A part of the history of this newspaper walked in the front door this week, and it was an incredible feeling.
Family members of T.F. Harwell, who founded the Kyle News in 1903, walked in the door after noticing the stone at the top of the Hays Free Press building showed a date of 1903.
Bob Barton, owner of this newspaper until his death a few years ago, bought the Kyle News from Turner Harwell, T.F.’s son, in 1953. Bob was in college and jointly purchased the paper with his best friend and local legendary superintendent Moe Johnson.
