ROY CORNELIUS

ROY CORNELIUS was born in McPherson, Kansas, March 31, 1883, and came to
Hoisington in 1902 and bought the Hoisington Dispatch which was established in
1889 by Ira H. Clark, who later sold it to Franklin Brothers, who, in turn, sold
it to Roy. Mr. Cornelius learned the printing trade in Great Bend under Ira H.
Clark and D. T. Armstrong. He was married in 1908 to Miss Theresa Helfert and
they are the parents of two children: Helen, 3 years of age, and Esther, about a
year and a half old at this writing. The Dispatch office, which is the pride of
its owner, is one of the best equipped printing plants in this section of the
state. It contatins [sic] a modern linotype, a good press for newspaper work and
good presses for the job department. The Dispatch is a weekly paper devoted to
the interests of Hoisington and Barton County and since Mr. Cornelius has been
guiding its policy has made a great number of friends. Roy is a capable,
enterprising business man and numbers his friends by the score both in the
newspaper profession of the state of Kansas and among the people with whom he
comes in contact in other lines of business. He occupies a nice residence in
Hoisington and devotes all his time to the management of his business. At the
present time he is official printer for the County of Barton having been elected
at the county election in 1910. He has filled this office in a satisfactory
manner and in a way that reflects credit on himself, his office and his many
friends in all parts of the county.
