Hello Kenton County Members, While at the Kenton County Library I checked out an older three volume set of books. I was thrilled to find hundreds of photos of residents of Covington & Latonia circa 1910 - 1925, complete with names. If your family was from Covington or Latonia in that time frame I can almost bet you a dime that will find a family member or shirttail cousin in this THREE volume set.

My Grandfather was Herbert Hardesty Shanklin. Jacob was his uncle. He was born and raised in Cascade on a ranch with the name Jones stamped in the house's foundation. I have a newsclipping about Jacob from my Grandmother's collection. Here it is Jacob H. Jones, 88, Pioneer Ranch Owner, Dies at Helena Ranks of Montana's pioneers were further depleted Saturday with the death in Helena of Jacob Hardesty Jones, 88, long a leader in the agricultural and business life of the Cascade area. Funeral services will be held at 2 Monday afternoon from the Opp & Conrad funeral home in Helena, with burial following in the family plot in Forestvale cemetery, Helena. He was born in Covington, KY., Feb 14 1853. In 1859 his father gave up the profession of teaching to enter the more lucrative field of mining, at Central City, Colo., leaving the family in Missouri until the spring of 1861. At the age of 8, Jones accompanied his parents on the covered wagon trip to the new home in Colorado, by the Arkansas and __latter river routs. Vivid in his recollection until the last years of his life was the bill of fare on the route, consisting almost entirely of wild game and hot breads. Motive power of the wagon train was 11 yoke of oxen. Their greatest anxiety, Jones often told friends, was not the fear of marauding Indians, but of stampeding buffalo, which then thronged the plains in herds of hundreds of thousands. Despite difficulties, the wagon train, with the Hardestys intact, arrived after several months in Denver, then a log-cabin village. In 1863, Jones came with his parents to Virginia City, where they operated a store and trading center. In 1865, the family moved to the Prickly Pear valley near Helena, where they engaged in ranching. Site of the ranch then operated by them is now covered by the waters of Hauser Lake. Jan 1, 1888, Jones was married to Bessie H. Bunnell, who died in 1931. Since 1879, he had been engaged in ranching in the Chestnut valley area, east of Cascade, where his holdings at one time took in approximately 4,000 acres. For several years, he divided his interests between the Cascade and Prickly Pear areas, but in 1891 made his permanent home on the Cascade ranch. He was one of the first purebred Hereford breeders in Montana, and for a time the only one in the Cascade area. For several years, his interest included the operation of several tracts of wheat land in the Adel district. He served for years as a member of the Cascade school board; and for several years was president of the First State bank at Cascade. He was an active member of the Methodist church. His fraternal affiliations included charter membership in Meridian lodge No. 105, A.F. & A.M., Cascade, to which hi transferred from the Masonic lodge at Helena. Survivors are a sister, Mrs. Ina Crane of the Prickly Pear valley; two daughters, Mrs Asa Sutten of Twin Bridges and Mrs. John Callahan of Billings; four sons, Shelton of Conrad, Robert of Spokane, Russell of Eugene, Ore, and Richard of Cascade, and 16 grandchildren. Newspaper clipping from Grace Evangelyn Miller Shanklin's scrapbook. No details about the paper, estimate based on dates it is from 1941. Jacob H. Jones was my Grandfather's Maternal Uncle. My Grandfather was Herbert Hardesty Shanklin. He was born and raised in the Cascade area on a ranch that had the name Jones stamped in the foundation of the house. Two other Jones cross this family, John S. Jones and Frances Jones. I would love know what information you have.

McCollum you refer to was John Jefferson McCollum, also known as "Courthouse John". This John McCollum was married twice. The 1887 edition of Battle Perrin says he and Anna were married in 1863 and had one son Charles. However,some researchers believe this to be a misprint and the son actually was John Jarvis McCollum. But there was a first wife Eliza. I have no children of either of these. There was A John McCollum obituary in in KP (Kentucky Post 1903) 5/23/1903 that would be availble from teh Covington Library. My connection is from John Jefferson's father John and the father's first wife Elizabeth Stephens. John Jefferson is from the second wife Mary, the sister of the first wife.

I have a photo dated October 28, 1872 and on the back it says W. Trimble ?Jr?; if it is Jr then there must be a senior. The photograph is by Draper & Husted, Ridge Ave & Wallace St, Philad. It is a monotone of a very young man, quite handsome (looks about 18), looks like he had light possibly brown hair, was beginning to grow a mustache & long sideburns. He would have been born around 1854 and was a child during the CW. Do you have any leads on a W. Trimble who probably lived in PA since the photo was taken there? Thank you.
