Marjorie Parham, an accidental publisher who took control of the Cincinnati Herald after her husband’s death and for more than 30 years made the newspaper a guide star for the region’s Black residents as well as the city, died Tuesday. She was 103.
Dr. Rhonda Spillers Washington, Parham s granddaughter, said Parham died in her sleep at her longtime home in the Cottingham retirement community in Sharonville. Washington said Parham had otherwise been in good health with no COVID and had been vaccinated in December.
