Hi Gang, I'v acquired the Combs High School year book for 1948 -1949 and just wondered if any of you attended this school during this year or know of anyone that did. This year book belonged to one of the teachers, Pauline Fields. Lots of students left their autographs in there. Miss Pauline Fields must have been well liked.

We have recently discovered that one of our uncles had a child out of wedlock. Here is the story we were told: Our oldest uncle, Fult(on) Pratt, who was the son of Hiram Gilbert and Mary Liz Pigman Pratt had a son out of wedlock. That son joined the army during WWII and was stationed in or near Alaska. While in Alaska, he drowned. We know that the mother was probably from Perry or Knott County, but that is all. Some of the older cousins vaguely remember a young boy living for a short time with our grandparents. Does this story sound familiar to anyone?

Hi Gang, I just added two more cemeteries to the Perry Co Stuff site. Albert "A. B." Campbell cemetery at Brownsfork donated by Ollie Campbell Teltow and the Samuel Napier Cemetery donated by Pat Horne. Thanks to both, Ollie and Pat. Lynda **************Start the year off right.
