I am still trying to find information on my grandmother who was BETTIE VIOLA TERRELL MELTON. Her father was a HENRY TERRELL and mother was called "BABE" TERRELL. Bettie was born sometime around 1867-1870 and died sometime after her last child was born in December 1897, but before September 1898, because that is when her husband, WILLIAM HENRY MELTON, remarried to Sallie Conner. Bettie and William Melton had the following children: Mollie (who is listed as Mary on one of the census) married to R. Claude Gann; Henry Wiley Melton never married; Emma Mattie? Melton married to John Cornelius Franks; Carl Delmar Melton; and JOHN D. HENRY HARRY TERRELL MELTON. Can anyone help me connect them to the Terrell's in Pikeville? I found out that Judge John D. Terrell, Jr. had a son named Henry and his wife might have been Elisha Cantrell. Henry died about 1873 and in 1879 in Lamar co, an L. J. Terrell married a Marion Henson. They have children listed as Mollie, Bettie, Katy, and Arvin. Is this the same Katy that was married to Joseph Camp? What happened to the Mollie and Bettie? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, my great-grandparents were John W. and Elizabeth Flurry Melton. If anyone has any old pictures of any of these people, I would be so grateful to get to see them. Thank you!

Are You Going To Plant Kudzu? Have you planned to set a few acres in kudzu—the magic plant? Well, if you have, just remember these points and you’ll have much better luck: 1. Prepare land now for planting crowns or seedlings. Thorough preparation insures much better success with kudzu. If manure is used as a fertilizer it should be put down before the land is turned. If phosphate is used it should be applied at the rate of 200-400 pounds of 16 percent phosphate, or its equivalent, per acre along with 50 pounds of muriate or potash, or its equivalent, at the time crowns are set. Planting may be done from now until growth starts in the spring. 2. It is advisable to set the kudzu five to six feet apart in five- or six-foot rows. If the rows are made 10 to 12 feet apart some crop such as corn or soybeans may be planted in the middles the first year. Crowns are used only if they are two years old or older and have a bud or growing point and well-developed fleshy roots, eight to ten inches long. Kudzu can also be set 3-1/2 feet in the drill with 25 feet between rows. 3. In planting the crowns or seedlings should be set in an open furrow at the desired distance or holes ma be dug with a mattock or posthole digger if it is not desirable to plow furrows. The soil should be carefully pressed around each plant. 4. Never allow crowns or seedlings to dry out as this will result in a poor stand. A good idea is to plant seedlings and crowns the same day they are dug, but if this is not possible they should be heeled in and kept moist until the land is prepared. Fayette Co.
