The first issue was published in August 1924. The 1 magazine lasted only a year and its last issue was published in August 1925. Harleigh Schultz was born in 1882 and died in 1958. Born in Richmond, VA, he worked for the Hearst publications and also at the Boston American. He moved to Vineyard Haven, MA, soon after the conclusion of World War I. He is known to have been employed in both insurance and real estate. Mr. Schultz was also an employee of the NE Steamship Company in Oak Bluffs following the 1918 armistice. Shortly after his arrival, he began to publish a weekly newspaper that was eventually consolidated with the Vineyard Gazette in 1921. Mr. Schultz became the principal-teacher at the West Tisbury Academy and worked there until he left the Island in 1925. He and his wife began publishing The Vineyard Magazine in 1924. One thrust of the magazine was a crusade to better children’s education. Another focus of the magazine was to collect reminiscences of Vineyarders. After the closing of the magazine, the Schultz family moved to Boston. After filing for divorce from her husband, Natalie Schultz returned to the Island and settled in West Tisbury. Eventually her daughter, Eleanor, married Thomas Waldron of West Tisbury.
