Ed Albert wrote: Lets have a bit of a Roll Call and post those Fair/Fehr families we are researching. Ed, here is what I have on the Fair name. Looking for a KY connection between the Fair, Busby and Bingaman (name could also be spelled as Bingham/Bingman??) families of KY, probably Lincoln, Adair and neighboring counties. My ggg gfather was Matthew Busby of Adair Co, KY. Settled there early 1800's with first wife, Seluda Tinsley Busby and children after leaving Amherst Co, VA. After Seluda's death ca 1820, Matthew married Sarah/Sally Drake Winfrey, widow of Elisha T. Winfrey. Sally apparently died before 1843 as Matthew is deceased by this time and his widow is named as Polly Busby. I believe this Polly Busby to be Mary/Margaret? "Polly" Fair of Lincoln Co, KY. She is believed to be the daughter of James M. Fair and Mary Elizabeth May Fair of Lincoln Co. Brother believed to be William M (Montgomery??) Fair and sister thought to be Jane Fair. According to information I have, "Polly" was born in 1800 and died in 1888 according to headstone in McKinney Cemetery in Lincoln Co. Most likely she had been married at least once before her marriage to Matthew. The only Busby marriage record I can find in Lincoln County is between a Margaret Bingaman on 5-17-1841 and a Matthew Busby. I can find none in Adair County. Need to prove this was my Matthew who married Margaret Bingaman and that this Margaret Bingaman/Bingman/Bingham was the same person as Polly Fair. Deeds and Busby records found in Adair County court records list Polly Busby as widow of Matthew. Also shown is infant Elizabeth "Betsy" Ann Busby, born March of 1843. Below is information found in court records. All of these records are from the Court Order/Minute Books in the Adair County Court Clerks office. These 3 are from Order Book G, page 100. The date of the court session at the top of the page is Monday, Nov 6, 1843. 1. The widow of Matthew Busby, deceased, this day in proper person relinquished her right of administering upon the estate of her deceased husband and on the motion of Jordan Owen, the administration of the estate of said Matthew Busby, deceased, is granted him by having taken the oath required by law and executed and acknowledged bond in the penal sum of six thousand dollars with John Massie and Chapman Doheney his securities conditioned as the law directs. 2. On the motion of the administration of the estate of Matthew Busby, deceased, ordered that William Hardwick, Basil A.Wheat, Philip Winfrey, and John Guy be and they are hereby appointed, commissioners who and any three of them being first duly sworn, do appraise the slaves, if any, and personal estate of said decedent hereforth. 3. On the motion of Polly Busby, she is appointed guardian to Betsey Ann Busby, infant daughter of Matthew Busby, deceased, she having executed and acknowledged bond in the penal sum of eight hundred dollars with ***William M. Fair*** her security conditioned as the law directs." Nothing found in the Will Book. In the Marriage Book is one marriage to Sally Winfrey, Book 1, page 72, on Sunday, the 7th of August, 1821 by Henry Winfrey. I received information from another researcher that a bible lists the birthday of an Elizabeth Ann Busby as 3-16-1843 and probably pertains to the infant, Betsey Ann Busby, shown in item #3, above. If these two are one and the same, then by using Betsey's birthday for estimation, Matthew would have been alive in June/July of 1842. If he didn't die while Polly was carrying this child, then Matthew could have died between March 1843 and November 6, 1843, the date of the above motions filed in the county clerk's office. This information indicates to me and hopefully to others, that the above Polly Busby is the d/o James M. Fair and the same Polly Busby found on the 1850 Lincoln Co, KY census. Polly is buried in McKinney Cemetery in Lincoln County, KY but a burial site for Matthew has not been found there. I think they were still living in Adair County when Matthew died and he is most likely buried in the same cemetery as my ggg grandmother, Seluda Tinsley Busby. So far I have not been able to find the location of this cemetery. I believe that after Matthew's death, Polly and child, Elizabeth "Betsey" Busby, moved back to Lincoln County as she had family there. I believe that James M. Fair, (born in Bedford Co, VA) and Mary Elizabeth May Fair of Lincoln County were her parents and that the Betsy Busby, age 7 years and the Jane Fair, age 46, shown on the 1850 Lincoln Co, KY census was her daughter and her sister. It is thought that the Elizabeth Fair, age 79 also shown on that census, was her step-mother as her father had married a second time to Elizabeth Porter. I believe the William M. Fair mentioned in above court records, item #3, was her brother. Some of the information above is proven and a lot is simply theory. I'm sure there are probably mistakes in the above information but I would love to hear from anyone who could provide me with help on any of the above mentioned people. I'm open to any corrections and suggestions. I'm really stumped on this one! Thanks for any and all help, Paula

NEWSPAPER: Adair County News, Jan. 30, 1901 doesn't say but I think it's by Carole Moody also. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/ky+index+20187002+F Some items of genealogical interest from THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS Wednesday, 30 Jan 1901 Obituary A sad day reaches every home. God saw fit in his wonderful power and wisdom to call from his earthly cares, Bro. B. D. ROBERTS, and thereby caused great sorrow and sadness in the home of his children, George, Leslie and Miss Annie Roberts with whom he had been making his home for the last two years. He had all the care that loving children, friends and neighbors could bestow. But God saw fit to call him home to glory, notwithstanding all was done that could be done to relieve his suffering. He had been ailing for several months. He had been heard to say time and again "I am only waiting my summons." Bro. Roberts was 67 years, 4 months and 28 days old when he died. He was married to Miss Sallie HUGGARD, December 31, 1862 and lived with her until her death, March 28, 1888. Of this union were born eight children, five of which are still living. He professed religion in 1858; had never united himself to any Church, but had lived up to the standard of Christian faith until the day of his death. The unmistakable evidence of which he left while departing this life showed that he had not lived in vain. He was already to lend a helping hand to his friends and neighbors. When well was kind and pleasant, and had a good word for every one he met. He was never heard to speak evil of any one and was honest, always walking in the path of rectitude. -- His funeral was conducted by Rev. H. T. JESSE, at the Baptist church near where the deceased had lived many years. A host of relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Five children and one grandchild survive him. While it is their loss it is his eternal gain. Truly we can all say we miss him. --- A Neighbor. Messrs. Olie TAYLOR and R. F. HOLLIDAY and Flave CONOVER, this county, have gone to Oklahoma. Mr. Henry GRIFFIN and Miss Mattie N. NALL, both of Taylor county, were married at Cane Valley, Adair county Wednesday of last week. An old maiden sister of Mrs. Geo. A. YOUNG died last Thursday. She lived near Glenville and have been in feeble health for quite a while. Aunt Jane SQUIRES, a respected old colored woman, died near the Dohoney mill one night last week. She was very much liked by the white people living the neighborhood where she lived. G. B. TAYLOR sold his farm, lying near Greensburg, a few days ago, to Abner SMITH, who lives near Thurlow, for $2,450. Possession has been given. Mr. Taylor is in poor health and will remove to Oklahoma. His wife was Miss Kate STONE, who was a popular young lady in C. C. College, this city, a number of years ago. Berry SMITH, a former citizen of Adair county, but more recently from Warren county, has removed to Greensburg. Mrs. Fred GRIDER, an estimable lady, who lived five miles east of Columbia, died last Saturday night. She was a kind, sympathetic woman and will not only be missed by her sorrowing husband and children, but by the whole neighborhood in which she lived. Mr. Azure DAMRON, who left Adair county for Carroll county, Missouri, several weeks ago, has rented a fine farm and is now turning over corn ground. He writes that he is well pleased with his new location and will remain for some time. Mr. W. E. FRAZER and family who are in the same county, are also doing well. We are glad to learn that the lines of our Adair county friends have been thrown in pleasant places. Mr. G. W. MURRAY and others, Montpelier, Adair county, Kentucky, will leave for Oklahoma in the month of February. They want other parties who are going to leave for the strip to go in with them; charter a car, thereby getting their stock and plunder shipped much cheaper. Mr. Henry S. ROBERTSON, who was born and reared in Campbellsville, and who is a lawyer of considerable reputation, will leave his old home and locate in Somerset. Miss Mary POWELL, of Lincoln county, who is said to be a handsome young woman and very popular, was married to Mr. W. G. WITHERS at the home of her father, Capt. B. F. Powell, Wednesday of last week. Capt. Powell is a native of Adair county and did not remove to Lincoln county until after the close of the war between the States. His second wife is a daughter of Mr. H. P. WILLIS, of this county. >From Glensfork---John HELM, our blacksmith, will move to Russell Springs in a few days. Mr. Helm is an excellent workman and will be greatly missed by the people of this section. >From Glensfork---W. C. TAYLOR and F. A. ROSENBAUM left for New Albany, Ind., Wednesday. They will work for the J. R. Florida book concern of Nashville. >From Pellyton: Mr. P. H. ZEARBAUGH and wife left for Indiana Wednesday morning. James W. and Robt. WALKER, who left a few weeks ago for the Texas, landed O.K. with right side up and are pleased with the country. John ROACH, won of M. W. Roach, who left here several weeks ago with his father's family for Texas, is dangerously sick with fever. Grief, caused by the death of a young wife, caused Robert E. Lee PRYOR, of Eastbank, W. Va., to send a bullet to his brain. J. Kelley GAULDIN, a commercial traveler committed suicide Friday night at the New Richmond Hotel, in Paducah, by taking morphine. Gauldin was in love with a Tennessee woman who had discarded him, and his suicide was the culmination of a protracted spree. William PORTER was shot and killed by Moses SMITH, near Dunbar, W. V. Their families had quarreled.

In the Western portion of the county lived Alfred AUSTIN, a worthy and industrious farmer. He was a married man with a family of wife and several children. They all lived together on the farm of Mrs. Malvina CALDWELL. -On Christmas eve, Austin left home for this city to purchase some holiday goods, and the mysterious part of it that he has never returned home. There can be no question that he reached this city, for he bought presents for each member of the family and sent them home to them. They naturally expected that he was detained on business and could arrive home in a day or two. But several days passed and a week, but he did not return. The family began to make an inquiry for him but could learn nothing as to his whereabouts. Still, they kept on hoping that he would return. But up to yesterday he had not come home and not a word had been heard from him. The last heard of him was in this city on Christmas eve. The family are heartbroken and have given him up as lost, fearing that he has been foully dealt with. What makes the mystery all the more mysterious is the fact that his relations, with his family, were of the most amicable nature, and it is not believed that he would intentionally remain away from them. Mr. Eugene MONTGOMERY, who left here with his family several weeks ago, has located at Pilot Point, Texas. He writes the News that he has been employed by a Railroad Company. Measels (sic) is prevalent at Milltown and Cane Valley. Fifteen or twenty cases at each place. Bery YOUNG, son of Mr. George A. Young, died at Anchorage last Saturday night. His remains were brought home for interment. Willie MONDAY, a little son of Mrs. Nannie Monday, Knifley, this county, was bitten by a mad dog last week. He was carried to a mad-stone and it stuck a number of times. At the close of the holidays a marriage, somewhat out of the ordinary, occurred in Taylor county just over the Adair line. About two years ago, Mr. William GADDIE was kicked by a mule, dying in a few days thereafter. He left his second wife, a handsome woman. His son, by his first wife, twenty-eight years old, soon fell in love with his step-mother, and after a courtship of eighteen months, they were happily married. All the parties are respectable people. Invitations to the marriage of Mr. E. W. HOPEWELL, the popular livery man of this city, to Miss Pearl HENDRICKSON, Cane Valley, have been issued. The ceremony will take place at the home of the intended bride, Tuesday evening, January 29, 1901 at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Hopewell is a native of Spencer county Mr. Lawson W. HARDEN, who resides in this county and Miss Manlie M. VIER, of Taylor county, were married last Thursday. John Matthew ROYSE, some of Mr. Jomes D. Royse, who has been living in Missouri for a number of years, committed suicide by hanging at the home of his father, one day last week. It was first reported that his father was the one who suicided. John DICKERSON, Susan CHAMBERS, Jesse Dickerson, and S. T. Dickerson, three brothers and one sister, two in Lincoln county, one in Adair, and one in Russell are very old persons, their combined ages being 348, averaging about 84 each.

He was 105 years old his last birthday and is enjoying splendid health. His eyesight is good and he frequently goes alone five and six miles from home. He was born and reared in Adair county near where the town of Glenville is located. Mr. Wm. L. FARRIS, one of Adair county's best citizens, is thus situated: He lives two miles from Cane Valley and twenty years ago he occupied the brick house on his farm now used for a grainery (sic). Two rooms of this house are in Adair county, one in Taylor and one in Green. The dwelling he now occupies is in Adair, but his farm is in three counties. His county taxes, by special act are paid to Adair county alone, though the lines show that his farm lies about equally in the three counties. Mr. C. R. CABELL, a prominent young farmer and trader at Camp Knox, Green county, will be married at 12 m. today to Miss Lynn DOWDY, a highly accomplished young lady, daughter of Mr. Tom Dowdy, who resides near Greensburg. Mr. A. C. JEFFRIES Dead-Last Sunday morning at the hour of 9 o'clock the spirit of Mr. A. C. Jeffries (Cook) went to God who gave it. The deceased had been in poor health for three years, but was able to look after his business affairs until fifteen days ago when he was stricken with pneumonia, both lungs being involved. He had close medical attention, and made a heroic fight for life, but the deadly disease proved the stronger, and at the hour above named he breathed his last. The deceased was a son of Mr. T. P. Jeffries. He was born in Russell county, but reared in Adair. Had he lived until the 6th day of April next he would have been forty-nine years old. His wife is a sister of Mr. T. P. DUNBAR and besides her the deceased leaves ten children. He was a good citizen, devoted husband and an indulgent father. He will be greatly missed from the neighborhood where he so long resided.

Jan. 12, 1901. Editor News The most shocking accident that ever happened to sadden the hearts of our citizens occurred last night, between seven and eight o'clock, the life and residence of uncle Frank IRVIN being destroyed by fire. The only inmates of the building were the unfortunate old man, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. H. S. Irvin, and an old darkey. When it was know that the house was on fire the feeble old man was conducted safely out of the burning building, by his daughter-in-law, but in the excitement that followed the old man was lost sight of. It is thought that he remembered something of value that was in his trunk upstairs and in trying to save it, was overcome by the heat and smoke, and fell near the place where his trunk was setting. A search was made of the lower part of the building, but the upper story, all in flames, could not be entered. So ended the life of the oldest and most respected citizen of our county. Everybody is in sympathy with the bereaved family. T.L. Higginbottom Death of Dr. STONE, -- Dr. William David STONE, of Liberty, Ky., went quietly to rest January 7, 1901 after a hard battle for life. -- Dr. Stone was born in Adair county, Ky., Oct. 11, 1827, where he grew to manhood, studied medicine and began his practice. In 1852 he came to Liberty where he resided until his death, excepting during the time he served in the war of '61-'65, as assistant surgeon. In 1854, Jan. 1st, he married Miss Lucy HALTCLAW, who with his two sons, Will and Joshua, survive him. Early in life he was converted and joined the Methodist church at Breeding, Adair county, Ky., where his membership remained. Dr. Stone was a true christian man in spirit and practice, with no denominational feeling, with fixed purposes and principles, he lived what he professed. His son, Joshua, was called home from Washington City some ten days before his death and remained with him to the end. His remains were carried to Hustonville, and after brief services by Eld. J. Q. MONTGOMERY, were buried by the Masonic Fraternity, many being present. Another good man is gone. We extend our sympathy to his family and mourn his loss, but not without hope. J. Q. M. Dr. W. D. Stone, who died at Liberty last week, was a native of Adair county if we are correctly informed. Uriah STONE, who died many years ago, and Stephen STONE, who removed to Illinois some time since were his brothers. James STONE, another brother resides in Adair county at this time. Doctor Stone was seventy years old and left a fair estate. The wife of Mr. George JOHNSON, of Cane Valley, was before Judge J. W. BUTLER on a lunacy charge. The lady did not appear in person, the case being tried on the affidavits of attending physicians. She was adjudged and will be carried to Anchorage. Mr. P. L. TYLER, of Lee county, Va., who sojourned in this section a year or so ago, was married on Christmas day to Miss Dora WHITT, an estimable young lady of Powell's Valley, Va. Mrs. Elizabeth PARRIGIN, who lives in Clinton county, near Albany, was 104 year old last Friday. She was born in Tennessee in the year 1797, and has lived under every President of the United States since the formation of the Government. At this writing she is in fine health, but apprehends that she will not live through the present century, as age is creeping upon her. >From the Moody Texas Courier -- Mr. H. K. PICKETT, of Honey Grove, was married last Wednesday, the 9th at 7 o'clock, to Miss Sallie NELL, at the residence of Mrs. Charlotte PATTERSON, Rev. W. R. THORNTON officiating. The wedding was very quiet, only a few of the friends being present. The groom is a son of Hon. Wash Pickett, of Adair county Ky., well known to most all the Kentuckians here. He is an honest, upright gentleman. The bride is well known here, and is one of the very best women. She is of a retiring nature, but one of the purest and best of her sex. This marriage takes on a little of the romance, as the couple had not seen each other for nineteen years, until the day of their marriage. But they were children together, and were sweethearts when they were very small. A correspondence had been kept up for a long time, and the constancy of a lover's heart has consumated a union for life. May God's richest blessings be upon their lives. Perhaps some of the older citizens of Adair county remember Dr. Thomas B. JOHNSTON. He was born in this county in 1817, and died at Memphis, Tenn., December 29, 1900. He was a brother of Mr. S. D. Johnston, a former citizen of Columbia, who has been residing in Louisville for about forty years. S. D. Johnston is the only surviving member of the family and he is old and quite feeble. The following births and deaths occurred in Adair county from the 15th of Sept. 1899 to Sept. 15, 1900: Births,-white males, 164; white females, 170; black males, 15; black females, 10. Total, 359. Deaths, -- white males, 53; white females, 72; black males, 9; black females, 15. Total 149. The above interesting figures were handed us by Mr. G. A. BRADSHAW, the efficient Assessor of Adair county. Mr. A. W. PAXTON, a young farmer of Green county, was married this (Wednesday) forenoon at 10 o'clock to Miss Nona PRICE, who lives a few miles from Columbia. . The couple will reside in Green county. The honor of officiating in the marriage of Mr. William DOWELL and Miss Viola BAUGH, of Jamestown, was conferred upon Rev. Goodman, this place. >From Irvin's Store-Mr. H. Mc. BEATH bought property near Steubenville, Wayne county, and has removed to that place. Mr. Mc. Beath was a good neighbor and we regretted his leaving this vicinity. >From Irvin's Store-Dr. R. W. HARRIS has removed from this place and located near Steubenville. Will HUGHES, a respected colored boy, died on the 11th with dropsy. He was 22 years old. William BURTON, of Oldham county, committed suicide by taking a large dose of morphine and sixty grains of quinine. In Memory of Nellie-The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter ARMSTRONG: All of Creelsboro and adjoining neighborhoods were saddened by her death which occurred last Sunday night week at 12 o'clock. She had been ill for several weeks, but under that terrible disease, typhoid fever, her young life was soon won away, leaving to her many relatives and friends only her lifeless remains and a most sacred memory of her gentleness of ways, her meeekness (sic) of spirit, her kindness of heart and her purity of life, that will ever be an assurance to them, that when she passed into the great beyond it was to a place in that restful home of the soul. She leaves a little sister who will miss her, and the grief stricken father, mother and relatives have the sympathy of their host of friends here. The remains were interred in the Campbell graveyard. -- Sleep on, dear Nellie, Thou art at rest, God called thee home, When he thought best. Sallie Barnes. Creelsboro, Ky., Jan. 10, 1901. James CARNETT, employed in a saw-mill at Pineville, was caught in the machinery and both arms were torn off. He will die. Nellie MORRIS, aged eighteen years, was brutally assaulted at Hackney, Ohio, by Walter WENSTOCK. He attacked the girl with a razor, and in the struggle which followed, she was frightfully cut on the face, neck, arms and hands. The girl will die. Mrs. American Bayton ROGERS, of Robertson county, was burned to death last week. She attempted to carry a pan of burning grease from the stove out the kitchen door. Her clothing was ignited and she died in excruciating agony. In Williams county, Ohio, Wayne CROWELL and Charles CANAN were killed by being struck by a train. Mrs. CANAN, on being notified of the accident, died from the shock. E. Von SUTTON, on of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of Jackson Miss., committed suicide by shooting himself through the brain. To shield his mother from abuse and save himself from a beating with a poker, Albert ALBERTSEN, of Chicago, aged 17 years, shot and killed his father. At Washington, Ind., Carl SMILEY, the eleven-year-old son of Dr. P. M. SMILEY, was shot through the brain and killed by John COSTELLO, his twelve-year-old playmate.

NEWSPAPER: Adair County News, Apr. 17, 1901 http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/ky+index+31271300+F File contributed by: Carol Moody Some items of genealogical interest from THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS Wednesday, 17 Apr 1901 Killing of John DENTON Occurred at Glasgow Junction Barren County, Twenty Years Ago Tried Seven Times Some time ago, we published an account of the suicide in this city of Stephen LOVEALL, who was said to be im??iled to the act by worrying over the act of his having killed a man years ago at Glasgow Junction. Hon. Lewis McQUOWN, of this city, is conversant with the facts of the killing, having been one of the attorneys who defended LOVEALL. The circumstances of the killing were about as follows: -- An election for constable was on at Glasgow Junction about twenty years ago and there was a large crowd of people in town, among them LOVEALL and a man named DENTON. Living in the town at the time was an old shoemaker, who conducted a blind tiger in his shop and dealt out whisky on the sly to all thirsty ones. On the day of the election LOVEALL had made several visits to the shop, as had DENTON, and it happened that the former was standing in from of the shop when DENTON, who was a perfect stranger to him, the men never having seen each other before that day, LOVEALL having only a short time before moved to the vicinity of Wayne county, came along, and stopping at the shop, tried to open the door, but found it locked. LOVEALL, in a spirit of fun, said to him, "Scratch under." It angered DENTON in an instant to be thus addressed by a stranger, and he turned quickly around and asked LOVEALL if he wanted to fight. The latter replied to the effect that he would just as soon have a round with him as not, and the two men doffed their coats and were getting ready to go at it hammer and tongs, when bystanders interferred (sic) and stopped the fight. They stopped it, but a few minutes, however, for DENTON went into the street, which had only a short while before been macadamized and was covered with loose stones, and picking up his hands full commenced to fire them at LOVEALL, who stood dodging like a "di-dapper," but when DENTON picked up a new supply of the stones and commenced to hurl them again, LOVEALL thought it about time for him to "return the fire" and he did so, his first stone striking DENTON on the side of the head, knocking him down. The onlookers by this time interferred (sic) and DENTON was able to get up and go home, and LOVEALL was arrested, charged with malicious striking and wounding, and taken before judge W. GOSSOM, who was the police judge at the Junction. The trial resulted in LOVEALL being dismissed, but about ten days later, DENTON died and LOVEALL was afterwards indicted for murder. There was a large connection of DENTON's in Barren county, and they bitterly prosecuted LOVEALL, the late Colonel Jas. J. BATES, at that time one of the leading lawyers of Southern Kentucky, being retained to assist in the prosecution. Col. BATES was a close personal friend of the DENTON's and is said to have prosecuted the case with all the vigor he could command. -- The case was in court at Glasgow before Judge GARNETT for a long time, and was tried seven different times. LOVEALL was represented by Mr. McQUOWN, Major BOTTS and Judge BOLES, and Mr. McQUOWN made six different speeches in the case. Owing to a certain instruction given by Judge GARNETT, and which has since been reversed by the Court of Appeals, it was difficult to acquit LOVEALL, though on every trial a very considerable majority of the jury were for acquittal and it was not until the seventh trial that he was finally acquitted. Col. BATES made his last speech in the case sitting in a chair and it is said to have been one of the best and most powerful he ever delivered. ---Bowling Green Times. "Asleep In The Arms Of Jesus" On Monday morning, March 25, at 10:30, the grim reaper 'Death' entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Billie SPEER and claimed as its own the spirit of one of their brightest jewels their youngest daughter, Miss Nannie. For four weeks she had cheerfully and patiently yielded to the grasp of that fatal disease consumption. She was in her 23d year and had been a faithful member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church from childhood. Nannie was a devoted sister, a kind and obedient daughter, and a loving companion. She leaves a broken hearted father, step-mother, brothers and two sisters to mourn her departure. While we do not understand the dealings of Providence, we feel that this death has left a void that no one on earth can fill. It was not until Sunday preceding her death that she seemed to realize that her stay upon earth was numbered by hours. She spoke of meeting her mother and sister "beyond the river" where all is peace and happiness. Her mother crossed he chilly waters when she was an infant. Her sister, Mrs. Tommie SMITH, wife of Alex. SMITH, preceded her two years ago. On Sunday she asked her brother-in-law what message she must take to Tommie. A dark day will come to every home; but it should be a sweet trouble to this family in their hours of bereavement to give up to Him who doeth all things well, and who guardeth His loved ones against any thing that would mar their happiness. While here she was cared for by earthly parents, but what is that compared with the care of a heavenly parent. She is now asleep in Jesus, resting on flowery beds of ease, dreaming of the sweet angel that bore her across silvery waters ond (sic) nestled her in the arms of the Saviour. While we know her name is written in pure gold in the lamb's book of life, we feel that we should not mourn her loss but rather rejoice. Were the power given her she would look down on the grief stricken family and say, "Weep not for me, but live uprightly in the sight of God, that you may be able to meet me in heaven where parting is no more." To her father she would say: "Papa, I can no longer comfort you, but not many years hence or perhaps days your voice will be mingling with your departed loved ones." --The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. W. WELLS at Liberty Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 and the remains were interred in the Liberty cemetery to await the resurrection. Henceforth she will be numbered with the redeemed and shall be called blessed. Peace to her soul. The bereft family have our deepest sympaty (sic) in this their hour of sorrow. Little did we think of parting just one year ago. This will of God must be revealed. It is sure, but sometimes slow. Nannie is no more earthly, But an angel pure and bright, She is not dead but sleepeth, In a land of pure delight. Lille and Pearl. Obituary On the 2d day of April the death angel visited the home of Mrs. Isabell WORNER, in this county, and took from her loving care a jewel, her daughter, Zona. Her death was due to that most dreaded disease, consumption, being confined to her bed since Christmas. Zona was born Nov. 16, 1884, professed faith in Christ between 12 and 13 years of age and lived a happy Christian life. She was patient and cheerful and when she died her hands were raised towards heaven and a sweet smile was on her face. Her admonitions to those left behind and her many expressions of joy in the door of death are priceless treasures to her mother and the whole amily. She seemed to realize the beauties and glories of heaven and we doubt not but this girl was permitted to see into the land of endless day while in the agonies of death. While we cannot understand the dealings of Providence; while the most precious ones are taken in the bloom of youth and our homes saddened and our hopes shattered, yet all things work for good to those who love the Lord. By this death gloom hovers over this home; her presence will be missed; but she is far better off in a home of perfect and endless joy. A.J.C. The negro, Quinn, who murdered officer CRUM at Danville, has been captured and has confessed his guilt. Gen Thos. H. TAYLOR, who was a distinguished Confederate soldier, and who served in the Mexican war, died at Louisville last week. He was formerly Chief of Police of the city. So highly esteemed was Mr. John T. CRUM, the officer, who was murdered by a negro at Danville, a few nights ago, the citizens of the place in a very few hours subscribed $1,500, for the benefiit (sic) of his family, several persons giving as much as $100 each. Up to Saturday night, the negro had not been captured, but the indications are that he will soon be in the clutches of the law. A terrible fight occurred in Letcher county last week between officers and the REYNOLDS-POTTER gang, indicted for the murder of Mrs. Mina HALL and her son. Over three hundred shots were fired. Two of the officers were killed and one of the outlaws were wounded. The County Judge made a request for soldiers, but it was decided not to send then, the very latest news stating that the trouble had somewhat quieted. Mr. J. W. PEMBERTON, of Barren county, who recently located at Guthrie, O. T., was set upon by highwaymen a few days ago and beaten to death. Mr. PEMBERTON was enroute for a doctor, his daughter-in-law being very sick/ Mr. Solomon McFARLAND, who lost his wife a few days ago, deserves and is receiving they sympathy of his friends throughout the county. He has not only been bereft of a devoted wife, but is left with eight children, the oldest being twelve years of age, the youngest ten days. At Rest Miss Rosaline Owsley HAYS, daughter of Hon. Joseph E. and Mrs. Mary A. HAYS, was born in Jamestown, Ky., March 16, 1869, and died in the same town at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sophia STONE, April 11, 1901. Her mother died when she was but ten weeks old, and consequently she never knew the fond love of a mother, but she had in her a kind and loving heart, which manifested itself in her words and actions to those with whom she mixed and mingled. When but sixteen years old she united with the Christian church, and for a time did not show that marked devotion to her Lord and Master, that she did in her latter years. Many years ago she became fully awakened to the importance of a close walk with God, and sought, and I believe obtained the blessing of perfect love. This greatly sweetened her life, and gave her an humble boldness to speak and work for her Master as she could not do before. She had an ardent love for souls, and in some way was constantly endeavoring to lead men and women to Christ. In a letter to her from a lady friend in Stanford, Ky., in whose home she had spent sometime, received after her death, there is a reference to her pure life which has touched the life of her family for good. Many, no doubt, could say the same. She was sprightly in mind; a woman of culture; but above all labored and prayed to be like her Lord and Saviour. About four years ago she joined the Methodist church, feeling that she was more in harmony with the doctrines of said church; but she still loved the church of which she was first a member, and in fact loved all of God's people. She was a devoted temperance worker; was President last year of the W.C.T.U. in Jamestown, and at the time of her death was a district officer. As she drew neat to death her sister told her she would soon see loved ones on the othershore (sic), and she said, yes, but Jesus first of all. Still later she asked Jesus to stand by her and said, "I know he will." --All was done for her kind hands could do, and she never failed to show her appreciation of her friend's tireless efforts to care for her. Frequently she would say to her sister, whose devotion to her was beautiful, "God bless you sister?" --She died without a struggle, as though she was going to sleep. Her funeral service was held by the writer. May God lay his loving arms around the bereaved ones, and give them the consolation of His grace. Jesse L. MURRELL Dead Mrs. Solomon McFARLAND, who resided with her husband near the Campbellsville pike, four miles from Columbia, died last Friday morning. She was a daughter of Mr. Wiley LONG, who resides on Cumberland river, Russell county, and was a lady highly respected. Her death was a surprise to all her friends, as she was in splendid health until about a week before her demise. She leaves besides her husband several children, the youngest being seven or eight days old. --The remains were carried to Rowena for interment. Victim of Consumption Mr. Thos. MURRAH, who resided at Cane Valley, this county, died with pulmonary trouble on Tuesday, the 9th of this month. He was about forty-eight years old and was born and reared in Adair. For several years he had been running a team between Columbia and Campbellsville, and was well known to all the people along the line. He leaves a wife and family of children. The remains were interred at Cane Valley, many frends (sic) attending the last rites. Rev. John W. LOVING, formerly pastor of the Campbellsville Baptist Church, but for the past eighteen months the preacher in charge of the Glasgow church, will be married tomorrow to Miss Mary H. DICKINSON, a popular young lady of the capital of Barren county. Mr. John CRUM, a policeman, and a fearless officer, was murdered by a negro named Quinn in Danville Wednesday night the 10th. The negro was running a "blind tiger" and the officer entered his place for the purpose of arresting him. The dead officer was a first cousin of Mr. Geo. R. FOLLIS, this place. We desire to extend our sympathy to Mr. McC. GOODE, of Campbellsville, who has lately been grieved by the death of his father, Mr. John GOODE. The end came on Friday, the 5th day of this month, at Mannsville, Taylor county. Mr. GOODE was about 62 years of age, and was an excellent citizen. If we are correctly informed the deceased was reared on Casey's creek, this county, and leaves many relatives and friends in and about Roley. In her 83d Year Mrs. Susan INGRAM, wife of the late James INGRAM, after a lingering illness of several weeks, died at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. Frank RICE, Cane Valley, last Monday. She was a very estimable old lady and had been a consistent Christian for many years. She was a sister of Messrs. James and William PAGE, who live in the neighborhood of Cane Valley, and an aunt of Messrs. Jas. T. and W. J. PAGE, of Columbia. The remains were interred yesterday, a great many relatives and friends attending the funeral. The children of the deceased yet living, to our knowledge are, Walter and F. I. INGRAM, the former living in Illinois, the latter near Cane Valley, and Mrs. ROBERTSON, who resides on Green river. The 5th day of this month was Mr. Lewis TRIPLETT's 79th anniversary. It has been a custom for several years to celebrate the event by spreading an elegant dinner, having all his children present. Upon this occasion, Mrs. W. T. GRANT, Louisville, did not reach here, but Mr. A. B. GOWDY and wife, Dr. Jas. TRIPLETT, wife and daughter, Campbellsville; Miss Minnie and Mr. J. F. TRIPLETT were present.

Leslie BOTTOM preached the first Sunday and also united Mr. Willie DARNEL and Miss Stella CASKEY in the holy bonds of matrimony, at the brides home. --A very large crowd attended the funeral and burial of Mr. John V. GOODE, conducted by Eld. W. G. MONTGOMERY. Mr. GOODE was a highly respected citizen of Casey Creek. Henry PICKRELL, of Carlisle, who died last week, was one of two brothers and five sisters whose combined ages were 639 years, and the average age 91 and 2-7 years. All were vigorous up to the time of death, and the mental faculties were clear to the last. A pathetic scene was enacted in the Circuit Court at Bloomington, Ind., when Mrs. Mollie FISHER, aged eighty, appeared as a witness and asked a divorce from her husband, William FISHER, aged 81. Both were so feeble that they went to the witness stand with difficulty. The husband said he had been kept from his home for over fifty years because a son had treated him cruelly and abused him and the mother took the son's part. The old father went to the home of a daughter. She asked for $3,000 alimony. The Judge refused to take action, and said that the trouble would soon forever be settled by the great Master, as both were on the verge of eternity.
