    3. The Filson Historical Society http://www.filsonhistorical.org/guide9.html has the following which might prove very interesting: Briney, Melville Otter, 1899-1986. Collection, ca. 1890s-1970s. 986PC28. 264 items. Melville Otter Briney was a Louisville author and columnist for the Louisville Times. Her weekly column, "Old Louisville," recounted stories of people, events, and places in Louisville history and often drew upon memories of her childhood on St. James Court. Her husband, Russell Briney, was a reporter for the Courier-Journal. The collection includes photographs of members of the Briney, Otter, and Carter families. Albums of snapshots taken by Mrs. Briney picture her girlhood friends and schoolmates, parties, and vacations from 1912-1916. Identified photographs include Mary Anderson, John Otter Briney, Melville O. Briney, Russell Briney, Mrs. James G. Carter, Melvilla B. Carter Otter, John Delaware Otter, and Alice Hegan Rice.

I inquired about A Place In Time and was told that whenever they get a copy of that they usually sell it for $35.00. :-( Also, my friend Lib, told me she remembers a paperback book put out by the Courier-Journal in the 50's or 60's with great pictures of Louisville. I called the C-J today and was told it was put out in 1955 and other than getting it at the Library I could check the book store. But it was doubtful that they would have it. Janis

    1. [KYJEFFER] Re:1920 Census/Byerly/Arnold
    2. Thanks for reading again. Hope I am not to annoying with my continuing newness!! Since my ggrandmother & ggrandfather were divorced sometime between 1915-1920, They both returned as divorced singles to live with their individual families. I am trying to find out what happened to their two sons in the 1920 census. Neither Vincent Arnold or William Arnold are seen in either household. Mae Byerly Arnold returned to 2100 N. Burnett in Louisville. Laurence Paul Arnold returned to his father Alonzo Arnold (Couldn't read the street). I thought since the 1920 census was indexed..I could find them in a relatives home. I have wriiten a letter to St. Josephs Orphanage..looking for info. Could they have been hidden in a household?? They eventually reunited with their mother when she married Edwin Lohr in Kentucky. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Patty ReillyP>S> Vinveny b.1913/William b.1915

    3. This is a general suggestion to everyone who is looking for out of print books -- there is a great website which is actually a co-op of used bookstores. Because there are hundreds and hundreds of stores, they have nearly everything. This is the address: http://www.abebooks.com/ I checked for the Clyde Crews book; they didn't have it, but there are several other books on Catholics in the Louisville diocese.

    3. Dear Listers, Barb T pointed out that the outhouses I mentioned previously in the Highlands of Louisville, may have been for the servants while indoor plumbing was for the families living in the houses. I replied, feeling somewhat like an idiot, I forgot about the servant issue. It was active when I was a kid. The movie, "Driving Miss Daisy" brought back all kinds of memories. Boy, am I glad that nonsense is past most of us! Tom

    2. Eric & Karen Abston Steed
    3. >From the data on an early Land Grant to James McCorkle from King George III and Bishop William George McCloskey, Bishop of Louisville [ 1823 - 1909 ] it soon became obvious that the history of the early American Church and Louisville is quite rich, complex and of interest both historically and from a Genealogical perspective. [ Previously cited: http://www.bellarmine.edu/content/about/pdf/2001-2002_student_handbook.pdf ] I was surprised to see Baltimore Maryland's influence quite early on, as opposed for example to Virginia, which one would suspect [ As mentioned Virginia claimed more than half the 'World', so to speak, even prior too the Revolution ]. However, originally Louisville was part of the Diocese of Baltimore Maryland and It would appear, for a short time anyway, secondary to Bardstown.

    2. Eric & Karen Abston Steed
    3. Many, not all perhaps, but many of those 'little shed's served another purpose. At our home on Bates Court for example, and at two of the Family Homes on Central Park, the 'little shed' had a toilet for the 'Help', if you will. This at about the time when all the homes had little 'doors' for the Ice, and many homes still had 'Carriage Houses' or 'Car Barns' with servants quarters attached or in the 'loft'. Tyler Park stands out, as does Valley Road, too ..... Eric '5th Generation Louisvillian' Postscript: Anyone recall the Bonnycastle Club?

    3. Hi Patty, Thanks for writing me back. I'm going to have to find that web site again. Maybe I can track down who actually set it up and ask them about it. I've been concentrating my research on my Dad's side so far, mostly because I found all that work already done on my Mom's (Byarley) side. All my family on my Dad's side (Graeter) was born in KY about 5 generations back and then Germany and I haven't been able to find one marriage in KY, so I'm in the same boat you are there. I'll keep your e-mail address and let you know when I find that site again so you can have a look-see at it.

As far as I can go back as yet, Byerly & Bierly, Bierlay, is what I am finding. Florence Matthews Byerly wife of Charles Byerly, was born in Indiana though. Their 10 children all born in Louisville. Since I haven't found their marriage record in Jefferson County, I am assuming they were married in Indiana.

    1. [KYJEFFER] Outhouses and stuff
    2. Thomas Fiske
    3. Dear Barb and Listers, I am more fortunate than you in some respects. My great-grandparents and grandparents had homes that are still standing in and around the Highlands. I lived in three houses that still stand in that area (Speed, Bonnycastle & Bassett). I was able to visit the off ice at St Brigid church and get some information from one of the priests, too. I seem to recall that the two-story houses where I lived on Bassett Avenue off Longest in the 1940's, originally had outhouses. The little sheds were gone, but there were sunken spots and spots of "johnny weed" growing in appropriate places. I suspect they were built in the 1870-1880 era. Now I live near L. A. One day, about 1970, I flew into Louisville for some long forgotten reason. I went to see my grandparent's home on Brownsboro road near St. Matthews. The current owners had sold the house and it was left open for anyone to wander through the big old place. I had not been in it since 1942. I missed the house by two days. When I got to the site, it was a hole in the ground. I think it is now a gas station. Tom
