Hello, I just seen your inquiry and to tell you honestly I dont know if Breathitt Co has a historical journal or not, but if you are seeking information on some of the names that I scanned you can email them directly at the Breathitt Co library and it is available through the Breathitt Co webpage. Lots of luck Joyce Clemons Neace

Greetings to all from sunny Texas, ( A little too sunny ) Once again I turn to all my friends in research land. I am looking for the lyrics to the "Ballad of John Bolyne" as my father spells it. I know Merle Travis recorded a version of this "traditional" Appalachian song. What I need is the lyrics. If anyone has them I would appreciate it very much if they could be shared. Regards, and Happy Hunting, R. Edward Vires " All that is neccessary for Evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Instead of using wood frames try plastic,

Plastic was of course my first idea, but there is none to be found within a 25 mile radius up here in Atlanta, Indiana..... if you know a place that carries plastic picture frames for sure... please let me know. I will go and stock up, it is a great idea with the plastic,,,but I cannot find them... truly...

Did you by chance take any pictures? I lost my husband 3 weeks ago..that sounds like the perfect solution until the permanent marker comes in. Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Di W. To: KYBREATH-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 3:10 PM Subject: [KYBREATH-L] Gravestone Markers I had a great idea for a short term idea for gravemarkers. The "shelf life" will probably only be about 3 years, at most 5. I am going to place at the foot of Granny Sally Collins Estep-Turner's grave in the Clare Barger Cemetery a gravestone. I am placing the same kind of temporary gravestone on my gggrandparents at the Granville Barger Cemetery. I took picture frames and used a wood sealer and painted them all over several times, I then took a sheet of 8 x 10 pretty paper and typed on the computer the info... then laminated the paper, put it in the frame behind the regular glass. DO NOT use plexiglass.....the man at the Hardward Store said that plexiglass yellows and looks awful after awhile. SO I am taking a chance on the glass not breaking.. After putting the laminated paper in the frame, I then used rubber cement to close the seal around the frame where the back goes on. I bought several little pretty picture frames ( like at Dollar General) and took the cardboard off, they are the decorations, then used the sealer on them, some are heart shaped, or have little birds and country charms around them... very sweet. I bought small cement paving stones, used the cement sealer to paste the frame and other little pretties on, then used a $1 can of Dollar General Clear Paint and spray painted over all. The lamination should hold and be water proof. I do not want to place anything ""junky"" on the graves, but these are pretty and last longer than silk flowers will. Just a thought. The whole process takes about a week to let the frames, and cement sealer to set. My grandfather Jess Estep-Turner is buried in a small hard to get cemetery that I cannot reach with my legs as bad as they are. ( I was going to try, but its hard to find, and up and down mountain logging trails...) I thought it was sad that Jess and Sally could not be in the same cemetery so this is a little way to put them together... Di Wells --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

I can post the pictures after Memorial Day, I am getting ready to head south. The hard part is sealing the wooden picture frames. It takes 24 hours between each coat. I just wanted to make sure that water damage was kept at a minimum. I am so very sorry for your loss, God bless. Di Wells --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!

Arrena may be buried, according to her dea cert at Athol, KY. Can someone that has cemetery info find anything on her burial for me? She could be buried with other Hill family and/or her husband Joel who died in the 1880s in Lee Co., KY. I've been told that the Athol Cemetery is located in Breathitt or near the line? Thanks for any help. Marge

Ginny: I have in my database Steve King and Nellie Miller also. I know my family also has Taulbee connections, and I'll contact my cousin who I heard has researched Taulbee's. Is your Uncle Steven King the son of Zachary Taylor King and Dulcenia Smith? Steven's sister, Lillie Frances, was my grandmother. Lillie Frances married James Edward Gillum. And the last I heard, Steven's brother William King, is still alive---in his 90's. I met him a few years ago and he still had some memories of this King family! These are descendants of Lightly King. There was a photo published in The Kentucky Explorer of a group of people, which had many Kings, including Zachary Taylor King, Taulbees and many more. Did you see that photo? I'll look it up if you haven't seen it. ==Vanessa (Cumby) Pozsgai VRBBlake@aol.com wrote: >I have an Uncle Steve King who married my Aunt Neillus Miller.

She was some old lady, ~g~.........used to drive me crazy. I was just a kid, and she always wanted a kiss. Well, our family wasn't very open with affection or feelings, and it always embarrassed me. Do you have a scanner? I'd like a copy of Sylvania's deathe certificate, to send to my uncle in Tenn. He too always thought she was grandpa's half-sister. I called my mom tonight and told her. She was wondering if Frank was related to Lulie Cockerham, who md. my g-uncle, Richmond Brewer. Was Sarah a mid-wife? I've heard that before. If she is the same one, she delivered my cousin. And she told my cousin's mother that Green was her father. That's as good a proof as we're going to get, if it was straight from Sarah herself! I have the info somewhere, but as I've taken in my 3 grandchildren to raise, I can't find anything right now. We're almost done with the 2 extra bedrooms, then they'll be moving their things out of my computer room, and I can get straightened out again, and be able to find things. If Green was her father, then we share a g-grandfather. Ugg, tho'. I don't like a thing I've heard about him. I have loads of stories I've written down, for my book I'm doing. Grandpa used to sit on the porch step, light his pipe, and tell us stories for hours. I want to preserve them for my grandchildren. Do you have Sarah's mother's name? Also, Floyd and Boyd were twins, both born on the same day. I keep getting them mixed up, when telling stories, but one died in a fire in Campton Ky. He was trying to crawl to the window to get out, but didn't make it. There's a lot more to the story, but I'd have to look at my notes. I wonder how Golden knew? Woodrow didn't even know, at one time. They may have found out later. To me, Woodrow was one of the most wonderful people in the world. He helped my uncles spoil me rotten. Grandma raised me, so I saw a lot of Woodrow, since he lived with them for a while. The last time I saw him, he walked into the living room. I jumped up, not knowing what to think, not recognizing him at first. He grabbed me around the waist and started swinging me around until I was dizzy. [easy to do, since I'm only 5' tall, with my shoes on, lol]. It wasn't until he spoke that I knew it was him, then I started screaming his name and laughing. When grandpa and grandma died in a car wreck, I tried for days to find him, but I couldn't. I didn'tknow where he's moved to. I don't remember Golden, but know her granddaughter. She's in a nursing at the edge of Campton. I visited her. I want to go again, as she said she had lots of family pictures. She was really nice, but paraylized from the neck down, due to a car hitting her. I felt so sorry for her, but she was cheerful. I really loved it in Campton. Felt as if almost everyone was a cousin, either a Brewer or a Hatton, or md. into the family. They were really nice. Well, I do tend to go on and on, don't I? ~g~ so, enough for now........go glad you contacted me. Hope we can keep in touch..................I've got so many brick walls, still want to go back to Ky and find Sally Hatton's parents. She was Green's mother, but can't find nothing saying she and Isom were md. Seems that Green's father was just like him. He left Sally for Polly Simpson, left her for another woman, and on and on. I found one relative that had 12 wives!! He followed the mormons out west, and I guess joined up with Brigham Young! Also, seems they all loved a good fight, too! I've got that temper, but over the years have learned to controll it [I hope, ] Well, I really go to go now. got to get up early and get my granddaughter off to school.............ttul................Wanda
