I am searching for a marriage in Breathitt Co Ky. I am thinking that the marriage had to occur between 1940-1970 I have no clue when it took place. I do know that they married in Guage in Breathitt Co. The groom is William Mckinley Walters b. 1-18-1897 d. June 1968, he married Tina "Tiney" Pitts B. 12-1-1923 and died 6-16-1988. Mckinley may have gone by several nicknames such as Kendle, Kenny, Kinley, maybe even Bill hard to tell. I would love to find their marriage date. I have posted several times trying to find this information. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can do a lookup for me on this marriage. I can also provide any other information you may need.

Leon Morris In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs", therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression. "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg." ************************** As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year! (May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. The wigs couldn't be washed , so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term "big wig". Today we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig" because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy. **************************** In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board was folded down from the wall and used for dining. The "head of the household" always sat in the chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Once in a while, a guest (who was almost always a man) would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge. Sitting in the chair, one was called the "chair man". Today in business we use the expression or title "Chairman or "Chairman of the Board." ****************************** Needless to say, personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told "mind your own bee's wax." Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term "crack a smile". Also, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt and therefore the expression "losing face." ****************************** Ladies wore corsets which would lace up in the front. A tightly tied lace was worn by a proper and dignified lady as in "straight laced." ****************************** Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the "ace of spades". To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead. Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't "playing with a full deck." ***************************** Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what was considered important to the people. Since there were no telephones, TV's or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars who were told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times. "You go sip here" and "You go sip there". The two words "go sip" were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and, thus we have the term "gossip." **************************** At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint-and quart-sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep the drinks coming. She had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in "pints" and who was drinking in "quarts", hence the term" minding your "P's and Q's". ******************************* ALSO: Bet you didn't know this!!!! In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon, but how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method devised was a square based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem...how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solution was a metal plate called a "Monkey" with 16 round indentations. But, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make "Brass Monkeys." Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come right off the monkey. Thus, it was quite literally, "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey". (And all this time, you thought that was an improper - expression, didn't you?) You must send this fabulous bit of historic knowledge to at least ten unsuspecting friends. If you don't, your floppy is going to fall off your hard drive and kill your mouse. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages!

Sixth ANNUAL MARCUM REUNION Saturday June 26, 2004 RALPH MARCUM'S HOOTEN OLD TOWN It's that time to mark your calendars for the descendants of Thomas Pleasant & Nancy Margaret Carr Marcum to come together for our family reunion. It's hard to believe another year has gone by so quickly. We will all start gathering around Noon. We ask that everyone bring a covered dish. You may want to bring a few lawn chairs, too. And don't forget to bring your family histories or old pictures you want to share, but PLEASE label them or have them in an album. Last year I included a family chart for you all to fill out & bring back to me. If you still have it fill it out, it will only take a few minutes to do, that way I'll make sure I have our family history correct. We are now up to 101 cousins who I am sending these flyers to. Hopefully this year we will have some NEW family members to show up & also we hope that some of the others who haven't been in a while will be back this year. If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact: Ralph Marcum 606-287-3855 Tonya Marcum Combs 606-965-4422 Martha Jo Marcum Carr 859-824-9466 DIRECTIONS: Hooten Old Town is located just off Hwy 421 out of McKee. Turn right at McKee Car Wash on Hwy 89 South (Indian Creek Road. Go approximately 2 miles and turn right at the Indian Creek Baptist Church on Hooten Road. The reunion site is only 2 miles up this road.

I received this in a forwarded email and thought you all might like to see it because of our recent discussion of this custom. This is supposed to have originated in the 1500s. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky, and the combination of alcohol and lead could knock people out for a couple of days. Sometimes they were mistaken for dead and were then prepared for burial. Their families would place the person in question on the kitchen table for a couple of days and would gather around, eat, drink, and wait to see if he would eventually wake up or not - the custom of the "wake."
