Extracts of The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 -1912
PREFACE
In March 2000, I began a project to extract an index of names published in the turn of the century
editions of the Bullitt Pioneer Newspaper. Microfilm of these early newspapers was available at the
Ridgeway Memorial Library in Shepherdsville. I first envisioned strictly an index of names only.
After working through several editions I realized that the style and content were unique and I started
over with the intent of using a line or two from the articles. Later, wanting to include even more of
the content I started the project a third time including significant articles. Hundreds or thousands of
hours later, I have this finished product.
I have tried to include every piece of information that would be of interest to a genealogist or local
historian, using "article", "etc" or "highlights only" for items not typed in its entirety, especially in
wedding descriptions or flowery obituaries. Omitted are most state-wide or national political items.
The images on the microfilm range from fair to completely unreadable. Many were faded, torn,
wrinkled and stained. I can't help but wonder how many went through our famous Shepherdsville
floods. The issues are scattered. Several years had only a few issues available.
The spellings of names often varied with the author. I have no idea as to the correct spelling of
many of the names. I typed them as they were printed.
The quality of the images caused many questions. A smudge, wrinkle or hole created gaps. Inkfilled
letter let to difficulty with e-a-o-c, u-n, i-l-t, R-B-H. Many looked so much alike. You many
want to look closer at names with these letters. Although diligent in the preparation and editing of
this project, there may be many instances of error. If you have questions, the microfilm is available
at the library.
Dates are entered in order as they appear on the microfilm. Some issues are out of order. I have
included date published as well as the original page number with the articles to make it easier to find
if you wish to look at the microfilm.
I have enjoyed reading and typing the newspaper into the database. My hope is that someone,
somewhere will enjoy the results of my many late night sessions at the computer.

Under the new school laws, every
county is required to furnish a High
School for the benefit of the common
school graduates. This county is so
small, and these graduates so few in
number, that it would be impossible
to establish a separate school for this
purpose. So, the County Board of
Education has made a contract with
the trustees of the Shepherdsville
Graded School to furnish the High
School Course to these graduates.
Under the terms of the contract, the
county will pay forty dollars for each
pupil entering in September and
twenty dollars for each one entering
in January. This offer of free tuition
will apply only to those pupils
between the ages of six and twenty,
who hold common school diplomas,

***Narrow Escape
Considerable excitement was caused
late yesterday afternoon, by a
runaway on Railroad street. Miss
Blanche Jeffries, Miss Nannie Ree
Thompson and a little baby of
Charley Jenkins were driving along in
front of Mr. Patterson's, when the
horse became frightened by a dog
which ran at him. He immediatly
became unmanagable and dashed
down the street, overturning the
buggy and throwing out the
occupants.
Fortunately, he ran down the unpaved
street between the railroad and the
Smith Hotel, where the soft mud
broke the force of the fall, and
doubtless, prevented more serious
injuries. Beyond a regular mud bath,
Miss Blanche and the baby escaped
unharmed. Miss Thompson was not
quite so lucky. She received a slight
scalp wound, and her left elbow was
dislocated. She was taken
immediatly to Dr. Ridgway's office
and the injuries attended to.
Neither the horse nor the buggy was
much hurt.

Centennial year of Little Flock
Baptist Church was fittingly
celebrated.
Last Saturday was an ideal day and
several hundred people, old and
young, assembled in the quaint old
church to enjoy the exercises
arranged for the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Little
Flock. First in order after divine
service, conducted by that grand old
soldier of the cross, Rev. W. E.
Powers, came the reading of the
history of the church.
In 1810, the church was admitted to
Long Run Association. It had been
previously organized with twenty-two
communicants, presumably by Rev.
Moses Pierson, then pastor of Cox's
Creek church in Nelson County. We
have not the names of the first
members, but the first record reads:
"Met on Saturday before the 4th
Lords day in August, 1810 and after
worship proceeded to business."
They put the Lord first. Then they
received seven members by letter and
experience. The first church house
was a stone building, one and onehalf
miles east of the present edifice,
and near the junction of Penn Run
and Cedar Creek. Here Moses
Pierson labored for perhaps fourteen
years, and many, both black and
white, were added to the church. For
in the Church of Christ, there was
neither bond nor free and the negroes
enjoyed all the privileges of church
members except voting, and we often
see master or mistress and slave
received together into the church.
But we see them displaying their
native weaknesses and subject to
discipline many times. In 1813, Bro.
Bob secluded for stealing. 1814, Bro.
Charles disciplined for riding a horse
without permission, and another
excluded for behaving disorderly at a
corn shucking, another for stealing a
penknife, a sister secluded for
stealing soap and flax, a sister
excluded for taking a ribbon from
Peter Smith's store and whipt by law
another for insolence to his master.
And today, we see members stealing
reputations and no discipline
Page 69
administered. But the white members
were also required to walk
circumspectly, and a white sister was
excluded for telling falsities, another
for dancing, and a brother for
speaking disrespectfully of a sister
and her family. Many brethren for
induging too freely in spirituous
liquor.
Among the early members were
ancestors of our most prominent
families. Samuel Simmons, Abraham
Fields, Thos. Walls, Jas. West, Thos.
Sanders, John Beckwith, Elizabeth
Rogers. Later, John Holsclaw, Mrs.
C. E. Bell, Dr. Ireland. Of a long list
baptized in 1840, but one lives today,
Mrs. Margaret Bates, nee Wells, who
is now 87 years of age and who
attended the centenary, the object of
much attention.
After the removal of Rev. Pierson in
1825 to Indiana, Rev. Robt.
Gailbreath became pastor and served
some 25 years. In 1848, Dr. J. A.
Ireland was ordained and later served
as pastor several years. Rev. R. A.
Beauchamp served as pastor several
years in the 50's, then Rev. G. W.
Robinson and J. B. English. During
which time the church prospered and
we find the brethren attending to the
Lord's business in the church. There
is a break in the record from 1837 to
1839, during which time the brick
church must have been built, as there
is no record of it later, but in 1844,
the legislatrue passed an enabling act
authorizing and consenting to the
conveyance of the stone church to
Benj. Summers in consideration of a
tract of one and one-half acres, on
which the present church stands.
The congregation assembled last
Saturday no doubt represented quite a
contrast to the one first gathered in
1810, but they listened to the same
gospel preached. Brother W. B.
Powers presided. W. J. Bell, in a
happy way delivered a cordial
welcome, the response being by Bro.
Powers. Dr. Holslaw read the
history. A poem was read by Mrs.
Holsclaw. Dr. W. J. Holtzclaw
preached a powerful sermon the "The

Three Cardinal Elements in
Christianity", followed by Mr.
Moody in a impressive talk on "Why
I am a Baptist". The we adjourned
for dinner, and the bountifully spead
table was a goodly sight, surely no
one went away hungry. In the
afternoon, Dr. J. W. Porter delighted
a large congregation with a masterly
address on "the Debt the World owes
to Baptists." All who were Baptist
felt proud of the fact. Saturday
evening, Rev. Vanarsdale, a former
pastor, preached.
Sunday morning, we were delighted
with a sermon by Rev. W. E. Powers
on "Be Ye Steadfast". It was as the
parting words of one on the
borderland of eternity and had effect
as such. Then the Sunbeams
rendered a program quite pleasingly
and an offering was made for the
band. In the afternoon, the WMU of
Little Flock held a meeting which
was addressed by Mrs. Bell Moorman
and Miss Leachman, city missionary
of Louisville. A very pleasing
feature of the Sunday Service was the
singing of the quartet from
Shepherdsville, Messrs Lindsay
Ridgway, Hon. Robert Zimmerman,
Mrs. Chas. Bridwell, Mrs. Frank Bell
and in the afternoon, they sang again
with Joe Brooks taking the place of
Mr. Zimmerman. Mrs. W. J.
Holtzclaw also sang beautifully, "I
Want to Go There". It was a great
occasion, the memory of which will
reach far into the new century. Mrs.
J. R. Holsclaw.

Carnegie Hero Funk Commission
awarded silver medal and $1000 to I.
Wood Miller for saving a life.
Pittsburg, Nov. 1. - The Carnegie
hero fund commission has announced
the recognition of fifty-eight more
heroes over territory extending from
Massachusetts to Southern California.
As always, in comparisons of deeds
of valor, Kentucky is at the front or
thereabouts. The hero commission
finds no more thrilling deed then that
Page 92
of I. Wood Miller, a liverman of
Waterford, KY, who on February 23,
1909, after nightfall, saved John H.
Eggan from drowning in the waters of
Brashear's Creek at Taylorsville. To
the extent of a full thousand words,
the commission formed by Andrew
Carnegie to hunt life savers, talks of
the heroism of Miller.
The commission goes on to tell how
Eggan, who was one of the mounted
rescuers in this time of flood, was
swept from his horse and clung to a
lamppost until cramp overtook him,
how he then shinned up the post out
of the reach of the water, still crying
for help.
Miller had made an attempt to reach
him with his horse, but finding that
his horse could not stand against the
current, he abandoned the animal and
struck alone toward Eggan on the
lamppost. He was compelled to rest
in a tree on the way, but he finally got
within speaking distance of Eggan
and encouraged him not to give up.
No one would come to Miller's help
with a rope for Eggan, and finally
after many tries, Miller succeeded in
getting a piece of fence lodged
against the post which held Eggans,
and he was finally rescued. It took
Miller an hour and a quarter to effect
the rescue.
The hero commission directs that a
silver medal be given I. Wood Miller
and that $,1000 be given him to be
applied toward the purchase of a farm
or in any other manner that he may
desire, providing that it meets with
the approval of the executive
committee.
Of the rescues from death or the
attempts, seven were from railroad
trains or street cars, nineteen from
drowning, one from a runaway horse,
eight from suffocation in gas
producers or wells, twenty from death
in mine disasters, two from fire and
one from shooting.
***Mrs. Ellen Greenwell.

Mrs. Ellen Greenwell, who departed
this life on October 7, 1910, was born
on January 7, 1832, making her 78
years and nine months old at her
death, which occurred within a few
miles of her birth place, and from
which she never lived over five miles.
Her long and useful life was spent in
this one community. She has as her
descendants and family relations two
brothers, Capt. J. Lan Lee of
Columbus, KY, and the Honorable
Wm. Jeff Lee, of Bullitt County, KY;
two daughters, Mrs William Hardy of
Pitts Point, KY and Mrs. S. M.
Miller, of Missouri, and three sons, of
whom two live here in Kentucky and
one in Missiouri. Her children,
grandchildren and great
grandchildren made her the head of
four generations.
Her maiden name was Lee, a
daughter of Robert M. Lee, deceased,
of this county, and all direct
descendants from the Virginia family
of Lees. She began her early
childhood when Kentucky was a
border and frontier state. The
Indian's wild whoop had scarcely
died away when she was born, and
this great Nation of our was then
nearly all east of the Alleghany
Mountains. No ocean steamers, no
railroads, no telegraph lines, no
sewing machines, no telephones, no
phonogranphs, no automobiles, no
birdman flying through the air; yes,
all these wonderful and useful
discoveries and inventions, and a
thousand others, were not yet
dreamed of.
In 1847, she was married to Robert
Greenwell, no less a gentleman than
she was a lady, and it is very natural
to believe that she made a good and
faithful wife and a noble mother. Her
natural good sense, her uniformly
generous and kind nature caused her
to be loved and esteemed by all with
whom she came in contact.
She became a member of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
over 40 years ago and lived and died
a consistant christian.
The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 - 1912
Extracted from microfilm by Edith Blissett
She was the mother of a large,
harmonious and loving family. Not a
single member of her family even
gave their parents any cause for
trouble or grief. She was always
uniformly kind and gentle, but was
very firm in her convictions. She was
charitable and loved her neighbors,
friends and the poor. The writer,
when a small orphan boy, found in
aunt Ellen Greenwell, a home and a
mother, and much of his life has been
shaped by the better traits of her life.
It can be said of her, truthfully, that
her good deeds in life will live after
her. Signed, H. J. G.

Wm. Troutwine Killed by George
Moore in a dispute over cattle.
Wednesday afternoon, George Moore
shot Wm. Troutwine with a single
barreled shot gun and he died within
a few hours thereafter. Moore was at
once arrested and lodged in jail.
Troutwine, in company of Lewis
Clayton (colored) had gone to
Moore's place to get a cow he had on
pasture there. After getting the cow,
they met Moore with a wagon load of
corn. Their talk soon became angry,
hard words were passed, and reaching
down in his wagon, Moore got a shot
gun and fired. The load of shot
struck Troutwine at the top of the
right leg, almost completely severing
the femoral artery. Troutwine walked
a few steps and sat down while
Clayton ran across the field to the
home of Jas. Miller Jr, who
telephoned Dr. Bates. As soon as
possible, the wounded man was
removed to Mr. Miller's, and
everything possible done, but without
avail. The unfortunate man received
his death wound within a few steps of
where he had been born and reared.

***Capt. J. W. Ridgway
Captain J. W. Ridgway, one of
Bullitt County's best known and best
loved citizens died at the home of
his son, Dr. S. H. Ridgway last
Friday evening, after an illness of
eight weeks. Death was due to the
hardening of the blood vessels and
failing of bodily strength, incident to
old age. He was almost eighty-four
years old and most of his life had
been spent in Bullitt County.
Captain Ridgway was a gentleman
of the old school. He held in
contempt all that was little and
questionable. For sixty years, he
had been a member of the Masonic
Lodge and about that long, a
member of the Methodist Church.
His daily walk was according to the
teachings of those institutions and
the commands of God.
His remains were buried in the
family cemetery near Cupio the
services conducted by the Masonic
lodge.
He is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Nick Lewis of West Point and
Page 130
five sons, Ben Ridgway of
Cloverport, and Robert, Dr. S. H.
and Lindsay Ridgway of this county,
and Tom Ridgway of Louisville, and
one sister, Mrs. James Augustus of

Captain Ridgway was one of our
best loved and most highly honored
citizens. His sterling qualities and
cheerful nature endeared him to all,
young and old alike.

died at the ripe old age of 78 at the
home of his grandson, Nick H. Hall
in Louisville, Tuesday, May 30,
1911 after a lingering illness of
many months, of great pain and
suffering, which he bore with
Christian patience. "Uncle Jim" as
he was known, was sent to the home
of Mr. Hall on Sunday, and during
his short stay with them, his life was
made so happy by his cheerful
grandson and wife, who watched the
dark shadows of the death angel
hover over the dear old man and
carry him from earth to Heaven.
Before departing this life, he took
the kind and loving hand of Mrs.
Hall and said, " Child, I am not
afraid to go, or to leave this old
world, no! no! but, I do want so bad
to stay with you all a little while to
enjoy life a little". He was the father
of five children, one of whom had
been dead about 26 years, Mrs.
Mina Hall, mother of the grandson
at whose house he spent his last
days. The others are Mrs. Mattie
Mitchell, Waco, TX, Mrs. Sudie
Hall, Louisville, Mrs. Lola Foster,
Shepherdsville, and one son, Robert
L. Smith of this place. He also
leaves 19 grandchildren and ?? great

***Virginia Barbour
That "death loves a shining mark"
was never more truly exemplified
than when the final summons came
that called from time to eternity
Miss Virginia Barbour, daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. John R. T. Barbour at
her home in Hubers Station Sunday
night. She was a lovely girl, just
budding into womanhood, having
just graduated from the Louisville
High School.
The death of Miss Barbour came
without warning. On the preceding
Monday night, she participated in
the commencement exercises of her
class and Saturday had a number of
her classmates as her guests at her
home in the country. She seemed in
perfect heath, but that night became
suddenly ill, soon lapsed into
unconsciousness and the efforts of
physicians to revive her were in
The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 -1912
Extracted from microfilm by Edith Blissett
vain. She was suffering from
uraemic poisoning and the disease
made such rapid progress that she
passed away as stated.
The funeral was from the Chapel of
St. Mary Magdalene's Church at
Brook and College Streets in
Louisville and buried in St. Louis
Cemetery near that city. Pallbearers
were: Kendrick Lewis, Thos.
Coleman, Edward C. Humphrey,

Brooks in Rome several years ago,

general regret in this county.

The new street crossings were put
down, at considerable expense, for
the benefit of citizens and visitors
who have frequently to cross the
streets, and not to hitch horses and
buggies on. People driving into
town would do well to bear this in
mind and hitch so that their vehicles
will not obstruct the crossings,
especially in muddy weather. By
doing so, they can save a great deal
of "unnecessary cussing" that a
Wise Providence may see fit to
charge to their account instead of the
"cussers".

***Mrs. Hardin Holsclaw
Mrs. W. H. Holsclaw, the venerable
widow of the late Hardin Holsclaw,
so well known in this county, died at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
A. E. Funk, at Brooks Station, last
Monday. Her death was the result
of infirmities of age, she being about
88 years old. Her husband, Uncle
Hardin Holsclaw, as he was
generally known died about ten
years ago and since his death, she
has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Funk, who with her
children, had ministered tenderly to
her wants and made her declining
years pleasant and comfortable.
She is survived by three sons,
Messrs Lawrence, Clarence, and
Burns Holsclaw, prominent farmers
and fruit growers of this county and
two daughters, Mrs. Dupree, of
Louisville, and Mrs. Funk of this
county. Also a large number of
grand and great grand children.
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Peak, of the Methodist Church,
of which she had long been a
member, were held at the residence
Thursday, and the remains were laid
to rest in the cemetery at Hebron.
Highlights only.
Some fifty of Bullitt County's best

***Educational News
Under auspices of the Bullitt County
School Improvement League, J. R.
Thompson, Secy.; Chas. Bridwell,
Pres. A permanent County School
Improvement League was started at
our last teachers' meeting. The
purpose to effect a closer union of the
school interests of this county,
looking forward to a betterment of
school conditions as existing here and
in the State at large. We are on the
eve of an educational upheaval in this
State, and one of the first aims of this
League should be to place Bullitt
County among those at the top.
When we come to realize that money
spent in educating the masses of the
people means material prosperity as
well as mental and social advance;
when it is borne in upon our brain
areas that an organized educated body
is bound to attract wealth; when we
come to know that a dollar expended
for popular education will save two
dollars spent for the maintenance of
"penal institutions" and to the
conduct of criminal courts; I say
"when we understand that education
is a matter of "dollars as well as
sense", we will join in one united
effort for better schools and universal
education. I urge every teacher to
organize a district improvement
league. Chas. Bridwell, Pres., J. R.
Thompson, Secy.

Test of real education. A professor in
the University of Chicago told his
pupils that he should consider them
educated when they could say yes to
every one of these questions:
Has education given you sympathy
with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited. Has
it made you a brother to the weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them? Do you know
what it is to be a friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a pure
woman in the eye? Do you see
anything to love in a little child? Will
a lonely dog follow you in the street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the meaner drudgeries of life? Do
you think washing dishes and husking
corn just as compatible with high
thinking as piano playing or golf?
Are you good for anything to
yourself? Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything except dollars and
cents?
Can you look into a mud puddle by
the wayside and see a clear sky?
Can you see anything in the puddle
but mud? Can you look into the sky
at night and see beyond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship with
the Creator? - Reprint Kansas City

Bullitt County teachers are receiving
$4.63 for every pupil enrolled in the
school census. This is more than any
other county in the State, due to the
fact that we have many dogs, few
sheep, and because our county
officers are going after the owners of
dogs and collecting the tax. Strange
to say that Bullitt County, the home
of Mr. Croan, is leading in school per
capita by the influence of "The Croan
Dog Law", as we receive $447.26
from the dogs for our boys and girls.

We, the ladies of the W oman's
Sanitary Club, hereby ask that the
Town Board publish a notice to all
residents of the town of
Shepherdsville to clean up gutters and
alleys before April 20, 1912. Also
investigate the sanitary conditions of

remove all rubbish from the school
house yard, also prohibit the throwing
of rubbish on the river bank and
throwing dead carcasses in the river
within the town limits. Also to

Misses Kate and Lulie Swearingen,
after three months absence in Texas
and Mexico, returned to their pretty
home in Mt. Washington Tuesday.
They visited Ft. Worth, Dallas,
Houston, San Antonia and also went
over into Old Mexico and visited
some border towns. The greater part
of their time in Texas was spent with
their brother, Dr. W. H. Swearingen,
at his lovely home in Denton, where
he has made good in the practice of
his profession and has an excellent
record as a citizen and professional
man. Like all Kentuckians,
especially of the old pioneer stock,
who go south or west, he is greatly
respected and admired for his sterling
integrity, sociability and professional
ability. It is another case where
Kentucky's loss is Texas' gain. The
ladies stopped at Hot Springs,
Arkansas on their way home and
enjoyed a ten days stay at that
delightful winter resort.

popular young couples of this county

were married at 8:30 Wednesday
evening at the handsome county
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Neil Brooks Sr, "Brookland" on
the Louisville Pike. Invitations were
limited to relatives and a few close
friends of the respective families, but
these filled the house and made it
quite a large, elegant affair. The

beyond his control prevented;
consequently, we are unable to give

otherwise would have been the case.
We are indebted to the Louisville

description of it.

Brooks to Herman Taylor Williams
was solemnized last Wednesday
evening at 8:30 at "Brookland", at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and

Shepherdsville. The decorations
were snowballs, narcissus and
plumosa. Miss Virginia Brooks was
her sister's maid of honor, and Misses
Austine and Mary ..... were the
bridesmaids. .... and Robert .... Tyler.
The bride wore a hand embroidered
gown of white batiste cut with a
square neck and half sleeves. Her
tulle veil was caught with lilies of the
valley and her bouquet was a shower
of bride's roses and lilies of the
valley. The maid of honor wore an
embroidered pike voile and the
bridesmaids wore gowns of pale blue
voile. The French bouquets were of
lilies of the valley and white sweet
peas.
After a wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs.
Williams will be at home on a farm

years of age, was born in Bullitt
County, where he lived until about
thirty years of age when he moved to
Lagrange, KY., where he engaged in
business for a few years, moving from
there to Greensburg, IN; where he
lived for about twenty years. Mr.
Troutman was a good businessman and
had succeeded in accumulating a large
amount of money and property.
He had, however, been in an afflicted
condition for about seven years,
partially paralyzed, his eyesight lost
and almost entirely unable to hear. In
this condition, he had been unable to
get any relief whatever, having tried
every remedy that medical science and
skill could offer, and at last, all hope of
relief leaving him, he became
despondent and took his own life by
firing a bullet through his heart, dying
almost instantly. His remains were
brought to the home of his sister, Mrs.
M. E. Meredith and from there to Cave
Hill for burial.

***James H. Combs
Death of James H. Combs, one of the
best liked men Old Bullitt ever
produced, died of Pellagra, at his home
in Lexington, KY, August 4th, aged
forty-nine years. He was the son of
Olive P. and Margaret Combs, and
spent his childhood, boyhood and
young manhood in Bullitt County,
where he worked on the home farm
and clerked in several stores. Always
polite and obliging, he made friends
rapidly, and held them throughout his
life. For many years, he has been with
the Lexington and Eastern Railroad,
first as a fireman, and for the past
fifteen years in the capacity of a
locomotive engineer. About twenty
months ago, he was badly injured in a
wreck, and has not done any work
since that time. He is survived by
three brothers, Rev. E. H., H. H., and
W. M. Combs, and two sisters, Mrs.
Ralph Bergin and Mrs. C. D. Evans
and one daughter, Hazel. To each of
the grief-stricken brothers and sisters
and the fatherless little daughter, we
extend our deepest sympathy, for there
was no better brother, and no truer
lasting friend than James Combs.
***Zosters
Quite a stir was created in our town
last week when it was noised abroad
that about all the boys were wearing
zosters. Porter Bridwell, Sed Bell,
Bud Combs, Hugo Rouse, Tom
Martin, and in fact, all the boys wear
zosters. Zosters, in this day and time,
are very important articles of dress,
and no young man is considered well
dressed unless he wears one. Porter
Bridwell has a very pretty zoster (sic),
since he came back from the west, and
the other boys have worn them quite as
long. Deacon J. E. Collings, W. N.
Griffin, Tom Hornbeck, Lindsay
Ridgway and several other men worth
living without zosters. The zoster is
here to stay.

Quite a crowd of friends visited
Trunnell, Wathen & Co, at "All Inn
Camp", Sunday, and a better time was
never enjoyed by mortal man than
those same friends were shown by the
whole souled men who have charge
of the camp. The dinner was all the
most exacting critic could desire and
when it came to the service, the chief
danger lay in not eating all the waiters
tried to make you take.
Joe Bowman was head cook or Chief,
and assisting him were, Wax
Simmons, Charlie Morrison, Henry
Trunnell, Richard Wathen Jr, Neil
Trunnell Jr, Charles Bridwell, and
Henry Hamilton. Can you beat that
outfit? When dinner was served, all
the cooks became waiters and the
way they passed dishes to guests
would make the Seelbach waiters
look sleepy. And how good that food
tasted. No stuffy dining room, no
flies, no heat.

It was an al fresco affair, and mighty
enjoyable, too. A nice, quiet time
was spent up there beneath the shade
of those lordly elms and beautiful
beeches, and when the lowering sun
reminded the guests that is was time
to go, they bade their princely hosts
good bye with genuine regret. The
funny features of the day were: the
eating of dough balls by S. C.
Bridwell, some fancy swimming by
Henry Hamilton, a profound nap of
sleep by Will Rouse and the
unparalleled hospitality of Neil
Trunnell and his two boys, and that of
Richard Wathen Jr and Joe Bowman -
Signed, one of the crowd.
Delightful Picnic - One of the most
delightful affairs of the season was a
picnic at Paroquet Springs, given by
several of the young ladies, on
Wednesday evening of last week, in
honor of the Misses Stroud. The
picnic party was conveyed to the
Springs in a large buss, and received
many jolts and scares at the heavy
vehicle lumbered across the rough
road. "Lone Grave" was first visited,
and much interest was manifested by
the visitors in the last resting place of
the broken-hearted girl from the
southland. After spending some time
near the one mound, the party moved
over to the well and partook of the
famous water, and many "faces" were
made by the ladies who had not drunk
the water before. There was a skiffride
to the mouth of the Floyd's Fork,
in which all joined except Mrs.
Brame and Miss May Lee, and on the
return of the boating party, it was
made known that the above
mentioned ladies had prepared a
bountiful repast, made up of almost
everything good to eat. To say that
everybody ate heartily would be
expressing it mildly. There was no
dearth of conversation or good spirits
and everyone enjoyed the trip. Those
in the party were: Mrs. Webb Brame,
Misses Blanch and Bessie Stroud,
Virgie Stringer, May Lee, Doris
Miller, Sybil Brame, and Elizabeth
Brame and Messrs Harvey Davis and
J. R. Zimmerman.

Rev. Webb Brame, pastor of a local

sheep industry of the knob section, and
who has had his stock imported direct

worthless, will be given a chance to
see what can be grown profitably and
successfully on the knob section of our
county.

***House Robbers
On Friday, the last day of the Fair,
several houses in the neighborhood of
Shepherdsville and Bullitts Lick were
broken into and robbed.
It seems that the robbers began by
breaking into the house of Jim
Maraman, then to Robt. F. Lee,
entered his house and obtaining all
they desired from these two houses,
went to Web Drake's, then to Saddler,
Herbert Croan's and Eph Quick's, all
being broken into and entered by the
same parties, who left at each
succeeding place, some of the articles
previously obtained.
Mr. Croan procured the blood hounds
of Louis Gilbert of Highland Park,
but the dogs were unable to render
any assistance.

***B. E. Bradbury
The body of B. E. Bradbury, 45,
formerly a restaurant keeper at Floyd
and Green Streets, Louisville, was
found by a searching party Wednesday
morning lying at the foot of an
embankment on the bank of the Ohio
river fifteen miles below Louisville.
Mr. Bradbury had been visiting the
home of Claud Ridgway, near Orell,
for several days and on Tuesday night
he disappeared, apparently for a walk,
and failing to return, a searching party
was formed and the entire night spent
in looking for him.
In the pockets of the dead man were
found a roll of bills and his watch.
Deputy Coroner Kammerer does not
suspect foul play. It was believed that
he wandered to the river bank, and
losing his balance, fell over the
embankment. It was later brought out
at an examination of the corpse that
death was caused by organic health
trouble. Bradbury is the nephew of J.
J. Bradbury, of this place, and had
some time ago purchased from Mr.
Ridgway, the farm upon which he was
when his death occurred. He had in
the last few years prospered in his
business and expected in a short while
to give up his city business and move
to the farm. He was a veteran of the
Spanish-American War and is survived
by a wife, one child and a sister.

***Reunion of Old Friends
September the 15th, Mrs. Mollie
Barrall, widow of C. H. Barrall, is
going to entertain some friends. W.
T. Morrow, F. P. Straus and Samuel
M. Simmons will be among them.
Many years ago, Mrs. Barrall kept
boarders in Shepherdsville and
Messrs Straus, Simmons and Morrow
boarded with her. They were young,
ambitious men at that time, with
bright hopes for success in the years
to come. Mrs. Barrall, while showing
the weight of years, is still the
splendid, high toned Southern lady
she was in these olden days. Here is
hoping that the meeting between this
splendid lady and her former boarders
may be most pleasant and followed
by many others just as pleasant.
Since then, Mr. Morrow has won
distinction. He was judge of this
county for three ..... won much praise.
He is now a man of ample means and
high public spirit.
Mr. Straus has been honored in his
time, and besides having represented
this district in the Legislature and the
constitutional convention, has become
one the greatest lawyers at the
Kentucky Bar. He has become a great
trial lawyer and is prominently
identified with church work in
Louisville where he lives.
Since then, Mr. Simmons has become
a man of wide learning and ample
fortune. Almost as well acquainted in
Europe, and the countries of the

South, as here in Bullitt where he was
reared. He is noted for his
experiences and knowledge of the
world.
Our school is progressing very nicely,
with a good attendance considering
this torpid weather. Also a very great
need for this district is a school
building on a ground where the
children could have a playground.
There is absolutely no grounds, no
roads to the house, and no water. It
keeps some two boys about busy,
carrying water for fifty or sixty some
odd children. Indeed, this school
needs a new building out on grounds
suitable, two rooms, two teachers or a
consolidations of this and Hobbs with
three teachers. This would indicate
progressiveness, and would result in a
blessing you can hardly realize now,
improvement in schools.
Consolidation is coming as sure as
the world stands.
Mr. Clarence Duvall had quite an
accident while moving a well-boring
machine. He fell from a wagon,
breaking his leg near the hip. He is
resting very well at this writing under
medical care of Dr. Bates, of
Shepherdsville.
Little Beatrice Powell has been quite
sick for some days.
Next Saturday is to furnish another
refreshing time in ice cream at the
lawn fete, under the beautiful shade
Maples at Mr. John Duvall's. All are
invited. Proceeds go to painting the
church.
The Distillery Co. of Chapeze is
piping the spring water of the big
Spring well to its distillery at
Chapeze, with a very large pipe.
They are also making several
improvements about their buildings.
***Good School Houses - Good
Water.
Our most excellent school board has
erected some good school houses in
the county, and in most instances has
built a good cistern with each house.
The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 -1912
Extracted from microfilm by Edith Blissett
This is as it should be, for pure water
is a necessity at a school house, as well
as at other houses
The old fashioned well, usually about
twenty feet deep and open at the top, is
a pool of death. More deadly diseases
lurk in its foul depths than can be
found in an Arkansas swamp.
Some good road is being built in
Bullitt at this time. The Louisville and
Shepherdsville Pike is being put in fine
condition. The new steam roller has
done the work. With it, it is possible
to build good roads at much less
expense than in the old way.
When you contrast the roads in Bullitt
County with those of Jefferson, do not
forget that Bullitt spends about eight
thousand dollars a year on her roads,
while Jefferson County spends two
hundred and fifty thousand on hers.
They spend more money accidently
down there in Jefferson than we spend
on purpose. And more than that, if we
had the spare change which they waste
in what is known as grafting, we could
transform the bad roads of Bullitt into
the finest of boulevards.
***Did you ever try this game?
Did you ever try to run a newspaper?
We thought perhaps you had. We
have heard you criticize the county
papers and from your criticisms, had
formed the idea that you were a trained
journalist. And you do not know a
blankety-blank thing about the
business? We should have known it.
As a rule, they (the people) criticize
the things they know least about.
Running a paper is no cinch. We can
name a thousand and two pleasanter
things. The work is hard, while the
pay is very poor. Did you (we mean
the ladies) ever attempt to scrape up a
meal on the spur of the moment!
It is no fun, and this is what the paper
men have to do every issue. When
you go to write, you have to be careful
and get something that is not motheaten
and worn out from continued
use.
Page 282
Suppose the paper men wrote just as
the gossipers talk? The papers would
be full of news this week, and next
week, the editor would be full of
buckshot. To record all the drunks,
wife-beatings, family troubles and
social scandals would make a breezy
paper all right, but the people would
rise up in their might and lynch the
editor and burn his paper. We could
make a specialty of writing up all the
big snake stories and grave yard ghost
stories, but that might prove too
uncanny and ghostly for our delicate
readers and then it might keep a lot a
timid youths from going to see their
best girls after night.
Maids to fill our columns with their
experiences in love affairs. We feel
sure that they could send in some
very readable articles, and cause
some of the boys to do some fine
blushing. In connection with their
articles, we could publish love letters
on the side.
Or, better still, we might get each
married man to give his written
opinion of his mother-in-law, and
follow that up with the mothers-inlaw
giving their opinions of their dear
sons-in-law.
There are hundreds of ways in and by
which we might make our paper more
readable, but would we live long in
the land of our farefathers? (sic) We
could stir up a small storm each
week, by jumping on some fellow and
giving him a good skinning, but
honestly, do you want to be the
skinned fellow? Of course you do
not, nor does the other fellow. No
man can enjoy being abused by a
newspaper. You do want us to tell
you of matters which we told you
about last year.
It would not do to advocate any
particular religious organization, nor
advocate it's views, because all other
denominations would get red hot.
What, therefore, must we publish?
We know that we should not publish;
tell us what we must publish.

For long, long years, the poor,
despised, abused and poorly paid
newspaper men of this county have
been in the habit of publishing just
what they could get, and we shall
continue to do the same. Provided it
is not so bad that we shall be in
danger of being shot or hauled up in
the federal court.
***Revival
