Does anyone on this board have info on Thomas Metcalf who became governor? When was he governor (years?). Was he a resident or from Nicholas or Bourbon Co.? Any info would be appreciated. -- Helen Graves

Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a Jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: The soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe Wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She or he is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.

Our subject was raised on the farm, receiving a common school education. On Jan. 9, 1854, he married Sarah J. Potts, daughter of William and Elmira (Hall) Potts of Nicholas County. They have had seven children, six of whom are living: Robert married Ida Berry; Fannie married John McCray of Bourbon; Charlie, Lulie, Gano, Walter, William died in infancy.

In 1787 he was in charge of Kentucky circuit; in 1788, of Danville, and in 1789, of Cumberland circuit - returning, in 1780, to the Danville circuit for two years; after which, having "literally worn himself out in traveling and preaching," he asked for a location. He died near Lexington, in great peace. He was a good man, and a very excellent and successful preacher. #3779: Kentucky: A History of the State, Perrin, Battle, Kniffin, 8th ed., 1888, Jefferson Co. JOHN B. WILLIAMSON, city court clerk, is a native of Louisville, and was born on the 7th of August, 1840. He is a son of H. and Susan (Prescott) Williamson, natives of Franklin County, N. Y. The former was among the old citizens of Louisville, having come hither in 1835, when the city was a rather small place as compared to its present dimensions. He was connected with the quartermaster's depot at Nashville, Tenn., during the late war, to the time of his death, which occurred in 1863. The subject was educated in the schools of Louisville, and in 1856-57, issued the second city directory. He served in the quartermaster's depot all through the war. In 1876 he was elected clerk of the city court, and has been re-elected to the position ever since. He was married in February, 1861, to Miss Caroline McCorkhill, of Louisville.

MITCHELL, Livingston County, is a native of Stewart County, Tenn., and was born October 30, 1840. His ancestors on the father's side, were natives of Ireland, the grandfather coming many years ago to North Carolina, where his death occurred at an early day; subject's father, Rev. M.F. Mitchell, was born in that State in 1817, but immigrated to Georgia in his early manhood, and later to west Tennessee, where his death occurred in 1868. He was a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church South, a profession he followed all his life; he married a Mrs. Martha Taylor, her maiden name was Randall, daughter of Rev. Thomas Randall of Tennessee. She was married to a Mr. Taylor first, by whom she had two children - Adaline and Sarah Ann. After the death of Taylor, she and Rev. M.F. Mitchell were married. Mr. Randall immigrated to America in an early day, and settled in Virginia. He afterward moved to Tennessee, and was among the pioneer Methodist preachers of that State. Mrs. Mitchell was born in Virginia, in about 1819, and died in March, 1881. By her marriage with Mr. Mitchell, she had four children, as follows - R.P. (subject), Rosener F.

Mitchell received his primary education in the common school of his native county, and later took a course at an academy in Benton County, where he received instruction in the higher branches of learning. After leaving school he turned his attention to teaching, and followed that profession in Graves County, for a period of ten years, meeting with flattering success as an educator. In 1861 he joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and four years later receiveed license to preach.

Cleaning the Cat! 1. Thoroughly clean the toilet. 2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted. 3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective. 6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. 8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.
