I will give the certificate to someone who has a need for it. Butler, who was born July 2, 1870, was the son of Robert Butler and Jo Lewis. The informant on the certificate was Ruth Hanks of Trammel, KY whom I believe to be William's daughter. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi! http://scanlinevfx.de/-redirect?wasurjmowiso26855163

The e-mail from le-powell is a hacked address. Do not click on the link please. Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

The Cave was discovered in 1802, but was little explored till 1812, when it was resorted to for saltpetre. There is, however, no sulphur or volcanic specimen. For many years the traveller (being stopped by the Bottomless Pit!) could only advance three miles. Across this pit a ladder was finally thrown, and Stephen himself fearlessly explored the remaining six miles. Speak of discovering new countries, but to find them beneath the earth! Large bones of men and animals were dug out by the miners in looking for saltpetre. These gave the name to the Cave; but having been all re-buried they cannot now be found. A dog can never be persuaded to enter the Cave any distance, but soon runs howlilng back. Stephen's two companions in many an expedition, a brace of noble pointers, will never follow him beneath the ground, no matter what persuasion or caresses he may use. There are several rivers; I recollect only the names of three: Styx, Lethe and Echo. The fish and crawfish in them are white and perfectly eyeless. The crickets in the Cave however have eyes, and appear much pleased to see our lights. The streams appear to be connected with Green River, for several eyeless fish have been caught in the latter, after a great wise of water in the Cave. Generally the rivers are perfectly placid and still, mostly about twenty feet deep, but when the water rises, as it does after a heavy rain, the guide says they run with terrible swiftness. The water is cold and has a greenish appearance. I was not quite sure, but thought it slightly impregnated with phosphorus. The average height of the ceiling is thirty feet in the avenues, but some of the rooms are fifty, sixty and even seventy feet high, and still more broad. There is little or no feeling of danger; every thing is so roomy, and looks so strong, that one does not dream of fear. The walking is very rough for the ladies, but the air is bracing, and the weaker sex have endured the dangers and fatigues as often and as bravely as the stronger. But remember, ladies, if you go in parties, that the Cave is so dark that one cannot see well what the others do, and the gentlemen necessarily show uncommon gallantry. To the wealthy I say, visit the Mammoth Cave before you waste your strength in the follies of Europe, and perhaps its grandeur will excite in your mind a thirst for a greater existence than that of a petit-maitre at Paris. To the poor I say, go to sleep over this my narrative and dream yourselves far away, floating down the Echo River, or poetizing in the Star Chamber, and you will wake a refreshed if not a wiser man. There are but two freaks of nature in this our beloved America, that should be visited in the same year, or mentioned in the same breath: The Niagara Falls and the "Mammoth Cave." Thus ends the story of a New York "city slicker" who at first rather turned up his nose at our beautiful Kentucky lands. From a bumpy stagecoach ride on a rainy day to the adventures in Mammoth Cave - he seems to have changed a lot. He gained a sense of wonder at what he saw and a great respect for his guide, Stephen. We learned that Stephen had a great sense of humor and a deep knowledge of the cave. I learned that he had two dogs, pointers; I had never seen this mentioned before. I hope this series have whet an appetite in some of you to come visit Mammoth Cave. Words cannot describe its beauty and, unlike 1849, the paths are well lit, the trails well marked and the visitor is quite safe. If you'd like to see some pictures of the cave you can check out various web sites including: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Mammoth+Cave&qpvt=Mammoth+Cave&FORM=IGRE (hundreds of photos old and new or http://www.nps.gov/maca/index.htm Thank you for letting me wander from pure genealogy for a tad and I hope you enjoyed the break!

We're continuing with Stephen and the three tourists in the Star Chamber, in 1849: "Shall I act the giant, and throw a rock against the skies? "he said, having caught the allusion from some traveler; and forthwith picking up a stone, he threw it against the roof of the cave. We broke into a hearty laugh, but will were hardly convinced that those were imitation eyes and not the veritable ones of old mother Night. The deception was made more perfect by the formation of the sides of the cave. These shot up near seventy feet perpendicularly, and then stretched suddenly back horizontally, leaving a ledge between them and the roof. The walls were bright yellow, and on their edge seemed to hang the planets of the upper world, while the ceiling was dark, undefined blue; the exact color of the midnight sky. Those stars were the perfection of imitation, and even glimmered precisely like the originals. They were caused by a very simple arrangement: the lights from the lamps were reflected from pieces of polished substances, mica generally, which were bedded in the stone of the ceiling. This phenomenon was to be seen in no apartment except the Star Chamber. I never again want to pass so dark a night, in reality or metaphor, followed by so deceptive a star light. This Star Chamber was the king of wonders, where the least were princes. I shall never forget that scene, and can even now hardly credit that those were not veritable auger-holes in the world's ceiling. The last apartment of interest was Young's Dome; called, I believe, after the name of him who first owned the cave. We thrust our heads through a little hole in the side of the wall, and on the guide's lighting a Bengal-light, saw a huge dome that extended hundreds of feet above, as well as hundreds of feet below us. The window through which he looked was about half-way down the side. The walls, polished by water that was falling ceaselessly, as it no doubt had been for ages, reflected over and over the rays of light, till daylight seemed to have been reached again. Above, the dome dwindled to its apex, scarce visible at that height, while below it spread out a broad even floor. This apartment was more remarkable from its immense height, about three hundred feet, than for any other feature. It had no such startling peculiarities as much that we had seen. We now wended homeward, discussing the origin of the cave; McCarlin asserting that it must have been created by some great uprising of nature, while Stephen thought it had been caverned out by a stream that, wearing its way in time through the rock, had formed those surprising labyrinths. We re-embarked on Echo River, and made the caves again reverberate to our voices, and even to my pistol. Its report was answered, much to our surprise, by a loud scream, that we recognized at once as coming from ladies. The next instant a boat shot around the corner some distance ahead. Rows of lamps were arranged on both its sides, and looked most fairy-like on thus suddenly emerging from those gloomy recesses. The light fell upon the shining dresses of the ladies, and was reflected from their bright eyes. Another boat filled with gentlemen followed, equally illuminated. We received them with a hurrah, and immediately struck up a negro song, the whole party joining us. Some twenty voices bore the notes far into the deepest of those vaults. All had been so dark and silent before, and now all was so gay and brilliant. There were the long rows of lamps, doubled seemingly by reflection from the water, the gaudy dresses glancing in the light, the long, low, flat boat, the black oarsman, seated at the stern and dipping his paddle noiselessly into the wave, the bright eyes glowing in the dim light, and the merry voices routing old Silence, and pealing forth the call to the stern bleak rocks; it was like a scene conjured by magic from those dismal vaults; as though the fairies of the olden time were risen anew, and floating down their hidden sacred stream, were trilling forth their jovial chorus. As our boats passed, we stopped the song to cheer and wave our handkerchiefs. In a moment more, and the lights, the dresses, the faces, the dingy oarsmen, all were gone; the song faded away in the distance, and darkness and silence had again settled down upon us. To be concluded tomorrow. The readers can remind themselves that this report was written in 1849, a mere 165 years ago!!! Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

We left our cave travelers in the Snowball Room - The recollections of merry youth were renewed by the sight; and I dare say each of us compared the scene before him to some well-remembered spot, where his boyhood had laughed away the merry hours. My mind wandered back to the old farm-house and the great denuded trees before the gate, the rough, almost bare ground, and the forest stripped of its gorgeous summer dress, and exposed uncovered to the wintry storm. I thought of a narrow foot-path and a full, round, stupid moon, and the tracks of dear [sic], delicate little feet, and the glance of a pair of bright eyes that shone with warmth and ardor enough to be a good example for cold, prudish Diana. The Bengal-light slowly faded and faded, then went out, and with it our dreams -- extinguished as lightly as many had been before. Silence was broken; one song to old Winter rang out, and we left the Snowball room, its freezing fancies and recollections of hopes long ago chilled and dead, for something more ardent. Having courageously crossed the Rocky Mountains, without slipping from any of their precipices or falling into any of their caverns, we entered Serena's Arbor. This is the terminus of the cave, nine miles under ground. The Arbor, or "Harbor," as some Englishmen who painted and were exhibiting a map of the cave, called it, is a little circular room, of some twenty feet across and thirty high. It is hung round with drapery of yellow stone, falling in graceful folds. It reminds one much of the descriptions of the mermaids' sub-marine palaces. Perhaps it was the council-chamber of the fays of those underground rivers; for surely there must have been guardians to these streams, as well as to those of the mountains. A rivulet murmurs below, just heard, over its rocky bed; in one corner there is a spring, diamond clear, and in all features is this apartment just fitted for the meetings of little deities, convened to enjoy their sports, pass their rules, or inflict punishment for broken laws. How easy to imagine the watchman cricket ticking twelve, and the gaily-dressed, smiling fairies marching merrily in, only waiting for the prettiest of the band, the queen of Beauty and Love, to take her seat in that niche on either side of which the stone curtain falls so elegantly and gracefully. Then to hear the tiny orators argue their causes and discuss the affairs of their tribe; to listen to the mild, just decrees of the virgin queen; and after business is performed, to look on the merry dance in the charmed ring, or be enchanted by fairy song or fairy minstrelay! When these little rules of the world existed, they must surely have met here, deep in tthe bosom of the earth, in the senate chamber of a world within a world. We now turned back; but branching off into another passage, visited a different portion of the cave. After we had walked for some time, the guide told us to go on alone, while he would wait behind, and to blow out our lights, in order to see how intense the darkness was. We did as directed; and having walked several hundred yards, seated ourselves upon the rocks and extinguished our lamps. My dear reader, are you blind? (an Irish expression, by the way;) for if you are not, you cannot conceive of darkness. Enclose yourself in the darkest room, and you will still have a glimmer of light, an indefinite idea of distinction between the white wall and the dark furniture; wander in the deepest forest at midnight, when clouds enshroud the sky and shut out the stars of heaven, where the leaves and boughs overhead are interwoven in their closet folds; in spite of all, some few erratic beams, a sort of haziness of light, will remain; some suspicion of neighboring objects will exist. Here were we, with our eyes open and nervously strained to their utmost, and yet naught was distinguishable; no indication of the nearest object; white and black were, as some philosophers prove, all the same. How little could I ever before conceive of blindness! Oh! the oppressive, stunning weight! the feeling of unknown, unavoidable, invisible danger! - utter inability to defend one's-self, entire subjection to those who possess this invaluable gift! All recollection of the course we had come was instantly lost; no idea of any thing whatever around us could be retained. If left to find our way out alone, with a light, I should not, even in those endless labyrinths, despair; but without it, in darkness that could be fairly felt, I would rather surrender hope and peaceably lie down than endure the horrors of the attempt at escape. Our feelings were getting somewhat unpleasantly excited, and our conversation, for some time forced, had dwindled away to silence, ere Stephen appeared. The light displayed three pale countenances and three pairs of eyes that had rather more than a natural brilliancy; and yet, in daylight danger there could perhaps scarcely be found three more reckless fellows. Stephen laughed when he saw us stretched along the rocks, and withal so doleful, and walking to one side, covered his lamp in a measure with his cap, and told us to look above us. We did so, and what was our astonishment on seeing the stars shining brightly in the dark heavens! Each rubbed his eyes and looked again. There they were, winking and glimmering, now seen, now gone, so merry and sparkling that they seemed fairly to laugh at us for our folly in not perceiving them before. Old Argus-eyed Night was looking down as calmly and sleepily upon us as ever. I immediately began searching for the North-star, to ascertain the points of the compass; but by some strange accident was not to be found: neither did I recognize any of the groups, and essayed in vain to define any even of the figures with which I was best acquainted. "Very singular!" I muttered, rubbing my eyes again; "where can we be?" I called upom Tom for an explanation, but he was equally perplexed. We were utterly at a loss till the guide's laugh told us there was something wrong. To be continued tomorrow. We are nearing the end of their journey but there are more adventures to go.

Warren County didn't have as many known caves in 1922. See previous posts on source. CRUMP'S CAVE: A mile north of Smiths Grove, is a large sink home, from one side of which extends a cave nearly a mile long. There is abundant room and a good light near the front, and it is reported that quantities of ashes were formerly to be seen on the earth a short distance in. A considerable outside area drains into the cave and the floor at the present time is everywhere so wet as to be quite muddy.The amount of flood water running into the cave is indicated by a gully 4 feet deep and the same in width while trash and driftwood litter the floor from wall to wall for more than a hundred yards. THOMAS CAVE: A mile north of Bowling Green. Roof has fallen in and forms a high mound of rocky debris, down which a path winds on each side giving access toward either end of the cave. Thought to never have been occupied. (by the Native Americans). MILL CAVE: Three miles south of Bowling Green a stream emerges from the foot of a slope, flows a hundred yards through a canyon-like channel, and disappears under a cliff. The open end is large and forms an excellent shelter for cattle. On either side of the stream, under the cliff, is a shelf or projecting ledge, covered with loose stones. Neither is 2 feet higher than the water level in wet season. A lot has changed over the years hasn't it? if you have more information on any of these caves (from any county we're covering) please post to the list! Next week we'll look at Barren Co and there are some I've never heard of! Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
