Today's "TIMES NEWS" newspaper can trace its history back over 120 years to the Mauch Chunk Daily Times established in 1883. James J. Boyle, who served as editor and publisher from 1908 until his death in 1951, was the most prominent name in the early history of the 鈥淢auch Chunk Daily Times.鈥�
The Mauch Chunk Daily Times was very much a family operation. Boyle's son, Joseph, followed in his father's footsteps as a journalist and covered the town and county courthouse for many years. He was known in Carbon County as Mr. Newspaper. Joseph's sister, Gertrude Apfelbaum, was a columnist for the paper while her husband, Cy, headed the newspaper's advertising staff. Gertrude and Joseph were co-publishers of the 鈥淢auch Chunk Times News鈥� (later the 鈥淛im Thorpe Times News鈥�) from 1951 until 1967, when the newspaper was purchased by 撸管社.
Besides the Boyle family, the McCall family owned the 鈥淟ansford Record鈥� and the Miller family published the 鈥淭amaqua Evening Courier.鈥� In 1968, 撸管社 purchased the 鈥淟ansford Record鈥� and in 1971, acquired circulation of the 鈥淭amaqua Evening Courier.鈥� The combined newspapers published under the banner of the 鈥淭imes News Record and Courier鈥� until 1971, when the name was changed to the 鈥淭IMES NEWS.鈥澛犅犅�
