How very interesting to know the whole story. Since this happened in 1895, and when the "boy" was 17, certainly his life was spared and prison sentence shortened because of his age. Thank you for completing the info. Mary Alice ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

Booker and Annie Bell were second cousins, and she was in a family way. She was 25 and he was 17. Annie Bell's brothers threatened to kill Booker if he wouldn't marry her. Booker was staying with Powell McIntire and late on the evening of Dec. 17, 1895, he took Powell's shotgun, went about half a mile down the road to Annie Bell's house and shot her through a window as she was sitting by a lamp. He then ran down the hill and across Glovers Creek and hid under a bed at his father Hugh Steenbergen's house. A hastily organized posse soon found him and were considering hanging him from a large ash tree on the old Gibson place but Johnny Pickett Harrison persuaded them to surrender him to the authorities in Glasgow. Desire for a lynching was again revived and on the 28th of December a large group of the Capital Hill populace proceeded to Glasgow with plans for revenge (and whiskey) on their minds. Realizing the danger to Booker, and others, Circuit Judge Jones ordered that Booker be transferred to the jail in Louisville. The Sheriff and his party were nearly caught in their dash to the train station with the prisoner but finally made it safely. Booker was convicted, and served time in the Penitentiary at Eddyville. I don't know how many years he spent there but I was told several years ago by an old lady who was related to Annie Bell that Booker was eventually released, went to Missouri, changed his name to Steinberger, and became a successful businessman. She went on to say that he never married, but did raise two orphan boys.

Good morning! Are you ready for another puzzler? Charles has posted the weekly poster; to make a guess, click on the URL in my signature line called gensoup and give it a try! Now - to the brickwall queries. From now until next Monday morning, you may submit ONE brickwall query for someone in your family tree whose SURNAME begins with D, E or F. They need to apply to the counties covered by this list ... either born here or came here. I appreciate all those submitted last week and hope someone helped you! I am limiting it to one query because this is a large list and I don't want it to become overwhelming to the readers. Have a good week gang!

Hi Elaine O' I don't know if this will help. It is a link I received awhile back that shows pictures of grave markers in many cemeteries. I have photos of a large portion of stones there posted at: http://www.so-ky.com/cem/barrencem/A/austin-mtoliv/austin-mtoliv.htm Click on this link and when it brings up the cemetery listing, scroll to the bottom of the page. You can click on these to look at other cemeteries in KY and other locations.

Thanks Sandi for the compliment! I didn't look at it as work, but a chance to get away from work for awhile. I could escape and do something I enjoy.

Charles sent me all of his files and gave me permission to publish them. I am eternally grateful to Charles, not only for his permission, but for the many, many hours he spent copying all these cemeteries.

I can't pin down anything though. I have heard that Eliza and William didn't come from Kentucky, they were born in TN or the Carolina's I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's driven me crazy for 2 years now.
