Hello; I'm Margaret Combs McConnell. With respect to Taulbee, KY, yes, it never was a town, just a P.O. and now there is a general store there. My grandmother was Mary Belle Taulbee Goff, d/o Elsberry & EMily McQuinn Taulbee, gd/Billy Ashford & Mary Ann Birchfield Taulbee. My branch of the family (Mary Belle & Buck Goff) still owns about 250 acres there on Frozen/Negro branch & I've been there to visit the graves of my ggp's. My uncle Vernon GOff & his daughter own most of the land (m siblings & I ahve only 20 acres) but we hope to buy him out (he's in his 90'2 & ready to sell) and build some cabins there. Theold homestead was torn down years ago & coal & oil were taken from the farm. It is a lovely place & 2 of my my children hope to retire there one day, though we are far away now, some in KY, some in GA, D.C. and my youngest & I near New Orleans. If anyone has taken photos of the Taulbee graves I'd love to see them as I forgot my camera. On another part of the land are the graves of Billy Ashford & Mary Ann (Polly) but I've not seen them. The regular cemetary is on the left of the road as you go, the creek on the right of the little road. The King family still lives thereabouts & are not too friendly. They use our cemetary as though it were their own, I understand and graze their goats on our land--no problem unless my brother takes them for wild goats & shoots one. There're wild turkey, deer, etc and a tobacco base and corn. I tell my family that if we ever have to worry about terrorism, we can go live on the farm as there is no way anyone would find us there! My gp's moved to Jackson after they married--they met on the farm--and my mom, Levisa Mae, grew up there. I always loved visiting the little town in the 40's. My uncles still live there.

When Drs.

Mr. Taulbee has had right >>along, >>since Sunday, relapses from which he has rallied only to relapse again into a >>weak and delirious state. >> The Star of this evening has the following: âEURoeA pleasantly >>situated room on the first floor of Providence Hospital is occupied by >>ex-Representative Taulbee, who is hovering between life and death, the dread >>flight from the >>effects of the wound inflicted by Charles Kincaid, the Washington >>correspondent of the Louisville Times. The interview with himself and brother, >>as >>published in yesterdayâEUR^(TM)s Star, occurred so late in the afternoon, that from >>necessity, only the main facts were given. Mr. TaulbeeâEUR^(TM)s room is No. 13 and >>when the >>Star reporter entered yesterday, it showed that every attention was being >>bestowed on the sick man. Several bunches of flowers threw a fragrance over the >>scene of pain and sorrow. Dr. Taulbee, the brother, and the son of the >>ex-Representative, are devoted in their attendance at the sick-bed, scarcely >>leaving for >>the necessary hasty meals. Mr. TaulbeeâEUR^(TM)s face is drawn and pinched rather than >>pale. A bandage covers his forehead and left eye. When the Star reporter saw >>him he was suffering only a small amount of pain, the most of which consisted >>in shooting darts of pain through the head. Mr. Taulbee speaks with difficulty >>and seems to have trouble collecting his thoughts. In fact it is a matter of >>considerable trouble for him to understand any one but his brother, or his son >>with whose voices he is familiar. The wounded manâEUR^(TM)s throat is sprayed, by >>means of an atomizer, almost constantly to overcome the dryness. When asked to >>say anything to the public Mr. Taulbee replied: >> âEURoeI do not know what statements have already been made, and >>besides it is almost impossible for me to concentrate my thoughts for any >>time.âEUR? >> Dr. Taulbee then told his brother that he was going to make a >>statement for the Star of the facts as he had gathered them from him, and to >>this >>Mr. Taulbee gave his assent. The full account of the affair, part of which >>appeared in yesterdayâEUR^(TM)s Star as gathered from Dr. Taulbee is as follows: >> âEURoeWhen Taulbee and Kincaid met shortly after noon on Friday and >>Taulbee asked him to go somewhere and have a consultation, Kincaid said he could >>not go, as he was expecting to meet a gentleman, emphasizing the word >>gentleman; that he had made up his mind to have nothing to do or say to Mr. >>Taulbee >>and that he then (Taulbee) must leave the place. Kincaid said also that he had >>no arms, but would procure them if necessary. Thereupon Taulbee said that he >>had no arms either and that KincaidâEUR^(TM)s conduct strongly indicated that he was a >>villain and a liar, and that he (Taulbee) should make no further efforts to >>compromise the unpleasant feeling between them. Mr. Taulbee then took Mr. >>Kincaid by the ear and beckoned him toward the door. After this encounter with >>Kincaid Taulbee re-entered the House upon some business with ex-Gov. McCleary >>and >>another Kentuckian, after which he had lunch in the House restaurant with Mr. >>Peel, of Arkansas, and another member from Indiana. After lunch he returned to >>the House and almost immediately started back toward the restaurant with >>ex-Doorkeeper Donaldson. >> âEURoeKincaid must have seen Taulbee going down the stairs. As he >>approached him from the read, Mr. Taulbee turned his face and Kincaid shot him. >>There was no meeting or conversation on the stairway. Mr. Taulbee did not know >>who it was shot him until told some time afterward. Taulbee had no pistol or >>other weapon about him at the time.âEUR? >> âEURoeMy lips are sealed by my attorney,âEUR? said Mr. Kincaid to a Star >>reporter about the shooting. âEURoeBut I canâEUR^(TM)t remain silent in the face of >>unjust >>and untruthful statements published in yesterdayâEUR^(TM)s Star and coming from Dr. >>Taulbee. If he had the authority of his brother for making them the latter must >>be dreaming. In the first place, I never asked Mr. Taulbee to give me a >>position. I had no need to ask for such favors outside of my own district, the >>Eighth, which was represented by my grandfather sixty years ago. I did receive a >>small position upon a letter from Gov. McCleary, which I subsequently >>voluntarily resigned. Taulbee had nothing to do with it. All this can be vouched >>for by >>Col. Perry Heath and C. A. Hamilton. >> âEURoeNow as to the attacks on his character. I never wrote anything >>reflecting upon him until after the Patent Office scandal and then after the >>whole affair had been ventilated at length in the Washington papers. In order to >>make no mistakes, even then, I based what I wrote on interviews with parties >>directly connected with the matter at the Department. Afterward I went three >>times to Mr. Taulbee and offered him any amount of space in the Times to >>explain, correct or deny what had been published, but he declined. I did not >>print >>the story to hurt Taulbee, but simply as a matter of news. I was attending >>strictly to business and no personal feeling entered into the matter. About our >>meeting I can not say anything, for as I told you, my lips are sealed.âEUR? >> Col. Wm. N. Staples, late of North Carolina, now of this city, a >>noted lawyer, to-day tendered his services free to Mr. Kincaid. He is an >>intimate friend of Judge Sterling B. Toney, of Louisville. Judge H.
