Thirty years ago, the Wynot Tribune now a part of the Cedar county News, was founded by H.A. McCormick and the first issue made its appearance. Just two months after the town was founded Mr. McCormick, then a young newspaper man who had worked on the Sioux City Tribune, and in various other newspaper pursuits in Dakota City, South Sioux City, and in northwest Iowa, saw a wonderful opportunity for a live newspaper in a live town. He discovered to his dismay, that someone else had already had the idea of founding a newspaper so promptly preceeded to buy out the man who previous right and took over the new equipment as soon as it arrived. Mr. McCormick published the paper with the aid of his son, H.A. McCormick,Jr., until June of 1933 when Howard Allaway assumed the editorship and the McCormicks moved to Schuyler to publish the Colfax County Call, the Tribune continued under Allaway's management until Jan. 1934, when the Tribune, and Obert Times were consolidated with the Cedar County News. Allaway, now a member of the Associated Press staff at New York City, came to the News at that time and served as managing editor until September 1935. The first issue of that year, Jan. 4, contained the story of the consolidation with the promise that the Wynot Tribune should continue as a separate and distinct part of the News. And so it lives, the old Tribune, in the pages of the News, where Mrs. Henry Juergens reports the news each week.
