I would like to THANK profusely the members of the Breathitt County Genealogical Society and the County Clerks of Breathitt County for all their PATIENCE and INFORMATION shared during my recent visit. Especially Stephen Bowling and Raymond Moore. Steve, I am sorry we could not talk more but WE WILL TALK, I promise you. Ray, I am glad to have made your aquaintance and I plan on picking your mind more. I would have like to have met with Bertha Noble but I was unable to. I will meet her though. I made numerous copies and the County Clerks got to know me by name ( I wonder if that is Good or Ill. I have returned from Jackson to my "Home" here in Texas but my HOME forever shall be in Breathitt. Thanks again for your friendly greetings and making this "Transplanted" Hillbilly feel right at home. Warm Regards, R.

They are written, as with a sunbeam in the whole of Nature, by the hand of the Divinity himself; and can never be erased by Mortal Power. " ......
