P. Prettyman,[3] who bought the printing plant of the failed West Virginia Methodist Protestant.[4] Prettyman, a schoolteacher who had developed an interest in typography, taught himself over a series of weekends to set type and run the press.[4] He would later change the name to The Oracle in 1881.[5] it passed through a number of owner's before becoming R. A. Gallagher purchased it and changed the name to the St Marys Oracle in 1885.[6] For a period of 15 years Gallagher ran it, selling a half interest to Robert L. Pemberton in 1902 who managed it from that time forward, buying the full interest in 1909.[4] By 1920 it had a circulation of 1,000.[7] In 2003, the paper sued the Pleasants school board, claiming it had violated the state's Sunshine Laws by not providing adequate details in a meeting where layoffs were proposed.[8] The two parties were able to resolve the lawsuit out of court, with the paper agreeing that the omission had been unintentional.[9] Related Resources
