Volume V, page 248-249

        PAUL H. STOUTT, editor and manager of the Uhrichsville Chronicle,
one of the well ordered newspapers of Tuscarawas County, is well upholding
the journalistic honors of the family name, his father, the late William
Henry Stoutt, having been one of the prominent figures in Ohio newspaper
circles for many years, as may be seen by reference to the immediately
preceding memoir.
        Paul H. Stoutt was born at Uhrichsville, August 27, 1890, and in
the public schools of his native city he continued his studies until his
graduation from high school. He then became a reporter for the Uhrichsville
Chronicle, later being advanced to the position of city editor, and since
the death of his honored father, who was the owner and publisher of the
Chronicle, he has been editor and manager. He maintains the Chronicle at a
high standard, and is one of the representative young newspaper men of his
native state.
        Mr. Stoutt is an active and influential figure in the local
councils and campaign service of the republican party, and under the
commission form of municipal government in Uhrichsville he served two years
as safety director, as the first incumbent of this office. In the city
election of 1923 he was the republican candidate for the office of mayor,
and though he was defeated he polled the largest republican vote in the
history of the city. He is serving in 1924 as exalted ruler of Uhrichsville
Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, is affiliated also with the
Masonic fraternity, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in their home city.
        The year 1912 recorded the marriage of Mr. Stoutt and Miss Mary
Templeton, of Columbus, Ohio, and the one child of this union is Paul H.,
Jr.
