RE>KYCASEY-D Digest V98 #92 08/11/98 Where might one find more information about the Earles farm mentioned in the Gum Lick Church article? Does anyone have connections with this family?

Information for this article was provided by Ada Murphy,Alta Marple and Evelyn Summers The Gum Lick Church began in 1896 under the leadership of Bro.J.Q.Montgomery,evangelist. The church and the stream by which it stands were named from the deer which came and licked the sweet gum trees. The first building was located on land originally owned by Atterson Belton. One of his daughters married Bob Earles and the church ground came off the Earles farm.The original building was dedicated in 1896 as the Gum Lick Union Church,however,the members were all of the Christian Church.W.T.Earles and Aaron Overstreet hand dressed the weatherboarding for the church building. Some of the originial members were W.T.Earles,GreenEarles,Henry Marple and Aaron Overstreet. On August 5,1896 the church membership numbered 55.Appointed as elders were:G.A. Tucker,W.T.Earles and J.M.Ellis.The deacons were Joe Campbell and R.P.Earles. On June 18,1898 Abner Belton was appointed as a deacon. August 14,1932 the elders were:J.J.Murphy,Sherman Belton, and Elbridge Harrison.Deacons were:L.C.Purdy,Herman Murphy,D.G.Phillips,W.E.Summers and R.D.Murphy.The trustees were: Edd Earles,Herman Murphy and Sherman Belton.

January 1961 the elders were: Lewis Wright and W.E.Summers and deacons were Lucian Marple,Howard Gabehart and Roy Allen. Church records list the following ministers who conducted revivals at Gum Lick and the date the revival started:J.Q.Montgomery,1897;G.W.Montgomery,1899;F.L.Bottoms,1900[paid $6.25];J.L.Brewer,1903;R.A.Staley,no date;J.R.Woodrum,1906;J.B.Daniel,1908 &1909; J.E.Thomas,1910;L.C.Young,1913;J.R.Moorman,1917;W.B.Quarles,1926;H.J.Conover,1927;A.E.Matthew,1928;E.T.Nichols,1931;C.C.Baker,1932;W.B.Quarles,1933;S.H.Masters,1933-34;L.Palmer Young,1941;Ray Hammond,1949;L.C.Young,1950- 55,Ray Hammond,1956;Roger Rankin,1957-58;James Prince,1960;Ray Bennett,1963;Jimmy Knifley,1964;Jim Simpson,1965;Truman McClain,1966-67;Paul Bohrer,1968;Jimmy Knifler,1969,Tom Bledsoe,197o;Joe Paul Hatchett,1971;Truman McClain,1972;Joe Paul Hatchett,1973; Raymond Sparrow,1974;Carroll Egnew,1975;Joe P.Hatchett,1976;Tom Mobley,1978;Carroll Egnew,1979;Raymond Sparrow,1979.

I am reserching my direct line CHAMBERS in central Kentucky. Counties of Taylor, Green, Adair, Lincoln, Russel, Washington, etc. (Where ever the search leads.) The information that I have is very limited, mostly from census and other county lists. Following is a summary. Can anyone please help fill in the details? Lafayette CHAMBERS and Susan DICKERSON were married in Lincoln county, KY in 1859. They had 4 children, James, Sally, Florinda, & George. 1. Only info on James is his death in Lincoln co in 1925. 2. No info on Sally 3. No info on Florinda 4. My ggf, George was their last of child, born in 1865 in Pellyton, died 1927 in Taylor co. . George was married twice. I have no information on his first marriage. I obviously am descended from his second marriage to Mary Ellen PETERSON. (The Peterson tree has already been fully documented and published.) Lafayette's family is listed in Adair 1870 census, Neatsville district. Only Lafayette is listed in Adair 1890 census. Lafayette's wife Susan Dickersion is named along with her 2 brothers/1 sister in a newspaper article in "The Adair County News" dated 1901. Key items I'm looking for are: Who were Lafayette's parents? He may have been born in Washington co. Who did James marry? Children? ... Did Sally and Florinda marry? Who? Children?... What/who/where info on George's first marriage? ... Does anyone have census from Washington, Lincoln, and/or Casey that can lookup this family. thanks in advance, ------------- Other CHAMBERS marriages recorded at Adair county court clerk office. (M/D/Yr) 8/9/1843 Allen Chambers and Sally James 8/3/1814 Polly Chambers and Elijah Wisdom 10/31/1823 Betsey Chambers and Samuel Garman 9/10/1829 Nancy Chambers and Young Huggard 9/10/1829 Susan Chambers and Joseph Cartright (yes, Nancy and Susan both married same day, by same Rev. Elijah King) 11/30/1852 Sarepty Chambers and John D Coffey -------------- Will of George CHAMBERS is recorded at Adair clerk's office also. Wife Elizabeth (no Surname) No mention of children. Other Chambers (Allen and Betsey, from above marriage list) listed as making purchases at estate sale. I do NOT know if these Adair CHAMBERS are related to Lafayette's family. Thanks for any info.

I thought this article may be of interest to someone and there are pictures of the gentlemen in this news article. Four honorees added to Hall of Fame The second awards ceremony for Hall of Fame inductees was the highlight of the 11th reunion of the Casey County Alumni Association/Friends of Casey County at Lure Lodge on May 17. To be eligilable to the Hall of Fame, persons had to have met one or more of the following; demonstrated out-standing success in acadimics,athletics or leadership while enrolled in a high school in Casey County or after graduation; demonstrated a recognizable degree of proficiency in civic leadership,buisness or professional accomplishments;and/or made an outstanding contribution to the students and staff of a high school in Casey County as a teacher,coach,administer or supportive member of the community. Potraits of these and all Hall of Fame inductees who have brought honor to Casey County will hang in the hallway of Casey County High School. This year's four honorees were: Patrick H Carigan was U.S.Navy veteran of World War II. As a UK graduate in civil engineering he has held many responsible positions around the world. When he retired after 34 years of federal service, he held the Chief,Construction-Operations for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Ohio River Division. His area of responibility included parts of 14 states and 2,800 miles of navigation channels.Perhaps the most unique project done under his supervision was the rehabilitation of Wolf Creek Dam when it started leaking in the 1970's. At retirement he carried a civilian grade equivalent in rank to a Brigadier General in the Army. Pat was a founder of Friends of Casey County and served as president three times. Dr. Vulus Raymond Dowell, Jr. [deceased],graduated from Liberty High School in 1945.World War II was raging and he entered the Army on his 18th birthday,serving as a surgical technician. First hand experience stimulated him to enter the field of clinical and public health micobiology.Dr. Dowell,leader in the field of anaerobic bacteriology,was recognized internationally.One week before his death in 1990, he retired as head of the Anaerobic Bacteriology Department at the National Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga. His pioneering discoveries and techniques have advanced health care around the world. William M Watkins [deceased], maintained a high academic standing in high school while playing baseball. He attended Western Kentucky University, the University of Kentucky, and graduated from East-ern Kentucky University, where his portrait hangs in their Hall of Fame. As an advocate of education,he was a teacher,high school principal and for 24 years the Casey County Superintendent of Schools.He was an editorial writer for the Courier-Journal,advocating better schools, better trained teachers and higher teacher's salaries. He was a featured writer for the Green River Sprite. In 1939 he published "The Men,Women,Events,Institutions and Lore of Casey County", which contained histories of most schools,communities and families in Casey Co. Charles E. Wesley [deceased], graduated from school in 1929.He attneded Lindsey Wilson Colege,Central College and graduated from Western Kentucky University.As an advocate of eduaction,he taught in one-and-two-room schools,was Liberty High sCHOOL mathematics teacher,vice principal and principal. As Casey County Schools Superintendent,after World War II, he introduced free public school bus transportation and built five consolidated elementary schools that replaced the many one - two-room schools.

I'm not sure this helps much but I have Walter Parnell that married Olive R. Nelson. She was born Oct. 3, 1868 and lived in the same area. My line runs through Olive's brother James.

I don't know if there's a name index for obituaries in the Casey County News, but unfortunately I don't have a date for this death and would like to have this obituary. ISO obituary of Helen Wethington, wife of Gregory Wethington (he was son of John Buriah and Demi Wethington). Greg was born in 1900, and Helen was about the same age. They were distant (possibly second?) cousins, but I don't know Helen's connection to the Wethington line. Helen's obituary did appear in Casey County News, but someone cut it out and took it before my grandmother could read the paper that week. (we live in Ohio). Thank you Paula Wethington Rose PWRose@aol.com
