making the full amount of the quota

on the night of Dec. 24 th . 

Miss Ruby Perry, who has been 

teaching at Lotus this year 

completed her school last week and 

left Monday for Georgia, where she 

will remain until Spring. 

Miss Willie May Ridgway gave her 

pupils a nice treat and a big 

Christmas tree at the close of her 

school at Oak Grove Dec. 24. A real 

live jolly old Santa was there. 

Miss Ridgway has taught several 

schools at this place. 

Samuel Ridgway, Muir Funk, 

Elizabeth Weller, Janice Harned and 

several other Bullitt County 

students, who are attending college, 

spent the holidays with their parents. 

Miss Lillie Mooney spent the

The Pioneer News, 1920 - J. W. Barrall, Editor 

Transcribed from Microfilm by Edith Blissett in the year 2004 

Mrs. Samuel Hornbeck died at her 

home here Christmas day. She is 

survived by a husband and several 

children. 

Mrs. Hornback was a very quiet 

woman, but one of the fairest and 

most excellent women that ever 

lived in Bullitt County. 

She raised a large intellectual family 

and every son and daughter were at 

some time during their lives 

connected with the schools and the 

educational affairs of this county. 

The friends of Prof. J. H. Sanders, as 

a small token of their appreciation of 

his services to this town, school and 

community, gave him a handsome 

gold watch for his Christmas 

present. 

The Alumni teams of the local high 

school defeated the present team of 

basket ball players 34 to 18 in a 

hotly contested game here during the 

holidays. 

Samuel Ridgway, who is now on the 

College team at the University of 

Kentucky at Lexington, played the 

best game of his life, while Muir 

Funk, now of Georgetown College, 

was at his best with Ralph 

Henderson, Rodger Wiggington, 

Floyd Weller and Joe Blankenship, 

all doing their best, it would have 

taken a professional team to hold 

them down. 

This crowd of boys are not only a 

good bunch of athletes, but are as 

fine a crowd of boys as could be 

found in the state. 

The Schott Case 

The country at large has had enough 

of the Schott case. For weeks, the 

Louisville papers have teemed with 

all the filth and mire that busy 

scavengers could gather. Horrible 

Page 1 

details have been printed in full and 

the whole reading public should be 

ready for something decent. 

Marriages 

Arnold - Lowe 

Miss Beulah Arnold, of Cupio, and 

Mr. Chas. H. Lowe were quietly 

married Dec. 1. 

The bride is the beautiful and 

charming daughter of Mrs. Bert 

Arnold, of Cupio, and is one of the 

finest young ladies of this county. 

Mr. Lowe was one the 1 st Ky boys. 

The Pioneer News wish both Mr. 

and Mrs. Lowe a long and happy 

married life. 

Mudd - Hatfield 

Mr. Lon Hatfield and Miss Maggie 

Mudd were quietly married at the 

home of Mr. Ben Hatfield near Salt 

River and shortly after left for 

Louisville to spend Xmas with 

friends and relatives. 

Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield are very 

popular citizens of Clermont where 

they both have lived. 

The Pioneer News wishes them both 

a long and happy marriage. 

Roby - Porter 

Miss Mollie Roby, daughter of Mr. 

and Mrs. Jess Roby, and one of the 

most popular young ladies of 

Leaches, was quietly married (can’t 

read one line) at the Highland 

Baptist Church to Mr. Edgar Porter. 

Mr. Porter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. 

Ottis Porter, of Bardstown Junction, 

and a very popular young man. 

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. 

Porter wish them a long and happy 

married life.

Swearingen - Weller 

Miss Alleen Swearingen and Mr. 

Alfred Weller were quietly married 

at the Parlor of the Rev. Hoskinson, 

Louisville, Ky, Wednesday evening, 

December 31. 

Miss Swearingen is the oldest 

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lem 

Swearingen and a very popular 

young teacher, having taught in this 

County for the past three years. 

Mr. Weller is the son of Mr. and 

Mrs. W. R. Weller and a very 

prominent and successful young 

farmer. 

Their many relatives and friends join 

in wishing them a prosperous and 

happy married life.

Jail Empty 

The little Hotel just in the rear of the 

Courthouse, which Jailer Morrow 

has charge of, has been empty for 

about three weeks. It is about the 

first time it has been empty since it 

was built. 

Family Reunion 

New Year’s Day was a most happy 

day for Mr. and Mrs. James Ice, for 

on that day, all of their children were 

with them for the first time in 

several years. And not only their 

children were there, their 

grandchildren were there as well, 



and really monopolized all the time 

of the doting grandparents. Those 

present were: Lesle Ice, wife and 

children of Belmont, Chas. Roby 

and family of Belmont, Mr. and Mrs. 

James Langley and children of 

Louisville, Jessie Ice of Detroit, MI., 

Arthur Ice and family of 

Shepherdsville, C. L. Troutman, 

wife and baby, of Shepherdsville, 

Robert Ice, wife and baby, of 

Shepherdsville and Mr. and Mrs. 

Jas A. Ice. 

The fact that Mrs. Ice is an excellent 

cook is well known in most parts of 

Bullitt County, but on this occasion, 

she excelled herself in preparing for 

her children and it was a most 

bountiful feast to which the Ice 

family sat down. 

The day, which was all too short, 

was most pleasantly spent and when 

at last the falling shades of 

approaching night warned them that 

the day was done, all felt that it had 

passed away much too soon. It is the 

hope of Mr. and Mrs. Ice’s 

numerous friends that they may be 

able to have all their children with 

them and may the next time always 

prove the happiest. 

Silver Wedding 

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Shepherd 

celebrated their Silver Wedding 

January ???, 1920 at their home in 

Belmont. The following guests were 

present: Rev. C. E. Hameric, Mr. 

and Mrs. D. Northern, Mrs. Ida 

Bishop, all of Louisville and Mr. and 

Mrs. Emmett Coakley, Mr. and Mrs. 

John Masden, Mr. Joseph Welch, 

Miss Jennie Lutes, Mrs. Gertrude 

Shafer, Miss Vivian Shafer, Everett 

Coakley and Thornton Shepherd. 

Many handsome presents were 

received by Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, 

and in turn, Mrs. Shepherd prepared 

Page 2 

a dinner for her guests which will 

never be forgotten. Just about 

everything which appeals to the 

inner man and tickles the fastidious 

palate was on the table, and it is not 

a stretch of the imagination to say 

that the guests did ample justice to 

the spread. 

After a most pleasant day, the guests 

took their departure wishing Mr. and 

Mrs. Shepherd many, very many 

anniversaries of their wedding and 

the hope that they might see their 

Golden Wedding and their guests on 

this occasion might be with them on 

that occasion. 

Booze Going 

Something like 2000 barrels of

thousand barrels left which will be 

taken over by the Government on 

January 16.

Deaths 

Mrs. Lydia Fullenwider Hornbeck 

died at her home in Shepherdsville, 

Dec. 25 th , after a short illness. The 

immediate cause of death was heart 

trouble and pneumonia. On Sunday, 

the 28 th day of December, after sad 

and impressive services at the 

Baptist Church conducted by Rev. 

W. J. Banks, all that was mortal of 

the splendid wife and mother, 

neighbor and friend, was laid to rest 

in Hebron Cemetery. Lydia was born

in Meade County, Kentucky, May 

25 th , 1846 and journeying on toward 

the seventy-fourth milestone when 

the summons came. She united with 

the Little Bend Baptist Church with 

her mother and three sisters in 1862. 

She was married to Samuel A. 

Hornbeck, December 23, 1867. 

She is survived by her husband, 

Samuel A. Hornbeck, two sons, 

Samuel T. Hornbeck of this place 

and James Hornbeck of Texas and 

four daughters, Mrs. Mary Collings, 

Mrs. Letitia Wilson, and Misses 

Annie and Martha Hornbeck, all of 

this place. One daughter, Mrs. Bettie 

Griffin preceded her to the grave. 

She is also survived by one brother, 

Robert Fullenwider and four sisters, 

Mrs. Eliska (sic) Grigg, and Mrs. 

Columbia Hollcroft (sic) of Meade 

County, Mrs. Julia Davis of Davis 

County and Mrs. Charles Nasel, of 

New Albany, Indiana. 

We do not make our words too 

strong when we say that Mrs. 

Hornbeck was one of the best 

women in Bullitt County. Her life 

was an open book upon whose fair 

pages there was no blot or stain. In 

every relation of life, she measured 

up to the loftiest standards. Her 

ideals and conceptions of life were 

all that the most exacting could 

desire and she lived up to her high 

ideals and fine conceptions. Just two 

years ago, with her faithful husband, 

she helped to celebrate the fiftieth 

anniversary of her marriage. For 

more than fifty two years, she had 

borne the honored name of wife. The 

black clouds of war had scarcely 

lifted their hideous forms from the 

sunny skies of our beloved 

Southland when she gave her hand 

and heart to her gallant young 

soldier lover and for more than half 

a century, they fought life’s battles 



together, sharing its burdens and 

pleasures, its sunshine and shadow, 

standing together on the heights of 

happiness, and walking arm in arm 

through the valleys of grief and 

sorrow. Her place was in her home 

and there as wife and mother, she 

was the central figure around whom 

the other members of the household 

gathered. 

“Her children arise and call her 

blessed; her husband and he praiseth 

her.” The Psalmist never uttered 

truer words, nor words more 

appropriate to the subject of this 

sketch. Her long and useful life may 

be summed up as follows: 

She gave to her God seventy years of 

unselfish, consecrated Christian 

service. She gave to her husband 

fifty-two years of her loyal loving 

life. She gave to her family all her 

love, advice, wisdom and service. 

And she gave to her friends and 

neighbors all the attention and 

service possible, for she was a model 

neighbor and unfailing friend. We 

cannot, with the weak, inadequate 

words at our command, fittingly 

describe or portray her many good 

qualities and virtues. 

The large concourse of sorrowing 

friends and relatives who filled to 

overflowing the Baptist Church 

during the funeral service, the large 

number of beautiful floral designs 

brought by loving hands attested the 

love and esteem in which she was 

held. 

The sympathy of every heart in this 

community goes out to the grief 

stricken husband and children, and 

especially to the aged husband 

whose love and loving companion 

was taken away from his side in the 

gathering shades of life’s twilight in 

that hour when failing strength made 

Page 3 

them more dependent upon each 

other. 

We extend to the bereaved ones our 

sympathy in this their darkest hour 

of sorrow. No words of ours can 

assuage their grief. God alone can 

wipe away their tears and God alone 

in the years which lie ahead can lead 

them to that bright land where the 

angel spirit of their loved one 

dwells. 

Census Taker 

Mr. Ed Ray, the census taker, began 

his work Jan. 2. He will visit every 

house in his district and will ask 

many questions. Uncle Sam wants to 

know all. 

It is a hundred dollar fine to refuse 

to answer any question he may ask 

you. 

Enjoyable Xmas 

Most everyone enjoyed themselves 

Xmas as all we hear from had a good 

time and if anyone had too much 

John Barleycorn, we have never 

heard of it.

It is necessary for boys and girls to 

laugh, romp, play and enjoy 

themselves, for it is at that stage of 

life that the foundation is laid for 

future health.

An Appreciation 

The home of the Baptist pastor was

besides many nice articles, 

conveying timely suggestions such 

as wash rags, towels, etc. 

It was indeed a happy evening for us 

and may the Lord bless us 

abundantly with peace, love and 

prosperity the coming year.

High water 

For the fourth time in the last six 

weeks, Salt River has had the 

residents of our little burg on the 

lookout. Some expected to move 

most any moment, but it looks like in 

each rise, just as the danger point is 

expected, good luck came and 

checked the water. 

Last Thursday, Jan 9, it began 

raining early in the morning with a 

steady down pour during the day and 

by night, every hour saw it climbing 

the banks and by Friday evening, it 

had begun to look like a flood when 

the thermometer began to go down, 

checking the water and saving us 

from a flood.

and Neil Trunnell, well known 

business men of our town, have just 

bought the S. T. Hornbeck lot on

ever. 

The new firm takes this opportunity 

of saying that they expect to carry on 

the business in a business-like way. 

To do this, it will be necessary for 

everyone to have meters. If you have 

no meter or your meter is out of 

order, be ready to have the meter 

repaired or put in a new one. The 

new firm will expect everyone using 

lights to have a meter in and working 

by Feb. 1 st .

18, 1919, by written consent of the 

stockholders, the Gatton Garage Co. 

of Shepherdsville, Ky, dissolved as

A Perfect City 

It looks like some of the ministers 

are trying to make Louisville a 

perfect city by having them to close 

up all the picture shows on Sunday. 

We believe they could do more by 

getting on the police force of

Louisville and putting down the 

crime there.

Monroe says, “we’re wid him” so 

far. 

The administration changed hands 

some days ago and still John Bell

Mt. Eden 

There isn’t much visiting around 

since the Xmas holidays are past, as 

news of general interest is lacking. 

But we want this section to be 

represented occasionally in the 

columns of the “News”. 

J. T. Martin is quite ill. 

Lester Kelley and other relatives 

whose names we did not learn have 

been visiting D. M. Kelley. 

J. M. and Will Foster and Emmett 

Holsclaw were in Louisville a few 

days last week. 

R. B. Holsclaw has been sick, but is 

better. 

The Xmas holidays were saddened 

for Mrs. R. P. Sharp by a message 

stating that her grandmother was 

dangerously ill at home of her 

daughter near Paris. This message 

was followed shortly by news of her 

death. 

Maurice and Dorothy Foster have 

returned home after a visit with their 

grandmother Foster. 

Mrs. Aldena Barrall spent the week 

end with her teacher, Miss Margaret 

Hardesty. 



We have heard that J. M. Foster has 

sold his farm, but we hope they will 

not leave our neighborhood. 

We trust that many readers of the 

“News” read the article, “Shall the 

Davis Memorial be Completed?” in 

January 17 issue of the Courier 

Journal. This stirring statement of 

facts, written by E. Polk Johnson for 

the “Confederate Veteran” is 

addressed to the entire Southland 

and surely moves the admirer of 

Jefferson Davis. 

We wish our Editor might find space 

in his columns to publish it in full so 

that all who missed it might yet have 

an opportunity to read it. It is well 

worth publishing and reading as we 

feel sure all justice loving people 

would agree, whether or not they 

love and reverance (sic) the name of 

Jefferson Davis.

Plenty of Sugar

there is plenty of sugar. It is selling 

in Louisville for 17-1/4 cent a lb. 

and will be lower. 

Flour, which had advanced 50 cents

cheaper. The people should buy just 

as little sugar, flour, and in fact, 

everything that they can and they 

will soon see everything go back to 

normal prices again.

Persimmon Beer 

There is much inquiry these days as 

to the taste, strength, kick and color 

of persimmon beer. Men who 

formerly refused to discuss such a 

weak beverage will sit and talk about 

it for hours and we predict that in a 

few years, persimmon beer spiked 

with cocoa cola (sic) will be 

considered our strongest and best 

drink. 

If this turns out to be the case, large 

persimmon groves will become the 

order of the day and the once 

despised and scorned persimmon 

will become the king of all the wild 

fruits. 

Sleet, Rain, Snow 

Last Thursday, we had about every 

kind of weather that could possibly 

be had in one day. It first started 

raining, turned to snow and then to 

sleet and kept it up all night. Friday, 

it was still sleeting. It was the 

heaviest sleet in years and did much 

damage to timber and fruit trees. 

Saturday, it began to rise and we had 

our fifth high water. 

Hang the Profiteers 

Unless something is done to check 

the upward tendency of prices on all 

sorts of foodstuffs, it will soon be 

impossible to live unless one is a 

millionaire. There are hundreds of 

middle men in this country who 

should be sent to prison or put to 

death.

It is just as much murder to starve 

people to death as to shoot them to 

death. It is up to the poor people of 

this country to raise more 

vegetables. More people should go 

to the farm and become producers. 

The lure of high wages in the cities 

and manufacturing centers is a 

delusion and snare. Under the 

prevailing high prices, no matter 

what kind of wages one receives, 

after the necessary expenses are 

paid, there is very little left. If the 

government would imprison some of 

the conscienceless men who are 

becoming millionaires, while 

thousands are barely able to exist.

Chairman of the School Board of 

that place, spent Saturday here. 

Mr. Chas. Hardesty, Ethel Wise, 

Effie Johnson, Thelma Lee and ?? 

were here Friday with the pupils for 

the examination. 

Misses Lillian Thompson and Bertha 

Trunnell, of Leaches, of this county,

Miss Ruby Monroe, a well known 

teacher, has been chosen regular 

substitute teacher for the grades in

Just one year ago today, January 9

entered the home of Mr. J. D. 

Ferguson, a farmer near Brooks, and 

took away his beloved son, Earl 

Ferguson, aged 14 years. 

On Sunday, January 12, 1919 the 

two little sisters passed away. That 

makes it more sad, for the three were 

all he had. These are the saddest 

deaths that ever occurred in the 

neighborhood. 

They are not only missed by their 

own family, but there is a vacant 

place in the school where their 

bright smiling faces have been 

missed more than tongue can tell etc, 

etc. 

And a poem written by a school 

mate.

Federal Land Bank 

The Federal Land Bank of Louisville 

Declares a Dividend. 

Mr. Ora L. Roby, Secretary- 

Treasurer of the Salt River National 

Farm Loan Association of 

Shepherdsville, has just received 

notice from the Federal Land Bank 

of Louisville that the Directors have 

declared a dividend of six per cent 

per annum on all stock held by 

national farm loan associations. This 

will enable this association to 

declare a dividend to its 

shareholders, who are farmers in this 

vicinity borrowing from the Federal 

Land Bank. This dividend is not 

unexpected by persons acquainted 

with the progress being made by this 

bank. Although it has been in 

business for little more than two 

years, it has paid all its organization 

expenses and has placed twenty five 

per cent of its net earnings in reserve 

account, and after paying this 

dividend, has a nice sum left in 

undivided profits. 

Regular dividends will be declared 

in the future. This dividend serves to 

reduce the interest rates to the 

borrowers. All of the profits of the 

Bank go back to the borrowers in 

dividends, thereby giving the money 

to them at nominal cost. The 

borrowers will soon realize that

stock owned by them in the national 

farm loan association and the 

Federal Land Bank is a good 

investment and one to be highly 

valued. 

The Louisville Bank now has loans 

of more than $19,000,000 and it is 

estimated they will increase to 

$30,000,000 within the next year. 

The success of the Federal Land 

Bank is assured. 

More than $50,000 has been loaned 

to Bullitt County farmers the past 

two years at 5 per cent on long loans 

and any farmer who desires loans on 

good farm land should see: Geo. W. 

Maraman, Pres. or Ora L. Roby, 

Secy.

be saved, as well as a shorter road, 

by cutting straight lines. True, it 

might inconvenience some for the 

present, but when anything of such 

permanence as a turnpike is 

involved, men should rise above

petty personalities and look only to 

the interest of the greatest number 

and to the future, but alas! self is the 

highest object most of us can see and 

our own little affairs loom larger 

than the universe.

The boys midget basketball team of 

the Shepherdsville High School 

played the Midget team from St. 

Xavier College of Louisville last 

Thursday afternoon at the local gym, 

which resulted in a victory for the 

home boys by a score of 12 to 10. 

This was one of the best games that 

has ever been played here and the 



result was in doubt until the last 

second when the whistle blew and 

the referee announced 10 to 12 in 

favor of the “County Jakes”. 

The following boys played for the 

home team: Morton Weller, Robt. 

Tyler, Chas. Lee Bradbury, Pat Pope 

and Jas. Stallings.

Mrs. L. L. Daugherty died at her 

home here Sunday. 

She was an excellent lady and had 

many friends at Stithton where she 

had always lived. Her family had 

only recently moved here. 

The following article appeared in a 

school paper last week and may be 

of interest to our students who have 

recently witnessed the burial of one 

John Barleycorn. 

It was 278 years ago that the 

prohibitionists launched their first 

drive on John in this country, when 

Maryland, in 1642, passed an act 

punishing drunkenness by a fine 100 

pounds of tobacco. In 1544, 

Pennsylvania legalized the selling of 

liquor to both whites and Indians. 

Connecticut and Rhode Island found 

it necessary to prohibit selling it to 

the Indians and other colonies later 

took similar action. 

In 1650, Connecticut forbade 

“tippling for more than half an hour 

at a time”. In 1654, Massachusetts 

fined tavern keepers 20 shillings 

who sold liquor to a man who was 

already drunk. Maryland, in 1658, 

decreed that any man found drunk 

should be put in the stocks for six 

hours. Virginia decided that a 

Page 28 

common drunkard was a person who 

had been drunk three times. That 

state had to legislate against the 

clergy, who were specifically 

forbidden by law to “give 

themselves to drinking unlawful 

games”. 

New Jersey ordered, in 1668, that no 

one should drink. 

In 1685, the Quakers of 

Pennsylvania and neighboring state 

declared solemnly against 

intemperance and in 1760 they 

sough to forbid the use of liquor at 

funerals. New Hampshire in 1700 

forbade innkeepers to allow people 

to drink in their inns Saturday night 

or Sunday. Georgia, in 1757, 

prohibited giving a liquor selling 

license to any one who was “capable 

of gaining a livelihood by honest 

labor”. 

It was in 1789 that the first 

temperance society was started in 

this county, (country), at Litchfield, 

Conn. In 1794, the ‘Whiskey 

Rebellion” broke out in 

Pennsylvania against the taxation of 

liquors. In 1802, Congress began to 

pass general legislation on the 

subject of liquor and made provision 

for stopping the selling of it to the 

Indians. 

The first national temperance 

convention was held at Philadelphia 

in 1833. The movement gained 

ground til Neal Dow, known as ‘the 

father of prohibition” organized the 

Maine Temperance Union in 1887. 

Two years later, Connecticut 

invented “local option” to allow 

each community to decide the liquor 

question for itself. 

In 1842, Lincoln addressing a 

temperance society at Springfield, 

Ill. urged a “temperance revolution”.

The next year, Oregon passed a 

prohibition law, but soon repealed it. 

Maine first went “dry” in 1846. In 

1849, Father Matthew, a priest from 

Ireland come to this country and 

began a great pledge signing 

crusade. In some places, riots 

resulted over the whiskey issue, and 

in 1855, the militia had to be called 

out in Chicago. 

Lincoln, when elected President in 

1860, refused to give drinks to the 

notification committee and also 

refused to accept a gift of liquor. 

Next year, he signed a law 

forbidding the sale of intoxicants to 

soldiers, and in 1862, Congress 

repealed the law which allowed a 

daily ration of liquor to men in the 

Navy. 

In 1843, John H. Gough, the famous 

temperance orator, had begun his 

campaign against drink. In 1871, 

Francis Murphy helped to organize 

the Catholic Total Abstinence Union 

and he delivered sermons all over 

the country. In 1874, the Women’s 

Christian Temperance Union was 

formed and the women of the 

country began to take a decisive part 

in the work. Steadily more and more 

territory was won to prohibition. 

Sometimes it was only a town that 

was declared “dry”, then a county, 

then a state - and finally the whole 

nation. 

Aug. l, 1917, the Senate authorized 

the submission to the states of the 

prohibition amendment. The House 

gave it approval Dec. 18. All the 

states, except New Jersey, 

Connecticut, and Rhode Island 

finally ratified amendment and the 

ratification was proclaimed by the 

state department Jan. 16. 1920.

Death - Mrs. Grace Daugherty 

Mrs. Grace Daugherty, wife of 

Leonard Daugherty, died at her 

home in this city last Sunday from 

the effects of cancer with which she 

had been suffering for some time. 

She was about 41 years of age. She 

was a member of the Baptist Church 

and also a member of the Order of 

Eastern Star. On Tuesday, after 

impressive services at the Baptist 

Church conducted by Rev. H. S. Bell 

of Lebanon Junction and Star of 

Hope Chapter, O.E.S. of this place, 

her remains were taken to Hebron 

Cemetery and laid to rest. The pall 

bearers were H. H. Combs, O. P. 

Means, Joe Chappell, O. L. Roby, 

Embra Deacon, Charles Morrison 

and Arthur Ice. 

The flower bearers were Willie May 

Roney, Eva May Thompson, Ethel 

May Kulmer, Lydia Wilson, Lois 

Sanders, Auretta (sic) Maraman, 

Aleen Maraman, Martha Ice, Gladys 

Ice, Beulah Barrall, Ruth Kerr and 

Martha Morrison. 

Mrs. Daugherty leaves here to 

mourn her loss, her husband and 

three children and many other 

relations in Hardin and other 

counties. In every relation of life, 

she measured up to the requirements. 

She was a Christian woman, a true 

and affectionate wife, a loving and 

devoted mother and kind neighbor. 

In the very prime of life with her 

husband and children about her, she 

was summoned by the invisible 

messenger when life meant much to 

her. The withering, blighting hand of 

age had not been laid upon her; she 

had not began that sad march from 

the highest point along life’s 

highway, down to the brink of the 

mystic river, when the shadow of 

death fell around her, and she passed

from the activities of life to the 

silence of the tomb. 

The fragrant flowers brought by 

loving hands to beautify her last 

resting place must soon fade and be 

borne away by the biting winter 

winds, but in that land which lies 

beyond the farther borders of this 

life, the redeemed spirit of the wife, 

mother, friend, and neighbor shall 

live forever in presence of an all 

merciful God. 

To the grief-stricken father and 

children, we tender our deepest 

sympathy and we know that God 

who mark the sparrow’s fall and 

tempers the wind to the shorn Lamb 

will comfort them in the sad and 

lonely hours which lie ahead of 

them. 

Death - Maxie W. McDaniel 

Maxie W. McDaniel was born 

August 14, 1884, died February 10, 

1920. He was 36 years, 5 months 

and 27 days old. 

He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, 

four children, Woodford, Thomas, 

Carl, Ethel May and three step-sons, 

James Mason, Claud and William, 

one sister, Mrs. Annie Shepherd and 

one brother, Bates McDaniel. 

His remains were laid to rest in the 

Bullitts Lick Cemetery Wednesday. 

He had been a member of the 

Bullitts Lick Church about 20 years. 

He was a noble husband and father 

and with his neighbors he was kind 

and obliging. He had toiled hard all 

his life and was preparing to enjoy 

the remainder when death took him 

away. 

We extend to the bereaved ones our 

sympathy. We know that his family 

and neighbors have sustained a great 

loss. 



Peace to his ashes and each Spring 

when the grass grows and flowers 

bloom, may they beautify the mound 

beneath which he lies asleep. 

Asleep in Jesus. Blessed sleep, from 

which he never wakes to weep.

afternoon. The Rev. W. J. Banks, 

father of the bride, officiated. Mr. 

Guy Hecker was best man. Misses 

Mary Carolina Huber and Ruth Kerr 

were flower girls. It was a most 

beautiful and impressive wedding. 

The fair young bride never looked 

more lovely in a traveling dress of 

taupe cloth and black picture hat. 

Both the bride and bridesmaid wore 

a corsage of roses and carnations. 

The groom wore the conventional 

black. After the ceremony, the happy 

young couple left on the north bound 

train for Louisville, where they will

make their home. The bride is the 

daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. J. 

Banks, and is a young lady of beauty 

and refinement and during the short 

time she lived in our town, made 

many friends by her affability and 

charm of manner. The groom in a 

native of Texas but has lived in 

Louisville for some time. He is a 

young man of sterling qualities and 

has a promising business career 

before him. 

We extend to the happy young pair 

our best wishes for a long life of 

unalloyed happiness.

That Model City 

Before the last city election held in 

Louisville, the Republican Party was 

yelling out with the gang “give us a

everything looks now. It has been

We hear that there will be several

Dice and playing cards will surely be

Editorials 

No matter how much one may feel 

like shooting the Louisville 

policemen, one is bound to admit 

that they are meddlesome. 

Some of those republican club 

members in Louisville certainly “do” 

know how to gamble. 

Ben Wolf, who formerly conducted 

a saloon at Tenth and Broadway, 

Louisville, has signified his 

intention of going to Pennsylvania to 

live. Certainly tough on Penn.

Taxes High 

The county Supervisors, Pet (sic) 

Wiggington, of Mt. Washington, 

Ewing Crenshaw, of Leaches, John 

Collins of Lebanon Junction and 

Bob Smith of this place were in 

session Friday and Saturday hearing 

complaints from the ones they had 

raised the week before. 

The Board at Frankfort sets there 

and says what each county must pay. 

The County Judge appoints a board 

here, one from each magisterial 

district to go over the assessors 

books and raise who they want to. 

The Board should be good 

businessmen who have made 

successful farmers, but often it is 

some one who cannot put a fair 

valuation on what little they own 

themselves. 

We know some property that is 

raised to as much or more than the 

owner asks for it, while others have 

property for which they paid 

$20,000 to $30,000 and can cash it 

for that amount and still they do not 

pay taxes for over half that amount. 

It is the poor man with only a small 

and poor farm who pay the heaviest 

tax.

A Splendid Office 

While in the city recently, we called 

at the office of Drs. J. V. Prewitt, S. 

W. Bates and Frank P. Strickler, in 

the Republic Building, NE corner of 

Fifth and Walnut. They have 

splendidly equipped offices and are 

able to care for all cases which come 

their way. 

Dr. Prewitt is a well known and 

highly skilled surgeon and Dr. 

Strickler, who is a son of Dr. 

Strickler, of Elizabethtown, is a 

young surgeon of rare skill and great 

promise. He had several of practical 

work and experience in the late war. 

As for Dr. Bates, (Our Sam), he 

needs no introduction at our hands. 

He is one of the best young 

physicians in Kentucky and with the 

great experience which he got in the 

late war, is second to none in the 

civil practice of medicine. 

If you feel that you want medical or 

surgical attention form city doctors, 

do not fail to call on Drs. Prewitt, 

Bates and Strickler in the Republic 

Building.

Death - Mrs. Emma Murry 

Troutman 

Mrs. Emma Murry Troutman, 

beloved wife of R. L. Troutman, 

died of apoplexy at her home in this 

place last Monday morning about 4 



o’clock, after an illness of less than 

one half hour. Her husband, R. L. 

Troutman, heard her made a slight 

noise, and rushed to her bedside to 

find her in the throes of death. 

Medical aid was summoned, but she 

died soon after the physician reached 

her. Mrs. Troutman was married to 

R. Lee Troutman about twenty years 

ago. Before that time, she had lived 

on Blue Lick, in the Northern part of 

the county for many years. She was 

a member of the Baptist Church with 

which she united shortly after her 

marriage. 

She leaves as her immediate 

survivors, her husband, R. L. 

Troutman and two sisters, Mrs. 

Nannie Gross and Mrs. Kate Miller 

of Indianapolis, Ind. 

She was buried in Cave Hill 

Cemetery on Wednesday after 

services in the Baptist Church in this 

place. Rev. W. J. Banks conducted 

the services and preached a most 

tender and touching sermon. 

The large concourse of people 

attending the service and the many 

beautiful floral designs attested the 

esteem in which she was held. The 

people of our community sympathize 

with Mr. Troutman in his great 

bereavement. He has been bereft of 

his life companion just when she 

was needed most. 

To the stricken husband and sisters, 

we extend our sympathy. 

Death - Mrs. Amanda French 

Last Thursday morning, Mrs. 

Amanda French, beloved wife of 

Chas. French, departed this life,

months.

the light of day, she closed them in

the twilight of death. Her brief life 

was lived here, it was open as a book 

and pure as a flower. 

Among those who knew and loved 

her, childhoods happy day passed by 

and the child became a woman. 

While yet in the border land where 

childhood and womanhood blend 

together, she gave her young heart to 

God and meekly took her stand 

beneath the banner of the cross. We 

stand and wonder at the strange 

Providence that takes away our 

treasures at such an early hour in 

life. To find that they have been 

suddenly cut off so bewilders our 

minds that we cannot fully realize 

the truth that there are no accidents 

with God. The end was peaceful and 

expected. her family was with her in 

her suffering and all was done to 

comfort her that loving hands could 

do. How we hate to give her up and 

miss her, but God called her and she 

answered the call. 

She leaves to mourn her loss a 

husband, Mr. Chas. French, father, 

mother, two brothers and five sisters, 

besides a host of relatives and 

friends. (And a Poem) 

Death - George Philpot 

Mr. George Philpot, aged 18 years, 

died at his home in Louisville 

Sunday night. 

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Pete 

Philpot who had been residents of 

this county. 

He was an exceptionally good young 

man and his many friends were sorry 

to hear of his death. 

He leaves a father, mother and 

several sisters and brothers to mourn 

his loss.

His remains were brought here 

Tuesday morning, laid to rest in the 

Bullitts Lick Cemetery. 

Silver Wedding Anniversary 

Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Lovelace. This 

brilliant and beautiful occasion was 

celebrated at their superb home, 

2823 Virginia Avenue, Louisville, 

Ky., Saturday evening April 3, 1920 

by about two hundred relatives and 

friends, both sexes and all ages, 

forming a perfect bouquet of 

humanity, grace, elegance, good 

taste and heartiness characterized the 

whole scene from first to last. 

The arriving joy-bringing guests, the 

long line of autos on the square; the 

many beautiful presents; the 

bounteous delicate refreshments and 

the general freedom, joy and 

gladness of all made a deep 

impression and left a beautiful 

picture on the minds of us all and 

one that will not soon fade away. 

The original wedding was 

solemnized in the Baptist Church at 

Shepherdsville by the writer. The 

bride was Miss Ida Rayman, 

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. 

Rayman of Pitts Point, Bullitt 

County. The groom, Mr. Herbert C. 

Lovelace, of Boston community, 

Nelson County. There were both my 

pupils, she first at Pitts Point, and 

then both of them at Boston. She 

was thus, for a time, a member of my 

family and has always seemed like 

one of my children. 

There were good pupils, always 

considerate, differential and 

aspiring. 

The took the vow and 

responsibilities of matrimony at an 

early age but their happy domestic 

life and successful business career 

are proof that they made no mistake. 



Hand in hand, they have combated 

life’s storms to their present 

successful state and richly deserve 

the congratulations heaped upon 

them. Seven attractive, promising 

children have blessed this union. 

Words cannot describe the 

appearance of the two youngest, one 

a girl of about six and the other, a 

little boy of four as they marched 

down into the parlor ahead of 

“Mamma and Pappa”. Few children 

have such a pleasure and honor. The 

other children know as well as their 

parents how to make guests feel at 

home. Among those present to share 

with pride and gratitude the high 

honors done the couple were the 

mother, brother, and sister of the 

bride and the mother, father, and 

sisters of the groom and aunt Mal. 

Some old friends and neighbors also 

came in for a full share of the 

greeting besides quite of number of 

their schoolmates from Pitts Point 

and Boston. These made it seem like 

a reunion to me and gave me great 

joy for all seemed to be thriving and 

happy. 

Their new found friends and 

neighbors entered with equal zest 

into the festivities and contributed 

music, laughter and song. 

May heaven’s richest blessing 

continue with this happy couple and 

with all who shared their home and 

hospitality that evening. And may 

they live to have a golden wedding 

and may many who were present on 

this occasion be spared to celebrate 

that with them is the wish and prayer 

of their devoted friend and teacher.

Red Mens Picnic, Monday, July 5 

To be held on Monday, this being 

the legal holiday, as the 4 th falls on 

Sunday. 

Page 60 

The vacancy on the committee due 

to the absence of J. B. Buky, who 

has been very active and 

instrumental in making the former 

picnics so successful was filled by 

the appointment of Waverly Bell. 

Dr. Ridgway and Conrad Maraman 

are the other members of the 

committee. 

A contract with one of the best 

bands in the State was just closed 

which insures excellent music for 

the occasion. The entertainment 

committee is now working on the 

program and will complete it within 

a few weeks. They promise a 

number of new and novel features. 

At night following the picnic an 

exceptionally fine picture show at 

the Masonic Temple is promised. A 

big dance has also been scheduled 

for the Fraternal Hall. It appears that 

a sum total of all attractions for this 

day is going to make Monday, July 

5, a red letter day for Shepherdsville.

All counties in Kentucky are 

required by the new school law to 

levy a tax of not less than 25 cents 

on the $100 or not more than 50 

cents on the $100. The counties near 

us have just made the following 

levy: 

Meade County - 50 cents 

Hardin County - 45 cents 

Jefferson County - 50 cents 

Nelson County - 40 cents 

Spencer County - 40 cents 

Bullitt County - 25 cents 

The Bullitt County School Board is 

in good shape financially. We are 

glad to report no indebtedness 

whatever, and will have 

approximately $8,000.00 cash on 

hand at the close of the school year 

which ends June 30, 1920. The 

increase in the school taxes for the 

coming year from 15 cents to 22 

(sic) cents on each $100 is the result 

of the new state law which forced 

the school board to raise the levy 

which was reluctantly done by Fiscal 

Court, but as the County has no 

choice, the levy had to be made at 

not less than the minimum 25 cents.

Brooks Station held sway in our

one side and then the other won a 

round, but at the close, those who 

did the fighting had sore heads and 

sour dispositions while the State and 

officers have the coin. 

For animated, artistic testifying, for 

animation and animosity and real 

anagosity, the proceedings were in a 

class by themselves. These fights of 

themselves are not very harmful, but 

they cost the fighters money, and 

then they may lead up to something 

more serious. Our advice to them is

to stop right where you are. Fighting 

does not pay.

Death - George Philpot 

George Preston Philpot, age eighteen 

years, eight months and twentyseven 

days, fell asleep at his home 

724 W. Oak Street, Louisville, 

Sunday, April 11, 1920, after a 

lingering illness of one year. 

He was the oldest son of Peter P. and 

Barbara Mathis Philpot and was 

always a good boy, so kind, so 

gentle, and so thoughtful of others. 

Apparently, he enjoyed health all his 

life until last April when he 

developed diabetes.

Local physician, specialists, 

chyropractor, (sic), in fact, 

everything was done for him that 

loving hands could do, but to no 

avail. He continued to suffer. 

Through it all, he never murmured, 

but was patient to the end, his last 

message being, “Praise the Lord. I 

am going home.” 

“The Lord giveth and the Lord 

taketh” so the spirit took its flight to 

that heavenly home. His life was a 

benediction to all who knew him. 

The funeral service was conducted 

by the Rev. W. J. Banks in the 

Baptist Church at Shepherdsville, 

after which the remains were taken 

to the family burying ground on the 

Hardy farm near Pitts Point for 

burial, there to await the 

Resurrection morn. 

He leaves to mourn his loss a father, 

mother, two brothers, seven sisters, 

many relatives and host of friends. 

To the bereaved family, we extend 

our deepest sympathy.

Miss Katie Mae Ball entertained the

a candy pulling April 24, at her

There was quite a bunch of bright 

looking children present and every

success.

a very charming hostess. 

After the candy was cool, the 

children entered into the pulling of 

it, with much zest and before long 

delicious golden threaded taffy was 

placed on oil paper to be enjoyed by 

the children. 

More entertaining games were 

played, photos made, the fun 

increasing as the time passed.

Against Sunday Baseball 

We, the undersigned citizens of Mt. 

Washington and vicinity, do not 

favor Sunday Baseball on the school 

grounds or any other grounds 

because it is in violation of the Law 

of God. 

See Deut. 5:12. Keep the Sabbath 

day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy 

God hath commanded thee. 

Isa 53:13. If thou turn away they 

foot from the Sabbath, from doing 

any pleasure on my Holy day, and 

call the Sabbath a delight, the holy 

of the Lord, honorable; and Shalt 

honor Him, not doing thine own 

ways, nor finding thine own 

pleasure, nor speaking thine own 

words, then shalt thou delight thyself 

in the Lord; and I will cause thee to

ide upon the high places of the 

earth, and feed thee with the heritage 

of Jacob, thy father, for the mouth of 

the Lord hath spoken.

In memory of 

Our dear sister, Alice A. Hardy, who 

departed this life, April 29, 1920. 

Age 61 years, 3 months and 13 days. 

She began her career early in life as 

a teacher. Forty years ago, she was 

given a position in the public school 

at Wenzel and Market Streets, 

Louisville, which she held until 

death claimed her. She was loyal to 

the call. And it was said of her by 

her teacher friends she was a soul of 

honor. As I sit tonight with tear 

dimmed eyes, I can truly say she 

gave her life for others and was 

loved by all who knew her. She was 

the oldest of twelve children; father, 

mother, 2 brothers and 3 sisters 

preceded her. As I sat by her bedside 

and watched her parting breath, I felt 

that the Lord was near and could 

hear Him saying, “Thy life’s work 

has ended, thou good and faithful 

servant, come up higher.” 

She has been a member of East 

Baptist Church a number of years. 

Loyal to her church. Just two years 

and one month since mother was 

called from earth to heaven and now 

both are sleeping side by side in 

their silent tombs to await the 

resurrection morn. As I stood beside 

her casket and looked at her sweet 

face, my heart almost breaking, the 

thought came to me, “Blessed are the 

pure of heart for they shall see God.” 

For it can be truly said of her she 

was pure and noble. 

And a poem ending: By a sister who 

loved her. Mrs. C. C. Parrish

The following well known men were 

recently elected trustees in the 

Graded School Districts of this 


Shepherdsville - Arthur Ice 

Bardstown Jct. - Dr. J. G. Dodds 

Belmont - Wm. Logsdon, E. L 

Bradbury, T. L. Coakley 

Lebanon Junction - R. C. Langley, 

R. A. Collings 

No more trustee elections will be 

held in rural school under the new 

law. The present subtrustees will 

hold office this year and beginning 

Jan. 1921, the County School Board 

will appoint all trustees, both white 

and colored.

The salary schedule for rural 

teachers in this County for the 

coming year has been returned from 

Frankfort and the salary is as 

follows: 

1. For a teacher holding a 2 nd class 

certificate or its equivalent, $75 per 

month. 

2. For a teacher holding a 1 st class 

certificate or its equivalent, $78 per 

month. 

3. For a teacher holding State 

Certificate or its equivalent, $80 per 

month. 

Experience, attendance, etc. is very 

similar to the 1919 salary schedule. 

Today, Bullitt County has only one 

2 nd class certificate. 

Miss Katherine Griffin and Mr. 

Gabe Bealmear, a popular young 

couple of this place were quietly 

married here on the evening of May 

15 th . 

The bride has been one of the 

County’s most successful teachers 

and is a most excellent young lady, 

while everybody knows and likes 

Gabe Bealmear. 

They will probably make their home 

in this County, in the Hebron 

section. 

Base Ball

Washington May 16 and played the

and Grigsby for Mt. Washington, the 

former having 18 strike outs to his 

credit and the latter 15. The score, 

Mt. Washington 5, Shepherdsville 7.

Marriage 

Griffin - Bealmear 

Miss Catherine Griffin, daughter of 

Mr. William N. Griffin, of this 

place, and Mr. Gabe Bealmear, of 

Zoneton, son of the late Ben 

Bealmear, were married at the home 

of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Maraman, of 

Salt River, Saturday evening, May 

15 th . Rev. Henry K. Deacon, of the 

M. E. church performed the 

ceremony. 

Miss Griffin was one of 

Shepherdsville’s prettiest and best 

liked girls. She is a graduate of the 

High School and has always been a 

great favorite wherever known. She 

is the youngest daughter of Mr. 

Griffin and will be greatly missed by 

our people. 

Mr. Bealmear is a well known young 

farmer of the Zoneton section, and is 

as well liked by all who know him. 

For several years, Mr. and Mrs. 

Bealmear have been devoted to each 

other, and their wedding seemed 

only a question of time. 


Bealmear wish them long life and 

Page 80 

much joy and in this wish the 

Pioneer News joins with the added 

wish that their pathway may be one 

bower of beautiful roses and their 

love for each other always as warm 

and tender as when they first linked 

their lives together. 

Cochrane - Skidmore 

Cards have been received here 

announcing the marriage of Mrs. 

Maud Samuels Cochrane, of 

Barrallton, to Mr. Chas. B. 

Skidmore, of Indiana, on Mar. 13, 

1920. 

Mrs. Skidmore was one of Bullitts 

most popular young ladies, while 

Mr. Skidmore is a well known 

businessman. 


We wish to thank our many friends 

for the kindness shown us during the 

illness and death of our beloved 

father, Mr. Crist Deacon. Sons & 

daughters. 

Shepherdsville High School 

Shepherdsville High School closed 

last week in a veritable blaze of 

school glory. 

There were declamations, orations, 

essays, valedictories, salutes, gifts, 

presents, speeches to the graduates, 

class histories, sweet girl graduates, 

and the usual profusion of fragrant 

flowers, to say nothing of proud 

parents and happy teachers. 

Beginning at Fraternal Hall on 

Monday evening, the exercises held 

the boards until the including (sic) 

Friday evening when the diplomas 

were given at the Masonic Temple 

and audience and graduates listened 

to an address from Prof. Karquahar 

(looks like) of the University of 

Kentucky, which was pronounced by

competent critics to be one of the 

best ever heard here. His subject was 

“Literature” and he held to his 

subject throughout. His address was 

logical and convincing. It was ornate 

and bordered on the classic. His 

language was beautiful and from all 

standpoints, his address was 

masterly. It was heard with patience 

and pleasure by one of the largest 

audiences which has ever been 

present on such an occasion, many 

being compelled to stand during the 

entire exercises. 

Thirteen graduates received 

diplomas and did not seem to be one 

bit abashed on account of the 

unlucky number. Those receiving 

diplomas were: Misses Martha Lee, 

Margaret Combs, Cora Cash, Glacie 

Orms, Catherine Melton, and Ruth 

Smith and Messrs Thomas Trunnell, 

Dorsey Hecker, Robert Borger (sic), 

Johnson Ash, Theodore Combs, 

Thomas Stallings and James 

Collings. 

The week’s exercises brought to the 

surface much talent and the large 

audiences were delighted with many 

selections, many of the young 

scholars showing gifts which had not 

ever been suspected by their friends. 

The school spirit is still on the 

incline in Bullitt and we hope to see 

the time when a high school 

education will be considered 

indispensable to the future success 

of every boy and girl. Boys are going 

from this school to the University of 

Kentucky and the U. S. Naval 

Academy in Annapolis. 

Geographically, Bullitt is one of the 

best located counties in Kentucky. In 

intelligence and those sterling 

qualities which go to make a great 

people, the citizens of Bullitt are not 

lacking. With churches and school 



houses filled with the best of our 

people, there need be no fear for our 

future. The verdict of our citizens 

after witnessing and hearing the 

closing exercises was: That Prof. 

Sanders and his splendid corps of 

teachers had measured up to all 

requirements and done all that could 

have been done and they are entitled 

to the sincere thanks and gratitude of 

every person in the County, for our 

school is a county school. 

But three of the graduates, Misses 

Ruth Smith, Cora Cash and James 

Collings, live in our school district. 

All the others are from other 

districts. 

New Teachers 

It seems certain at this time that our 

High School faculty, with the sole 

exception of Prof. J. H. Sanders will 

teach elsewhere. 

Miss Birdie Manor, Helen 

Burkholder, Mary Thompson, Pearl 

Hickerson and Martha Stevenson 

have made it known that they will 

not be back next session. The 

departure of these splendid young 

lades and excellent teachers must 

and will be regretted by all friends of 

our school. 

Miss Manor, who taught the wee 

ones, was a splendid teacher, in her 

department, painstaking and gentle, 

and loved by every child in her 

room. She is a young lady of the 

character and added much to our 

town socially, in church work and 

wherever she could be of service. 

She goes with the hearty good 

wishes of all. 

Miss Burkholder will leave a place 

which will hard to fill. She is a 

young lady of learning and wide 

reading and is one of the best 

teachers in the State in the subject 

Page 81 

which she teaches. In going, she 

leave a multitude of warm friends 

and many affectionate pupils to 

regret her going. 

Miss Mary Thompson, who shared 

with Miss Burkholder, the arduous 

duties of teaching in the high school 

department, is another teacher who 

made many friends here by her 

unaffected manner. She is a graduate 

of Georgetown College, the daughter 

of a prosperous Shelby County 

farmer and is a splendid young 

teacher. 

When you speak of Miss Thompson, 

you are bound to think of Miss 

Hickerson, and vice versa, for they 

were almost inseparable 

companions. Miss Hickerson, whose 

home is near Springfield, is 

Washington County, is also a 

splendid well equipped teacher, 

conscientious in her work, 

unassuming and retiring. She leaves 

a world of good friends here, and 

had she come back for more than 

one session, her friends would have 

increased in number, for one had but 

to know her to like her. 

Miss Martha Stevenson, the alter 

ego of Miss Birdie Manor, was the 

last to come to our school, but she 

made many friends very rapidly and 

her departure causes genuine regret. 

She was a splendid teacher and 

young lady as well. 

We have not learned whether Miss 

Nadine Melton will teach here or 

elsewhere, but Miss Melton’s work 

in the school room is too well known 

to need comment here. She is one of 

our best young teachers and most 

splendid young ladies. 

We lose these splendid young ladies 

and fine teachers, principally 

because they can make more money

elsewhere. While the costs of living 

go up, our taxes furnish about the 

same amount of money and we are 

bound to keep within a certain limit. 


The bride of Mr. Ira C. Flood, of 

Kansas City, was not Miss Bessie 

Grant of Leaches, but Miss Eudell 

Grant of Pleasant Grove, and the 

only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K. 

Grant. They were married by Bro. 

Brandon in Shepherdsville, May 4 th , 

1920 and they left for LaGrange and 

did not locate in Kansas City. We 

wish them happiness and prosperity. 

Miss Genevive Stallings spent the 

week end with Miss Glayce Orms. 

Congratulations to the two who 

graduated from Pleasant Grove. 

Miss Glacye Orms and Mr. Dorsey 

Hecker. We are proud of them. May 

their lives be long, useful and 

upstanding.

Hebron 

Everyone is talking and growling 

about the H.C.L. and yet on every 

hand we see the canvas covered 

plant beds, signifying that farmers 

will put the best ground into tobacco 

instead of corn, sorghum or some 

useful crop and why? For the sake of 

the money in it. 

Away with the noxious week! Help 

feed the world not debauch it. “Am 

I my brother’s keeper?” I am. 

Misses Mary Cynthia Holsclaw and 

Kuth (sic) Thornberry returned from 

a delightful visit to Mrs. Carrithers 

at Ting or Edgewood. 

While there, they attended several 

delightful affairs, BYPU at Mt. 

Washington, and enjoyed an 

extended auto trip with Mrs. 

Carrithers and Squire Carrithers in 

their new “Dodge”. Both want to 

repeat their visit soon. 

Page 83 

Mr. Morton Long, of Brooks, has 

returned from Okolona City (sic), 

and will farm with his father. His 

sister, Miss Vida, will remain until 

August. 

Mr. Chas. Priest, who was operated 

on for appendicitis at Norton 

Infirmary, is able to resume his 

duties in his store at Okolona. 

Bealmear - Griffin 

We were pleasantly surprised 

Sunday with the news of the 

marriage of Mr. Gabriel Bealmear to 

Miss Kathryn Griffin of 

Shepherdsville. Gabe was 

considered one of the confirmed old 

bachelors and his friends are glad he 

turned benedict. 

We do not know the bride, but know 

her family and feel sure she is every 

way worthy to reign as mistress in 

the home where Gabe’s mother hold 

gracious sway so long. We wish the 

happy couple much joy and 

prosperity. 

We are certainly glad the Hebron 

Manse is occupied again. It is good 

to have a resident minister. 

Mrs. Jordon Brooks entertained the 

WMS of Little Flock Thursday, May 

6 th . The forenoon was devoted to 

sewing carpet rags. At noon, a 

bountiful luncheon was served on 

the co-operative plan and at 2:30 

p.m., all assembled in the parlor for 

the spiritual feast of song, scripture 

and study of Mountain Schools. Mrs. 

Brooks has the rare faculty of 

making the individual guest feel 

especially honored. 

Mrs. John L. Whitledge lies in dying 

condition at his home with Mr. 

Henry Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins. The 

silver chord has been loosening for 

some months and two weeks ago, he

fell in his room fracturing his hip. 

Mr. Whitledge has long been a 

unique personality here, honest, 

honorable, with a humor that was 

irresistible, everybody liked him. He 

was a friend to be depended on in 

time of need, and perhaps helped 

more neighbors than any other one 

man. And now they have a 

opportunity by tender ministrations 

to show their gratitude. 

Several of our 8 th grade pupils took 

the exams last week. Hope all 

passed. 

Mr. Price Howlett, Pitts Point, spent 

the week end with J. R. Ball and 

family. 

Misses Meta Cooper and Mary 

Holsclaw visited friends at 

Edgewood Sunday afternoon. 

We shouldn’t like to send children to 

a teacher who refers to them as 

“kids”. To me, that indicates a 

coarseness and lack of culture 

inconsistent with what a teacher 

should do. 

We are glad the Mt. Washington 

folks have expressed themselves so 

emphatically against Sunday 

baseball. We say Amen! Some of 

our National calamities may be due 

to our abuse of the Sabbath. 

Remember the Sabbath to keep it 

holy and wholly!. How do you spend 

Sunday? 

A few friends surprised J. R. Ball on 

his birthday by coming to spend the 

evening. All enjoyed. Me too. 

Mr. Chas. Kelley was given a 

surprise party on his birthday. (Cant’ 

read when)

Christopher P. Deacon 

Christopher Powers Deacon, born 

February 15, 1950 (sic), was called 

to rest May 16, 1920, reaching the 

age of 70 years and 3 months. He 

was one the County’s best citizens. 

Both moral and spiritual, being very 

quiet and peaceable, he was loved by 

all who knew him. 

He has suffered for the past two 

years or longer with Cancer of the 

mouth and for the past four or five 

months, has suffered intense pain, 

yet he bore his pain with patience 

and trusted in God to carry him 

through to the end. He was laid to 

rest in Cedar Grove Cemetery by the 

side of his wife, who was taken from 

him some thirty years ago. 

In the presence of quite a large 

number of relatives and friends, 

funeral services were conducted by 

Bro. H. K. Deacon. 

He leaves to mourn is loss three 

children, Embra Deacon of 

Shepherdsville, Bert Deacon of 

Cedar Grove and Mrs. Nellie Weller, 

of Louisville; one brother, J. H. 

Deacon; one sister, Miss Bettie 

Deacon, nine grandchildren and a 

host of relatives and friends. 

T. J. Bryant 

Mr. T. J. Bryant, aged 53 years old,

The Lebanon Junction High School 

closed last week with an excellent 

series of entertainment in which 

large crowds were in attendance 

every night. 

The Graduating exercises were held 

Thursday evening with Prof. Leiper 

of Bowling Green as the speaker. 

The 1920 class was composed of the 

following young students: 

Augusta Dawson 

Garnett Masden 

Maymee Carter 

Ruth Masden 

Because of small salaries offered by 

the Graded and High Schools of this 

County, only about 6 of the 21 

teachers are asking for their old 

positions. 

For once, the rural schools are being 

regarded as they should be. 

All rural teachers will be elected by 

the trustees in the various divisions 

of this county July 5. 

This is the last year that trustees will 

select the teachers for rural schools. 

In the future, all teachers will be 

appointed in Kentucky by the 

County School Supt. 

In the recent diploma examination, 

Mary Dell Barnes of Mt. 



Washington led the class, while 

Harris McAfee of the same town 

made the second best grade, owing 

to the fact that the questions were so 

hard, only 29 out of 75 passed. 

The leader, Miss Barnes, is a bright 

young girl of attractive appearance 

and shows good traits, while young 

McAfee, who was only a few points 

behind Miss Barnes is also a bright 

young student. 

They have been trained the past nine 

months by Miss Bertha Engle of 

Belmont. 


There will be decoration service at 

the cemeteries here next Sunday 

afternoon. All who are interested 

and have friends or loved ones 

resting in this City of the Dead, 

please make an effort to be present. 

We hope this move means the 

beginning of plans to better the 

condition of our cemetery and the 

work of beautifying the grounds will 

develop. 

There will be a special program by 

the Junior and Senior Leagues next 

Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Special music 

and other interesting items are on the 

program. 

The BYPU will also have a special 

service at the Baptist Church. 

Mr. and Mrs. W. L. McGee have 

issued invitations to the marriage of 

their daughter, Sara Elizabeth to 

Rev. Herman Fox, of Louisville, at 

the bride’s home at 8 p.m. June 2 nd . 

Mrs. F. C. Porter was very agreeably 

surprised last Saturday night by 50 

of her friends quietly slipping in to 

celebrate her birthday. All report a 

pleasant evening with lots of good 

things to eat. 

Page 85 

We like to give our bouquets to the 

living, so we are glad to tell thru the 

kindly arbitration of Mrs. Ella 

Swearingen, between the base ball 

boys and their employers the games 

thru the summer will be on Saturday 

afternoon instead of Sunday. The 

players all appreciate her interest in 

them and we all feel that we owe her 

a debt of gratitude. 

We also realize that the release of 

the boys on Saturday afternoon 

means a sacrifice on the part of the 

businessmen and farmers, especially 

Wiggington and Porter at the 

Cyclone Store who have two of their 

employees on the team and Saturday 

is their very busy day. We have to 

have many good ball games here and 

dates are now open for Saturday 

afternoon games. 

There is always a right and a wrong 

way to accomplish good results and 

win people’s confidence; Mrs. 

Swearingen chose the successful

Bridwell, a first class blacksmith of 

former day, and who has long ago 

passed from earth. 

Miss Nunnelly’s Musical 

The musical given by Miss Nunnelly 

and her pupils during 

commencement exercises has been 

very highly complimented by many 

competent critics and skilled 

musicians. The ukahoula (sic) is a 

new instrument comparatively 

speaking, but it has come to stay. No 



one can listen to the sweet tones of 

the little instrument and fail to fall in 

love with it. Mr. E. E. McCormick, 

who attended the performance and 

gave close attention, pronounced it a 

perfect success and said he believed 

he would purchase an instrument 

and take lessons himself. 

Judge H. H. Glenn was even more 

unstinted in his praise than Mr. 

McCormick. The Judge has 

purchased two ukahoulae and 

threatens to purchase six more. He 

was ecstatically delighted and sang 

the praises of all the youthful 

performers as well as of the little 

instrument from the Hawaiian 

Islands. 

Many ladies in the audience were 

highly delighted and were unsparing 

in their praises.

real speed was. It is Jim’s boast that 

he has done lots of fast speeding in

she gets into the car and gives Jim 

one of those “angelic” smiles, Jim 

just naturally turns the machine 

loose and speeds up.

Mr. Joyce is one of our best citizens 

and we hope that everyone will give 

him all the assistance they can so he

Farmers Backward 

Farmers are far behind in their work, 

due to too much rain and from the 

scarcity of farm labor, there won’t 

be one fourth of crop raised.

The present board of trustees of the 

town passed re-enacted an ordinance 

which requites the streets to be free 

of all sorts of obstructions such as 

implements, and vehicles, fences,

vendors and it is high time we were 

cleaning up the streets.

the road and bridge fund for the next 

three years to have paid it and by 

that time would have been worn out.

played like a house afire, too. 

Out the series of 5 games to be

we hope there will be as good game 

there.

out Sunday and played our boys in 

one of the best games played here 

for years.

several of them had played

Lee, RF; Cundiff, CF; Henderson,

week to be used on the grounds and 

grand stand and to buy 12 nice new 

suits for the home team.

Important Meeting 

There is a Disease that has been 

killing and crippling men and 

women in our midst for a long, long 

time and has been wrecking more 

homes and happiness than tongue 

can tell, and yet it has been 

considered as a secret trouble, a 

matter “that you must not talk 

about”. 

Intelligent Americans are demanding 

that this false modesty, which has 

lived only at the expense of 

innocence and purity, be brushed 

aside and that they be told the truth. 

American men and women are big 

enough to face the facts .. Bad tho 

they be ... and to gladly accept 

messages that shall help them to do 

better with the problems confronting 

them and their children hereafter. 

In this strange new day which we are 

living in, it appears to our leading 

men and women that the time is at 

hand to teach everybody the truth in 

regard to Social Diseases, and 



medical men and Nurses are carrying 

the word everywhere. 

Dr. Leon Solomon, on of the best 

physicians in Louisville, and who 

has had years of experience in this 

work at the City Hospital and 

University of Louisville, will lecture 

at the Masonic Temple, 

Shepherdsville, Friday, June 25, 

upon the subject “Social 

Communicable Diseases”. He will 

speak to women and girls of 14 years 

and over in the afternoon, and to 

men and boys over 14 years at night. 

The night lecture will be illustrated 

by both moving pictures and slides. 

Everything will be free and a large 

crowd is expected at both lectures. 

There will be some great surprises in 

store for you. County Board of

A Trip to Frankfort 

From Pleasant Grove 

On Thursday morning, June 4, four 

farmers started for Frankfort - Judge 

Cassell, T. H. Wise, J. W. Lloyd and 

Arch Magruder were our party. We 

left J. W. Lloyds place about 7 

o’clock. 

Our first stop was made at Mt. 

Washington for gasoline and while 

there, a certain man made this 

remark “that sheep would be killed 

today” and one of our party said, “ 

they might be eaten today”. So we 

motored by the way of 

Jeffersontown, Middletown, 

Shelbyville and other small towns. 

We reached the Capitol about ten 

o’clock and very much surprised to 

Page 97 

find it is a hilly county although a 

nice place on the Kentucky River. 

We saw the front of the Capitol, the 

Statue of Goebel, who was 

assassinated. 

Next, in the reception room where 

we stood on a rug which cost 

eighteen hundred dollars. 

Next to the Legislative Hall, we saw 

the desk which had been occupied 

by our Bullitt County legislators 

such as Hon. J. R. Zimmerman, 

James Lee and also the Editor of the 

Pioneer-News. 

Next we went to the Senate Chamber 

and to the Historical room where we 

saw the pictures of all the old 

heroes. Washington was there, who 

never told a lie. His picture was 

worth $10,000, John Quincy Adams, 

Daniel Boone and his old rifle, with 

a notch cut in it for every Indian he 

killed. 

Foster was there, who composed 

“My Old Kentucky Home” and 

“Swanee River”. We also saw the 

statue of Lincoln. 

There are granite columns in the 

Capitol which cost $1,800 each. 

The building cost about $3,000,000. 

And there was the white mansion 

standing on the banks of the 

Kentucky River, a beautiful 

building, quite a contrast to some of 

our humble farmers who have to 

work day by day to help support all 

of these things. One of our members 

suggested that we go over and take 

dinner at the White House or the 

Mansion (whichever you please to 

call it) It was just 12 o’clock, but we 

thought the cook might be away. 

Anyway, we went to a hotel for our 

dinner and we got, as Lloyd said, 

“Candlestick corn bread”. We got

plenty of water as it was on the 

Kentucky River. 

The next place was the penitentiary 

with its 1,200 inmates. This was not 

a pleasant sight to behold. Suppose it 

is a necessity to protect the good 

citizens and to punish the ones who 

violate the laws of our land. 

We saw where they baked 1,100 

loaves of bread at once. 

We were especially impressed with 

the Hospital with its white cots and 

clean appearance. 

So it was about 8 o’clock and it was 

time to leave for home and we all 

decided we were more than paid for 

our trip. 

Mr. George Fields

Henry Lincoln Johnson 

Henry Lincoln Johnson, a Negro, 

was elected National Committeeman 

for the great state of Georgia by the 

Republican national convention at 

Chicago. He had been chosen by the 

Republican delegates from Georgia 

and the convention reacted what had 

been done. He defeated a white man 

for the place. 

He is one of the delegates from 

Georgia, and along with Dr. George, 

the Negro delegate at large from 

Kentucky, is attracting much 

attention. 

The Negro, as a big and prominent 

factor in Republican Conventions 

and councils is here to stay and 

cannot be denied. He enjoys equal 

political rights with his white coworkers 

in the republican ranks, and 

must be given an equal show and 

opportunity. He is entitled to it. He

never bolts for years in and years 

out, goes faithfully to the polls and 

casts his republican vote. 

The Negroes are demanding social 

equality and equality in holding 

offices and in the schools. They are 

demanding that separate schools be 

abolished and both races be 

compelled to attend the same 

schools. Why not? It a white woman 

and a colored man can go to a 

convention as delegates at large, 

why should not their children sit 

together in a school room?

Rev. H. D. Burns filled his 

appointment at Bullitts Lick 

Saturday night and Sunday. It was a 

sad occasion for after six years of 

faithful service to our church, Bro. 

Burns tendered his resignation, 

which was very reluctantly accepted 

by the church, in fact, only after a 

second appeal by the pastor who felt 

the call of duty elsewhere. To say 

that we are sorry to give Bro. Burns 

up does not begin to express it. A 

naturally gifted speaker, a helpful 

pastor, at all times proving himself a 

true servant of God, he has done 

untold good as pastor of Bullitts 

Lick Church. 

Our best wishes and prayers go with 

him to his charge. He will continue 

his work at Victory and Pleasant 

Grove.

Some years ago, he united with the 

Baptist Church. His funeral was 

conducted by the Rev. W. J. Banks

We have just received the grades 

from Frankfort for the teachers who 

took the June examinations here and 

find the averages very satisfactory. 

Miss Lillian Wiggington had the 

highest average while Mrs. Mary B. 

Crenshaw was only a few points 

behind her. In fact, the following 

teachers all made high grades and 

the general averages were almost the 

same, ranging from 90 to 93 per 

cent. 

Lillian Wiggington, Mary B. 

Crenshaw, Ruby Rush, Carolyn 

Hackney, Margaret Sanders, Pearl

Rush, Martha Lee and Neva 

Magruder. 

The following teachers were 

appointed by the County School 

Board Thursday to fill vacancies at 

Cedar Glades, Clermont, Nichols 

and Corinth: Sylvia Phelps, 

Katherine Melton, Ethel Wise and 

Hallie Wise. 

Miss Eunice Ridgway spent a few 

days here last week visiting friends 

and relatives. 

Miss Martha Lee and Ruth Dodds 

Smith have schools in Hardin 

County, while Miss Mattie Ellen 

Magruder will teach. (sic) 

We are now short two white teachers 

and one colored teacher in this 

county. 

The following schools began their 

fall sessions this week: (and 

teachers) 

Shades - Christin (sic) Armstrong 

Needmore - Stella Simmons 

Beech Grove - Meta R. Cooper 

Sugar Valley - Edyth Clark 

Pleasant Hill - Evelyn Sutton 

Cedar Grove - Susie Bridwell 

Victory - Mary Weller

The new law positively requires all 

counties in this State to employ at 

least one delinquent or truant officer 



for the schools and the State Dept. of 

Education will soon hold a 10 days 

school at the State University, 

Lexington, for these officers. 

This officer need not be a resident of 

the County where he is employed 

and need not be a teacher as his 

whole duty is to go out to the parents 

and find out why the children from 7 

to 16 are not in school, thus taking 

this duty off the trustees and 

chairmans of our rural and graded 

schools. 

As we preferred a County man, Mr. 

W. C. Kulmer, one of the County’s 

best young men has been given this 

position and will devote his entire 

time to the aiding and assisting the 

poor children of Bullitt County in 

securing what they are entitled to 

receive, at least a common school 

education. 

Any family in the County having 

books or clothing that they no longer 

need, will please help this “home 

mission move” by notifying. W. C. 

Kulmer, Shepherdsville. 

Red Mens Picnic 

Article describing the Picnic. (Not 

transcribed in full). 

Must have been close to three 

thousand people on the grounds, 

hundred from Louisville and nearby 

towns. Brings a large number of 

friends together who have not seen 

each other since last time. 

Usual contests put on seemed to 

please the crowd immensely, 

especially the ladies tug of war. 

Hardy Cruise, as usual, carried off 

the honors in the trotting and pacing 

contests. 

One of the most inspiring sights to 

be found was the weiner stand, 

Page 112 

where those odoriferous chunks of 

peppered sausage were split open, 

fried and placed between two slices 

or pieces of bread and sold for ten 

cents. They went like hot cakes in 

cold weather. To watch some youth 

with a capacious mouth and a large 

and ever growing appetite grasp one 

of those sandwiches on one hand and 

a bottle of “Coke” of parlay in the 

other, and then proceed to surround 

the whole outfit, was indeed 

inspiring. The dining room did a 

good day’s work and the refreshment 

stand was simply swamped at times. 

Jim Hardaway was at the cash box 

all morning, but in the afternoon, 

there was too much Rush, and he 

went to the grand stand. 

Jack Newman was working under a 

big strain all day. His girl was in the 

grandstand and he was needed in the 

refreshment stand, and he settled 

matters by dividing his time. 

Johnny Buck had on his first flat 

derby, which means that he was 

making good orangeade, as no man 

can make good orangeade unless he 

wears one of these flat derbys a la 

Compton. 

It was just about the best picnic 

Chicora Tribe has ever given. The 

only thing lacking was Jess Buky, 

who spent the day fishing on the 

right bank of the Atlantic Ocean near 

Fort Pierce, Florida. 

Of course, we do not intend to 

overlook Waverly Bell, who was 

right in the thickest of the work all 

morning and the sweetest of the 

courting in the afternoon. 

Most of the society boys were 

dressed a la mode; that is to say, 

georgette pants with peekaboo shirts 

trimmed in white crepe with black 

socks to match; straw hats, Irish

Cobbler smiles and an appetite for 

talking “bunk”. 

Among the newcomers at the picnic 

was Fred Newman and family of 

Mobile, Ala., who are in Bullitt on a 

visit to relatives and friends. 

Another visitor was Mr. Carter, of 

Shelby County, who was here 

visiting James Hardaway and 

friends. Mr. Carter is a prosperous 

farmer of Shelby County and may 

decide to settle down this way.

Crady - Ford 



June 16 saw the happy ending of 

another World’s War romance when 

Miss Carrie Crady, formerly of 

Belmont, now of Louisville, was 

united in marriage to Lloyd C. Ford 

24 at 3:15. The ceremony was 

performed by the Rev. J. C. 

Hoskinson, pastor of the Davison 

Memorial Church. 

The young couple left June 19 for 

their home in Lowell, Michigan, 

where the groom is a prominent 

farmer. 

Bullitt County Boy Heard From 

The many friends of Edward M. 

Barrall, a former teacher in this 

County and only son of Mr. and 

Mrs. Claud Barrall, will be glad to 

hear of his success in the U. S. 

Navy. 

He is a now a first class ship titler 

(looks like) and on board the U. S. S. 

Pittsburgh. 

(He describes his tour - not 

transcribed) Except to say: Ed says 

he feels at perfectly at home in 

Athens, since he saw so many Buick 

and Ford cars. 

Ed wishes to be remembered to his 

friends and says that immediately 

upon their arrival in the States, he 

expects to start for “Old Kentucky” 

where he will be at home to 

everybody.

Personal 

Our handsome friend, H. H. Combs, 

cashier of the Bullitt County Bank, 

was the happy recipient of one of the 

prettiest girls we ever saw. She 

represented the movie people - one 

of those altitudinous artcraft 

concerns and believe us, Chawlie, 

(sic), she was a beauty. She looks 

like ice cream tastes. She makes 

American Beauty Roses and pretty 

flowers like bunches of dried onion 

tops. She staid in the bank and talked 

to Harry in that sweet way so 

peculiar to pretty girls until forty 

two minutes of train time, when she 

evinced too much interest in Bud 

and Harry took her to the depot.

How a man can look at a girl of that 

kind and talk sense is utterly beyond 

us. Under the impression of her dark 

eyes and sweet smile, a fellow might 

give twenty-five dollars a reel for 

pictures that were not worth seeing.

Visits Home 

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Newman and 

daughter, of Mobile, Ala., are the 

guests of Mr. and Mrs. John 

Newman and Mr. and Mrs. T. J. 

Trunnell. Several years ago, there 

were not more popular people in the 

younger set that Mr. and Mrs. 

Newman. She is pleasantly 

remembered as Miss Kate Daniel, 

daughter of Col. Daniel, of the 



Bardstown Junction neighborhood 

and everybody remembers Fred with 

his pleasant smile and good nature. 

Fred has become one of the fixtures 

of Dixie and is one of the 

dependable commercial travelers of 

that section. Like all loyal Bullitt 

Countians, Mr. and Mrs. Newman 

have come back for one more look at 

old scenes, and another handshake 

with old friends. Their many friends 

welcome them back and trust that 

their stay may be a most pleasant 

one, for here in the Free State of 

Bullitt, there is a welcome to all 

former sons and daughters who 

come back to gather inspiration from 

the old homes and the sweet 

memories which cluster about the 

family hearthstone. 



The school board of Belmont has 

employed the following teachers for 

the coming term, Miss Ruby Bush, 

Principal and Miss Bertha Engle, 

Assistant. Both are splendid teachers

place.

bridal trip, they will make their 

home in Florida, where Mr. Daniels 

has a Chair in one of the leading 

colleges in that State. 

We extend congratulations to this 

excellent young couple. 

We are glad to report that the local 

school board has again secured the 

services of Miss Helen Burkholder 

for the coming term. 

Miss Burkholder is well qualified 

and owing to the shortage of 

teachers in this State, her place here 

would be hard to fill. 

Get tags for your dogs at once as the 

Sheriff has had about 50 killed 

during the recent “drive” and yours 

may be next. 

We have just received a check from 

County Treas. Geo. W. Maraman for 

$852.76 for the schools of this 

county, being the amount due us 

from “Dog Tags”. 

A Call to the People 

Governor Edwin P. Morrow has sent 

out a call to the people in behalf of 

the Kentucky Memorial Building 

Fund. In that call, he asks the people

not to forget the 2756 sons of the 

State who gave their lives in the 

World War. 

Forget those boys? God forbid that 

we should. Let’s erect two 

memorials, one here in Kentucky in 

the form of a building and the other 

at Washington in the form of The 

League of Nations and stop all wars 

in the future. 

(Highlights only) 


We want to thank Mr. Kulmer, our 

old mail carrier for his kindness and

man may be just as good.

am now prepared to haul small loads 

on it or large loads on my 1-1/2 ton 

service truck. Robert Ice, 



The new Methodist Church was 

dedicated last Sunday with a very 

impressive service. Rev. S. H. C. 

Burgin read the 24 th Psalm, followed 

by a prayer. His second lesson was 



read from John’s Gospel and his 

subject was “Looking for a Home”. 

At the close of his sermon, he made 

it known that $3,000.00 was needed 

to finish the indebtedness of the 

church and in a short time, this 

amount and an additional $2.00 had 

been given, mostly cash 

subscription. 

The building was then formally 

dedicated to the service of God 

followed by a prayer by Rev. J. C. 

Brandon, of Shepherdsville. 

Dinner was then announced and the 

crowd of more than 1,000 was 

bountifully served with plenty of 

good things and some to spare. 

In the afternoon, Rev. M. L. Dyer, of 

Woodbourne Avenue, Louisville, 

preached a splendid sermon and at 

the close, the ministers present came 

to the altar where the congregation 

gathered in a good old time 

Methodist handshaking. 

The ministers present were Revs. S. 

H. C. Burgin and M. L. Dyer, of 

Louisville, J. C. Brandon, 

Shepherdsville, F. M. Petty, 

Jeffersontown, and W. L. Griggs, of 

Cedar Creek Baptist Church. The 

special songs by Miss Rebecca 

Parrish, Bates Bros. and the men of 

our choir were enjoyed by all. 

We are justly proud of our new 

church and appreciate the kindness 

of every one who contributed to the 

success of our labors, either by their 

presence or in a financial way.

steady and all right. In a few weeks, 

C. J. will be coming this way with 

some of the finest peaches you ever 

saw. He was been waiting for

several years, but has struck the

Largest Fish Ever Caught 

In Kentucky Waters 

The largest fish ever caught in 

Kentucky waters was caught last 

Friday eve in Salt River near West 

Point, Kentucky. 

It was gigged by Emmett Crenshaw 

and after 40 long minutes of hard 

fighting and worrying with him, he 

was landed by Steve Simpson (the 

best one in the state on landing big 

fish). 

The fish was an Alligator Garr 

weighing 161 pounds, measuring 7 

feet, 2 inches in length and 37 inches 

in circumference. 

He was skinned and later will be 

remounted and with all probability, 

he will be at the Bullitt County Fair. 

This fish had just devoured a 5 

pound German Carp. 

It was estimated by several that this 

young shark could easily devour a 

child 10 or 12 years old. 

Page 121 

Crenshaw took several pictures of 

the fish which can be had for the 

price of their production.

Last Tuesday was our birthday and 

just as we were feeling a little blue 

and lonely because of the empty 

nest, why, in came some relatives 

and in a few moments, an auto horn 

announced the arrival of others and 

on going to the door, why we knew 

it was one of those lovely 

“surprises”. 

Our dear friends and relatives to the 

number of twenty came with baskets 

and boxes of every thing that makes 

a perfect dinner, from roast and fried 

chicken to the cake and ices. Some 

tables were carried out under the 

trees (we were ordered to keep 

hands off) and the beautiful repast 

served by the merry matrons assisted 

by Mr. Will Beeler, who is a master 

in the art of carving and, by the way, 

Mr. Beeler brought us some of the 

first fruits of the tomato vines. Other 

friends who couldn’t come sent 

tokens of love and so our 

anniversary was indeed a red letter 

day in our experience. To know we 

have friends who cared so much for 

our happiness aroused emotions too 

tender for words. 

Page 122 

This day of happy associations 

passed all too swiftly, but the 

fragrance of its memory will abide 

forever.

teaches. 

Prof. Chas. Hardesty will have 

charge of the school at Mt. 

Washington the coming year. The 

other teachers have not yet been 

selected. 

Misses Carolyn Hackney and 

Kathryn Melton have been 

appointed to teach the coming term 

at Edgewood and Clermont. 

Miss Claudia Duvall, teacher at 

Hobbs, spent the week end with her 

parents at Okolona, Ky. 



Some of our teachers are not 

reporting as they should do to W. O. 

Kulmer, County Truant Officer. The 

new law says: 

At the end of each week the teacher 

shall report to the Attendance Office 

the name and age of every child 

residing in her school district who 

fails to attend school as prescribed 

by law. It is the immediate duty of 

the Attendance Officer to investigate 

such cases. If non-attendance be due 

to neglect or refusal on the part of 

the parent or such person who has 

such child under constant control, it 

becomes the duty of the Attendance 

Officer to report such case or cases 

to the nearest court having 

jurisdiction and it shall be the duty 

of said court immediately to issue 

his warrant against the person 

having control of such child, and 

said court shall try said case as other 

criminal cases are tried. 

Mr. Colvin says: Length of rural 

schools, six months or 120 days. 

Average attendance to these schools, 

18 per cent. Kentucky pays for the 

attendance of every child every day 

in the school year. Heretofore, under 

our lax school attendance laws, the 

legal right to remain ignorant was 

annually granted to thousands of 

children. 

Now you see Mr. Colvin is after us 

and we are after you, so you must 

get your little folks in school 

regularly. 

Bullitt County has a Judge, County 

Atty. and a Sheriff that will do their 

part and no such excuse as “We 

don’t like the teacher” will be 

accepted this year. 

Some 15 to 20 families here and at 

Lebanon Junction paid from $10 to 

Page 124 

$25 last year for not sending their 

children to school. 

The State per capita for the coming 

school term has been fixed at $6.10 

or the same as the past year. 

So many complaints have reached us 

about teachers in rural graded and 

high schools not teaching a full day 

that below we give a letter just 

received. 

Dear Supt. Roby: Six hours actual 

work per day and twenty days per 

month are required of rural teachers 

and of other teachers, whether 

working in rural committees or in 

graded schools. Yours truly, Geo. 

Colvin, Supt. 

Mrs. Laura Lee, widow of the late 

Orlean Lee, died at the home of her 

daughter, Mrs. Chester Hill, last 

Sunday after a very brief illness. 

Mrs. Lee was one of the best old 

ladies to be found in this county 

anywhere and we offer to Mr. and 

Mrs. Hill our sympathy. 

Most of Mrs. Lee’s relatives live at 

Elizabethtown and in Hardin 


Base Ball 

The well known baseball team from 

West Point met their first defeat here 

Sunday before a crowd of some 500 

people. 

Capt. Sed Bell and J. E. Chappell 

have certainly gotten together a 

splendid team and few small towns 

can boast a better team or a more 

agreeable team than ours. 

Shepherdsville - 7, West Point - 1 

A first class city team will be here 

next Sunday and two following 

Sundays, the home boys go to 

Bardstown and West Point.

Miss Mary Lou Osborne 

Miss Mary Lou Osborne died at the 

home of her uncle, William 

Stillwell, on the Pitts Point Road 

near Woodlawn schoolhouse last 

Saturday of Typhoid Fever, after an 

illness of two weeks. 

She was sixteen years of age, and 

was a young lady of much promise. 

Her remains were buried in the 

cemetery at Bullitts Lick on Sunday. 

Thom. Mattingly conducted the 

funeral services in the presence of a 

large number of relatives and friends 

who had gathered to pay their last 

respects to one whose young life had 

ended so suddenly and untimely. To 

Mr. and Mrs. Stillwell and other 

sorrowing relatives, the Pioneer 

News extends its sympathy. 

Revival at Baptist Church 

The revival is continuing into second 

week. Dr. Barksdale, who is 

preaching each night, is Pastor of the 

Calvary Church, Louisville. 

The Choir is doing very efficient 

work each night under the able 

leadership of John Imrie, the Singing 

Evangelist. Mrs. Imrie is proving to 

be a very able Pianist.

Card of Appreciation 

We wish to express our deep 

appreciation to the many kindnesses 

and comfort of so many friends who 

ministered during the illness and 

death and burial of our beloved 

husband and father. Our love and 

gratitude to loving friends freely 

mingles with our deep sorrow and 

mourning for the dear one who is 

dead. Mrs. Richard Moore and

Fight with a Cow 

While engaged in a scientific 

sparring match with Jake Buky’s 

cow, W. C. Herps was painfully 

bored in the right hand. 

The cow had attacked a colored 

child and Willie (Mr. Herps) went to 

the child when the cow went for Mr. 

Herps (Willie). Finally the cow 

became so positive and vicious that 

Mr. Herps had to catch her by the 

horns. He took the cow by the horns 

and held her until he could get a 

chance to retire in good order, his 

face to the cow. 

Mr. Herps says cows should have 

their horns eliminated, whatever that 

Page 125 

means, but Mr. Herps does not state 

where eliminators can be purchased. 

The wound which the cow inflicted 

upon Mr. Herps is healing nice and 

does not in the least affect his ability 

to sleep or enjoy coca cola.

Good Rain 

After one of the worst droughts we 

have had for some time, a good rain 

visited this place last Saturday. 

While most of the early gardens 

were burned up, it did a great deal of 

good and saved late gardens. 

Notice 

Following is the manner in which 

the names of the candidates for the 

Republican Nomination for 

Congress will appear on the ballot at 

the August Primary, 1920. to be held 

on the 7 th of August. For Congress,

Mrs. Monroe Departs 

Mrs. Mary M. Monroe, widow of the 

late J. B. Monroe and a former 

resident of this place, has gone to 

Portland, Oregon to make her home 

with her daughter, Mrs. C. C. 

McCrea, formerly Miss Louise 

Monroe. 

Mrs. Monroe leaves a warm host of 

warm friends here who will miss her 

very much indeed. During the many 

years of her residence here, she took

a leading part in all that was for the 

uplift of the community. She was 

one of the most useful and active 

members of the Christian Church 

and in the sick room, she was truly 

an angel of mercy. No sick person 

failed to receive a visit from Mrs. 

Monroe and she always took some 

delicacy of her own cooking to 

tempt the appetite of the 

convalescent. 

She was a fine cook, splendid 

housekeeper and good neighbor and 

loved to entertain her friends. We 

wish her much happiness in her new 

home and know she will never forget 

the good friends and loves ones left 

back here in Old Kentucky. 

Moves to Louisville 

Howel Smith and family moved to 

the City Thursday. Mr. Smith held a 

responsible position with the Bullitt 

County Bank for over 14 years and 

his many friends are sorry to see Mr. 

Smith and his family leave here. 

Their many friends wish them 

success in their new home. 

Mr. Smith has accepted a position 

with the First National Bank of 

Louisville.

Bohlsen, Shepherdsville. 

Lawyers 

Over in England, lawyers are 

divided into two classes; Barristers 

and Solicitors, but in this county 

they are all, or very nearly, all 

solicitors. The old lawyers used to 

stay in their offices and wait for 

clients, but now clients wait for 

lawyers, for they know they will be 



around. It is a long fall and a far cry 

from the ethics of the old school, but 

just about everybody who is in the 

practice of law “goes after” with 

both feet. 

------------- 

Monday afternoon, quite a crowd of 

our citizens lined Main Street to 

watch a young woman break 

unbreakable mules. She is said to be 

connected with a circus, and she 

certainly rode the part. She rode 

them as they were brought to her, 

sidestepping none, and after she had 

subdued all in sight, she “took up the 

customary collection” and went 

away smiling. That young lady 

should be able to manage Jim 

Hardaway or some other refractory 

bachelor.

regret to see him go, but wish him 

success and happiness in his new

Death of Richard Moore 

Richard Moore, who died at his 

home in the Knobs last week, was in 

his 64 th year. In his early manhood, 

he was married to Miss Dora Stine 

and five children blessed the union. 

William Moore, the eldest child, 

died in infancy, but the other 

children, Mrs. Mamie Funk, Mrs. 

Maud Wooldridge, Fletcher Moore 

and Mrs. Emma Huber, together 

with the widow, survive the departed 

father and husband. 

“Dick” Moore, in many ways, was a 

classic. He was the strongest man in 

his friendships the writer has ever 

known. There was no burden too 

heavy for him to bear for his friends. 

He was an honest, kindly hearted 

neighborly man, true to his friends, 

devoted to his home and loyal to his 

country. He was a Bullitt Countian 

to the manor born and loved the

Knobs as a child loves its mother. 

His entire life was spent there and at 

the close of life’s day, his ashes 

were laid to rest in the beautiful little 

cemetery at Mt. Eden, whence so 

many of his friends and loved ones 

lie asleep. 

Mrs. Laura S. Lee 

Mrs. Laura Selby Lee, aged 76 years 

old, beloved wife of the late Orlean 

Lee, died at her home at Clermont, 

Saturday evening after a lingering 

illness of cancer and other diseases. 

She leaves to mourn her loss one 

daughter, Mrs. Chester Hill, one 

sister, Mrs. Morgan of 

Elizabethtown and five stepchildren. 

Many years ago, she united with the 

Belmont Baptist Church and has 

always been a faithful worker and 

devoted Christian. 

She was laid to rest Monday 

morning in the Lebanon Junction 

Cemetery. 

To the sorrowing friends and 

relatives, we extent our sympathy.

He has a good position with one of

Cowboy Girl Rides 

Just about the greatest fiasco every 

pulled off or perpetrated in this town 

was the exhibition of horseback 

riding given by the cowboy girl last 

Saturday. In the first place, the horse 

was as tame as the old family buggy 

mare and the mule which she led 

was also tame. Before she rode, the 

cowboy girl demanded her money, 

and a collection amounting to about 

ten dollars was taken up. It was a 

good thing it was done, for after 

looking at the rotten exhibition of 

riding, no one was in the humor to 

give anything. Such things should 

not be allowed. There was a big 

crowd in town and it was really 

amusing to see the people run from 

point to point to watch - nothing but 

a little rotten riding. The woman is 

said to belong to the circus which 

exhibited at Bardstown. She should 

remain with the circus, for she is no 

account in such exhibitions as she 

gave here, and people should not 

contribute to such miserable 

creatures. It encourages people who 

should be at work. If this so called 

wonderful rider is as good as she 

professes to be, she would not have 

to go upon the streets of small towns 

to earn a living. She could have a 

permanent place with some big 

circus. We hope we have seen the 

last of her. If she comes back, she 

should not be allowed to fool the 

people any more.

Death 

Miss Lou Osborne, niece of Mr. and 

Mrs. Will Stillwell died July 24 th 

after a long illness and careful 

nursing of typhoid fever. God in His 

infinite wisdom called her home. 

She was a member of the Bullitts 

Lick Baptist Church. 

Lou always carried a smiling face 

and will be missed by all who knew 

her. 

She leaves one brother and lots of 

near relatives and friends to mourn 

her loss. 

Let us look to God for assistance to 

bear this sorrow of our loved one. 


Will Stillwell and family extend lots 

of sympathy in their great sorrow.

Mrs. Laura Selby Lee 

In the death on Saturday evening, 

July 24 th , 1920, of Mrs. Laura Lee, 

there went out into the unknown 

beyond, one of the most selfsacrificing 

and truly Christian lives 

that has ever been known in this 

county. 

Mrs. Lee passed away at the home of 

her daughter and only child, Mrs. 

Chester Hill at Chapeze. 

She was born on Nov. 30, 1843, near 

Elizabethtown, was married in 1880 

to Mr. Orleans Lee, of Belmont, 

where she lived for almost forty 

years. 

After the death of her husband, she 

remained at the old homeplace, 

mother and daughter together, whose 

devotion for each other knew no 

bounds. After her daughter grew up, 

Page 132 

married and had a home of her own, 

mother went with her. 

The death of Mrs. Lee came as a 

great shock to her daughter and 

friends, as she had been ill for some 

months past, but recently showed 

marked improvement and every hope 

was entertained for her recovery. 

She first became violently ill at the 

home of Mrs. Wm. Raney at 

Lebanon Junction where she had 

gone for a visit a short time prior to 

her death. She was taken home at 

once and although everything was 

done to relieve her, she continued to 

grow alarmingly worse and from 

Wednesday till Saturday when death 

came, was unable to receive medical 

a ssistance, lapsed into 

unconsciousness and remained so to 

the end. 

Of a once happy family, only one 

sister, Mrs. Bettie Morgan, of 

Elizabethtown, survives. Mrs. 

Morgan was ill and could not be at 

her sister’s bedside. 

Mrs. Lee had a large acquaintance. 

A good, kind friend and neighbor, 

and will be sadly missed, but all that 

mortal hands could do was done to 

save her. God chose otherwise, and 

her spirit took its flight from the 

sinful world to the beautiful realms 

of life. 

May His grace sustain the daughter 

a few more years when she, too, will 

cross over and join her dear mother 

where partings are no more. 

The funeral took place on Monday 

morning, July 26, from the Belmont 

Baptist Church, of which she was a 

member. It was one of the largest 

ever held here. 

Services conducted by the pastor, 

Rev. Mr. Owen, were short

appropriate and most impressive 

after which the remains were 

tenderly away and laid to rest in 

Lebanon Junction cemetery beside 

those of her husband. 

In death, they are united as in the 

memory here of friends and 

companions they dwell together. 

Her paths were the paths of peace 

and gentleness. Her work finished, 

her journey ended, like a child, she 

closed her eyes in sleep. 


We want to thank the many friends 

for their many kindnesses and help 

to us in our great sorrow and loss of 

Lou. Mr. and Mrs. Will Stillwell 

and family. 



The following teachers took the

Mr. W. O. Kulmer, who is attending 

the state meeting of county school 

truant officers this week, writes that 

he is much pleased with the meeting 

which is attended by truant officers 

from the entire state. 

The following schools began their 

fall term Monday, August 2.

Cedar Glades - Sylvia Phelps,

teacher at Woodsdale, near Lotus, 

will give an ice cream supper near 

her school, Aug. 14, while Miss 

Lillie Monroe will give a similar 

entertainment on the same night at 

Cane Run, near Lebanon Junction. 

The past year the school census in 

Bullitt County was 2714. The total 

number of all children that enrolled 

in all schools last year was 2,267. 

Pretty good, don’t you think. But 

listen, only 1521 of those children 

attended regularly, so the new truant 

law will be required to look after 

that ½ of the 746 splendid boys and 

girls that only enrolled, but never 

attended after that. Etc, Etc

Truck Train Coming 

Advance committee representing the 

Louisville Truck Dealers 

Association is making arrangements 

for the visit of the truck train 

scheduled to come on August 

21,1920. 

This motorcade is visiting the 

territory surrounding Louisville for 

the purpose of demonstrating the 

utility of the motor truck in the farm 

field. No sales will be made and no 

business will be solicited while on 

Page 133 

this tour, as it is made for purely 

educational purposes. 

It is a known fact that the pneumatic 

tired truck will accomplish what it 

takes four teams of horses to do, and 

that the truck does not consume 

anything unless it works, while it 

takes the product of five acres to 

maintain each horse, regardless of 

whether it works or not. - Etc. 

A local committee consisting of 

Judge Bradberry, H. H. Combs, C. S. 

Morrison, Frank Goldsmith, O. W. 

Pearl, O. P. Means, W. T. Hill and 

T. C. Carroll will handle the details 

in connection with the reception of 

the modern caravan. 

Preaching 

Rev. C. C. Lloyd will begin a series 

of meetings at the Shepherdsville 

Christian Church on Sunday, Aug. 

22. Everybody come out and hear 

him. 

Death - Thomas L. Crandell 

Reverend Thomas L. Crandell, 

pastor of the Methodist Churches at 

Lebanon Junction and 

Shepherdsville, died at his home, 

1064 Lynnhurst Avenue, Louisville, 

last Friday afternoon after a brief 

illness. 

“Brother” Crandell, was he was so 

affectionately called by almost 

everyone who knew him, was one of 

the oldest ministers in the Louisville 

Conference. He was been a minister 

for forty years. 

During his ministry, he assisted in 

building thirteen churches, and it 

was one of the fondest dreams of his 

life to complete the church at 

Lebanon Junction and bring the 

number to fourteen.

He was born in Hardin County, 

Kentucky in 1851, where he spent 

his boyhood. Later on, he went to 

Louisville, where much of his life 

was spent, and where he did much 

good, hard work for his Master. This 

was Brother Crandell’s second year 

on this circuit, and it is safe to say he 

would have been returned at the next 

Conference, had he lived. No one 

doubted Brother Crandell’s 

Christianity. He was a friend to 

everybody, Methodist, Baptist, 

Catholic, Presbyterian, Christian, 

Episcopalian, Unitarian and pagan. 

He was friend to all mankind and 

everybody liked him. 

He was a splendid preacher, 

forceful, eloquent and convincing, 

possessing much power and logic. 

He had all the wit of an Irishman, 

and loved a clean wholesome joke as 

well as any man. Brother Crandell 

was regarded as one of the best 

businessmen in the Louisville 

Conference. He looked after the 

financial end in way which many 

ministers cannot grasp and as a 

result, his collections were always in 

full. 

Brother Crandell was a many sided 

man, and one of his most pleasing 

gifts, if we may so term it, was his 

fondness for children and his ability 

to please and charm children. He 

made friends with all of them. 

He leaves as immediate survivors, 

his widow, Mrs. Bunnie Crandell, of 

Louisville, one son, Dr. L. A. 

Crandell, of Princeton, W.Va., two 

brothers and one sister. 

In uprightness of daily walk, 

unyielding fidelity to his God, love 

for fellow man and usefulness to 

those with whom he traveled the 

great highway of life, we shall not 

soon again look upon the equal of 



Thomas L. Crandell. Peace to his 

ashes and sweet be his well earned 

rest. 

Dissolution Sale 

In order to dissolve the partnership 

in Main Street Garage property, all

and Second Street. Etc. O. W. Pearl, 

J. S. Bell. 

Circuit Court 

The August term of the Bullitt 

Circuit court will end this week after 

a quite busy term. Judge 

McCandless has demonstrated in a 

marked degree, his eminent fitness 

for the office of Circuit judge. He is 

as fair as a judge can be, is well 

versed in the law, courteous and 

affable toward attorneys, witnesses 

and litigants and hurries court 

proceedings along just as much as 

possible, consistent with the due 

administration of justice. We do not 

go without the bounds of truth when 

we say that Judge McCandless is 

one of the best circuit judges in 

Kentucky and should he announce 

for another term, (and we trust he 

will) he will have no opposition for 

it will be of no use for any man in 

this district to oppose him. 

Shepherdsville Gains 

Shepherdsville had in 1909, 277 and 

in 1910, 318 and in 1920 has 520, 

which was a gain of 202 in ten years. 

Shepherdsville is the second oldest 

town in the state and is nearly 50 

years older than Louisville and we 

have heard old men say that in 1820, 

it was a population of nearly 2,000. 

Lebanon Junction, which had a 

population in 1900 of 599, and in 

1910 a population of 807, now has 

Page 134 

882, which was a gain of 75 in the 

last ten years. 

At Shepherdsville and Lebanon 

Junction, nearly as many people live 

outside of the town limit and are not 

included in the population of the 

town.

J. Lewis Williams 

Since coming to the office of 

Commonwealth’s Attorney, J. Lewis 

Williams, has made himself 

immensely popular with all classes. 

To begin with, Lewis is one of the 

best, most social fellows on earth. Is 

a good official, industrious, studious, 

attentive to his office, and always 

anxious to see that justice is done. 

He is a fine lawyer, splendid speaker 

and is fine a good prosecutor. When 

he believes a man is guilty of a 

heinous crime, he prosecutes ably 

and fearlessly, but if he knows it, no 

innocent person is prosecuted in his 

court. Lewis Williams is a self-made 

man, and people are beginning to 

awaken to the fact that he had made 

a very good job of it. Up in this end 

of the district, the people are 

beginning to form a true and accute 

(sic) estimate of J. Lewis Williams 

and if he stands for reelection, it 

goes without saying that he will get 

a big vote in Bullitt. He deserves an 

endorsement.

Marriages 

Kuhn - Bridwell 

Miss Evelyn Kuhn and Mr. C. Porter 

Bridwell were married Wednesday , 

August 18 th in Shepherdsville, 

Kentucky. Rev. Carter Luton 

officiated. Miss Kuhn is the 

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. 

Kuhn of Buffalo, New York. The 

Kuhn family once lived here, but left 

about two years ago for their present 

home. 

Mrs. Bridwell is a beautiful and 

highly accomplished young woman 

and during her residence here made 

many warm friends who will be 

charmed to welcome her back as a 

permanent resident of our town. 

Mr. Bridwell is the son of the late 

Samuel Bridwell and is one of our 

most highly respected young men. 

He is an overseas veteran, having 

been stationed in Germany for some 

time. He is prominent in Masonic 

circles and is a favorite in social 

circles. 

For some time, it has been suspected 

that Dan Cupid was carrying some 

important messages between this 

happy young couple and people 

wondered and guessed when the 

happy day would dawn, but no one 

knew and Porter and his fair young 

sweetheart kept their secret well and 

so when the day finally came, it 

caught all the gossip and news 

dealers off guard. But all the world 

loves a lover, and we “all” love 

Porter and his wife and everybody is 

Page 143 

wishing them a long, long life of 

unalloyed happiness and few 

troubles as they make their way 

along life’s great highway.

Mr. Smith is a son of Mr. and Mrs. 

J. W. Smith, of Brooks and a popular

last week in Louisville at the 

Broadway Methodist Church to Mr.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs. 

Lena Roby Davis, formerly of 

Owensboro, Ky. and is a beautiful 

young lady. She is well known and 

well liked in the east section of this

Miss Meta Riley Cooper gave an ice 

cream supper at her school house 

August 14, which netted her about 

$100.00. The proceeds will be used 

to equip the school with proper 

furnishings and to start a library. 

The exciting feature of the evening 

was a beauty contest, Miss Ruth 

Thornsberry winning the prize of a 

box of candy, after much excitement 

over voting. The box candy, I’m 

told, brought about $90.00. Our 

personal opinion about these 

contests in school affairs has been 

expressed before, so we only ask, 

“Do the ends justify the means?” 

Two ministers who made an 

unexpected call at Beech Grove 

school recently told me Miss Meta 

Cooper has the best drilled pupils 

they ever way in a country school. 

The picnic at Cherokee Park by and 

for the Editorial Staff of the 

Jeffersonian was a most enjoyable 

affair. It was held at Gaulbert 

Pavilion near Big Rock, the most 

beautiful park and was attended by a 

large crowd of correspondents and 

their friends. A basket dinner was 

served at 1 o’clock on the gallery of 

the pavilion and at 3 p.m., a program 

was rendered. In the absence of the 

editor, Mr. Hummell, who was ill, 

the Associate Editor, Mr. Jones 

presided with grace and dignity. Mr. 

Marriman, county agent, spoke on 

encouraging the “Community Spirit” 

and papers by Mrs. Benegor on tact 

in Gathering News; by Mrs. 

Holsclaw on Brevity in the news 

letter; by Mrs. ---- on Why the 

Jeffersonian should be in every 

home and a beautiful poem by Miss 

Page 144 

Lula Barnes was read by Miss 

Weibel. Ice cream and cake provided 

by the editor was served during 

which Miss Stutz rendered music 

and Miss Abby Risinger recited. 

Those who went on the street cars 

were met at the entrance by motor 

cars and returned in the afternoon. A 

severe storm coming up kept us later 

than usual. Long live the editor of 

the Jeffersonian. 

Colored Boy Scouts 

The Colored Boy Scouts of 

Louisville have been in camp near 

the Fair Grounds for a week. About 

40 boys and men were in camp and 

the regular Boy Scout program was 

carried out in detail. The boys were 

a courteous and well behaved bunch 

of fellows and showed the splendid 

benefits of their training as Boy 

Scouts. 

Special interest attaches to this camp 

because of the fact that it was the 

first Colored Boy Scot camp held in 

the United States. The White Boy 

Scouts have been having camps for 

several years. The Boy Scout 

organization in Louisville is getting 

to be a strong one, having in its 

membership about 2,000 white and 

colored boys. The organization 

numbers about a half a million in the 

United States and is a great power 

for good in the training of future 

citizens. 

The boys were the guests of the 

Bullitt County Fair one afternoon 

and enjoyed themselves immensely. 

The Boy Scout organization, through 

Messrs A. T. Benson and R. M. 

Wheat, of the executive staff and the 

boys themselves expressed deep 

appreciation to Mr. H. D. Shaffer, 

President and Mr. J. W. Barrall, 

Secretary, and the Board of

Directors for the courtesies 

extended. 

Slay the weeds

Prices Coming Down 

We see some of the high priced 

goods are coming down. Sugar is 

selling in Louisville at $16.00 per 

100 pounds. Clothing is being 

advertised at about one half price. 

Coal dropped $4 per ton. It can come 

down more and still be too high.

Good Work 

Last Monday, a horse belonging to 

Mrs. Maggie Welch got its foot 

tangled in a barbed wire fence above 

town and severed an artery. A 

couple of the colored boy scouts 

who are encamped back of the Fair 

Grounds, under the charge of R. M. 

Wheat, happened along, extricated 

the animal, applied tourniquets to 

the bleeding limb and applied first 

aid in a very skillful manner, after 

which they turned the case over to 

Dr. Smith. 

Page 146 

This is only one branch of many in 

which the boy scouts are trained and 

the manner in which these lads 

performed is certainly commendable 

and credit to their instructors.

of meetings at the Methodist 

Church. A preacher and singer will 

assist in the services. 

The all day service at the Methodist 

Church last Wednesday was very 

much enjoyed by those present, but 

the Society was disappointed that so 

many of our church women fail to 

come. Miss Cannon, deaconess and 

head resident of the Wesley House, 

gave a splendid talk in the afternoon 

on the work she is engaged in and 

gave us a dim idea of the 

responsibilities of her position. 

Next week, beginning Monday 

afternoon, the week of prayer will 

begin and continue through the 

week. At this time, we hope to have 

with us for a part of the time, our

being quietly married. Onion 

Nunnelly accompanied them. The

Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bleemel on the 

Shepherdsville Road. Both are 

popular in the younger set. 

Poem 

In loving memory of my dear 

husband, W. L. Hall, who died Nov. 

1, 1919. Signed, Edna 

An Aged Democrat 

Over at Belmont, Grandma Skaggs 

case her first vote and it went right 

under the rooster. She is 98 years of 

age, and while she is rather young to 

be dabbling in politics, we 

understand that she was just as 

deliberate and steady as some of the 

older ladies. Three cheers for 

Grandma Skaggs and long may she 

live to vote for principle and justice 

as against deception and disloyalty. 

Grandmother Skaggs is old and 

infirm and could not go upon the 

stump and explain her cause as well 

as some men, but in her vote last 

Tuesday, she showed more real 

Americanism that the so called great 

leaders of the Republican Party. 


I wish to thank the many friends and 

neighbors for the kindness and 

favors shown me during the sickness 

and death of my sister, Mrs. Joe

Tucker. Signed, Mrs. Maggie 

Tucker.

Well, just come and see our new 

bridge and the splendid fills on 

either side. Then, open your purse 

and give liberally to pay for it. 

The recent entertainment at Hebron 

school was ideal in every way, 

except the young man present were 

not as liberal as might have been 

expected. However, a ??? sum was 

realized and everybody had a good 

time. Mr. V. A. Beam, of the Willys 

Electric Light Co. brought a dynamo 

and strung the building and grounds 

with brilliant lights which 

contributed much to the occasion. 

Prof. Sanders, as auctioneer, was 

fine, and there was little room for 

anything but praise the teachers and 

pupils. The cakes and pies 

contributed by patrons and friends 

were perfect in their various types 

and didn’t bring their full value. Let 

us have more occasions like these. 

Mr. J. W. Ferrill, of South Park, who 

is hauling logs from Mr. Hackney’s 

farm, lost a valuable horse by it ..... 

the culvert near McKen??? farm and 

fracturing a leg. This place has been 

a menace for a long while and 

should have been repaired long ago, 

or at least had a danger signal 

placed. There are two holes in the 

road near here.

with his uncle, George Bailey. 

Paul Holsclaw spend a week end in

and will be missed. As long as she 

could talk, she told the ones who 

were around her bedside not to cry. 

Christ says, “Suffer little children 

and forbid them not to come unto 

me; for of such is the kingdom of 

heaven.” We sympathize with the 

sorrowing ones. We know there are 

broken hearts God along can heal.

Bullitt’s Big Peach Crop 

The fruit growers of Bullitt County 

are just finishing up the Elberta crop 

of peaches which was the largest 

here in years. Eleven cars of Elbertas 

were loaded at Brooks and more 

than that many more were loaded at 

Shepherdsville besides several 

thousand bushels were put on the 

Louisville market. 

The peaches this year were very fine 

and brought fancy prices. Shippers 

paid at the cars $2.50 per bushel, but 

what was put on the Louisville 

market brought from $2.50 to $4.00 

per bushel. 



This year has been a good year for 

the fruit growers and has brought 

thousands of dollars in the county.

State Fair 

From all indications, you will have 

to take a bank roll if you should go 

to the State Fair this year. They will 

charge you 50 cents for each 

automobile that goes in the gate; 75 

cents for each person and if you 

want to go in the grandstand, it will 

cost you another $1.00, so if you go, 

be sure to take your bank roll and if 

you take that, if you don’t watch out, 

Page 153 

some pickpocket crooks will take it. 

The chances are if you do, you will 

be about $25 worse off.

Mr. Hines, from Brooks school, is 

the first parent this year to have a 

fine to pay for not sending his 

children to school. 

W. O. Kulmer, the County 

Attendance Officer, went to see this 

man and tried to get him to promise 

to send to that school, but he refused 

to start them at once but insisted that 

Page 156 

the law was a “farce”. Later, he was 

arrested and brought here by Sheriff 

Burr Harris and last Friday Judge 

Bradbury and T. C. Carroll read to 

him the new law and he pled guilty 

and paid his fine. 

The two children, 7 and 10, started 

to school Monday. 

The County School Board met here

Prizes for the highest average in the 

1920 county diploma class went to 

Miss Minnie May Combs for leading 

the January class and to Miss Mary 

Dell Barnes for finishing first in 

May. 

The Bullitt County teachers voted 

unanimously to co-operate with the 

county community for the purpose of 

raising funds to erect a suitable

The following committee was 

appointed to represent the teachers 

in the coming drive: Katherine

Charles Fillmore Troutman 

Mr. Charles Fillmore Troutman, one 

of our best and best know men, died 

at his home here last Saturday 

morning at 1:30 after an illness of 

more than one year. The cause of his 

death was cerebral hemorrhages. 

After brief but touching service at 

the Methodist Church, conducted by 

Rev. Carter Luton, the remains were 

taken to Louisville and buried in 

Cave Hill Cemetery by the Masonic 

Lodge of this place, of which the 

deceased was a Past Master and was 

for many years secretary. 

Surviving Mr. Troutman are his 

widow, Mrs. Ada B. Troutman, two 

sons, Woodford B. Troutman and C. 

F. Troutman Jr, one brother, R. L. 

Troutman, and three sisters, Mrs. 

Mary Meredith, Mrs Emma Combs 

and Mrs. Ida Carroll, all of this 

place. 

Charles Fillmore Troutman was born 

in Bullitt County, Kentucky, on the 

6 th day of June, 1856, the son of 

Michael and Sophia Troutman. He 

was for many years the junior 

member of the well known firm of 

Troutman Brothers, of this place, 

and for many years was the Cashier 

of the Bullitt County Bank. On 

October 6 th , 1892, he was married to 

Miss Ada Bates, daughter of the late 

Dr. D. M. Bates, whose good name 

for years a household word in Bullitt 

County. To this union were born 

three sons, two of whom survive 

him. The other and eldest son, 

Millard Troutman, sleeps “over 

there” in France, having lost his life 

in the great World War. There was 

not more loyal man than “Phil” 



Troutman, nor one with more 

patriotism, and from the very 

moment our country entered that 

struggle, his heart and sympathies 

were with the entente allies. With a 

self abnegation which may have 

been equaled but never surpassed, he 

advised his eldest son, the idol of the 

home, to enlist in the cause of 

Liberty for all mankind and with 

breaking heart, blessed his boy and 

sent him away to become a solder in 

his country’s cause. When the sad 

news was flashed back that Millard 

Troutman had been killed in battle, 

Phil Troutman was a heart-broken 

man. His heart was set upon 

welcoming back his boy - his boy 

who had fought so bravely and 

gloriously, and this was denied him, 

there was nothing ahead but heart 

broken sorrow and death. A few 

months after the news of his son’s 

death, he received a paralytic stroke 

and was a helpless man until his 

death. There is much to be said in 

praise of Phil Troutman. He was one 

of the most generous men in Bullitt 

County. He was a public spirited 

man and above all, a home loving 

man. He was at all times solicitous 

for his friends and ready to lend a 

helping hand. 

When the writer’s father died, and 

he was preparing to go back to the 

old home and comfort his mother, 

Phil Troutman came to him and said, 

“ I do not know condition your 

finances are in, but when you go 

home, just draw your check for what 

you need and you haven’t the funds 

in bank sufficient to meet the check, 

I’ll see that it is honored.” That was 

characteristic of the man; he was a 

friend under all conditions. His 

whole life was spent here in Bullitt 

County where he first saw the light 

of day. He was closely identified 

Page 157 

with everything which sought to 

better his town and county and gave 

liberally of his time and money to all 

worthy causes. The crowd which 

filled the Methodist Church to over 

flowing and the many beautiful 

floral tributes of loving friends, fully 

attested the high esteem in which he 

was held. Several years ago, he 

became a member of the Methodist 

Church and died with a Christian’s 

faith. Somewhere in that better land, 

beyond the chilly tides of death’s 

cold stream - somewhere beyond the 

ken of mortal ones, father and son 

have been reunited - somewhere in 

that land not made of hands, spirits 

of the heroic son and heart broken 

father await in the eternal sunshine 

of Paradise the coming of the loved 

ones left behind them. 

Death - Anna Mary Tatro 

Mrs Anna Mary Tatro, wife of A. O. 

Tatro, aged 54 years, died at her 

home in Lebanon Junction Monday 

evening. She had not been sick but a 

short time. She leaves a husband, 2 

daughters and 2 sons. Funeral 

services were held Tuesday at 11 

a.m. Burial in the Lebanon Junction 

Cemetery. 

Death - Mrs Emma Saunders 

Mrs. Emma Saunders, widow of the 

late Dr. E. Miles Saunders, died at 

her home near Zoneton, Tuesday 

night, Sept. 7, aged 74 years. Funeral 

services were held Thursday. Burial 

at Hebron Cemetery. 

Death - Mrs. Minerva J. Eddy 

Mrs. Minerva J. Eddy died at 

Elizabethtown in Hardin County, 

August 29, 1920 of acute colic. She 

was sick about twelve hours. She 

was seventy four years old and was 

a member of the Methodist Church 

of Elizabethtown.

She is survived by two daughters, 

Mrs. Sophia Stovall of 

Shepherdsville and Mrs. Nannie B. 

Thompson of Louisville.

Moved to City 

Prof. S. E. Hancock and family 

moved to Louisville last week and in 

the future will make that city their 

home. The loss of the Hancock 

family is keenly felt by the good 

people of our community. They have 

lived here for many years and were 

among the very best people of our 

county. Always for the right and 

always on the side of the law and 

order, church going, God-fearing 

people, they will be missed by our 

people. Prof. Hancock will continue 

to teach his school at Fayette, Ky 

and Miss Edith Hancock will 

continue to come back to teach her 

music class. We wish Prof. Hancock 

and his splendid family the very best 

there is in life and should they ever 

conclude to come back this way to 

live, they will meet with a warm 

welcome.

Kills Fine Sheep 



Dogs got in a fine flock of sheep of 

John Summers at Gap in Knob 

Sunday night and killed two sheep 

and crippled several more. The dog 

killer should get busy as we have too 

many worthless dogs and about one 

out of every five will have a tag on. 

If you have dog and he is not worth 

putting a tag on, kill it or the dog 

killer should kill it.

Jim Hardaway has been criticizing 

the way the baby was handled in the 

play last week. He says it looks as if 

the players lacked experience. Well, 

Jim has been playing with his 

brother, Jess’s baby so long that he 

considers himself competent to raise 

a child, but shucks, wouldn’t you 

like to see Jim administering castoria 

and catnip tea and other soothing 

lotions to a baby who was simply 

shaking the rafters loose with it’s 

yells? Of course, after Jim has 

helped raise a family of children, he 

will be in a position to say when a 

doll baby has been properly handled, 

but at this juncture, we consider him 

one of the rankest of amateurs. 

Miss Pearl Rush has gone to 

Lewisport, where she will teach 

school for nine long dreary months. 

They may not be long or dreary so 

far as she is concerned, but to a 

certain young gentleman in this 

burg, the time will drag as heavily as 

the head line of a big sein. (sic) In 

the meantime, Jack will be right in 

town with his pockets full of rocks. 

Misses Deane, Bratcher and 

Saunders will board with Mrs. Edith 

Cochran while here. A casual glance 

convinces us that we have a splendid 

faculty. When the last one was 

broken up, it seemed as Prof. Jack 

would be unable to get another one, 

but he has gotten together another, 

which looks mighty good to us. 

Here’s to our school and its teachers. 

Let’s give them our undivided 

support and they will give us their 

best efforts. Let’s encourage them in 

every way possible, and we shall get 

out of our school all that we put into 

it. It is the big institution in our 

community and deserves the support 

of everybody. There is just one Jack 

Saunders and we have him. Let’s aid 

him and his corps of splendid

teachers all we can and we shall not 

regret it. 

Mrs. Maggie Sanders, meaning Mrs. 

Jack Sanders, of course, is surely 

deserving of much praise for the 

admirable manner in which she 

trained and taught her actors and 

actresses for the play last Friday 

night. She had all sorts of difficulties 

to overcome and almost everything 

to contend with, but she did all was 

necessary and more and no one was 

more pleased with the success of the 

play than she. She is a most capable 

little woman and you just cannot 

lose her. At the organ or piano in 

church, in the chapter room, sick 

room in the choir - anywhere, 

everywhere, she is there ready and 

capable of doing her full share in the 

best manner possible.

and was about 3-1/2 inches thick.

From old Bullitt County Friend 

J. W. Barrall, Dear Sir: 

I am sending you check for your 

paper and the Louisville Times. We 

all look for the News for it is just 

like a letter from home. 

Well, Jim, I have caught fish here 

until it looked like a shame to pull 

them out of the water, but I cannot 

quit fishing. I go out with pole and 

line and in 2 or 3 hours catch 

anyway from 50 pounds to 100 

pounds. 

I started a small grocery store Dec. 

2, 1919. I have been gaining trade 

ever since. In July and August, my 

business run about the same as it did 

in Shepherdsville when it was at its 

best. 

I see Jeff has gone into the auto 

business. Tell him to write and let 

me know how he likes the business. 

Tell everybody howdy. With best 

wishes to you and family, Yours 

truly, J. B. Buky. 

Engle - Cundiff

Miss Blanche G. Engle and Mr. 

Clayford L. Cundiff were married in 

Louisville Thursday. 

The bride is a successful young 

teacher of this county and is the 

daughter of J. S. Engle, a prominent 

citizen of Belmont. 

The groom is the son of G. W. 

Cundiff, of near Belmont. He is one 

of Bullitt County’s best young men. 

Both were very popular in their 

home communities and their many 

friends extend their wishes for 

success and happiness. 

Work on Streets 

For several weeks, the Town Board 

have been putting rock on the streets 

patching up the worst holes which is 

a good move as the streets were in 

need of repair. We hope they will 

keep the good work going until the 

streets are in good order. 

A trip to Mammoth Cave 

A crown chaperoned by Dr. and 

Mrs. L. S. Settle started one morning 

in a large truck from Mt. 

Washington. We started at about 6 

o’clock and traveled all day. 

Although the means of traveling was 

rather rough, none of us can say 

anything except that we enjoyed the 

trip immensely. 

The crowd consisted of young 

people, chiefly, but a few older ones 

were along. Our driver was Harold 

Barnes, commonly called Jack and 

one of the most skillful drivers to be 

found, also the jolliest and most bighearted 

fellow ever. 

The first town of any consequence 

that greeted us was Bardstown. 

While on the outskirts of that town, 

we got a splendid view of Nazareth. 



We took special notice of St. 

Joseph’s Church. The exterior the 

building is beautiful and we were 

told that the interior far surpasses it. 

A French king, Louis Phillippe, was 

protected by this church ???? 

European war and when he regained 

his throne, he presented it some 

grand ?? paintings, then valued at 

$10000? each and a most wonderful 

bell, which on a still summer’s day, 

can be heard over the surrounding 

country, a distance of ten miles. 

The next town we came to was 

Balltown, the old home of many 

moonshiners, then New Haven and 

between these two towns were the 

peaceful Knobs. The scenery 

through there was beautiful. Some of 

the cone shaped hills were so 

arranged as to resemble stair steps 

and there were the broad valleys 

below and the houses sheltered at 

the foot of the hills. 

Beyond New Haven was 

Athertonville, where John Barley 

Corn was once quite prominent, but 

he holds sway there no longer. His 

doors were locked and his house was 

indeed still. 

The next point of interest was 

Muldraugh’s Hill. The road leading 

to the top is long and wide, winding 

and sheltered by the over hanging 

branches of the many trees on the 

hillside, making a beautiful drive. It 

was two and one half miles long. 

Upon nearing the top, one can look 

far down into the valley below, 

where the houses have diminished to 

less than half their actual size and 

the trees to bushes. We noticed the 

old road almost straight up and 

down, over which many a sturdy 

Kentuckian has gone in his big 

wagon drawn by strong oxen. 

Page 166 

Who could help comparing the old 

way with the new? When I recall 

some of the innumerous 

disadvantages with which our late 

ancestors had to contend, I thought 

how blessed we are and still not 

content. Yet, we can not change our 

human nature. If all were perfectly 

satisfied here on earth, what need 

would there be of heaven? 

About noon, we passed through 

Hodgenville and stopped for lunch a 

few miles beyond there, near a nice 

farmhouse. 

After leaving Hodgenville, we 

passed through no real town until we 

reached Munfordsville, a very nice 

town on the fertile banks of Green 

River. Over the river is stretched an 

iron bridge of very unusual length 

and before crossing it, we were 

obliged to stop and pay toll. The 

man who keeps the toll gate 

informed us that we not so very far 

from Cave City and “The Mammoth 

Cave is about twelve miles from 

that”. Does not that sound something 

like we have heard of the Green 

River country? However, all the 

strangers we met were very polite 

and friendly. 

We passed on the outskirts of Horse 

Cave, an ordinary sized, busylooking 

town and from there into 

Cave City. Before we reached Cave 

City, we met a jolly bunch of rural 

school children on their way home. 

Being a teacher myself, they were a 

pleasant sight to see. 

We soon left Cave City and just as 

the sun was sinking through the 

trees, we drove into Mammoth Cave 

Hotel grounds with glad spirits and 

tired bodies. 

There were many people at the Cave 

walking about or sitting on the hotel.

The accommodations there are very 

good, a good hotel run by white 

people and a splendid dining room 

managed entirely by negroes. 

It was not long after supper until 

time to take route 2 through the 

cave. There are four routes. We were 

very eager for it. The girls dressed in 

middies and bloomers was necessary 

and at 7:30 all started to the cave. 

We descended a very long hill, the 

entrance being at the bottom. We 

walked two abreast, each couple 

carrying a light???. Unlike one 

woman, we didn’t wish to wait until 

daylight so no light would be 

needed. 

I shall not even think of describing 

Mammoth Cave in detail. It would 

take too much space in the Pioneer 

News and we do not want to be that 

selfish. 

The mouth of the cave is wonderful, 

being as large as the side of a house. 

The cave was discovered in 1802 by 

a man named Hutchens chasing a 

bear. 

We noticed, not far from the 

entrance, the saltpeter pipes which 

were used in the making of powder 

in the War of 1812. 

There was a little chamber all to 

itself called Olive’s Bower. It 

contained a very large stalasctite 

(sic) growth at least a foot in 

diameter. It was alive, being fed by 

the dropping water, an inch forming 

each century. 

In one long avenue were a number of 

stone rooms, called Consumptive’s 

Cabins. Fourteen consumptives were 

taken there for their health. One died 

after being there a short time and the 

others died soon after being 

removed. 



No one who saw the Star Chamber 

could ever forget it. We sat down on 

comfortable benches, extinguished 

our lights while the guide went 

below into a pit, leaving us in total 

darkness. Darkness in the cave is 

real darkness, morning, noon and 

night. The reflection of the guide’s 

light on the ceiling, which was 

composed of sulphate of soda, made 

it appear to us that we were sitting 

between two great converging walls, 

looking through the top opening at a 

cloudless, starlit night sky, a comet 

could be discerned among the stars. 

The guide requested us to be 

perfectly still and wait for the 

sunrise, whereupon he kept going 

further away from us, until the rays 

of his lantern were barely visible and 

he was lost to our view. When all 

was quiet and still, we heard faintly 

the crowing of a cock. Then 

following, the bleating of a lamb, the 

bawling of a calf calling its mother, 

the trotting of a horse, a farmer 

calling his dog, which seems to 

come barking and bounding anxious 

to do its master’s bidding, the 

meowing of the house cat for his 

morning greetings, ending with a 

few cross spats at the dog. All this 

time, the light was gradually 

approaching us and finally came into 

full view, just as the sun bursts upon 

us from behind a hill at daybreak. 

Other interesting things were the 

Methodist Church, the Water Clock, 

which has ticked out many a long 

century and the Devil’s Cooling 

Pool just below Joseph’s Pit. The 

guide refused to tell the name of the 

pool until all the ladies had a drink. 

Perhaps he acted wisely. 

We came out about eleven o’clock, 

tired, but full of pure thoughts about 

the great work of nature. 

Page 167 

We awoke the next morning, 

refreshed and ready for route 1. We 

started at 9 o’clock. There were so 

many very interesting things to do 

on this route, I do not know which to 

mention. 

Skin Head Alley was rather hard on 

the tall folks, they having to walk for 

some distance in an uncomfortable, 

stooped position to keep from 

actually skinning their heads. While 

Fat Man’s Misery was a trial to stout 

ones, it was narrow winding path 

between high bulging rock. It was 

about a quarter of a mile long. 

We crossed the River Styx and 

Purgatory Slough. These were black, 

somber, ugly looking pits of water, 

thirty feet deep. We crossed on a 

bridge. Just below here was Echo 

River. We took a pleasant row up the 

stream singing all the while. We 

were quiet when the guide made 

some odd sound and oh, the echo 

was heavenly. It sounded like music. 

Who would not loved to have heard 

Jenny Lind when she sang on that 

river? 

The Echo River is black water from 

Green River. It is thirty feet deep 

and 360 feet below the surface of the 

earth. 

After disembarking from our flat 

boats, we went to the Mammoth 

Dome, which is 300 feet from top to 

bottom. The great columns there 

appeared to have been fashioned by 

man, but the skillful hand of nature 

did it all. 

Somewhere in this vicinity, before 

reaching the River, is the 

Scotchman’s Trap. It is a huge rock, 

about a foot thick, leaning against 

the wall, and threatening to fall any 

minute. One must stoop and pass 

under before getting through here. A

certain Scotchman refused to do so, 

lest the rock fall and pen him in on 

the other side. Hence, the name. 

We climbed the famous Corkscrew, 

retraced a little and once more 

entered the realms of daylight at 1 

o’clock. 

In the late afternoon, we went in our 

truck to the Great Onyx Cave, which 

is four miles from the Mammoth. If 

the Mammoth Cave is one of the 

seven wonders of the world, truly 

the Great Onyx is the eighth. 

It contains thousands of stalactites, 

stalagmite and helectite growths and 

gypsum formations. The entrance is 

surely unequaled. It is awe inspiring. 

Most of these growths are 

crystalized and when the light is 

held between them, they are very 

translucent. They are various shapes 

and sizes. One in the entrance 

represents an elephant’s ear. It is the 

exact shape and size of that animal’s 

ear and is in the same position as if 

it were attached to its body. There is 

also a rat in a gnawing position and 

other animals, all of which are quite 

natural. 

One could not starve in the Great 

Onyx, for there hangs the breakfast 

bacon, there stands the perfect jelly 

molds, and there lay the nicest 

potatoes in the hills. The macaroni 

also is in the factory. 

If one suffers from the toothache, 

there is the dental parlor at hand, 

though the teeth are hanging from 

the ceiling. There are thousands of 

them. 

The flower garden has all but the 

odor. It contains lilies, just burst into 

bloom, daisies and other flowers 

perfectly formed. 



In the jewelry shop are rings, 

spectacles, necklaces and every 

thing imaginable. Nearly all of these 

things are pure Onyx. 

It would take a genius to paint with 

his focile pen these perfections of 

Nature’s skill and even he might fail. 

The best description I can give is the 

poet’s definition of Love: 

Something so divine, description 

cannot make it less; 

Something we know, but can’t 

define; 

Something we feel, but can’t 

express. 

We dreamt that night of fairy grottos 

leading to heavenly flower gardens 

and magnificent Onyx chambers 

decorated with gypsum. 

We set out on our homeward journey 

early the next morning. We traveled 

the same road on our return, with a 

few exceptions that we had gone 

over on our way to the Caves. We 

stopped a while at Lincoln’s Farm to 

see his birthplace, drank from the 

spring where he first drank; but even 

thoughts of the great Lincoln could 

not drive out those of the Cave’s 

wonders. 

Before we visit foreign territories, 

let us see the great things in our own 

good state. Kentucky is more 

wonderful than we realize, even if 

politics are exciting and the 

moonshine is the stillest, etc. 

Kentucky is the best place, outside 

of Heaven, the Lord ever made.

Charles P. J. Mooney 

Charlie Mooney, Managing editor of 

the Commercial Appeal, the biggest 

and best paper South of the Ohio 

River, was here last Thursday. 

Charlie owns a farm in Bullitt and 

comes up once in a while to see how 

matters are progressing in an 

agricultural sense. He will make 

some speeches in Kentucky this fall 

and we should have him speak in 

Bullitt as he is a Bullitt County boy 

and one whom the old county may 

well feel proud for he is recognized 

as one of the biggest men in the 

South. 

Filet Lace Popular 

Lavish use is made of filet lace 

trimming on blouses, frocks and for 

collar and cuff sets. The smart 

Georgette waists are showing insets 

and collars of filet lace. 

Frocks of net are combined with 

generous amounts of the lace, while 

sometimes the material of the frock 

is Georgette, organdie or 

embroidered linen.

Judge A. E. Funk 

yields to the Grim Reaper. The 

people of Bullitt County were 

shocked last Wednesday morning 

when the sad intelligence was 

flashed over the telephone wires that 

Judge A. E. Funk was dead at his 

home at Brooks Station. He died in 

the early morning hours after an 

illness of about two weeks. His 

trouble was heart disease and acute 

dysentery. Thursday, his mortal 

remains were borne to Hebron 

Cemetery and interred there after 

brief service at the home conducted 

by Revs. Thorpe and Lloyd. 

Judge Funk was born in Bullitt 

County on the 14 th day of June, 

1859, and was at the time of his 

death, fifth nine years, three months 

and eight days old. He was a son of 

Robert Funk and spent his early life 

near Mt. Olivet. He was educated in 

the common school of Bullitt County 

and Bardstown, and was a man of 

splendid educational 

accomplishments. In 1894, he was 

elected as magistrate in the 

Shepherdsville district and served 

with distinguished ability. In 1913, 

he was elected Judge of the Bullitt 

County Court and served four years 

in that honorable and responsible 

position, filling it with ability and 

retiring from it with an unsullied 

reputation. 

Judge Funk was twice married. His 

first wife was Miss Victoria 

Holsclaw, daughter of the late 

William Hardin Holsclaw. Two 

children were born to that union, 

Mrs. Edith Gober and Mrs. Irving 

Sanders. Some years after the death

of his first wife, he was married to 

Miss Eugenia Holsclaw, sister of his 

first wife. He is survived by his wife, 

seven daughters, Mesdames Edith 

Gober, Ora Sanders, Ernestine 

Atterbury and Cecil Queenbury, 

Misses Verna, Clara Linn and Ursa 

Funk, and Messrs A. E. Funk Jr, 

William Funk and Muir Funk and 

two brothers and one sister. 

“Rade” Funk, as he was known all 

over Bullitt, was a man of brilliant 

mind and much ambition, both latent 

and patent. He was a splendid 

speaker, witty and eloquent and 

rendered yoeman service in his 

party’s behalf in many hard fought 

campaigns in Bullitt County. There 

is much by which he will be 

remembered as the fleeting years go 

by, but his most distinguishing trait 

or characteristic was his undying 

devotion to his wife and children. 

His whole married life was one long 

season of absolute devotion to the 

huge task of educating and caring for 

his children, and he performed that 

task well and creditable. His baby, 

Muir Funk, has been at Georgetown 

College two years, and Judge Funk 

was looking forward to the time 

when his last child would finish 

school and the stupendous task 

completed. From his immense 

peach orchards, he had sold enough 

fruit this year to pay all his 

indebtedness and place him on his 

feet and with his splendid farm at 

Brooks, covered with good crops 

and his large family of children 

either married and in homes of their 

own or making their own way the in 

world, it seemed that the declining 

years of his life were to be spent in a 

well-earned rest, but just when the 

summit was in view and the hopes of 

a lifetime were about to be realized, 

the dark shadows of death fell across 



his pathway and the unseen 

messenger called him away from his 

lived ones and left his home in 

sorrow and gloom. There is tragedy 

in every death, but if we consider the 

work performed by Judge Funk, if 

we consider what he had 

accomplished, how nearly his work 

was completed, his sad and untimely 

death was tragedy indeed. But death 

takes no account of our labors, 

neither performed nor those which 

lie ahead and the work which Judge 

Funk has almost finished will fall 

upon other shoulders. His earthly 

labors have been finished. He has 

left the world a better place than he 

found it. He leaves behind him ten 

splendid, bright-minded, confident, 

accomplished children, well 

educated and equipped for life’s 

battles and he has left to them a 

record of labors performed of which 

they may well fell proud. 

We tender to the stricken ones our 

sympathy and we feel that their great 

loss is one which is shared by our 

entire county. 

Kind Friends 

Meet Mr. McAllister, the new Big 

Chief of the Republican hosts of 


Big Mac is six feet, three and 

weights around 275 pounds, about 

the same size as candidate Warren 

G. Harding. 

We opine that both were chosen on 

account of possessing the proper 

dimensions required by the GOP for 

jumping on the martyr invalid of the 

White House. 

Mr. McAllister come here from 

Nelson County. He spent seven 

years in the Revenue Service, all of 

which time he was not standing up, 

Page 171 

nor on a “hunger strike” as you will 

observe. 

The late National Republican 

Convention granted the Negro of the 

South full Representation and 

equality in all party councils. 

Big Mac is a large party and a 

capable Real Estate and insurance 

man, but you got to admit, that in 

attempting to reunite the white 

Republicans and culled ladies of 

Bullitt into one harmonious voting 

organization, that he has some 

contract on his hands. 

Hurt on Bridge 

Mr. Leslie Basham, a painter for the 

L & N Railroad who lives at 

Lebanon Junction, fell while 

painting on the railroad bridge here 

Saturday morning and broke both 

legs and one arm and was internally 

injured. He was taken to Louisville.

Kind Friends 

Shake hands with Mr. W. F. Joyce, 

Chief Button Hander Outer for the 

Republican party in Bullitt County. 

Billie is one of those who was born 

a Republican and expects to die a 

Republican. Poor Chap - he’s 

hopeless.

However, he is one of the most 

intelligent and capable Republicans 

in this county. 

For a quarter of a century, he has 

done yoeman service for his party 

without reward. 

Once, he was an applicant for carrier 

on a mail route under a Republican 

administration and although he 

passed the best examination, the job 

was given to a well know Democrat. 

They already had Bill, and they 

might book the Democrat. See. 

It remained for the Democrats to 

recognize the sterling qualifications 

of Bro. Joyce, and to honor him with 

the office of Town Marshall of 

Shepherdsville, an office which he 

has filled with great credit. 

We have naught to say against Billie 

Joyce. He is one of the cleanest and 

most deserving Republicans in the 

county. 

BUT - To the Ladies and other First 

Voters, those of you may have a 

laudable political ambitions - let us 

point you to Billie Joyce as a living 

Example of the base ingratitude of 

the Republican Party in Bullitt

The Preston Street Pike 

The contractor has finished building 

3-1/8 miles of splendid pike from 

Shepherdsville to Brooks Run on 

the Preston Street Pike, recently 

contracted by our Fiscal Court. Lack 

of funds belonging to the County 

made it impossible to construct 

another mile, leaving 4-1/2 miles of 

miserably rough road the balance of 

the way to the Jefferson County line. 

Public spirited citizens knowing that 

nothing further could be done 

without raising private funds are 

undertaking to secure at least 

$2500.00 in donations to build 

another stretch of pike like that 

already built that reach from the 

Jefferson County line to McKenzie 

and Betis Store, a difference of little 

Page 177 

over one mile and covering the worst 

part of the pike and for the further 

purpose of repairing that part of the 

road between that point and Brooks 

Run to which point the new pike has 

already been built. It this can be 

accomplished, a smooth road all the 

way from Shepherdsville to 

Louisville will be secured. 

The Preston Street Pike is the most 

used and the most important road in 

Bullitt County and if the above sum 

can be secured, the Fiscal Court will 

appropriate a like amount and the 

road work above described can be 

done at once. The contractor will be 

obliged to move his machinery from 

the county without doing this work 

unless the above sum can be pledged 

or paid not later than next Saturday 

morning, the 9 th instant, and this 

opportunity will be lost. Every 

person is hereby solicited to donate 

without delay and to come forward 

and do so without further request as 

the time is so short it will be 

impossible for solicitors to call on 

all who must give to make the road 

work a sure thing. The funds given 

will be turned over to Fiscal Court to 

be used as above. 

Subscription papers are in the hands 

of Dr. G. W. Kirk, Nat Maraman, 

Jas. W. Hardaway, H. H. Combs, C. 

F. Troutman Jr, J. F. Collings, Will 

Jenkins and others.

night of this week. 

We are proud of the attitude of our 

Hebron teacher in regard to the 

memorial to our dead heros. Instead 

of having a beauty contest or pie 

supper, she is teaching her pupils 

patriotism by appealing to noble 

impulses and has appointed 

committees of pupils to solicit free 

will offerings. Is it honoring the 

dead on “Flanders Fields” to have 

value received for every cent we 

contribute? Suppose in the midst of 

hour hilarity, one of these dead 

soldiers should step in.

School were each fined in Judge 

Bradbury’s court here Saturday for 

failure to send their children to 

school regularly as is now required

court.

Pleasant Grove service flag has been 

framed which shall ever be a 

reminder to us of the great victory 

won by the aid of those for whom 

the stars stand. It seems remarkable 

that among the fourteen stars, there 

are no gold stars. It seems 

remarkable, with the exception of 

two, that our boys are among us 

physically and mentally as strong as 

they were when they left us, even 

though some of them were in the 

great battles. While we are proud of 

our flag, we hope and pray that the 

world has learned its lesson and 

never again will give occasion for 

presenting such a flag. May this be 

the last and therefore, an everlasting 

memorial of abiding world peace.

Some time ago, Charlie Shoptaw, of 

“Mountain Top” started squirrel 

hunting and when had gotten some 

distance from the house, he was 

surprised to find that he had been 

accompanied by the large Maltese 

Tom cat which dwells in and about 

the Holsclaw domicile. Reaching the 

woods, Charlie soon found a squirrel 

and shot it. As it fell, he was 

surprised to see the cat rush in and 

Page 183 

seize it. As a rule, cats will run when 

a gun is fired, but this cat proved an 

exception, and shook the squirrel 

just as dogs do and soon killed it. 

Charlie has been offered a good 

price for the cat, but has indignantly 

spurned all offers. A good squirrel 

cat is hard to find. The cat is bound 

to be better than a dog, for it can 

climb a tree as well as a squirrel, and 

when squirrels lodge in trees after 

being shot, the cat is all to the 

mustard as it can go right up there 

and throw the squirrel down, 

whereas the dog can only sit on the 

ground and bark.

November 12, 1920 


The most patriotic gathering of loyal 

people that could be found met last 

week at the Clermont School and 

under the leadership of Mr. Knight 

and Mr. Hess, made almost $100.00 

for the Soldiers Fund. 

This was done in the absence of the 

teacher, Miss Melton, who was 

seriously ill at that time and who 

took sick after the entertainment was 

announced. 

This is the largest amount made by 

any district this year of equal size. 

Trustees J. M. Havy (sic) and J. E. 

Quick are having some repair work 

done on the school building at 

Brooks. 

Contractor Joe H. Ball will some 

have the new schoolhouse completed 

at Whitfield and the School Board 

will offer for sale the old building as 

soon as the new one is completed.

Miss Kathryn Melton, Principal of 

the Clermont School, who has been 

on the sick list is able to be back at 

her post this week. 

Mr. John Ricketts, one of the best 

known men in that section, and 

formerly a rural trustee at Mt. 

Carmel, is seriously ill at his home 

in Wilson Creek. 

Miss Willie May Ridgway, the 

popular young teacher at Oak Grove, 

has introduced Domestic Art into her 

school this year which is being 

delightfully enjoyed by both pupils 

and patrons. 

Mr. Lee Bradbury and Mr. J. L. 

Laswell have qualified as trustees at 

Belmont School to fill the places of 

John R. Hill and Dr. Murray. 

The school at Oak Grove has just 

sent a cash donation of $2.00 for 

poor children. Besides, Mrs. 

Clarence Dawson and Mrs. Walter 

Armstrong bought us lot of good 

clothing, also Glendale and Sugar 

Valley has just sent a nice lot. 

Through the efforts of a few of 

Bullitt County’s good women, 33 

poor children were completely 

dressed up for winter at the office 

last Saturday and Oscar Kulmer can 

fit up a boy as quickly as a clerk in 

an up-town clothing store. 

We are indeed thankful to all who 

helped us make this move a success 

for these eight poor families. 

In the recent election, the following 

well-known men were elected as 

members of the County School 

Board without opposition: E. Z. 

Wiggington, T. L. Mattingly, H. M. 

Trunnell, J. T. Harris, W. J. Leslie. 

Miss Myrtle Klapper gave an 

entertainment at her School House at 

Woodlawn last Friday night, also 



Mrs. Blanche Cundiff gave one at 

Beech Grove and the teachers at 

Bardstown Junction held theirs the 

same night. We have not heard the 

results of any of them, but are 

hopeful that all were successful. 

The Box Supper which was given at 

Brooks was a success in every way. 

A cake donated by Miss Wilma 

Hatzell for the most popular girl was 

won by Miss Bessie Elliot and 

brought $69.50 (looks like) 

The box supper at Mt. Elmira was a 

success and Miss Elsie Rusch was 

the most popular young lady there. 

Halloween Party 

Mrs. Edith Cochran entertained 

quite a number of her friends 

Halloween eve, complimentary to 

the young ladies who are stopping at 

her house. Many interesting and 

entertaining games were played 

during the evening and the silvery 

thread of conversation remained 

unbroken throughout the evening. 

Misses Crenshaw and Bratcher 

performed very artistically on the 

piano and in addition to her clever 

work on the piano, Miss Bratcher 

sang several selections with much 

effect. She has a very sweet voice 

and will prove quite an addition to 

the musicians of this community. 

Among those present were: 

Mesdames Edith Cochran, Fletcher 

Smith and C. F. Troutman Jr., 

Misses Mantie Bratcher, Ruby 

Dean, Zollie Swearingen, Fannie 

Belle Melton, Nadine Melton, 

Bertha Trunnell, Nancye Trunnell, 

Helen Burkholder, Margaret Combs, 

Ethel May Cochran and Eunice 

Crenshaw and Messrs Gustavus 

Swearingen, C. F. Troutman, Myron 

Combs, Harry Hyman Combs, 

Theodore Combs, Floyd Weller, 

Page 190 

Jimmie Hardaway, Thomas 

Stallings, Ralph Henderson, and 

Robert Zimmerman. 

Mrs. Cochran was voted to be an 

ideal hostess and the guests betook 

themselves homeward trusting that 

she would not make that party her 

last one. 

Voted at 82 years old 

“Yes! I am a Democrat. Send a 

machine for me at 3 o’clock”, quoted 

Mrs. Martha Wells Rouse of 

Solitude. Mrs. Rouse will be 83 

years old February 12, 1921. She 

comes from a long staunch family of 

Democrats. Her sons, James V. and 

Will S., are leading Democratic 

politicians. 

Needless to say, the machine arrived 

promptly driven by her great 

nephew, Wayne Harris and she 

proudly cast her vote. 

May her dear children, as the 

twilight gathers and the evening 

stars think of Memories dearly 

treasured, but fondly laid aside by 

this dear “little Mother” with 

greatest love and respect proudly say 

to her “she did her duty well.” 

Mrs. Sarah O’Brien 

The death of Mrs. Sarah O’Brien 

occurred at her home in this place, 

Tuesday evening. Burial took place 

today in St. Louis Cemetery, 

Louisville after services at the 

Catholic Church in this place. In a 

more explained article, we shall give 

full particulars of the death of this 

good mother, friend and neighbor in 

our next week’s issue. 

Mrs. Mary A. Gill 

Mrs. Mary A. Gill, (nee Rennison), 

aged 76 years old, died at her home 

here Wednesday, Nov. 3, of old age.

She was married to Andrew Gill in 

1859 and had lived all her life in this 

county. She had been a member of 

the Christian Church for 50 years. 

She leaves three daughters, Miss 

Lillie Gill, Mrs. Emma Lee and Mrs. 

Leila Triplett. 

Funeral services were conducted at 

her home Friday by Rev. Lloyd after 

which the remains were laid to rest 

in the Hebron Cemetery. 

First Women to Vote 

Mrs. Everett Smith and Mrs. Frank 

Monroe have the honor and 

distinction of being the first two 

women to vote in Shepherdsville. 

Mrs. Fred Hatzell was the first 

woman to vote at Brooks. All three 

of these women are Democrats and 

are proud of the fact. Mrs. Hatzell is 

the daughter of the late S. F. Hatzell, 

who was a life long Democrat. She 

is proud to know she lives in a white 

man’s state. 

Women Voters 

The women have voted. At last, the 

stupendous task which rested upon 

the shoulders of a few consecrated 

women has been accomplished and 

women have the right of suffrage. 

And she went to the polls and cast 

her vote, and did it quietly and well. 

The number of spoiled ballots was 

surprisingly small and most of those 

can be charged to the men. 

The entrance of women into the 

political arena will not be followed 

by disaster but blessings. She will 

purify politics and make the country 

cleaner and better. She will grace 

and adorn her new position as she 

has the church and school and in a 

few years, the people will wonder 

why she has not been voting all the 

time man has had the ballot. Upon 



all great moral issues, women can be 

counted upon to vote right. That the 

women will divide upon politics just 

as the men have goes without saying. 

But their coming into politics means 

a decent election and better and 

more efficient officials. 

Time was when a slick politician 

could take a plug of tobacco and 

some booze and convince men that 

he was the man for the place, but 

you cannot fool a woman that way. 

The women of Kentucky, who prize 

and appreciate the right to vote, owe 

a great debt to Miss Laura Clay and 

Mrs. Madge McDowell 

Breckenridge. They were the first to 

take up the fight in Kentucky and 

there never was any lull in the fight. 

Under the most disheartening 

circumstances, they fought on and 

both have lived to see the fight won. 

Mrs. Breckenridge, the most 

eloquent women in the south, almost 

sacrificed her life for the cause, and 

is today in poor health as the result 

of the many sacrifices which she 

made from time to time. 

The Pioneer News congratulates the 

women upon the intelligent manner 

in which they cast their first vote and 

predicts here and now that in the 

years which lie ahead, they will 

make splendid use of the ballot so 

recently placed in their hands. 

In Memoriam 

In memory of Lou Peal Hibbs, who 

died in London, England, November 

7, 1918, of the flu, while in the 

service of his country. Was brought 

back to this country and buried in 

the sacred soil of Old Bullitt 

December 18, 1918. His heroism and 

sufferings shall never be forgotten. 

Stricken in a foreign land, he 

suffered and died there, alone, 

Page 191 

without the tender touch of a 

mother’s hand or the soothing sound 

of a sister’s voice. He gave his all 

for his country and the great cause of 

Universal Liberty. 

Around and upon his last resting 

place, the beautiful flowers of 

Summer bloomed, and threw upon 

the whispering zephyrs their fragrant 

perfumes and there, too, the golden 

sunbeams came to beautify and 

adorn the earthly couch of the heroic 

dead and in those Mansions, Eternal 

in the skies, we know his immortal 

spirit has found an abiding place 

many times brighter and more 

beautiful than the lovely robes of 

Summer which nature placed upon 

his sylvan couch in the little 

cemetery at Cedar Grove. 

Serious Accident 

While working around a hay press 

the latter part of last week, Mr. 

Walter Armstrong was seriously 

injured by having his clothing 

caught in the machine. He wheeled 

over and over keeping time with the 

fly wheel on the gasoline engine and 

but for the quick thinking of George 

Osborn, who shut the engine down, 

Walter’s career might have come to 

a close right there. Extricating 

himself from the machinery, Walter 

jumped in his machine and drove to 

Tom Hibb’s, using just one hand to 

steer the machine. Tom brought him 

to town and Dr. Ridgway dressed his 

injuries. 

His right arm was pretty badly hurt, 

his head was bruised, and his left 

side and back were bruised and 

lacerated considerably. 

It would have killed anyone else, but 

three days after the accident, “Walt” 

was looking after his farms and other 

business as usual.

Walter’s many, many friends and 

admirers will be glad to know his 

injures were not more serious. He is 

one of the real hustlers and live 

wires of this county and numbers his 

friends by the number of people who 

know him and everybody wants him 

to succeed. 

Breaks Ankle 

Mr. Dick Straney, a prominent 

farmer, broke his ankle while he was 

working at a saw mill near his home 

and while moving a log, it turned 

and broke his ankle. He was 

attended by Dr. Kerr and is resting 

easy. His many friends hope to see 

him out soon. 

Sells Store 

I have sold my entire stock of 

merchandise, but still have my 

lumber yard and will continue to sell 

lumber. 

All accounts are totaled and the 

books are at my residence so will be 

glad for all debtors to come and 

settle with my wife. G. S. Patterson.

Death of 

Mrs. Sarah Hardy O’Brien 

Mrs. Sarah Hardy O’Brien, widow 

of the late Wm. O’Brien, and 

proprietor of the well known 

O’Brien Hotel of this place, died at 

her home here on the evening of 

November 9, after an illness of more 

than three weeks. On Friday, after 

impressive services at the Catholic 

Church conducted by Ref. Father 

Pitt, her remains were taken to 

Louisville and buried there in St. 

Louis Cemetery. 

Mrs O’Brien, daughter of Mr. and 

Mrs. Joseph Hardy, was born on 

Cox’s Creek in Nelson County, 

November 2, 1842. She was married 

to Wm. O’Brien in 1857 and to that 

union were born fifteen children, 

eleven of whom grew to maturity, 

but when she was summoned by the 

invisible messenger, but three were 

living, Miss Maude O’Brien of this 

place, Claud O’Brien of Decatur, 

Ala and Eugene A. O’Brien of 

Louisville. 

Mrs. O’Brien was a remarkable 

woman in many respects. She was 

real remarkable for her great 

industry and indefatigability. She 

was remarkable for her charity and 

Christian piety. Her long life was 

one of unremitting toil and great 

usefulness. She was a home lover. 

Almost her entire life was spent in 

her home at work. Her success in

conducting her hotel was due in a 

large measure to her industry and 

close attention. Religiously, she was 

a staunch Catholic and died prepared 

for death. But she never argued 

religion, and her hotel was 

patronized more by Protestants than 

Catholics. During her last illness, all 

that skill and affection could do, was 

done, but the sands of life had 

become exhausted and seven days 

after her seventh-eighth anniversary 

of her birth, in the second hour of 

the evening, she passed from this 

vale of sorrow to that home which 

was prepared for those who live as 

she lived and died as she died. For 

more than three weeks, her only 

living daughter, whose devotion to 

her aged mother was almost superhuman, 

a splendid nurse and the 

family physician had done 

everything that could be done to 

preserve her life, but in vain. At the 

end of the long, long day of her life 

when the shadows of death gathered 

about her couch, she was ready. As 

the ripened leaf is gathered unto the 

harvest, as the colors of the summer 

sunset pass away before the hades 

(sic) of twilight, so passed the spirit 

of Mrs. O’Brien. 

She raised and cared for more 

children than any other person who 

has lived in She in the past 70 five 

years (sic). She reared a large family 

of her grandchildren. She fed the 

hungry, she clothed the naked, she 

added all she could to the sum of 

human happiness, and when her 

work was done, she left the world 

better than she found it. The 

beautiful flowers, sent by those who 

loved her, and the many friends who 

called during her illness and after 

her death, attested to the high esteem 

in which she was held. 



Attired in a beautiful burial robe, 

and tenderly laid away in a beautiful 

steel casket, moistened by the tears 

of her dear ones and covered by 

beautiful, elegant flowers, all that 

was mortal of the good Mother, 

Friend and Neighbor, was borne to 

the little church of which she was a 

devout and model member, and there 

funeral services were held. It was 

just such a funeral as she would have 

desired: the casket, the flowers, and 

the service were just as they should 

have been, her boarders, and each of 

them considered her as a mother. 

The sympathy of the community is 

extended to the bereaved children 

and grandchildren and especially to 

the faithful daughter who has given 

the best years of her life to the care 

of her mother and who was heartbroken 

and disconsolate when the 

end came.

Death of Earl Armstrong 

Earl Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. 

Robert Armstrong of this county, 

died at St. Anthony’s Infirmary 

Monday morning of this week after 

an operation which was performed 

in an attempt to save his life. With is 

wife, he was visiting in the home of 

Mr. Ambrose Skinner in the Knobs 

and while feeding a horse about dusk 

on last Saturday evening, was kicked 

by the horse he was feeding, his 

intestines being perforated. He was 

taken to the home of Mr. Skinner 

and apparently was not badly 

injured, but on Sunday morning, he 

began to suffer and a physician was 

summoned. The physician realized 

the great danger he was in and had 

him removed to Louisville where he 

was operated on, but it was to no 

avail. On Monday morning, he 

passed away. On Tuesday morning 

his remains were brought to 

Shepherdsville and on that 

afternoon, after brief but impressive 

and touching services at the Baptist 

Church conducted by Rev. Carter

Luton of the Methodist Church, all 

that was mortal of the departed 

husband was buried in Hebron 

Cemetery. The death of Earl 

Armstrong was more than usually 

sad. He was just twenty one years 

and two days old. Just two years 

ago, he was happily married to Miss 

Christina Skinner and with youth, 

strength and industry in his 

possession, and the girl of his choice 

by his side, life was to him a happy, 

happy dream. He was a young man 

of sterling qualities and much 

promise. The large concourse of 

people who attended the services at 

the church, filling it to overflowing 

and the many beautiful floral designs 

were feeling tributes to the 

popularity of the deceased. We 

extend our deepest sympathy to the 

parents of the unfortunate young 

man in their great loss. They have 

the sympathy of all and the heartfelt 

sympathy of every one goes out in 

double measure to the young widow. 

She was a school girl here and our 

people learned to love her for her 

bright face and sweet disposition and 

in her great sorrow, they mourn with 

her as she faces the future and its 

many trying ordeals. May that God 

who “plants His foot upon the wave 

and rides upon the storm” comfort 

and keep her as she mourned he loss 

of her departed companion. 

Martha Devers 

Martha Elizabeth Devers, little 

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Devers, 

died Tuesday morning from the 

effects of a severe burn. On Monday, 

she was standing before an open fire 

when her clothing caught fire. The 

fire was extinguished almost 

immediately, but the injury was 

great enough to cause her death. 



She was three years old, bright and 

pretty, the idol of her loving parents 

and a favorite with all who knew 

her. She was buried on Wednesday 

in Hebron Cemetery, after services 

at the home. We tender to the 

bereaved young parents our deepest 

sympathy. No words of ours can dry 

their tears or heal their broken 

hearts, but in that better land to 

which the spirit of their beloved 

little daughter has been called, there 

is One who can comfort father, 

mother and little baby sister and 

console them and He will dry their 

tears of grief and comfort them in 

their great sorrow.

Death of Robert L. Dawson 

Mr. Robert Lee Dawson, one of 

Bullitt County’s oldest and best 

known citizens died at Pitts Point on 

the afternoon of December 12, after 

a very brief illness of paralysis. 

Mr. Dawson was the oldest son of 

the late William Dawson, whose 

wife was Miss Margaret Lee, both 

members of two old wealthy pioneer 

families of that section and at one 

time were the largest land owners in 


The deceased was born near where 

he died on August 11 th , 1846 and on 

October 23 rd , 1871 was married to 

Miss Rena French, who survived 



him with the following children: 

Mrs. A. C. Viers, Mrs. Harce (sic) 

Padgett, Mrs. Chas. Howlet, Mrs. 

Herman Lee, and Miss Mary 

Dawson, of Louisville, Frank, Lee 

and Joe Edd also three brothers, 

Wm. and J. B. Dawson, of 

Louisville, C. J. Dawson of this 

County and one sister, Mrs. Robt. 

Lee of South Louisville besides a 

number of other relatives and 

friends. 

Mr. Dawson was himself a large 

land owner and one of the most 

accommodating farmers and 

neighbors to be found. He was liked 

by both young and old and anything 

that pleased the rest was all right 

with Uncle Bobby, as he was well 

known to the young people in his 

community. 

Mr. Dawson very seldom left home 

and his greatest pleasure was in 

spending his entire time with his 

loved ones. We have never seen a 

more devoted husband and father 

than he. 

His funeral was held on Tuesday at 

the old Catholic Church at Pitts 

Point, attended by his many 

sorrowing friends and relatives who 

together with the writer, offers to his 

faithful companion and children our 

sympathy and may He who doeth all 

things well console them in this sad 

hour.

Captures Moonshine 

Revenue officers, with the assistance 

of the County officers captured a big 

Moonshine still near Brooks 

Saturday. It was about 60 yards from 

the RR, one-half mile north of 

Brooks Station. Tona Manzo, who 

was arrested, pleaded guilty and was 

put under $200 bond, returned to his 

home Saturday eve, none the worse, 

only a little bit frightened. About 80 

or 90 gallons of mash with the still 

was destroyed, about $700 worth of 

raisins were captured. 



Sheriff Croan took them to the R. R. 

office at Brooks and had them billed 

to Louisville, but on Monday 

morning, the agent called Sheriff 

Croan and wanted him to come 

down and change the bill of lading 

as two boxes of raisins had 

disappeared out of the lot, but 

Sheriff Croan flatly refused to 

change the bill.

Notice 

Reduction in Trucking. Owing to the 

fact farm products have depreciated 

in value to a greater extent than 

other commodities and appreciating 

that many are now operating as a 

loss, I have decided to make a 

substantial Reduction in Trucking 

Rates to take effect at once. While 

operating expenses have not 

declined, yet I feel it is up to all of 

us to help bear the Farmers Burden

while drifting back to Normalcy. I 

am prepared to handle live stock, 

farm produce and other freight, 

promptly and carefully. Phone me 

day or night. No. 23, Fred 

Harshfield. Shepherdsville.
