For those of you who enjoy the history of Bell Co, you might be interested in reading the most recent issue of the Gateway, the journal of the Bell Co Historical Society that has just been mailed to members. In it are articles relating to Arthur Campbell of Middlesboro; a history of the Church of God Mtn Assembly; Martin Gibbons's reminisces of life at Cubbage in the 1940's; an account of the murder of Queen of the Rhine prostitute, Alice Lamb; a short, 1930 sketch of the KU ice plant; a history of the Jacksons of Laurel Hill by Rutha Jackson; and a query list. The cover of the Gateway, which features a silhouette of Daniel Boone on a horse riding through the Gap, was drawn by Ricky Leach who descends from Wm Partin. Wm, b 1760-1770, is the first Partin who settled at Frakes in what was called South America in order to farm and look for Swift's silver. He was unlucky with finding the silver. Information for the society is as follows: PO Box 1344 Middlesboro, KY 40965 606-242-0005 bellhist_society@hotmail.com Further, if you're in Middlesboro at any time, please plan to stop in to visit the Bell Co Historical Museum which is located beside the coal house on 20th St. We have recently received a wealth of rare Bell Co pictures and postcards donated by Roy Frost, formerly of Bell Co. He purchased a majority of them from the estate of Jack Sharpe. Also, David Hurst of Middlesboro donated a huge scrapbook of memorabilia relating to Ig and Ug Fuson of Middlesboro. Ig and Ug descend from James Robinson Fuson, Jr and Lucinda Evans of Little Clear Creek. The Fusons first came to Clear Creek in the very early 1800's and settled beside the Evans family.
