Harry Stauffer, who first employed the Ramage/Bronstrup press which is the feature of our print shop in demonstrating the old ways of printing, always said that the press once printed the Terre Hill Times. Just recently I started reading the copies on microfilm in the Society’s library for clues to the history of the press.
The Times was printed by at least two generations of the Cake family, a surname which makes Google searches for historical information very difficult. So far I have located where the Cakes had their shop in the 1894 and some genealogical information about Oscar, Anna, and W. O. The Times was published for 50 years from 1892 until 1942.
Research continues. Harry bought the press in 1953 from Clarence D. Herr of Sheridan, Pa. While the town name appears in various parts of Pennsylvania there is one near Newmanstown in Lebanon County and there is evidence on the press that a Lebanon event was printed on it.
