    3. Hi, I just joined, and would like to know if anyone has these surnames. The DEWITT family lived in Louisville, KY from at least 1880. Before that were in Perry, Pike Co., Illinois and Willisburg, Washington Co, KY. The HOLLENCAMP family came from Germany and settled in Louisville, KY, a daughter married DEWITT. Many are buried in Cave Hill Cemetery. The HAWKINS family lived in Hardin Co., KY, also spent time in Nelson Co. and Willisburg, Washington Co., KY I also would like to hear from anyone with Louisville history from 1880 on, for example - The DEWITT's attended the Broadway Christian Church, which was on the south side of Broadway between Floyd and Preston in Louisville. Is this church still there? They also owned a dry goods, cleaning supplies, coats & notions business named DeWitt & Co. in Louisville. I have story (advertisement) in German from the Louisville Anzeiger 12/16/1888 about this which mentions other surnames which I could post, if anyone is interested. One last note, am also interested in recollections of the Louisville Girls High School. I have a booklet listing attendees of the 50th golden anniversary at the Kentucky Hotel on June 13, 1953, in Louisville, KY of this high school, class of 1903. My husband's grandmother, Olive DeWitt Prouty, was one attendee among others I can share. Thanks, Nancy Prouty
