Hi listmates, I'm new to this list and have a few questions. My grandfather and his siblings lived in Independence KY in the 1920s-1940s, with some being there longer. Where would they have attended high school? I found the two youngest brothers in the 1941 Simon Kenton yearbook online, but I'm more interested in my grandfather. I have some pictures that are labeled "Holmes High School" wall of honor, I think it is (don't have it in front of me). My grandfather and his youngest brother were killed in WWII and their names were on that wall. So far, I haven't been successful in locating a yearbook that showed them (other than the one I mention above). I would really like to find out where he went to school and see what kind of activities he was involved with. I believe he was in the band, for example. My grandfather was Calvin Moon. Siblings: John, Charlotte (Lottie), Sarah, Carl, Clyde, and Buddy. Thanks for any help. Jacki

Thanks, everyone. I have had email correspondence with the alumni association for Holmes High School and someone from the school itself. Apparently my grandfather doesn't appear in any of the yearbooks they can find. In the picture I have of my grandfather's name on the Honor Roll wall, there are two other names that were familiar to me: Milo S. Pitt and Nicholas A. Foltz. As it turns out, those two men are buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery where my grandfather is also buried. When I visited there the first time, I put flowers on the graves of all the Kenton County men that were buried there and took pictures. They are online at the Kenton County KYGenWeb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kykenton/military.html. Related question: Does anyone have city directories for Covington or Independence for the 1930s or 1940s? From the 1930 census pages, it appears that they lived on 46th Street in Covington. Jacki
