Does anyone know of this marriage? My great grandfather was John B Cuddy and I'm wondering if this was his first wife. When he married my great grandmother, Rosa Margaret Sprinkle in Dec 1899 in Virginia, he was divorced, and I believe he was about 25 years old. So, it is very possible that this could have been his first wife. Please reply to this post, or contact me directly if you have info that may help in figuring this out. Thank you, Trina

6 May 1904 Regained His Eyesight. Mayking, Ky., May 6. John Scott, 40, who has been totally blind for 20 years, suddenly received his sight Wednesday at Burns, east of here. When it was announced to Scott that a neighbor's house was on fire he became greatly excited and his eyesight returned. - Dispatch. _________________ From Knott County Historical Society's - A Century Ago This Week. Surely there have to be many family stories handed down regarding this miracle. Does anyone have any they will share with us? Thanks. Sincerely yours, David R. Smith, Pres.

April 24, 1903. The largest walnut log ever taken out of the Eastern Kentucky mountain forests has just been taken from Cross Fork of Kentucky river, west of Mayking, overland across the mountains to Jackson, Breathitt county, to the Cincinnati markets. The log was nearly six feet in diameter and sixteen feet long, and it required eight large yoke of oxen to "snake" it over the mountains. It was bought for $1,600 from Joe Hale. Members of the Kentucky World's Fair Association gave Mr. Hale's bid on the tree with the intention of placing it on exhibition at St. Louis in 1904, but their bid of $2,000 was a day too late. ___________________ From Knott County Historical Society's - A Century Ago This Week (1903 Edition) Can anyone help us locate a photo of this log? Anyone related to Joe Hale? Thanks. Sincerely yours, David R. Smith, Pres. Knott County Historical Society, Inc.
