Former Post city editor James K. Joseph, columnist, teacher
Former Kentucky Post City Editor James W. Joseph filed his column Friday morning, about legendary sports writer Jim Murray, who had died last week of a heart attack.
A few hours later, Mr. Joseph was also dead, from a heart attack.
Mr. Joseph, 67, of Wheelersburg, Ohio, near Portsmouth, lived in Edgewood during the 16 years he worked for The Kentucky Post and The Cincinnati Post, and the Kentucky and Cincinnati Enquirer.
He earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Northern Kentucky University, and in 1996 was named the university's Alumni of the Year.
"He was very proud of that," his daughter, Joan Joseph, said of her father.
A native of the Portsmouth area, Mr. Joseph began his newspaper career as a 15-year-old sportswriter for the Portsmouth Times. Family and job responsibilities deterred him from earning a college degree until later in life.
"He was 47 when he decided to go back to college. His goal was to earn a bachelor's degree and a master's degree before he was 50, and he did it," said Joan Joseph, of Alexandria.
The degrees were completed while Mr. Joseph worked full-time in the newspaper business, and the load may have taken its toll physically, his daughter said. Not long after Mr. Joseph's
last graduation, he underwent heart bypass surgery, his daughter recalled.
Mr. Joseph spent the greater part of 35 years in newsrooms. He was with the Portsmouth Times for some 15 years in several capacities, including news editor. He also worked for the Fort Wayne, Ind., Journal-Gazette and the Lancaster, Ohio, Eagle-Gazette, before coming to The Kentucky Post in 1967.
"He was a very savvy newsman. He knew news. He was a dedicated, loyal man, a perfectionist," said former Kentucky Post Editor Vance Trimble.
"His contributions to The Kentucky Post helped make it a great newspaper," Trimble added.
Mr. Joseph later had stints with both The Post and Enquirer in Cincinnati, and was briefly the Kentucky editor of the Enquirer.
Mr. Joseph began teaching journalism, as a part-time instructor in the Communications Department at NKU. He moved on to become an assistant professor of journalism at Troy State University in Alabama. Health problems continued, and he retired there in 1988.
Moving back to his home area, Mr. Joseph began writing a weekly column, "Heroes and Other Folks" for the Portsmouth Times. It also appeared in the Ironton (Ohio) Tribune, and the Troy (Ala.) Messenger.
Last year, Mr. Joseph published a collection of his columns in a book, "Heroes and Other Folks."
Both his origins and his celebrity as a writer made Mr. Joseph a well-known person around his hometown. His visitation will be in the Clark Memorial Library at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth. "It was a place he dearly loved," said Joan Joseph.
Other survivors include his wife, Norma Joseph; a son, Jim Joseph of Georgetown; daughters, Judi Joseph of Lexington and four grandchildren.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Wheelersburg Methodist Church. Visitation is 4-8 p.m. tonight, and from 10 a.m. Tuesday until the time of services in Richards Rotunda of the Clark Memorial Library at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth. Harrison-Pyles Funeral Home, Wheelersburg, is handling arrangements.
Memorials are suggested to Shawnee State University General Scholarship Fund, Portsmouth, Ohio 45662; or American Heart Association, 1885 Dixie Highway, Suite 250, Fort Wright, Ky. 41011.
