The Edmond Sun began publication in July 1889, right after the Oklahoma Land Run. It was a source of information for cowboys, settlers, and all others making Edmond their home. The founder of the paper was Milton "Kicking Bird" Reynolds, who was very instrumental in the development of the town. He died a year later, and is buried at Gracelawn Cemetery. Next to his grave is an Oklahoma Historical Marker placed to honor him.
According to The Edmond Sun, the first subscription price was $1.50/year or $.75/6 months. Our current subscription price is about $30/3 months. Editions are published Tuesday-Saturday, and delivered by postal service.

A photograph that depicts your presence at the building is necessary. This can be a picture of your GPSr in the foreground in only one of your many pictures, or if you're not too camera shy, put you or a team member in the picture. Maybe even buy a newspaper while they're still in business. They need all the help they can get. No picture, no new log. And no icon.
