New York Times, 25 July 1888. "Hands With Healing Power. A Farmer who is making remarkable cures in Kentucky. "Bowling Green, Ky., July 24. For some weeks rumors of wonderful cures by one "Dr." John BEARD, effected by the mere laying on of hands, have been coming from Allen County, which adjoins this (Warren) County. James BUCHANAN, for years a sufferer from rheumatism, who was drawn into a knot, a great sufferer and entirely helpless, was among the pronounced cures. His case was taken in hand by the "doctor" some four weeks ago, and within a week he was apparently a well man, with good use of himself, and has so remained until now. Numerous similar cases are reported, and the fame of the doctor has grown until he is sent for far and wide. "Dr." Beard is not a physician, but a rough-looking working man, who has spent his life in farming. He is about 35 years old, but recently discovered his power, which he has since been kept actively exercising. He is uneducated, simple-mannered, and retiring, but does not hesitate to treat all patients, though he promises none of them a cure, telling them he cannot tell himself how much good he can do them. He operates by tapping the affected parts gently with the back of his fingers, or slightly rubbing with his hands. He seems heavily surcharged with electricity, so much so that a mere touch shocks the patient and causes a burning pain in the affected part, but as the soreness of the affection goes away the pain ceases, and his touch no longer shocks. A number of responsible persons have seen his operations and testify to his wonderful cures. "The last case undertaken by him is that of a young lady here, the daughter of W. C. SOUTHWICK of this place. She has been helpless as a baby for several years, both lower limbs being as if lifeless, except for racking pain at times in them. Mr. Southwick, hearing of "Dr." Beard, went after him, and to-day he began on the case. Although the young lady's limbs have been long numb to the touch of extraneous objects, the moment the doctor tapped the bottoms of her feet with the back of his fingers she screamed with the pain of the shock. Soon, however, the shrunken vein swelled with the circulating blood, the pain ceased to follow his touch, and to-night she can move her feet and the lower parts of her limbs with ease and freely. To-morrow he will apply his healing hands to her body, and she has every prospect of permanent relief. His hands are to the afflicted part like burning plasters drawing out the poison of disease. It can only be accounted for on the principle of animal magnetism, and the numerous cures of rheumatism made by 'Dr." Beard, attested to by responsible people, make the only claim this story can have to public credence. A number of similar instances can be given, but the treatment and results of all are so akin that only these two well-authenticated ones are deemed necessary. "Dr." Beard will operate on a number of other Bowling Green people."

As you well remember, before 1792, there was no Commonwealth of Kentucky. The lands lie in Virginia and the last county claiming our lands was Fincastle County, Virginia and Kentucky was also known as Kentucky County, Virginia. In April of 1774, a group of surveyors headed out to begin surveying the area that would many years later end up as the original three counties in Kentucky. Some of the Fincastle surveys laid outside of Kentucky, but for the major part, the men appointed were tromping through the wilderness areas seldom seen by the white man. It must have been an awesome task; even more desolate than when settlers started coming into Kentucky en masse after the Revolutionary War. Only a few brave souls had been in our land and the surveyors were met with challenges every step of the way. Surveyors included John Floyd, Hancock Taylor, James Douglas and Jesse Hite who departed from Smithfield, Virginia and began their trek by boat down the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers. At every spot along the way, they sketched out their surveys with the help of their work crew. Can you imagine the excitement, fear and wonder these men experienced? Trees so thick it blotted out the sky. Rivers and creeks so pure that one could see to the bottom? Animals of every variety and always the illusive Native American who might be around the next bend. The men reached the Falls of the Ohio on the 28th of May, a long trip already. Fatigue must have overcome them at times, but the lure of the new lands pushed them on. Twenty-eight surveys were done after their arrival at the Falls covering 40,000 acres. This would encompass the present-day city of Louisville running south to the Watterson Expressway and east to Anchorage. On June 3rd the surveyors split into two groups – one headed by Hancock Taylor. Taylor surveyed the area around Harrodsburg and then moved over to near Frankfort on the 17th. John Floyd, leader of the second party, rejoined Taylor on July 1st and they camped near present day Midway, KY. Now they split into 3 parties with James Douglas and Isaac Hite in the third group. Floyd surveyed the North Fork of Elkhorn; Taylor went along the South Fork of the Elkhorn and Douglas along Jessamine and Hickman Creeks. Sixty-two surveys were completed here for about 113,000 acres. Remember now, they didn’t have the fancy tools that surveyors do today, these were men on foot carrying heavy chains, marking the lines of each survey by cutting slashes in trees to mark the boundaries or piling rocks up with a notation on it. Long, arduous work. An Indian attack on July 8th stopped any plans of the men reuniting at Harrodsburg and the men started for home by different routes. Two men were lost on the 27th when Indians attacked Taylor’s group and killed he and another man. To the remaining surveyors and their crew came to rescue the noted Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner, scouts sent out by Virginia for this very purpose. Floyd and his companions came back by following an Indian trail that led up the North Fork of the Kentucky River and through the Pound Gap. Douglas’ group paddled their way home in a small canoe down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and then catching a ride on a ship headed to Virginia. The weary men who had survived returned to Fincastle County and presented their surveys – likely water soaked, perhaps blood stained and ragged. The survey work did not stop with these four men however; surveyors continued to come into Kentucky during the years 1775 and 1776 until finally over 206,250 acres had been surveyed. These were primarily done on the old military warrants from the central part of the state. Further information can be found in an article entitled: “Fincastle Surveyors in the Bluegrass, 1774” by Neal Hammon, found in the Kentucky Historical Society Register 70, October 1972. What was involved in these Virginia surveys? Virginia had to do something – after the Revolutionary War, settlers began flooding into the Kentucky County area, primarily since Virginia had paid its soldiers by giving them land there. Many of the surveys were totally inaccurate and were known as “tomahawk surveys” or what Henry Clay called “fireside surveys.” It caused problems for Virginia and later Kentucky for many years. The original surveyors came out of William and Mary College which the guidelines for surveying had been designed. After Kentucky statehood, Kentucky set forth its own rules and regulations for “ascertaining internal land boundaries and property recording and determining the validity of warrants and deeds.” With the 2nd Kentucky Constitution, each county was to submit the names of two proper persons, who, with the consent of the Senate, one was appointed a county surveyor. If no one’s name was submitted from a county, the Governor submitted a name and was approved or disproved by the Senate. It was not until January 1814 that the Kentucky General Assembly finally specifically outlined the requirements for surveyors. (c) Copyright 15 May 2003, Sandra K Gorin, All Rights Reserved.

Miss Hines has been here for some time with her father and mother, and when she exhibited a preference for young Wright was kept under lock and key at the MOREHEAD Hotel. Last evening, a buggy, with two horses, driven by Wright, stopped on a side street facing the hotel. The young woman raised a second-story window, leaped upon an awning, and fell into the arms of Wright. They drove rapidly away. Mr. Hines was in pursuit in half an hour, but lost the trail.

We have a puzzle and I'm hoping someone on these two lists might be able to help. As most of you know, our Barren Co Cemetery Board received a $2,000 grant to clean out two cemeteries. We have started on the first cemetery - McDaniel and it is really progressing. But in this cemetery is a mystery. There are 3 crosses. They appear to have been possibly made of concrete in a form and while the cement was still wet, names were traced in with the finger. Two of the stones have the name Bunch traced in; the other Taylor. We have no idea of whose these are. The crosses were then painted white. A neighborhood young man said that at some time in the past, three older men and one younger man came to the cemetery with what appeared to be a map and they seemed to know exactly where to place these crosses. No names of these gentlemen are known. Do any of you know of any Bunches or a Taylor who were buried here? We have no obituaries or funeral home records to confirm them. Any help would be appreciated!!!

He pled guilty to 2nd degree murder in October 1913 and in that same month was sentenced to 30 years in the Maryland State Penitentiary, with the possibility of a pardon after serving half the sentence.

The Washington Post, 13 Aug 1911. "Jealous, Slays girl. W. H. SABENS Kills Woman Who Was To Marry Another." Shoots at Self, But Misses." "Ada HAYNES, 22 Years Old, Had Feared Former Sweetheart, Her Friends Say, Even Since She Decided to Wed New York Man - Murderer is Caught in Pennsylvania Avenue. "Ada HAYES, 22 years old, of 1322 D Street northwest, was shot and killed at her home yesterday afternoon by William H SABENS, 27 years old, a former sweetheart of Freedom, Barren county, Ky. The girl was to have married to a New York man in a few days. Jealousy is believed to have been the motive for the crime. The dead girl's former home was in Mount Airy, N. C. She came to the Capital from Alexandria, Va., about two years ago. "After the shooting Sabens fled from the house and ran up Thirteenth street to Pennsylvania avenue, where he was caught by Policeman Walsh, of the First precinct. He was locked up at the First precinct. "According to friends of the dead girl Sabens had been attentive to her several months. He enlisted in the army in time to accompany the troops from Fory Myer to the Mexican border. He bought his release from the army a few weeks ago, and returned to Washington. Since his discharge from the service he has played on the War Department baseball team, also with the bureau of engraving nine [sic]. "After his return to this city he quarreled with the Haynes girl. She received attention from another man, and was preparing to follow him to New York. There were to be married and live in New York. "Was Afraid of Sabens. Sabens went to the D street house several times in the last week to see the Haynes girl and was refused admission. She was afraid of Sabens, she told her friends. "The police say Sabens told several persons that he was going to kill the girl. "Sabens got into the house yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock. He is said to have slipped in behind two other men. Two maids ordered him from the house, but he strode back to the dining room. There Ada Hayes was exchibiting a picture of her fiance and herself to several girls seated around her. Sabens drew a revolver and began firing at the Haynes girl. The first ball entered her left breast. She fell forward to the floor. The other girls fled, screaming. "A man who was tuning the piano attempted to disarm Sabens. Sabens fired again, the bullet entering the girls right cheek and coming out at the back of her neck. Sabens then turned the weapon toward his head and fired once. The bullet missed the mark and imbedded itself in the ceiling. "Sabens then run [sic] upstairs, flourishing the pistol, and dared anybody to follow him. Nobody wanted to follow, so he turned and ran downstairs and out into the street. "The injured woman was hurried to the Emergency, where she died twenty minutes later. "Denies the Shooting. Sabens last night denied any knowledge of the shooting, and said he did not know the dead woman. He declared his mind to be a blank as to the happenings of the last 24 hours. He said both of his parents are dead. He said he has two half-sisters and one half-brother living in Somershade [sic] Ky., but refused to give their names. He left home about thirteen years ago, according to his statement, and has seen none of the relatives since. "Among the dead woman's effects was found a letter of recent day from her fiance, postmarked Brooklyn. It reads: "Dear Ada - A few lines to my dear to tell her I am well. I am writing this at my sister's. I told her I was going to marry youn. Although we are far between, I love you just the same, and always will, Ada. I will love none other, and you know I am not false, and I hope you will remain true. I will write more as soon as I hear from you. Your, always, George.

Christian Science Monitor, 1 Oct 1971 "Name that town - Glasgow, KY. By Cora Slaughter, Special to the Christian Science Monitor. "Gleschu - what does it mean? It's a Celtic word and means "dear green spot". This is the word from which the city of Glasgow, Scotland, derived its name. But this largest city in Scotland is not the Glasgow for which Glasgow, Ky., is named. It is named for Glasgow, Va. "And is Glasgow, Va., named for the home of the famed University of Glasgow founded in 1100? No, ideed. Glasgow, Va., was named for for the first family to settle in that area, promiminent members of the Glasgow boom development of the 1800's. "Glasgow, Ky., calls itself "the city of good living." It is in Barren County, formed in 1798, and took its name from barrens or prairies found in the region. Statistically speaking, Barren County has 20,500 adult dairy cows - largest number of cows in any county in Kentucky - which produce some 112 million pounds of whole milk a year! "Half of the Barren County farm families have one or two members working off the farm. They help to manufacture tapered roller bearings, cheese, brush handles, mens' work pants and shirts, and other items. "While Glasgow, Scotland, gets its water from the Loch Katrine mentioned in Sir Walter Scott's poem, "Lady of the Lake," the folks of Glasgow, Ky., take pride in their new $3.5 million water plant on the Barren river Reservoir which can furnish up to 6 million gallons a day. "The residents of Glasgow, Scotland, are known as Glaswegians. "What do folks call themselves who live in Glasgow, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Montana, Missouri and Illinois? We wonder." >From Sandi - The debate of the naming of Glasgow KY has raged for years. Our town is of strong Scottish descent; we host the Glasgow Scottish Highland Games annually, the high school teams and bands are called the 'Scotties'. Yet, the debate has gone on since the earliest times. Franklin Gorin was the first white child born in Barren Co in 1798, the year of our founding. He stated emphatically in his writings in the 1870's that Glasgow was named for Glasgow VA. Then some historians took the word of a later settler, a Matthews, and say that their ancestor named the town for Glasgow Scotland from whence his family came; his biography in Perrin's history states this I believe. But he came in after Glasgow had been founded from all indications. Later yet, a historian went to Glasgow, VA and said that our Glasgow could not have been named for Glasgow VA as our town preceded their VA city. Yes ... but, there was an earlier Glasgow, VA that predated the one checked. So the battle wages on - a friendly one - and we are proud of our Scottish heritage anyway! And to answer the reporter's questions, some of the purists say that if we are from Glasgow, we are known as Glaswegians. I just say I'm proud to be from Glasgow! Easier to spell that way! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas holiday as I back away from the keyboard until next Monday. We're trying to get the family together, somehow, if all the employers will cooperate. Christmas greetings from my house to yours, from Kris and her dear guy Bill; from Shelley and her husband Rich, and from my dear Mom who sends her best wishes and thanks again for all the cards you all sent during her recent hospitalization. And, two cats. Have a wonderful time; you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

New York Times, 22 Nov 1891. "A Real Live Man. He Gets Into Trouble For Pretending To Be A Woman. "Lexington, Ky., Nov. 21 - Robert Lee REYNOLDS was arrested here this morning by Marshal DANIELS on the charge of using the United States mails to perpetrate frauds. "Last Spring Reynolds answered T. B. J. WHEAT's advertisement asking for lady correspondents. After several letters had been passed, inw hich Reynolds signed himself as Mary Dewees, Wheat sent his photograph, and in the next letter Reynolds wrote he said: [sic] "I am not a woman as you think. I am a real live man, but not a real mean one. I am a newspaper correspondent, and if you do not send me $5 within two days after the receipt of this I will publish you in every paper in the country." "Wheat lives at Parsons, Kan., and he consulted the Postmaster there, who told him to send all the correspondence to J. R. Howard, Postmaster at this place. He did so and an investigation pointed to Reynolds, who was taken to Mount Sterling for trial before the United States Commissioner. Advices from Mount Sterling say the Commissioner acquitted Reynolds this afternoon because the intent was not proved. "Reynolds has been a teacher in the State College here for a year, coming from Glasgow, Ky. Recently he has been associate editor of a monthly journal printed here."
