As World War II ended, so did the century-long history of the Evening News’ companion publication, the Telegraph-Courier. Since 1894 the weekly Telegraph-Courier had served Kenoshans who preferred a summary of six days’ worth of local events.
Shortly before the formal opening of the remodeled building, longtime editor Ernie Marlatt suffered a heart attack at his desk and died. However, the Marlatt name, in the person of his nephew, Walter “Bus” Marlatt Jr., outdoor writer and conservationist, continued at the paper for another decade.
F. Lee Hancock, an experienced newsman from Superior, Wisconsin, arrived as managing editor in June 1947. When Marlatt died, he assumed direction of the newsroom, and, eventually, in 1963, was formally promoted to editor.
Jim Barnhill, the newspaper’s sports editor and, incidentally, a professional football official, replaced Hancock as managing editor.
Willis H. Schulte became general manager in 1955, and, corporate president upon Ralph S. Kingsley’s death in 1963. After Bill Schulte died on April 26, 1979, his long record of civic activities was recognized with the naming of a 3.3-acre (13,000 m2) city park in his honor.
