You all know I think how much I love reading the old newspapers and delving into the history of Barren County. Since 1994, with a brief break, I have been contributing a weekly column to the Glasgow Daily Times here, entitled Traces of the Past. I cover from the beginning days of the county up until the 1940's and sometime a tad beyond. I have just completed volume 4 of this series with 61 columns from Sept 2012 through the end of 2013.
