Unfortunately, due to a fire at the Story City Herald office in the early 1900s, there are several years of the Heralds missing from 1890-1893 and 1900-1903. Thanks to land transfer records from the Story County, Iowa, Auditor and Recorder's office we can see who owned the property during this period. The owners are listed below along with the transfer date.
L.L. Dale & Wife to John D. Vail, Dec. 19, 1888
John D. Vail to George A. Shockley, Dec 24, 1890
George A. Shockley to T.O. Lindoen, April 10, 1891
T.O. Lindoen to Erick J. Peterson, Jan 31, 1893
​Erick J. Peterson to C.J. Vold, Sept 10, 1900
