LOGANA, submitted to "Jessamine Co., Ky, 1798 - 1993", by Mary Alice Boggs At one time Logana was a thriving little village. It got its name from the Logan family, large landowners, who gave land for the school. The village had a railroad station, ticket agent, post office and general store. The store sold everything, including: lamp chimneys, coal oil, shoes, piece goods and staples, such as coffee, salt, sugar, lard, cheese, crackers, candy, etc. There was no pre-packaging then, all had to be weighed, measured, counted, sacked or wrapped. Logana also had a blacksmith shop, a mill to grind all types of grain, a fix-it shop, coal yard and a large scale for weighing coal. Wheat was bought, weighed, and shipped to Zaring's Mill in Richmond. The "Riney-B" Railroad ran two daily passenger trains in each direction. They ran from Irvine to Versailles, where they connected with Louisville Southern. We rode the train to school in Nicholasville. Traffic, lack of business, more automobiles and better road, plus a heavy rain that washed out the tracks, caused the abandonment of a section of the railroad. The ICC gave permission and the last run was made Sept. 30, 1932. The store stayed in business until 1941, when Kroger and automobiles took over. MT. LEBANON, submitted by Gertrude Cobb Mulcahy Mt. Lebanon is a small community 6 miles east of Nicholasville; a church is the center on a hill at the forks of the road, which goes on to Pollard. At different times four stores at different locations operated. Lafayette English operated one just beyond the church which burned years ago. Merritt Cobb operated one behind the trading post at the top of the hill and later it was used for a dwelling place and several families have lived there. A store at the foot of the church at one time operated by Arch Moberly, Nelson Hughes, and C. D. Hughes, which I remember being a place to buy groceries and just sit around and talk and learn all about the happenings in the community. All these people are deceased now, and the store building was used for a dwelling house. A few years ago, A. J. Hager lived there and the building caught fire from a skillet of hot grease and was totally destroyed. At present a block house has been built there and the McCarty family lives there. Just around the road at the top of the hill, Bob Hager built and operated a store for several years, but at the present time no one has a store of any kind. This is a community to live in. When I was a child, everyone knew everyone and would visit and go at night and stay until bed time, but now you don't know who lives very far away. A one room school was in the community with all eight grades taught by one teacher. One of the teachers was Clarence Cobb, who died at an early age from food poisoning. I don't remember him; he died long before I was born; everyone who knew him made mention of what a good person he was. I wish I could have seen him since he was my half brother. Some of the teachers I remember being there were Virginia Reynolds, Mae Florence Hager, Mary Alice Boggs, and Dallas Johns. There are fond memories of the school and the closeness of each one who attended the school. I believe more was taught and leaned in those times rather than today. Reading, writing and arithmetic were our main courses. We didn't have all the sports then. We walked to school because there weren't school buses. We also carried our lunch since no lunchrooms were available. When weather permitted, we would eat in the yard under a tree and trade our lunch with something someone else had brought. After eating, we would have a ballgame or play Andy-over-the-schoolhouse, a game choosing sides and throwing a ball over the house. On rainy days, games were played inside during play time such as Clap In and Clap Out or Fruit Basket Upset. When time for classes to begin, the first bell would ring and the students would line up forming two lines at each porch post and then march in very quietly. The school building has been sold and is a dwelling house at the present time, but we that went to school there will always cherish our memories. A blacksmith shop also was in operation in the community, operated by Arthur (Pap) Hager and several different people worked for him. There have been a lot of good things happened and also many sad things.
