MINICH, editor and proprietor of Kent "Saturday Bulletin," was born in Columbia, Lancaster Co., Penn., October 2, 1849; son of Henry G. and Ann C. (Albright) Minich. His father was a stock-dealer and son of Jacob Minich, a distiller of Landisville, Penn., of German descent. His maternal grandfather was Anthony Albright, a native of Philadelphia, and the publisher of the "Lancasterian" at Lancaster, Penn., son of John Albright, who published the first paper in the city of Lancaster. Our subject was reared in Columbia up to twenty-three years of age, and is a graduate of the Columbia Classical Institute. In 1868 he entered the office of the Columbia "Spy," where he served an apprenticeship of three years at the case. In 1872 he went to Akron, Ohio, and worked in the job department of the Akron "Daily Beacon" as a journeyman, and was for some time connected with the editorial department of the same paper. In 1874 he with others organized the Argus Printing Company, of which he was President, and founded the Akron Daily "Argus," with which he was connected up to May, 1876, when he removed to Kent and purchased the Kent "Bulletin," which at the time of his purchase had suspended publication for five weeks. At that time it was a six-column folio, but has since been enlarged to a six-column quarto. By the management of Mr. Minich it has been made a grand success, and with one exception has the largest circulation in this county. Since locating in Kent, Mr. Minich has been identified with nearly every enterprise of a public nature that tended toward the improvement of the city, many of which originated in the columns of the "Bulletin." He was married August 3, 1875, to Lottie E., daughter of Henry and Emily (Hodges) McMasters, of Akron, Ohio, by whom he has one child - Henry S. In politics Mr. Minich is a Republican. His paper is independent in all things.
