Sheffer, William K., the present genial and enterprising publisher of the Angola Herald, was born in Morrow County, Ohio July 6, 1845, and is the son of Adam and Rachel Sheffer;  he a native of Maryland, and she of Pennsylvania.  His youth was passed in his native county, and in his
twentieth year, he went to Kendallville, Noble Co., Ind., where he remained about eight years, and where he first engaged in the printing business.  In 1872, he entered the office of the Ligonier Banner, published in Ligonier, Noble Co., Ind., where he worked about five years, then came to Angola, and in July 1879, purchased a half-interest in the Herald, and in January, 1878,
became sole proprietor.  He was married in Ligonier, Ind.,  November 27, 1873 to Miss Eliza A. Pence, daughter of Samuel N. and Hannah Pence.  Mrs. Sheffer was born in Ohio August 16, 1848, and has one child--Lenora Elma Sheffer.  Mr. Sheffer has built up a good circulation, and his paper is filled with the most valuable news and reading matter for the general reader.  He is a friendly, pleasant gentleman, and in the short time he has been in Angola, has made hosts of warm friends, who speak highly of him as a man and newspaper publisher.
