Collection Overview

Biography / History
Lawrence W. Hager was born in Louisville, Kentucky on May 28, 1890 to parents Samuel Wilber Hager and Bessie White Hager. His first newspaper job was as a reporter for the State Journal in Frankfort, Kentucky in the summer of 1908. After receiving a Master of Arts degree from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky at the age of twenty, Hager relocated to Owensboro to help with his father's evening newspaper, the Owensboro Inquirer. A former state auditor and treasurer, S. W. Hager won the Democratic nomination for governor in 1907, but lost the general election. He purchased the Owensboro Inquirer in 1909. Lawrence Hager helped to establish the Owensboro-Daviess County Chamber of Commerce in 1913. In 1914, Hager became managing editor of the Owensboro Inquirer and in 1915, he helped to organize the Owensboro Rotary Club. Hager also founded the Goodfellows Club in 1916, an organization that hosted annual Christmas parties for thousands of underprivileged children. In 1917, Hager enlisted in the Army and served as an artillery officer in the American Expeditionary Forces in France. S. W. Hager died in 1918 shortly before Lawrence returned from France. Upon Lawrence's return, he became editor and publisher of the Inquirer and his brother W. Bruce Hager became general manager of the newspaper. On June 5, 1921, Lawrence married the former Martha Augusta Brown of Parkersburg, West Virginia. Hager founded the Owensboro Publishing Company in 1928 and became chairman of the board. By 1929, he had consolidated Owensboro's two newspapers by buying the Messenger from Urey Woodson to form the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer. He founded the Owensboro Broadcasting Company in 1936 and in 1938 he started WOMI, the city's first radio station. In 1950, as a member of the board of trustees for Kentucky Wesleyan College, Hager helped to raise one million dollars to bring the college to Owensboro from its location in Winchester. In 1965, he was given an honorary degree by Kentucky Wesleyan College for his service to the college and the community. Also in 1965, Hager was honored by the University of Kentucky for his service to education in the commonwealth. In 1970, the Kentucky Press Association presented him with the Edwards M. Templin Award for community service through journalism. Lawrence W. Hager died in 1982. His two sons, John S. Hager, and Lawrence W. Hager, Jr. continued to publish the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer until it was sold in 1996.
Scope and Content
The Lawrence W. Hager papers (dated 1842-1997, undated; 32.86 cubic feet; 66 boxes, 2 items, 2 reels) comprise photographs, clippings, correspondence, and administrative files that document the life, career, and family of former editor and publisher of the Owensboro Messenger-Inquire newspaper, Lawrence W. Hager. The collection also reflects the history and growth of the western Kentucky community of Owensboro and Daviess County during much of the twentieth century.
Personal papers for Hager include biographies and correspondence on his education and marriage. Hager's relationship with local, state, and national politicians is reflected through correspondence and clippings. Documents for the Hager and White families consist of genealogies, materials for the gubernatorial campaign of Hager's father S. W. Hager, and files on the life and career of Hager's son, John S. Hager. Administrative files that document the founding and management of the Messenger-Inquirer newspaper include editorials, correspondence, and records of labor issues and equipment selection. The Owensboro/Daviess County series contains histories and clippings on the development and growth of the region.
The collection also features family photograph albums and portraits, photographs of Owensboro street scenes and distilleries, film reels that document the opening of the new Messenger-Inquirer building, and audio recordings of the 1978 Lawrence W. Hager Rotary Day and Transylvania College's 175th Anniversary Celebration.
