History
The Register was founded in 1915. In 1922, Roy L. Seright and his wife, Daisy, of Louisville, Kentucky purchased the paper, after being persuaded by local businessmen. After Roy died in 1931, Daisy took over as publisher, but left the day-to-day operations to a man named Curtis Small. Small was general manager until his death in 1980. At that time, Curtis’ son, Roy, assumed his duties with the newspaper. In May 1987, Daisy's grandson, Roy M. Seright, replaced her as chairman and publisher.[1]
According to the
In 1987, the papers were acquired by Hollinger.[6] GateHouse Media purchased roughly 160 daily and weekly newspapers from Hollinger in 1997, including the Register and Journal.[7] In August 2016, Gatehouse sold the newspapers to Paddock Publications based in Arlington Heights, Illinois.[8]
While the Daily Register was published six days a week for most of its lifetime, it is now published three days a week, by mail subscription.
