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. Price Mr. & Mrs. Roscoe Price and two children Mr. & Mrs. Z.T. Simpson Mr. & Mrs. Ed Rose and children Rev. Ernest Rose, wife and daughter Mr. & Mrs. John C. Petty and family Mr. & Mrs. John Price and son Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Elliott Bro. Roberts Mr. & Mrs. Willie Simpson and family Mr. & Mrs. George F. Henry and girls Arthur King Rev. Newt King and daughter Mrs. Addie Eaton and daughter Mrs. George Banfield and children. Owing to rush, much is left out. 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
