One Year Old Baby, Burns to Death in the Building. The one year old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Cronley Harwick was burned to death near Bryantsville this morning when their residence was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Harwick was near the residence when the roof suddenly burst out into flames. She made a desperate fight to save her baby, but when the body was removed, the remains werre charred by the flames. The fire originated from a defective flue and started in the attic and had apparently been burning for sometime before it was discovered. The roof was about ready to fall in when the blaze was discovered. The sympathy of the people goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Harwick in their great loss.

What month/year were you interested in? I have a list of what they have, also the name of the paper changed often over the years. This is a Boyle Co. newspaper, not Garrard Co. I also have a list of those papers & what years were available. I look up the Boyle papers at Centre College Library, Danville, Boyle Co. The Garrard Co. papers are at the newspaper office & at the Library, depending on what year you're needing, in Lancaster, Garrard Co. The Univ. of KY UK Library has newspapers from all over the U.S. that you can go there & look up. Let me know what years you were needing in Boyle, I'll look to see if they're available....many years are missing.

Those subscribers who have access to the online genealogical database called HertiageQuest [through membership at your local or nearby public library] will be interested to know that there are about three books which treat of Culpeper Co., Virginia on HeritageQuest. One is of particular interest, it seems to me [who has not yet accessed the other two] to Germanna descendants [both colonies] is the following reference. Do a PLACE search in the Book section of HQ and read all 29 pages of the digitized book. It will not take long, if your computer is behaving! Not every list enumerates slaves, however. Note: At the end of 1783, the American Revolution officially ended with the Treaty of Paris.

Yantis' marker is a military marker with no dates. I have no idea who placed the date for the page, but his probable dates are abt. 1816 - Aft. 1880 and my take on the cemetery follows: Thank you for your observation. Gerald Tudor CARPENTER CEMETERY Graveyard Hill off Walker Pike Compiled by Gerald Tudor There is some history concerning the people buried in this quaint little graveyard. The earliest marked grave appears to be that of Zophar Carpenter (6 Feb. 1798 age 65), a native of Westchester Co., New York, who came in about 1753 to that part of Augusta Co., Virginia that became Botetourt County. Zophar was a veteran of the French and Indian Wars and a Revolutionary War Patriot by his supplying wheat and beef for the cause. Mary his wife (14 Aug. 1832 age 97) is inscribed on the same marker which no doubt replaced an earlier one for Zophar. Zophar came to Madison County in about 1790 as he first appears on the Tax List for the year 1791. His 300 acres comes in part from the McKinzie Survey and that part traded to John Boyle that included the cemetery location. Part of the homestead remains in the family as of 2001. Rufus Carpenter, son of Zophar (25 Nov. 1778-19 Mar. 1846) Rufus was born in Botetourt Co., VA. He was a Veteran of the War of 1812, serving in Faulkner's and Richardson's Regiment in Canada. Rachel Alexander Reid, his wife (17 Aug. 1788 Greenville District or County, SC - 29 May 1871). Rachel was the youngest child of John and Elizabeth Reid married in about 1773 County Down, Ireland. The Reid family came to Savanna, Georgia at the start of the Revolutionary War. They immediately moved inland to the Greenville District of South Carolina near Kings Mountain. Here John Reid served in Sumter's Brigade, Wade Hampton's First Regiment State Troops as a Captain. He moved to Garrard Co. after 1792 and is no doubt buried in the Carpenter Cemetery as is his wife although there is no known marker for John. Richmond Kirkendall, son-in-law to John Reid, testifies in his deposition for Rachel Carpenter's application re: John Reid's service, that he witnessed both the burial of John and his wife. Elizabeth L. Reid (3 Jul. 1835 age 87). Isaac Ambrose Ross (abt.1776 Culpeper Co., VA-25 Dec. 1821) Revolutionary War Soldier serving with Kentucky Militias as well as the Virginia Line. A D.A.R. marker was placed upon his large flat stone in 1993 when Ross descendants gathered for a dedication. His wife, Elizabeth Gordon (13 Dec. 1844 age 75) has a large flat stone adjacent to that of her husband's. Yantis Middleton (no dates) Military Marker Co. B 3rd KY Inf. Union, Civil War Veteran. Yantis' marker lies flat on the ground misplaced from its original space and is badly deteriorated. His wife, Elizabeth Holmes (14 Dec. 1816-26 Aug. 1855), a daughter Emeriller (17 Dec. 1844-28 Jan. 1845), a daughter Emmeline (10 Jun. 1846-18 Jun. 1846). Isaac Holmes (22 Dec. 1856 age 60) Veteran of the War of 1812 serving in Faulkner's Regiment). Infant Reid (born and died 25 Jan. 1840). son of Andrew and Luvicy. Andrew, son of Andrew and Catherine Laywell Reid. Luvicy (Levisa), dau. of Robert and Mary Elizabeth Ross Carpenter. THE FOLLOWING CARPENTER BURIALS HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED AS TO WHO THEIR PARENTS WERE. George W. Carpenter (25 Jun. 1820-15 Sep. 1840) Oral history reports his death as a result of a swing accident. He is possibly a son of Rufus and Rachel for the memory to carry down. Their generations remained on the homestead. Barton W. Carpenter (2 Oct. 1810-14 Mar. 1835) Isabell Carpenter (12 Jun. 1839 age 31) Barton Carpenter (20 Mar. 1839 age 2 yrs. 2 mos. 2 days. Robert H. Carpenter (5 Apr. 1809-17 Jan 1823) possible son of Rufus and Rachel. Of the three sons of Zophar, Zenith and Robert had sons named Robert. (The name Barton appears twice. Robert and Mary Elizabeth Ross Carpenter had a son, Barton who lived to have descendants. Barton W. may have been named for the early Barton W. Stone, noted minister at Cane Ridge in Bourbon Co., KY where hundreds came for camp meetings). There are other names attributed to this cemetery, but there is no proof that they were ever there. Several are buried out of state and some are just pure guess work on the surveyor's part. Many field stone markers exist as well as sunken graves without markers. There was an instance of a marker being carried away to make a door step. This party was forced to return the marker to the cemetery. Today, most of the markers are up-right and well preserved with very legible inscriptions. A few are displaced and need to be restored. Three Revolutionary War patriots are interred here as well as two War of 1812 veterans and one of the Civil War. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: KyResearchNut Surnames: COMPTON Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.garrard/3928/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Taken from Kentucky Advocate, Danville, KY, Feb 11, 1921 COMPTON - Former Garrard Co. Citizen Dies in Independence, Missouri. George L. Compton, who was born at Buena Vista, Garrard County, September 28, 1831, died at his home in Independence,, Mo, to which city he moved in 1854. With a friend he started to California seeking adventure. They stopped off at Independence and Mr. Compton took a position overseeing a ranch, later resigning and taking a place as stage driver, which then was the only means of communication between Independence and the Western settlements of the country. For many years he drove the stage and the mail wagon over the old Santa Fe trail. In 1885, Mr. Compton went into the real estate business in Kansas City and Independence, becoming a wealthy man. He maintained a winter home in Los Angeles, where he had spent many winters until this season when his physical health did not permit him to make the trip. He used to tell of his trips between Independence and New Mexico, saying he had stood watching buffalo run at a high speed in such numbers that it required one hour for the herd to pass a given point. He was probably the last living man of that section who was active in driving over the old Santa Fe trail between his town and New Mexico. Many times his return load from Santa Fe was made up entirely of sacks containing silver dollars. If he arrived in Independence after the banks were closed, it was his custom to unload the silver on the sidewalks, leaving it there overnight unguarded.
