Editorship post-Oder acquisition edit

"He continued his role as editor until the paper was sold and renamed in 1913, even while being elected to Maryland's House of Delegates in 1877." The implication here is that C.W. Oder was editor for this period, which doesn't seem to be the case.


Looking at the source provided, I am having trouble corroborating this claim. The cited source says, "On Feb. 24, 1872, C. H. Walker succeeded Mr. Grove, and continued as part proprietor until 1873, when C. W. Oder purchased his interest. Since then the paper has been published by J. B. Oder & Brother, the former being the editor" (p1479 “History of Western Maryland” Scharf 1882).
