Over the weekend I finished another intriguing book. It's called: Edmonson County, KY. United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit vs Mammoth Cave Development Company, George D. Morrison, William M. O'Neal and Otis Turner, March 1927. This is a fascinating look at the time of the "Cave Wars" at Mammoth Cave where individuals were diverting visitors from all over the United States to the "New Entrance". George D. Morrison and his company opened a "New Entrance" to Mammoth Cave which connected to a part of Mammoth. By road signs, brochures and other advertisements, tourists were directed to the "New Entrance" instead of going to the main cave. The heirs of John Croghan who owned Mammoth Cave, brought suit against Morrison and his associates and the case shown in this book is the entire Court of Appeals case. Without a lot of legalese, this book not only gives one a much better picture of the cave, but of the individuals connected to Mammoth Cave. It includes lists of the guides at that time and how long they had worked at Mammoth Cave, testimonies from people who had been tricked into the wrong entrance, the CCC camp which was stationed there with testimony of how they had been duped. Also included is a time line of the life of George D. Morrison himself, an oil man who came to Edmonson County and decided to profit from Mammoth Cave. Photocopies of the entire suit. 146 pages including a full-name index If you would like to see the index, write me privately as usual.

Just a random thought or so to end the week. First, the hackers are still slamming lists and another one of our members has had her password compromised. If you receive a post from anyone, off or on the list, with a strange message and a link, please don't click on it. The one I received this morning was a standard one where the list member was supposedly trapped in Spain (pick any country), had their passport and money stolen and needed me to wire them money immediately so they could return home. The list is endless - links to a site where someone supposedly got independently wealthy, etc. Just be careful! On a personal note. I've mentioned before that when we get stuck on our research, that it helps to go back and review what we did - sometimes many years ago. I just had this happen again. I'm working on a book on the Creek and Webb families of Warren and Barren Co KY who spread out all over, many settling in Franklin County, IL. I had a stack of papers 8 inches tall at least of data - family sheets, pedigree charts, names, names, names! This line is of interest to me as one of the early Gorin brothers, Gladin, had a daughter Sarah who married into the Creek family. But, I'd put it aside and forgotten about the tons of papers I had - it is a large family! This week I have been sorting through all those documents and getting them in order to present as a book when bingo - two things hit me like a ton of bricks. My maternal grandfather, John Logan Pyle, was born and raised in Franklin Co IL. In going through the paperwork two names popped out at me as if in neon flashing lights. One of the Webbs (who intermarried with the Creeks in Franklin Co) had a wife, Sarah Pyle; another had a wife, a Smothers. Hey! Those tie in with my family tree. My grandfather's mother was a Smothers and I had learned over the years that all the Pyle and Smothers families in Franklin Co IL were kin. So now, I have some searching to do. Is my family connected to the Webbs and Creeks from this part of the country? Remember, I am a Gorin by marriage; my own family had just a brief connection to KY, in Adair Co. Maybe I do have some roots here that I didn't know about. Again, it might be a good idea to go through those stacks of papers. Take a second look at the brick walls you encountered years ago and maybe one more brick will crumble. Our society meeting last night was really great; Sam Terry, one of our past presidents, put on a power-point presentation on some of our female ancestors in Barren Co who made a difference. The summer issue of our quarterly, "Traces" will expand on the list of 5 gals Sam told us about and add 11 more - some quite interesting. Have a great weekend and I hope to see you all on Monday!

Instead of a regular post today, I thought you might be interested in the following. Martha Wright Lee contacted me earlier this week and noted that she had some information on a lady that I had mentioned in a Monroe County post some time back, Zula Gumm. Martha is from Akersville and used to live in Glasgow. She said the following (with her permission to post here). Martha said: I'm the great niece of Zula Gumm whom you wrote about as having the switchboard in her home. She was also a family photographer as was her Uncle Robert Cosby. Her dark room for developing pictures was in her bedroom. She was also the Akersville Post Mistress as females were called at that time. The post office was in her hall & I remember as a little girl big bags of mail being delivered & she & my Mother sorting the mail. I understand why talking on the phone can be a hassle. She went to the first school of photography in the south. McMinnville Tn, Southern School of Photography. William S Lively was the photographer/teacher. She was sent there by her Uncle Robt Cosby who was a photographer & I am assuming also his student. She as the other students lived at the school, a 2 or 3 story beautiful Victorian brick as did other students. Unfortunately the school burned with a lot of his equipment in the 1920s. She as well as her uncle & other students modeled for him. She had silky black hair & dark brown eyes, a beautiful young woman. His school was internationally famous & he was a friend of Mr Eastman of Kodak fame. His pictures have been in the Smithsonian & students from around the world went there including Ky's " prophet" Edgar Cayce. She also attended a school for switchboard operators in Springfield Tn when she was young. All this was before the 1920s. When my grandmother [her sister died at age 36 in 1927 my Aunt Zula took in my mother, Esther Jones who was 18 yrs old & my Mother's sisters, Ada Jones 17 yrs old & Mable Jones who was only 8 at the time. I spent a lot of time with her & loved her like a grandmother. Isn't that a great story? This is what brings our ancestors "alive" and not just names on the page of a book. Martha has other information and if you're like me, you'd like to hear more. Thank you Martha Sandi

Would anyone know how to get more info on the cemetery? There is a listing for Margaret Harper. I .need dates. My ggrandmother was Margaret Harper and I have been searching for her for 20 years. She was married to Pat Riordan but he divorced her to marry his widowed sisterin-law. I don't know whether she took her maiden name back or not. This would be a wonderful find if it is my Margaret. ---- [email protected] wrote:

I've finished scanning the 1857 Barren Co marriages. This will be the last done until after Memorial Day as the genealogy room is being used for absentee voting now at the County Clerk's office. This year was tough; many of the documents were torn or faded. The Clerk is still using this blue paper and the ink just didn't last as long. Thus, I had to scan them darker to bring out the handwriting. There were 139 marriages this year plus one marriage that apparently didn't happen as the license was not filled out. The same information is shown as in previous years. If you would like to see a copy of the surnames who married in 1857, write me privately and I will forward it. They will be shown like: Jones-Smith, no first names. I'll be away from the computer for most of the rest of the morning, but will reply when I can later today.

I've been working on the summer issue of "Traces" - the quarterly of the South Central KY Historical & Genealogical Society, of which I am editor. One of the articles which will appear in this issue was written years ago by the late Jimmy Simmons. He was for many years a history teacher at Glasgow High School, a Civil War pro and a great historian. We miss Jimmy and his knowledge of the area! The article I'm showing here is taken from one of his newspaper columns and I found it to be a sweet remembrance of the earlier days in Barren County when Jimmy was a young man. SO, instead of a post on genealogical statistics, I thought I would share this for your weekend. Saturday’s For the Kids! From “A Glimpse From the Past – What Glasgow Used To Be Like, Jimmy Simmons. Saturdays were for the kids in the 1930’s. Everyone came to town on Saturdays. Early on Saturday morning the country people started to town. Very few people had farm trucks in the ‘30’s and cattle were still driven to the livestock market on the hoof. The only person on the Old Bowling Green Road that I can remember owning a truck was Neal Boles. The old road had no pavement after you left the city limits, Huggin’s Branch didn’t even have a bridge over it during those days, and one of my earliest memories is of being told how Theodore Winlock had drowned while crossing the branch when it as up. His body and the buggy in which he was riding were both washed a good ways down stream. We were up early on Saturday to watch the parade of people headed for town. Some were in buggies, some on horseback, some in wagons and a few in cars. The wagons were the most prevalent method of transportation; the older members of the family seated in straight backed hickory bottomed chairs and the younger members sitting on quilts spread over straw. Sometimes a pig secured in a box occupied the back of the wagon. Most of the cars were Fords – A Models or T Models. Every family had a basket of eggs and many had a cream can. How long has it been since you saw a woman wear a sunbonnet to town? For that matter, when have you seen a buggy on the streets of Glasgow? I can remember well the last person who came up the Bowling Green Road past home in a buggy; it was Mrs. Mac Mansfield, who always drove one to church. The Big Spring Bottom was the hitching place and on Saturdays was always full; now the trees are gone, the Big Spring is mostly covered by concrete, and a parking lot covers the spot. The parade started early and by 8:00 we had seen enough and were ready to join the march to town; of course the Trigg didn’t open before 9:30 but we felt as if we needed to get there early to get a good seat. Johnny Mack Brown was my favorite and if he was on, or if another favorite was playing we often spent the day. My brother Tommy and I, along with the Wright brothers (Carl and Eddie) would occupy every seat in the house before the day was over. If we stayed too long, Mrs. Wright would send Eddie and Carl’s older brother, Garland, to get us. Garland worked at the Ragland-Potter or J. D. Reynolds and after working all day was not too happy with his brothers when he had to walk to town to get us, and sometimes he expressed his bad mood by kicking Eddie and Carl most of the way home. Poor Carl wasted away and died of an incurable sickness when he was in his early teens; he was my particular “buddy” and Tommy and Eddie usually paired off. What wonderful things the dime stores had! Lead soldiers were only a nickel; cap pistols a quarter. I had (and still do) the largest collection of soldiers on the street; at least after I bought out “Maste” Nunn. Speaking of “Mater” Nunn; Mater was the organizer of the local ball team. We called ourselves the Cleveland Avenue Indians. “Mater” was manager, captain, etc. (Self-appointed). We played in Totty’s field where the Hunt house now stands at the corner of Cleveland and Coombs Boulevard. Totty’s field was also a cow pasture and you soon learned to watch your step! Some of our gang were Billy and Edwin Totty (Edwin was killed in WWII on a bombing raid), Mater and Winston Nunn, Edward Kilgore, John Beatty, and Edward Albany (Edward slung his bat when he hit the ball and I have a scar to prove it). Our greatest rival was the “Gas House Gang”, which consisted of “Snake” Simmons, George Bertram, Frank Bertram, “Hamfat” Hiser, “Pig” Britt and David Lee. The “Gas House Gang” usually brought their own “Ump.” We had very little equipment and the length of the game often depended on how long the owner of the ball would stay. Some had no gloves (did you ever catch a ball barehanded?) and only a few had caps. My, My! How did we do it. I guess that we just didn’t realize that kids didn’t know how to play ball without the city to provide playing fields and adults to tell us when and how to play, and furnish us with uniforms to play in! Our parents didn’t even come to watch us. I guess we were too dumb to know what we were missing, and all we knew how to do was enjoy ourselves! There were always street preachers in the Courthouse yard on Saturdays and up the Lower Depot Street you could always find a “medicine show”, with bottles of some magic elixir to cure everything from corns to consumption. After checking out all of these interesting things we usually went home to play cowboy. What fine horses our parent’s bean stick made! We had a tree house and even a cub house with homemade bunks and an old stove; of course, it was formerly a hog shed but we didn’t mind. After spending the day in town, most everyone went home about dark to milk, etc., but around seven they came back to town. My family always went, for it was on Saturday night that we bought our groceries. It has been many years since we had such Saturday night crowds but I remember them as if it were yesterday. I can still smell the popcorn, and my mouth fairly waters at the thought of the ice cream!

Another interesting site on a subject that has puzzled historians for more than 400 years - what happened to the Lost Colony Roanoke Colony? Dating back to the 1580's an entire colony disappeared and clues have been searched for to find what happened to these early settlers. Maybe an important clue has been discovered?
