In 1884 J. G. Murphy and W. A. Guthrie, co-workers at the San Angelo Enterprise, bought the weekly newspaper operation and began the Standard. The first four-page edition was published on May 3 of that year. Early stories included coverage of frontier scalpings and the life of the Fort Concho soldier. The Standard became an eight-page newspaper within six months and continued as a weekly until 1905, when the first issue of the Evening Daily Standard appeared. The newspaper and its leaders have played major roles in the development of San Angelo and surrounding areas
