I am looking for the burial site of Lydia Jane (Golliher) Hornback. It is believed that she is buried with her husband at Oak Hill Baptist Church. It is known that at the time of her death she was living with her son Albert Hornback in Sonora. There is no death certificate that I can find on the indexes so my next venture is to look for the possible funeral home. Does anyone know of a possible funeral home in that area of Larue or Hardin County that might have been used in the 1930's. If there is not a death certificate, could there be a county document, such as a corners report? Is there a plot map kept for Oak Hill, perhaps at the church office or the Larue County Court House.

Hi there all... Wanted to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to all that have offered or given help in getting information on Howe Valley Methodist Church and cemetery. While most of my lines are "rooted" in Breckinridge Co., I have had several occasions in which Meade, Grayson, and Hardin Counties have played into my researching. Unfortunately, I've not had to do that much researching in those counties to really become all that knowledgeable... which is why I am so grateful for the mailing list, and thankful for those that responded. Just wanted to drop a line and say "thanks". Dana (BrieSkate@aol.com)

I am searching for information on the parents of Lucinda LaRue born July 11, 1809, died in Hardin Co. June 22, 1875. On the marriage record to Joseph R. Dillingham Aug.10, 1829, consent for her marriage is given by her stepfather and stepmother, Martin Roof and Alice Roof. Witness was Jehu Roof. Joseph R. and Lucinda Dillingham lived in Hardin Co and had 12 children. Any information on Lucinda LaRue (possibly also called Lane) would be appreciated. - Madalyn D. McCollom mdmccollom@home.com

I'm hoping that I might be able to find someone on the list that can help me. I have located my g-g-grandfather, Rev. Raphael Knott, in the Howe Valley Methodist Cemetery, in Howe Valley. In trying to contact someone to get information about the history of the Methodist church (as I believe my ancestor was one of their circuit ministers at the turn of the century and a little later), I have run into one road block after another. It seems that the cemetery is quite large, and is listed on the maps for the area, but I cannot find a telephone listing of a church or anyone with which to get information from. I called the Elizabethtown, KY operator and had her looking for about ten minutes before she said the only thing remotely connected was Hardinsburg Memorial Gardens. Does anyone on the list know how to get in contact with someone from the cemetery, as well as the church that was connected with it? Did the church merge with other churches and take on another name? Or did it die away, and I need to look within the records of the United Methodist archives? Is Howe Valley Methodist Church considered part of the UMC, or another Methodist denomination. I'm really stumped here, and would love to hear any input on how to solve this problem. Thanks.... Dana (BrieSkate@aol.com)

It there a complete lsiting of the burials there? Is it been called something else?? I'm working on the Akers line of Jonathon Akers and his sister, Elizabeth Akers Caldwell. I understand that Elizabeth C Akers Caldwell (Jonathan's daughter), wife of Andrew Jackson Caldwell (Elizabeth Akers Caldwell's son) is buried in the cemetery. Any help would be appreciated. And thank you in advance. Lynne Ditmore &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Genealogy: I think my ancestors have be in the witness protection program!!!! &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Mr. JOHN BLAKELY has resigned his position as one of the teachers in the High School, and the vacancy has been filled by, Miss MAY HAYS. Dr. FULLER, A new buggy. A wild horse. Two miles in the country, hog in fence corner. Dr. FULLER has no buggy. There is an epidemic in this community called hog measles. Said disease takles the natives irrespective of age, color sex or previous condition of servitude. SANDY SATES, was carelessly handling a Flobert gun last week when it suddenly was accidently discharged, and the ball cut a few locks of hair from his wife"s head. Doctors PAYNTER, WILLIS, FULLER and HOWELL, a medical quartette that cant be beat, are constantly on the move, attending to their numerous patients. The young man who lost his life in the mammoth clothing fire last week, was the subject of a sermon by one of our ministers last Sunday.

Miss "ALICE" head trimmer in Mrs. BOWLING"S millinery store will spend next week in Louisville. An effort is being made to have SAM SMALL come here next month and conduct a meeting at the Methodist church.

Mrs. NICHOLAS SCOTT, of Meeting Creek, is another lady who has sent us a correct solution of the Dime and Copper puzzle published in the News several weeks ago.

HILLS, of Louisville but formerly of this place, met with quite a serious accident one day last week by a street car,colliding with a vehicle, in which she was riding.

Misses EMMA and MAGGIE MIDDlETON gave a Phantom -Party to a number of their friends last Friday night. All the invited guests appeared in ghost like apparel and so seemingly gotton up that identification was utterly impossible. After a good deal of pleasure in the futile search to find their beaux and sweethearts, the masks were taken off, and refreshments served. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The occasion was a very pleasant one and the Misses Middleton"s added much to their guests by the hospitable way they entertained.

MEADOR visited Brandenburg yesterday. Our boys from Guston were over last Sunday and report the great Metropolis of Guston in a flourishing condition and all the citizens happy. WHOOPEE!! but ar"nt the News a daisy. A real city paper plumb full of news, all home news at that. She makes us feel really proud. Turn her loose--let her go. Keep her a humping herself. She is bound to win and dont you forget. Hats off and three big cheers, hip, hip, hurrah , long may she wave. FRANKLINS CROSS ROADS Seldom seeing our little town represented in the columns of your valuable paper we attempt to give your readers a few brief items and if our feeble efforts escapes the jaws of that dreaded waste basket we may be encouraged to come again. Several cases of pneumonia are being reported in this part of the community. Miss MAGGIE HICKS has been quite sick for some time and we are sorry to note that she is none better. Mrs. MARTHA MEDLEY has been sick for several days but is convelescent at this writing. Rev. J.Q. KERFOOT preached here Sunday, to an attentative audience. V.H. FRANKLIN, of this place, accepted a position as salesman for C.H. MORRISON, of Dorrett"s Run. Our school opened Monday with very good attendance. Mrs. ANNIE HICKS, of this place has been visiting friends in Dry Grove, for the past week returned last saturday. Miss DELLA PRICE, of Sonors, is visiting friends at this place. Klinglesmith & Given are still receiving bones by the wagon load. J.R. HIGDON has been under treatment of Dr. HULCEE, of Louisville is spending a few days with his family. J.R. F.

Mr. SAM FISHER of your town, paid some old friends of this place a short visit last week. Mr. J.W. HALL, of Cecilia, was in our midst last week.

JOHN LEACH, of Muldraugh Hill is wearing a smiling face, its a girl. Our town is on a great big hill and so is Mr. KELLER"S great big mill. Mack UPTONVILLE LETTER Uptonville has quite a number of excellent dwellings to rent. Parties desiring good houses in a good town have a good opportunity to secure them. Good schools, good morals, clever people and business thrift are some of the inducements she affords. The inhumanity of some people is truly wonderful. Below here five or six miles in Hart County, is a sample. A year or so ago a young girl by the name of HAZLE married in LaRue County, a man named SHELT THARP, and came with him to Hart county. THARP recently deserted his wife leaving her at GEO. WATKINS. She was afterward persuaded to go to a man"s house by the name of STAGGS to wait on his (STAGGS) wife. who was sick. She remained and gave satisfaction as long as she was able to wprk. But soon after going there she was attacked with a severe case of inflamatory rheumatism and was no longer desirable. STAGGS tired of her and put her out having her carried to a miserable hut occupied by an old negro. There on a floor made of rails with a little straw for a bed, this poor girl was left to suffer the untold miseries of disease and neglest. The old darkey in order to rid himself of her moved out, shortly after she was brought to him leaving her alone. Some of our people hearing of her condition went to the cabin last week to afford relief but found her back at STAGGS who before had so inhumanly treated her. Now, it is said that the county court refuses to render any aid because that she does not properly belong to hart county, but to LaRue. This we dont beleive. We know Judge MACY, and he is a clever chrisitian gentleman and would help anyone in want if they but made it known. If some will lay the case before the judge he will do all in his power to releive her deplorable condition. Let some one see him at once. PERSONAL Mr. JAMES RIDER is quite sick at this writing. His case is a peculiar one and hard to diagnose, Drs. CLEAVER and LAMBERT attend him. Uncle BEN RIDER is quite sick. He is making a strong fight for life and has the sympathy of all. Miss MATTIE KEITH, after a short visit to her brother, Mr. B.J. KEITH of this place, has returned to her home in Bowling Green. MINOAH LASLEY, agent for Peoples Mutual Assurance Fund, Louisville, was here last week talking the right arms off people. He did some work. Mr. and Mrs. WARFIELD visited relatives at Stephensburg, Saturday and Sunday. Mr. T.B. UPTON was here Friday. He likes his new home very much. Rev. W.F. ROGERS, of the Christian church ably assited by his father is conducting a series of meetings here. Mr. J.E. MUDD is making some very much needed additions to his store house. Rev. RAMSEY filled his regular appointment here saturday and Sunday last. Mrs. SALLY MURRAY, of the Bonnieville vicinity died last week after a lingering illness. Her maiden name was WALDECK. Mr. ANDREW BRASHEAR, who has of recent date been suffering from mental trouble is we are glad to report, almost recovered. Mr. SAM TABB, of Nolin, spent saturday with friends here. L.E, NORE I want to sell my two story frame dwelling house near the Ashton distillery in Elizabethtown. The house has an acre of good land attached. Will sell cheap. Mrs. JOHN MAHAR To be con"t L.L.
