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.
