GAZETTE PUBLISHER THEODORE KUCHEL REMEMBERED
LAGUNA HILLS --- The death of Theodore B. Kuchel last Friday stirred memories of Anaheim dating back to the days when he was publisher of the Anaheim Gazette and even back to the city's beginnings in 1860 when his grandfather, Conrad Kuchel, arrived in Anaheim as one of its original settlers.
The brother of former U.S. Sen. Thomas B. Kuchel, he was born in Anaheim Aug. 30, 1900, and attended public schools there before graduating from Fullerton High School in 1918 and from the University of Southern California with a pre-legal background in 1924.
His father, Henry Kuchel was the son of Conrad Kuchel, who came to Anaheim in 1860, three years after the colony of Anaheim was formed in 1857 and was the owner of 20 acres where the Gazette office was eventually located.
Henry Kuchel was about a year old when he arrived in Anaheim with his parents and became involved in the newspaper business in his early years as a carrier. In 1887, he bought the Gazette, which was the second oldest newspaper in the state.
Theodore Kuchel began his active participation with the Gazette in 1923. "He was a very fine man and was quite active in keeping extensive records along with James Friis on the development of Anaheim and the area," said Howard Loudon, former publisher of the Anaheim Bulletin, which became the Gazette's chief competition when it began in 1923 as a morning paper.
"He also had an excellent printing business," Loudon added. "The Gazette went from a weekly to daily and then back to a weekly before it ceased publication."
His father, Henry, helped roll the presses for the first issues of the Gazette in 1870 as a boy of 11 and 17 years later he bought the newspaper from his brother-in-law and was editor and publisher of the Gazette for 48 years.
Henry Kuchel was inducted into the California Press Association Hall of Fame in 1960.
He is survived by his wife, Genevieve and daughters Dorothy Dankanyin and Elaine Kuchel, brother Thomas Kuchel and five grandchildren.
No services were scheduled and the family suggests donations in his memory for the Crippled Children's Society or the charity of the person's choice. (news article provided by Anaheim Central Library History Room, from the Anaheim Bulletin, September 18, 1984)
