Yuma Sun history

Then, on November 15, 1905, the paper was renamed The Morning Sun, becoming a daily newspaper.

In 1911, the paper merged with the Yuma Examiner to become the Arizona Sentinel and Yuma Weekly Examiner.

Then, in 1915, the paper merged with the Yuma Southwest to become the Arizona Sentinel Yuma Southwest.

In 1916 the paper was met with disaster, when a flood caused the collapse of the Morning Sun's offices, destroying all of the files of paper for the previous 20 years.

Finally, in 1918 it was again renamed the Yuma Examiner and Arizona Sentinel.

The paper moved from a daily to semiweekly in 1920, then became a daily once again later that same year.

In 1924, the paper merged again with Yuma Valley News and became the Examiner Sentinel News.

In 1925 it shortened its name to the Yuma Examiner.

By 1928 the Sentinel and the Examiner had become separate newspapers again.
