ensure success of his new paper he employed the dean of Postville’s newsmen, Bert Tuttle of the “Review”. Bert served as assistant and managing editor for over 55 years. He probably knew more about Postville and the papers on which he worked than any other individual in the community. It is said that he alone got Ringling Brothers Circus to come to Postville in 1916. Klingbeil served as editor and publisher of the paper until 1948 with the exception of about two years. He sold his interest in the paper to C. W. DeGarmo and Fred L. Martin. After the death of Mr. DeGarmo, James Seeley became partners with Fred Martin until Martins death. In 1985 Seeley sold the paper to Patrick Huber of Clarksville, Iowa. He was the sole publisher of the Herald from 1985 to 1991. The Wisconsin-based News Publishing Company of Mt. Horeb began a competing publication, the Postville Leader. Later the same year, the Herald was bought out by the Leader and the publication was renamed the Postville Herald-Leader. The Herald-Leader was purchased and renamed the Postville Herald at the end October 2009 by Meyer Information Technology. The paper’s motto, “A Live Newspaper for a Live Community Since 1892” has been a part of the paper’s history for many years. As of January 1, 2015 the Herald was purchased by Mid America Publishing of Hampton, Iowa. The Herald covers Postville City government and the news of Postville Community Schools. It covers news of Castalia and Frankville, as well as news of Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, and Winneshiek counties.
