Falmouth Outlook Friday 31 August 1923 Vol. 17 No. 13 Pg. 4 Col. 4 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CO. D. 4TH REGIMENT, OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMY Leland L. Barton, Prominent Lawyer of Washington, D. C. Writes interesting sketch of Company in which many soldiers from this county were enlisted. Leland L. Barton, formerly of this county, and many years ago editor of a paper published here, and also principal in the public schools of Falmouth, has written a most interesting historical account of Company D. Fourth Regiment Kentucky Cavalry, Confederate Army, and the Outlook is exceedingly fortunate in having the opportunity to publish it. The article follows: In writing a personal letter to an old friend in Falmouth, I concluded to surprise him with a historical list of names of the members of Company D Fourth Regiment, Kentucky Cavalry of the Confederate Army, which list names in the history of Pendleton County; and the names were of people from all parts of the county. The fact caused me to think that it might be an acceptable contribution as news, yet history, for all the people of the county. The enlistment date was September 5, 1862, so in a few days that historical event could be celebrated as the sixty-first anniversary. One of the first stations of the Company was Saylersville, Magoffin County. The first service was around Cumberland Gap. They were in forty-three engagements with the enemy, besides skirmishes. The Regiment was in the siege of Knoxville, Tenn. The tragic death of the great cavalry raider, General John H. Morgan, occurred at Greenville, Tenn., November 1864. The Fourth Regiment Kentucky Cavalry was gained such momentum in fighting that after General Lee had surrendered what was in effect the last sword of the rebellion to General Grant, at Appomattox, it fought the battle of Marion, VA. It surrendered at Mt. Sterling, KY on April 30, 1865, and the men were paroled and allowed to return home. The officers were allowed to retain their side arms. Later I shall endeavor to give you some account of the thrilling and historical episode in the history of our part of Kentucky, meeting the capture of Federal troops at Cynthiana, KY, in 1862; of the haste of General Morgan was in to get the benefit of his prisoners and at the same time get away from the troops coming hot from Cincinnati. He delivered certain officer prisoners at Falmouth, just after the battle. In spite of such modernities of moving pictures, flying machines, autos, wireless transmission, no sociological event in all the world so held the attention, the breath, the heart, the head, with the people of Pendleton County as the tragic, awful, heroic and thrilling events of the Civil War. It was impossible in the inner workings of one’s own mind, not to take sides. Brothers and sisters fought in fratricidal strife. With individuals as with the nation, issues were matters of life and death. If we wish to profit by the lessons of history, our reading should include some of the philosophy. The members of the company of brave men who fought and sacrificed in that heroic struggle, on the Confederate side, were household words in Pendleton County in the earlier times. Some may yet live, but most of their names are but memories. While they were but mere boys when they enlisted they, like the soldiers of all wars, became the leading citizens of their country. It would be hard to realize that there have been any campaigns in history that endured greater privations and sufferings than these troops in comparison to which the Spanish American War might be spoken of ironically, as that titanic struggle of 1898. The Pendleton County, Kentucky, boys rendezvoused on the upper waters of the Licking River, thence moved to southwest Virginia, and operated in the three states of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and was under Col. Humphrey Marshall, and some aided the brilliant cavalry raider, General John H. Morgan. The colonel was Henry L. Gitner, of Carrollton, KY. Thomas E. Moore, Captain Robert Frank Gerrard, 1st Lieut.

Editor’s Note – The note in the above article in reference to William Frances Corbin was one of the outstanding events of the Civil War, although not many of our readers are aware of this fact. The Federal Army issued an order in 1862 forbidding recruiting Confederate Soldiers in all neutral territory. The order stated that all those found guilty would be considered as spies. In face of this order, William Francis Corbin, who had been promoted to a Lieutenant came back to Campbell (his native county) and Pendleton County to recruit soldiers for his company. Lieut. Corbin was arrested by Federal soldiers at Demossville in Pendleton County. He was tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot. Everything possible was done to save the life of Lieut. Corbin. His sister, Miss Corbin, as a last resort went to Washington and appealed to President Lincoln in person. This is possibly the only case where Lincoln ever turned down a woman's plea. He told Miss Cobin that if he reprieved her brother it would demoralize the morale of the army. Word was sent from Confederate Headquarters that if Lieut. Corbin was shot, retaliation would be resorted to and two Federal soldiers of like rank would be shot. Answer was given out that Gen. Fitzhue Lee, then a prisoner in Washington, would be shot. Thus ended what might have caused the bloodiest war of all time. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

I'm sending you a piece about a bridge out here. This bridge crosses the lake. We live three miles from Sandpoint and live near the lake. We can stand in our door and see the lake for miles, and see wild ducks and geese every day by the hundreds. I am sending the following clipping concerning our bridge, which of course is not built of wood. This question was recently answered by a newspaper our here. Very truly yours, MRS. DAVID TOWNSEND December 6, 1923 Question. -- Kootenai, Idaho 1. Please tell me the length of the wagon bridge at Sandpoint, Idaho. 2. How large is the lake? Answer: 1. 10,032 feet 2. Lake Pend Oreille is 38 miles long. Standpoint to Bayview. It had 470 miles of shore line and its surface is equivalent to 124,000 acres. Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 28 Pg. 2 Col. 3 Kelat, KY News Items The versatile Havilandsville scribe propounds this query: "Tell us how to get our young men come inside of the church, instead of remaining outside racing their autos up and down the road during services?" That boys do this is entirely the fault of their parents. Well, maybe the girls have a little to do with it. If they would refuse to have any thing to do with the boys thus misbehaving, a different song would be sung. What is the matter with the people? Every farm house and every store has to become a regular arsenal on account of the thievery of the country. One dare not leave an auto along the public highway and expect to find it intact upon his return. Stores are broken into and robbed, gasoline tanks relieved of their contents, holdups at night becoming more and more common, and stealing right along, while the country throngs with idlers. Nothing short of the shot-gun will do any good. Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 28 Pg. 3 Col. 2 PENDLETON RIDGE Mr. & Mrs. J. J. Clifford spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. J.

Mrs. John Harper, of Bethel, spent a few days the past week with her husband here. Master Elmer Doggett spent from Saturday until Monday with Lester and Leonard Price. Mr. Peter Jansen was called to his home in Covington Wednesday, by the death of his sister. Mr. & Mrs. Willie Dennis and children were Sunday guests of Mr. & Mrs. John Price, near Sunrise. W. A. Whalen and W. C. Arnold went to Cincinnati Sunday to be there Monday for the sale of cattle which they had shipped there Saturday. Mr. Aubrey McConnell, of Mt. Olivet, accompanied Bro. McConnell to Sunrise on Sunday and came on to this place where he was the guest of Mr. George Burns, until Monday. Irene Fay, two week old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Aulick, died at their home near here last Wednesday, Dec. 5th. Burial was at Mt. Vernon Friday afternoon. The family, especially the mother, have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. John Harper's store at Havilandsville was robbed Friday night of goods amounting to about $60.00, and post office money to the amount of $22.00. Tracks in the road indicated that a truck had stopped in front of the store, and tracks and mud near the window and a broken window showed how they had entered. Only a few weeks ago, a Kelat store was robbed of goods amounting to $250.00 to $300.00. Merchants had better be on the look-out, as both were probably done by the same parties, and more are apt to follow. Quite an elaborate program is being put on by the enterprising Superintendent and pupils of the Mt. Gilead Sunday School for Monday afternoon before Christmas, Christmas eve, ending with a tree with gifts for all. If near enough you can't afford to miss hearing these dial ogues and songs and seeing Old St. Nick hand out his gifts. Richland school, too is planning for an entertainment for Friday before Christmas, though not on so large a scale, but just the same, we suspect you will enjoy it, and there may be some pleasant surprises for you. So give us your presence for the afternoon of that day, Dec. 21st. The pupils and teacher need your commendation and encouragement.

Augusta Chronicle Falmouth Outlook Friday 7 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 27 Pg. 6 Col. 1 NEIGHBORING COUNTIES Harrison County News A wedding of much interest to a host of people, and perhaps a sur prise to some, was that of Miss Martha Stone and Mr. V.C. Redd which took place in Covington Wednesday evening. It was very quiet on account of a recent death of Miss Stone's family. They went for a short trip north, and will be at home to their many friends after Dec. 15th in Cynthiana. Both are well known, having been in business so long in Berry and Cynthiana, that everyone knows the lovable and popular bride and Mr. Redd is one of the successful business men of Cynthiana. This is the culmination of a long courtship and their many friends are showering them with congratulations. They both only number their friends by the extent of their acquaintances. Miss Stone was bookkeeper in the Berry Deposit Bank and when the Union Bank was organized was with them until Nov. 12. She is a daughter of Mrs. Martha Stone. Berry certainly has sustained a great loss in giving Miss Stone up. This family has been connected with all the prominent enterprises in Berry for many years. May these two of Berry's best citizens enjoy many years of happiness is the wish of all their friends. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Miss Mary Moreland, teacher at Rose Mound, Bracken county, spent the week-end with Mrs. May Humphrey. Miss Moreland taught the school here last year and has many friends here. Quite a bit of illness in the neighborhood, but most of it is not of the serious nature. Mrs. Stanley Rankin is on the sick list. Miss Hilda Whalen and Mrs. Lizzie Worrell are suffering from tonsillitis. Charlie Rainey denies most emphatically that he lost his pipe when the gasoline tank exploded at Antioch. He was slightly singed as to eyebrows and hair, but says it takes more than that to separate him from his pipe. Quite a bit of hunting in our neighborhood with game scarcer that for years. Some very careless shooting near roads where school children were passing and about the schoolhouse, but no one injured, luckily. Enjoy your sport, huntsmen, but do not endanger lives of humans or of stock. Rev. Charles Jupin, of Transylvania College, Lexington, was the guest of Mr. Forrest King for the week-end and delivered some interesting sermons Saturday evening and Sunday morning at Sunrise Christian Church. Mr. Jupin is a promising young minister and bids fair to be a splendid worker in the Master's vineyard. There are several school districts in our county that are in remote places, hard to get at, out-grown. What are the children to do? Shall they go when weather permits, missing the rest of the time, because of impossible roads, or will the patrons combine to make larger, better schools in more accessible places? We do not think consolidation is the thing as yet, but why not combination? Two of our young hunters tried to break a dog that was gun-shy. They tied the dog to one of them with a cord and then fired the gun. The dog, seeing the gun, jerked so hard that he almost caused the gunner to shoot his companions. The dog bit the trainers, broke the cord and left the home. The angry hunters fired at the dog with intent to kill, but the dog left the bullet well in the rear. If you want to buy a dog, call on or address the hunter's club, at Kelat. Our good friend, the splendid penpusher from Kelat, is trying to tell us how to keep up our Sunday school attendance, and, it truth, we sadly need the advice. We believe he is right in part at least. But there is still another view. Our experience teaches us that children desire not so much to be taught as to learn. In other words, they must be taught as if we taught them not. Let them have something to do each week, some special part to read or tell, a song to sing, or some such thing. And, above all, parents should go with them. If parents stay away, why should the children come? Now, Kelat, tell us how to get our young men to come inside the church instead of staying outside or riding around in autos during services. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Mr. Hamilton went to the blacksmith shop at Antioch Mills and he and Grandison Doggett attempted to solder a hole in a gas tank when it exploded with the above results. Word comes from his bedside that he is seriously injured. The gas tank was empty when the attempt was made to solder it, but there is always enough gas in a closed tank to form a vapor when heated. Mr. Doggett escaped with a severe shaking up. Mr. Hamilton is a son of Mrs. A.T. Hamilton of this city and is well known in this county.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 9 Nov. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 23 Pg. 1 Col. 7 Kelat, KY News Items An empty gasoline tank -- or is was supposed to be empty -- exploded last Saturday afternoon at Antioch Mills, making a terrific report, being hear for more than a mile away. The tank was brought to the blacksmith shop of Mr. Doggett by Mr. Russ Hamilton. There was a hole about one half inch in diameter in the side of the tank. Mr. Doggett with his torch was attempting to "sorter" this hole when the blow up came, as all such things do -- unexpectedly. The top of the tank was blown into "smithereens," Mr. Doggett felled to the ground, and the hair on the right side of his head badly singed, otherwise not harmed, but badly frightened. Russ Hamilton was knocked down, his clothing set on fire and Russ took to his scrapers a mass of flames. He fell exhausted in front of the store. Mr. Fred Rainey rushed to him and soon had the flames extinguished. He is pretty seriously burned, but Russ has a lot of "grit." A young Mr. Hamilton and a Mr. Sharpe were also injured. The boys learned from this experience that it won't do to monkey with an empty gasoline tank. The funny side of it all was not seen for sometime after the accident.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Oct. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 19 Pg. 1 Col. 1 CHARGED WITH MURDER Corner's Jury Charges Mrs. Maggie Ginn with Poisoning Her Husband, Pearl Ginn, on 5 August Corner J.G. Galloway and County Attorney A.H. Barker held an inquest Monday, which consumed the whole day, on the death of Pearl Ginn, who died suddenly on August 5, 1923. at his home in this city. Mr. Ginn died on August 5th and was buried in Riverside cemetery. Several days later rumors were in circulation that Ginn had been poi soned, and on August 16th his body was exhumed, and his heart, stomach and liver were sent to Cincinnati for an analysis. W. Simonson, a well known expert chemist, made the examination and made a report to the Coroner to the effect that Ginn's stomach and liver contained strych nine. The County Attorney and Coroner impaneled a jury Monday and con ducted a thorough examination of the case. More than twenty five wit nesses were examined and all evidence was taken down by a stenographer. It was testified that Mrs. Maggie Ginn, husband of the deceased, had purchased a quantity of strychnine at the drug store of O.B. Gayle in this city on May 23, 1923. Mrs. Ginn admitted that she had purchased the strychnine, but stated that she bought it to poison rabbits which were destroying her garden which is on the outskirts of town. She emphatically denied that she administered the poison to her husband. A number of witnesses were introduced who testified that a man in the county had visited the Ginn home many times during the absence of her husband, and also of the passage of notes between them. Drs. Peddicord and Brown, who were present when the body was exhumed, say that Ginn apparently was in a bad physical condition. His liver weighed six pounds whereas the normal liver weighs only two and one-half pounds. His heart was also enlarged and his stomach was affected with what is commonly called and "hour-glass stomach." This case has created a good deal of comment ever since the death of Mr. Ginn. On Sunday, August 5th, he ate a hearty dinner, and went out into the yard and laid down in the shade. It was not long when he was seized with convulsions and only lived a short time. He was buried and later taken up, on account of the rumors in circulation. The Coroner's jury was composed of the following citizen: Judge M. S. Mills, J.M. Parker, C.N. Johnson, W.D. Mefford, A. Wagaman and F. T. Chipman. The Coroner's jury returned the following verdict; "We the jury, find from all evidence that Pearl Ginn died at his residence in Falmouth, KY., Aug. 5, 1923. We also find from the evidence that his death was caused by strychnine poisoning found in the stomach and liver by chemical analysis. We further find from the evidence that said poison, we believe, was administered by Maggie Ginn, wife of the deceased."

Poage, of Brooksville, was in town Saturday and reports that he was in the vicinity of Ivor, Campbell county a few days ago, and that about a mile south of Ivor is the tomb of John Gregg, made of stone. An inscription on the slab over the tomb shows that "John Gregg was born in Ohio, October 15, 1717, died October 5, 1799." John Gregg was born 14 years before George Washington, Father of His Country, and passed away a little more than two months before Washington's death. Ohio must have been a wilderness, indeed, at the time of the birth of John Gregg, and Kentucky was not the center of civilization at the time of his death 124 years ago. -- Augusta Chronicle Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Oct. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 19 Pg. 8 Col. 3 Kelat, KY News Items The three K's seem to have gained a permanent footing hereabouts, and meet semi-when it suits them, whether monthly, weekly or oftener. The Sunday School Council of Curry M.E. Church, South, met at the home of Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Brannock Jr. on last Friday night. After spe nding some time discussing Sunday school problems and laying claims for the Sunday school quarter, an hour or more was spent socially, refresh ments being served. Those present were: Rev. J. E. Roberts, Mrs. & Mrs. B. N. Taylor, Felix Taylor, Mr. & Mrs. M.C. Patrick, Raphael Patrick, Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Criswell, Milton and Geneva Criswell, Mrs. Mag Brannock, Mr. & Mrs. B.W. Brannock and Miss Gertrude Ecklar. The occasion was edify ing and a profitable one, socially and spiritually. The memorial service last Sunday at the Baptist church here so far exceeded our expectations that we ware at a loss to know what to say and how to say it. In the first place the day was ideal -- just right every way, neither cold nor hot. To help on, Bro. Roberts, of Benson, abbreviated his meeting somewhat, giving the people a better opportunity to attend the memorial services. We also wish to thank Bro. Roberts for the many courtesies extended the Masonic fraternity. After a few songs by everyone, Mrs. Kate Price, presiding at the organ, a quartette com posed of Messrs. Logan Maffett, Eureka Whitaker, Richard Ammerman and Mr. Henderson, the Piggly-Wiggly man, sang "Down [in] the Valley" beautifully and pathetically. Bro. Northcutt, pastor of the church here, made a short address, prefatory to what was to follow. Bro. Northcutt is a sterling good fellow and his address was not only good but well received. The Rev. Gibson Davis, of Cynthiana, was then introduced and began with a rapid fire of words, eloquent, logical and instructive. he simply held the crowded house spellbound for near an hour. Masonically speaking it was one of the best and most entertaining talks we have ever heard. Bro. Davis is small in stature but a giant in intellect. We don't see where he keeps it all -- but its there. He presented many new thoughts on masonry and the "boys" of Kelat Lodge, No. 809, F. & A.M., are awfully tickled, so to speak. The church was crowded to its fullest extent, many hanging on the doors and shutters. Yes the people came out, and were no doubt well repaid, as everything "went off" as cheerfully as marriage bells. Even the Sunrise Brass Band was so full of music that it had to hand it out. By the way, the Sunrise boys are rapidly coming to the front and are playing good music. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

The greater violence seems to have been upon the side of the mob which objected to the parade, but the fact that ten klowns were fined $10 each for "illegally carrying weapons" shows where started the lawlessness that ended in a pitiful tragedy for which, no doubt, somebody should swing for murder, and resulted in klowns with minor injuries procuring medical aid and leaving the physicians' offices with their regalia tucked under their coats. The ungowned mob in Carnegie deserves no defense. It would be fortunate if a conviction should follow the killing of the misguided buffoon in the bed sheet whose adventure ended in the morgue. The conviction might be a salutary lesson to other hot heads, as well as justice. But it is true nevertheless that men cannot band together and swagger in the streets with pistols displayed, wearing the regalia of an organization which, in public opinion represents race prejudice and intolerance, in a country pledged by its every tradition to tolerance, without provoking rioting and murder. Setting the state for lawlessness, and opening the play, invites the climax. Louisville Times ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Josiah Whitaker in 1799. He owned over 1000 acres of land around Oddville, most of which was in timber. The house is built of logs. In 1850 it was weather boarded and an upstairs added. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Whitaker now live in it. Rev. Josiah Whitaker married Miss Honey, of Bourbon County. To this union were born 12 children. Some died in infancy. To each of those that were married he gave a farm. To his son, Parker, he gave the farm where Noah Kendall lives; to Mrs. Suzanna Brannock he gave what is known as the Ewing place; to Mrs. Nancy Crow, the farm now owned by Mr. Jeff VanHook; to Mrs. Cole Hayes the farm Mr. Lush Hayes owns; to Mrs. Elizabeth Garnett, the farm where Mr. Wm. Burden lives; to Mac Whitaker, J. J. Whitaker's father, all the land around Oddville. The first store was built in upper Oddville in 1849. In 1850 it was named Mt. Washington and was granted a post office; but as there was another Mt. Washington in Kentucky, the name had to be changed. Rev. J. C. Crow, son-in-law of Josiah Whitaker, gave it the name Oddville because it was such an odd little village. Rev. J. C. Crow built the house that Dr. J. T. Batson now lives in. In 1859 James Hodson and wife came here from Cincinnati. He bought a lot from H. M. Whitaker and built the first store in lower Oddville. In 1860 the pike was built from Oddville to Cynthiana. In 1853 Dr. J.D. Batson came from Ohio and married Suzannah Crow, granddaughter of Josiah Whitaker. He built the house now owned by Dr. J. T. Batson. H. Mac Whitaker built the house where Mr. Mac Fowler lives, where Mr. Jenkins lives and the house torn down by Mr. Orie Hayes to make room for his new house. Mr. Hodson sold the store to Rev. Lancaster in 1862 and built another store on the opposite corner, which was torn down to make way for our school ground. About 40 years ago the pike was finished to Claysville. The first church was built of logs in the valley near the Ewing place. It's first pastor, Rev. Josiah Whitaker. In later years H. Mac Whitaker gave ground for a cemetery, church and school house. The site for the church was the same as that present time. The first school house near here was built of logs on the opposite side of the pike from Mr. Albert Kearns' residence. The next school house was built in the church yard. In 1879 it was moved into the hitch lot of the church. About 30 years ago a new building was erected where Charley Maharney now lives. In 1915 our present building was erected. In the early 60's there was a wagon shop. two blacksmith shops, cabinet maker's shop, a saw mill, grist mill, lime pit and coal pit here. Mr. Tom Whitaker, nephew of Josiah Whitaker, made coffins and furniture. Rev. J. C. Crow was a cabinet maker. Fifty or sixty years ago you could have anything made at Oddville, from a cradle to a coffin. Mrs. H. Mac Whitaker, Mrs. Rachael Cole Hays and Mrs. Nancy Crow spun wool into yarn for stockings and jeans for men's clothing, striped and plaid linsey for dresses, and blankets. They spun flax into tread and made cloth for sheets, pillow-cases and towels. H. Mac Whitaker sawed lumber to make houses, coffins and furniture: burned rocks to make lime and burned wood to make charcoal. Mr. Thomas Hays, son-in-law of Josiah Whitaker, was a shoemaker. There was a tailor to make men's clothing, and a dress maker. Now we have a doctor, a preacher, a church, a high school building, a blacksmith shop and that is all. For forty years we had two stores in Oddville. Now we can't buy a shoe string, and what can we have made? Thirty five years ago there was a tobacco market here. Mr. Henry Wheeler bought and prized tobacco in upper Oddville and Mr. Richard Rees in lower Oddville. We also had a wool and stock market, but now we have to sell our butter and eggs to the huckster and take everything else to Cynthiana except our veal calves. We sell them to Messrs. Joe Mathers and Orie Hayes, the great great grandsons of Josiah Whitaker. The descendants of Josiah Whitaker now living in and near Oddville are -- The Basters, Hays, Mathers, Kendalls, Leslies and Toadvines. John Whitaker Sr. was born May 24, 1753, in Virginia and died Octo ber 27, 1883 (1833?) near Beaver Baptist Church and is buried in Beaver Baptist Cemetery. Ann his wife was born June 18, 1760 and died July 5, 1842. He was called to fight in the Revolutionary War, and won acquaintancey for bravery. After the war he settled at what is now Paris, KY. It was then a wilderness. He was the father of ten children: Josiah, John Wesley, Peter, Isaac, and Simeon: Susannah, Amelia, Ann, Margaret and Mary, and reared nine adopted children.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 20 July 1923 Vol. 17 No. 7 Pg. 6 Col. 3 CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER ALVA NEAVE, WHO SHOT AND KILLED PARIS HAMILTON IN BRACKEN COUNTY IS HELD UNDER $2,500 BOND. The examining trial on last Friday of Alva Neave, charged in the warrant with having murdered Paris Hamilton on the night of June 25 at the home of Joesph Neave, this county, by shooting him with a single-barrel shot-gun loaded with No. 5 shot, from which he died on Wednesday following, was attended by a large crowd of relatives of both families and spectators who sat for several hours listening to the evidence which was practically published in last week's Review. All of the eye witnesses were examined by the Commonwealth and disclosed that Paris and Hansel Hamilton and Carl Jett went to Joseph Neave's in the early afternoon and stayed but a short time, returning to Brooksville, from where Paris left later and went back to Joseph Neave's about 6:30 o'clock p.m.; that Mr. Neave went out and talked to Paris, and as he left him, Paris asked him to tell Icie Belle, Mr. Neave's daughter, to come out, which she did, remaining until her father and brother called her to come into the house, which seemed to anger Paris, who was asked to leave by Mr. Joseph Neave and his son, Alva: that Paris got out of his machine on the opposite side from the house, muttering something they could not understand, finally coming around from behind the machine and said: "Throw the ________ out," when, within fourteen steps of the door, Alva Neave shot through a screened window, the load taking effect principally in the lower bowels, groins, etc. Stanton Hamilton testified that Paris, realizing he was going to die, made a statement to him the day before he died, explaining his position and version of the case, claiming that Neave made a certain remark very derogatory about Miss Icie Bell Neave and called Paris a bad name, all of which was denied by the three Neave eye witnesses. After hearing all the evidence, Judge Dodson charged Alva Neave with manslaughter and fixed his bond at $2,500, which was immediately executed by the following persons voluntarily signing the bonds as sureties: T.M. Johnson, Rube Rigg, M. J. Lucas, Clarence Miller, J. G. King, J. J. Neave, L.F. Barnes, E.G. Mardis and O.T. Wagoner.

[Long article 3 columns] Falmouth Outlook Friday 13 July 1923 Vol. 17 No. 6 Pg. 4 Col. 6 SOME INTERESTING PENDLETON HISTORY (By Nutty Bill) The English settlement made in Pendleton County in 1848 and known as the double log cabin settlement. In the spring of 1848 some fifteen or twenty families, of English descent, purchased several hundred acres of land some five miles northeast of Falmouth on the Falmouth and Foster road, on the west side of Kinkaid creek. The settlement was known as the English settlement of the Double Log Cabins, on account of two cabins built near each other and the space between being covered over and the two made into a double dwelling. The farm where the cabins stood is not owned by Thomas Jacobs, and it was also know as the Kavanaugh farm. The following families arrived in 1848 from Merry England, and formed the settlement. The heads of the families were Joseph Gawthorne, Joseph Brittock, James and William Fanthorpe, Joseph Dunstall, Jack Graves, Billy Birkingshire, Wm. Wingdorm, Henry Hazel, Thomas Parnell, John Wicks, James Shanks, Ralph Tomlinson, George Doel and several other families. The members of the settlement lived together until about the beginning of the Civil War. When the war broke out between the States the members of the settlement allied themselves with the Union cause, and a number of them enlisted in the 7th Kentucky Cavalry and the 18th Kentucky Infantry. After the enlistment of some of the members in the army, others began selling their farms and locating in town, or buying farms closer to town. The artisans came to town and worked at their trades. John Wicks was a house and sign painter, which he followed up to 1882, when he fell while painting the cupola of the court house and the fall made him a cripple the remainder of his life. Henry Hazel was a blacksmith and made the first iron picket fence around the court house square. Joseph Brittock was the butcher of the town. Ralph Tomlinson was the ticket and freight agent for the Old Covington and Lexington railroad, afterwards known as the Kentucky Central. Joseph Gawthorne, after he came out of the army, conducted a saloon on the Eckert corner. After he quit the saloon business he went to Dayton, Ohio. Of the number that constituted the set tlement there is not one living and of all their descendants, Thomas Shanks of East Falmouth, son of James Shanks, is the only male descendant of the settlement now living in the county or town. Mrs. Clara Frazier and Mrs. Finnel Shoemaker, granddaughters of the Joseph Dunstall, are the only ones of the Dunstall family in the town. Mrs. Tho mas Bell and Miss Hattie Wicks are the last of the Wicks family. Mrs. Julia Murphy is the last of the Doel family. Mrs. Belle Scott and her brother, Thomas Shanks, are the last of a numerous family. The other descendants are scattered from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The members that composed the settlement were a social lot and there was never a Saturday but what more or less of them would meet in town and have a social bout in the top rooms of a saloon. As long as the settlement held together, they had their usual yearly picnic or dinner, where they met and related stories of old England. The best story handed down occurred between Wm. Fanthourpe and Joseph Gawthorne, William was one of the best farmers to leave Merry England, and he never tired of telling about the big vegetables he raised. At the last annual picnic when William was feeling good and he was relating to Joseph about the big turnips he raised just before he left England. "Yes," said Joseph, "I remember the year I was in France." "And what were you doing in France?" asked William. "I was making large kettles." "Large kettles," repeated William, "and what were you going to do with the large kettles?" "I was going to cook those big turnips you raised." said Joseph. Miss _____ Gawthorne, sister of Joseph Gawthorne, brought with her from the race tracks of England her love for fine and fast horses. She was one of the finest and best horse women of her day. There was no horse to wild for her to ride, or fence to high, when she was following her hounds, for she and her horse to go over. She never failed to be at the killing and always the recipient of the bush of the fox. After the chase, when then met to celebrate, she could put the men under the table when the wine flowed freely. She was a whole-souled typical English horse-woman of her day, and when it came to picking the winner in a horse race she cold name the winner nine times out of ten. Several years after the settlement was located a noted character and his family from England came over and took up their abode with the original members of the settlement. From his peculiarity and dress he was known by all the old settlers in the county as General Scott. He was retired and never mixed with the people and was never known to be without two big navy revolvers strapped around his waist, and a big Mexican spur on each heel. He would not allow anyone to approach him from behind. It was supposed he was with Wellington at Waterloo and the battle queered him and he always was looking for the Little Corporal. He was a peaceful citizen and never offered to violate any of the laws of his adopted country. He died in the early eighties and Joseph Gawthorne married his widow. Thomas Parnell, who died in Newport two years ago. was the last member of the original settlers. Mrs. Edith Herbert, formerly Miss Edith Gawthorne, of Dayton, OH, who left here forty years ago, and her niece Mrs. Blanch Grider, paid a visit to the old neighbors who remembered her as a young girl.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 6 July 1923 Vol. 17 No. 5 Pg. 1 Col. 6 KELAT, KY NEWS ITEMS Yes we were there -- so were about one hundred others. It was the 50th anniversary of John H. Rose and Mrs. Rose's marriage -- their golden wedding, in fact. It all happened in the way of a surprise, Mr. & Mrs. Rose not being apprised of the "gathering" until Tuesday morning, June 26, the crowd began to come in. The day was beautiful and every body, wearing his sunshinyest smile, as the crowd mingled cracking jokes and making the other fellow feel like a ten-year-old. The visitors brought in great loads of eatable, all of which was enjoyed to the full est at the noon hour, no one enjoying it more than Bro. Roberts. One seldom sees a greater variety nor more of it than was spread for mid-day luncheon. We even grew uneasy about Ernest Rose -- he was so full of happiness, chicken, ice-cream and other good things. Just before enter ing the dining hall, Bro. Roberts called for "attention and in the pres ence of Mrs. Stella Robinson (a daughter) and two sons, Ernest and Ed Rose, and the crowd of visitors, Mr. & Mrs. Rose were again wedded by Bro. Roberts, the ceremony being unique, that being a happy vein always through it, as well as good sound sense. Immediately after the cere mony, congratulations were extended by each of the visitors, winding up with "Dad, I wasn't there when you were first married, but I'm here now." Of course, none other than Ed Rose got that off. Many nice, useful wedding presents were received by this venerable couple. In making the occasion a brilliant success there was but one thing needed and not there, a photographer. We'd like to have a "picter" of all that crowd. At the conclusion of the day's pleasures "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" was feelingly sang by the immense crowd of visitors, "Good-byes and God bless you's" following. The hearts of these good people - Mr. & Mrs. Rose - were greatly touched, and the two boys - Ernest and Ed - and the daughter - Mrs. Stella Robinson - were never happier. They were simply overwhelmed with joy. Mr. & Mrs. Rose never looked more at peace with the world, nor did they ever display greater contentment and marital bliss. Those present were as follows: Mrs. & Mrs. Edgar Hutton and Roscoe Mrs. Kate Price and daughter, Miss Odella Mr. & Mrs. L. Hedges, two daughters and son. Mrs. Newt King, a sister of Mrs. Rose. E. L. Simpson, wife and children Mr. & Mrs. Will Gardner Mrs. Thomas Rose Mr. & Mrs. Dille Craig Mr. & Mrs. Finn Terry Mr. & Mrs. Newt Rose and two daughters Mrs. Lizzie Rose Ora Price, wife and children Mr. & Mrs. Calvin Whitaker and children Mr. & Mrs. Bert Grissom Rev. & Mrs. Bole Robinson Mr. & Mrs. Fed Elliott and two children Mr. & Mrs. R.N.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 6 July 1923 Vol. 17 No. 5 Pg. 5 Col. 4 PARIS HAMILTON SHOT BY ALVIE NEAVES HAMILTON DIES AT ONE O'CLOCK P.M. ON WEDNESDAY AFTER INTENSE SUFFERING [Brooksville Review] On Monday night, about 8 o'clock, Alvie Neaves, 24 shot, Paris Hamilton with a single barrel shotgun, loaded with number five shot, at the home of young Neaves near Holton's Store. After the shooting, Mr. Neaves immediatley telephoned to Deputy Sheriff H.H. Metcalfe what he had done and that he was ready to give himself up and also sent for Dr. B.F. Workman. Both Deputy Sheriff Metcalfe and Dr. Workman arrived on the scene at about the same time. Dr. Workman dressed the wounds as best he could on the roadside and then took Hamilton to the home of his father, Aught Hamilton, on Hamilton Ridge, and on closer examination found that the shot had spread and struck Paris in spots from his knees to his neck, most of which had entered his abdomen, rendering his condi tion serious. Deputy Sheriff Metcalfe brought Neaves before County Judge Dodson and County Attorney Jacobs, and after questioning defendant, bond was fixed at $1,500 which was immediately executed with his father Jos. Neaves as security. In young Neaves' statement before the county judge, we learned that Hamiliton had visited the Neave home twice on Monday evening, the first time going away peaceably, and on his latter trip he was in front of the house, talking to Neaves' sister, Miss Icie Bell Neaves, and that he went to the door and said, "Come on in, Sis, you have been out there long enough." Whereupon, she returned to the house, this making Hamil ton angry and he got out of the machine on the side opposite the house, saying something which he, Neaves, could not understand, and came around from behind the machine a few steps toward the house, calling, "Put him on the outside" several times, when young Neaves found the gun by a window, which was screened in, and as Hamilton came a little further around the machine toward the house, he fired through the screen, which evidently somewhat checked the force of the shot. Young Neaves alleged that Hamilton was drinking Monday afternoon, and it is also said that Deputy Sheriff Metcalfe found a gallon jug, one-half full of moonshine, in Paris' machine. Young Neaves is single, about 24 years old, and as far as we have been able to learn has never had any trouble. He is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Joe Neaves, who have lived in the Neave vicinity for many years. On Tuesday, Dr. Taulbee, of Maysville, was called in consultation with Dr. Workman, but Paris refused to be taken to Maysville to be operated upon and as both doctors did not seem to feel any certainly as to the success of an operation, they did not insist. Paris Hamilton was about 28 years of age, and a son of Aught Hamilton of near Brooksville. He was a good worker and a peaceable young man when sober, but when under the influence of liquor, he was extremely high tempered and seemed to lose complete control of his mind. It will be remembered that on June 14, 1915, when the corner stone of the court house was being laid, he shot and killed town marshall Nim Showalter, the shot taking effect in about the same position of his body as in the case of Hamilton. Paris Hamilton lingered until Wednesday afternoon about 1:00 o'clock, when he passed away, after about 41 hours of intense suffering. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS

Indeed, yes. I've only told you a fraction of what happened. Chief Tecumseh was the one who led the Indians. The Kentuckians chased him and the British Capt. Hull out of Fort Detroit and across the Detroit River and up through the county I live in to the next county where he was killed and the British ran for Fort Niagara. You can pick up pieces of it from the internet. Try "River Raisin" or "Massacher of River Raisin" and "Fort Detroit" and "Fort Malden" (the British fort in Canada that is just a few miles from me and has been restored for tourists). Every time I visit Fort Malden, and especially the battlefield in Monroe, Michigan, my feelings really run deep. There is a street there called Kentucky St. I wrote a lot about it in the Kentucky list 2-3 years ago.
