The Tatman family of Connersville, Indiana, acquired The Sun in 1936. James Tatman served as publisher until his death in 1988. The Tatman family continued to publish The Sun until selling the newspaper to Schurz Communications Aug. 2, 2005.Boone Newspapers, Inc. took ownership at the start of 2016.
