Death
Mr. J. Calvin Rouse, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Rouse of this place, died
at the home of his parents here last
Saturday morning of Bright’s
Disease after an illness which had
lasted for almost seven years. He
was born on Cox’s Creek, Bullitt
County, Kentucky, on the 22nd day
of July, 1892, and removed with his
parents to this place, where his
father was elected Sheriff of Bullitt
County and after finishing his
education, taught several schools in
various parts of the county and was
deputy sheriff under his father for
some time. After a touching and
impressive service at the Baptist
Church conducted by Rev. W. J.
Banks, and by Bullitt Lodge of
Masons, his remains were laid to
rent in Hebron Cemetery. Six
boyhood friends, Tot Carroll, Bud
Combs, Porter Bridwell, Leyton
Ashby, Woodford Troutman and
Waverly Bell were pall bearers.
Surviving him are his father, mother,
one brother, V. H. Rouse and many
other relatives. (Highlights only. A

was almost a surprise, but not quite
one. It has been expected for several
months. Miss Pope (now Mrs.
Maraman) is a pretty and talented
young lady who has a host of friends
and every one of those friends are
wishing her a long life of unalloyed
happiness. Mr. Maraman “Pep” as
he is familiarly known by his
hundreds of friends, is regarded as
one of the most scientific farmers in
Bullitt County and has been a social
favorite for years. Some time ago, he
bought the home place from his
father, and he and his bonnie bride
will make their home there.

The Rev. Lloyd preached two
powerful sermons at the Christian
Church last Sunday. His text for the
morning sermon was “The meanest
man in Shepherdsville.” Mr. Lloyd
did not point out the particular man
or woman, but mentioned many sins
as being committed by the meanest
persons and left his hearers to draw
their own conclusions as to the
identity of the persons. At the
morning service, the minister
mentioned swearing, dancing,
smoking cigarettes, drunkenness,
being covetous and failing to join
Page 227
some church as being some sins
committed by the meanest person.
He said that the person who stood
between the church and the world
hitting between to opinions, wanting
to become a member of the church
but never doing so, likewise the
dancer, swearer, drunkard and
greedy person. At the morning
service, Misses Erastes and Mattie
Balee and Mr. Rufus Balee delighted
the large congregation with their
splendid singing which has never
been excelled and rarely ever
equaled in our town.
In the evening, Mr. Lloyd as has
been stated, spoke upon the meanest
woman in our town and preached a
very strong sermon. He dwelt upon
the life of Queen Jezebel, the wicked
wife of King Ahab and drew many
apt parallels between the sins of the
present day and the sins of twenty
eight hundred years ago. Painting
and dancing are many other habits of
our time were known in the day of
Queen Jazebel. The minister was
greeted by a large congregation at
each service and his message was
well received. He is a deliberate
speaker who relies upon logic and
who preaches straight gospel all the
time.

G. S. Patterson
It will be many years before our

Patterson and his wonderful store

County have found someone to take
his place. There are Pattersons and
Pattersons, but there is just one G. S.
Patterson. Of the many good minds
which we have come in contact with
his the master one. In the mercantile
business, he was a revelation, albeit
a paradoxical one, for he sometimes
rooted things up and planted them
top downward and inside out, but he
got results all the same. He bought
everything from a farm to a mouse
hide or cambric needle, and he had
for sale almost everything known to
man.
establishing several in West Virginia
and Southwestern Virginia.
When “Pat” was here, there was a
market for everything, hides, furs,
pelts and skins of all kinds, sawed
lumber, cedar and locust posts, old
iron, old brass, all kinds of grain and
vegetables, anything and everything
could be sold to Pat and when you
wanted to buy, he had what you
wanted for sale and always just a
little lower than you could buy it
elsewhere. He is a good judge of
farm, timber, and all sorts of live
stock, and so good in judging
poultry that the Jews are afraid of
him. If you wanted a man on your
bond or note and Pat knew you to be
trying to do the right thing, he was
right there to sign it.
Howard Ross visited Jasper Foster
and family.
He was a friend to every man who
tried to do right. He was charitable
and enterprising and just the sort of
man that no town can afford to lose.
His loss to Shepherdsville is the
biggest the town has suffered in fifty
years, if not a hundred. Here’s good
luck to Pat, and we know if hustle
and good sense and knowledge of
human nature will push a man along,
then Pat will make good. He will
remove, with his family, to
Louisville after our High School
closes. He has a big store and

New Booze
Last week, Hunter Roby of Leaches,
while out walking in the woods on
the James farm, found a whole flock
of woodpeckers working on a large
sugar tree from which sap or sugar
water was running down into a deep
depression in a big stone at the roots
of the tree and a few days later he
went back and found those same
woodpeckers in a monstrous
jamboree. They were drinking the
sugar water from the depression in
the stone and carrying on like a lot
of intoxicated men. Mr. Roby tasted
the sugar water and found that
fermentation had given it quite
enough kick to make the birds cut
up. While he looked on, several
fights took place and no telling what
would have happened if the female
woodpeckers had not come and
forced their tipsy husbands to go
home. J. D. James, to whom Mr.
Roby told the story, says it must be
true as he saw the tree and rock and
heard some of the woodpeckers.

Death - Mrs. Mary C. Jones
Mrs. Mary Jones died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Lindsay
Ridgway, in this city last Thursday
morning of heart trouble, which had
afflicted her for some time. On
Saturday morning, funeral services
were held in the Baptist Church
conducted by Rev. W. J. Banks, the
interment taking place at Hebron
Cemetery.
Mrs. Jones is survived by three
brothers, P. K. Church of Oklahoma,
J. T. Church, of Mississippi and
Milton Church, of Louisville, and
three children, E. D. Jones, of
Cannellton, Indiana, Mrs. S. S.
Barger of Pleasant Hill, and Mrs.
Lindsay Ridgway, of Shepherdsville.
She is also survived by four
grandchildren.
In his sermon, which was very
tender and impressive, and told of
the useful life which Mrs. Jones had
lived and expressed the belief that
she had been called home to her
reward. There is no doubt of that as
she was not only deeply religious,
she was a model of self abnegation.
Her whole life was lived for others,
her consideration for others was a
matter comment wherever she was
known.
over, she spent a busy life. She
raised many children to manhood
and womanhood and helped in the
raising of many grandchildren. She
did much for her church and God
and very much for her neighbor and
friends. She was a good Samaritan in
the broadest sense of the term, and if
everyone for whom she performed
some service had brought a flower to
her grave, she would rest beneath a
mountain of fragrant blossoms. By
four years, she has exceeded the
allotted span of life, but in these
seventy four years, there has been
crowded service to her family,
service to her God and service to her
fellow man and so, measured by the
great service which she had
performed and measured by the
prayers and tears and troubles, she
had lived a long, long time and when
the sunset hour come and the day of
her life drew to its close, she did not
die as one who enters the valley of
shadows and gloom, but rather as
one who ascends the heights. To her
three children, we extend sincere
condolences. Their present loss is
their greatest, for there can be no
greater loss than that of a good
mother.

between $6,000 and $10,000 so far
which we will not get a cent back.
We believe that the automobile tax
should be kept in the county where
paid and put on the roads where they
destroy them. We notice that some
counties haven’t an automobile in
them.

Basketball
Last Saturday, the basketball girls
made a very pleasant trip to

defeated and we had played a very
hard game at Bardstown Friday
evening in which we were victors.
We received all possible courtesy
and entertainment from the team and
people of the town and if we had to

have lost to such a nice bunch of

News of a Bullitt County Boy
Edward M. Barrall, who is now
serving his fourth year in the U. S.
Navy, writes interesting letters of his
life in foreign countries. He is
stationed on board the USS
Pittsburgh, Flagship of the U. S.
Naval forces, operating in foreign
waters and since leaving the U.S.
more than a year ago, has visited
many of the foreign ports and only
recently left Chatha ??, England,
after a five months stay while the
ship was in dry dock there. Previous
to this, the Pittsburgh had a thrilling
experience when she ran aground in
the Baltic Sea and for six days, the
lives of crew were in jeopardy, until
the heroic efforts of several
destroyers who came to the rescue
and the unceasing labor of all on
board finally floated her and she was
turned to the nearest English port.
With a change of admirals, the plans
for the cruise of the Pittsburgh have
been somewhat changed, but they
expect to spend several months on
the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas.
“Ed” says he didn’t fall in love with
the English girls, nor their climate as
it rained most of the five months he
was there but regardless of the (can’t
read) weather, he visited many
places of interest in historic old
London and feels that his time was
well spent. Westminster Abbey is
mentioned as being one of the most
impressive places visited for those
whose interest lies in taking
advantage of each opportunity that is
presented for our higher education of
the countries across the water from
us. Ed recommends four years in the
U. S. navy and hopes many of his
friends will follow him.
He sends a personal greeting to all
and says in no place he has yet
visited has he found the attractions
that dear old Kentucky offers for a
real home.

S. G. Thornberry
Announcement of S. G. Thornberry
as a candidate for re-election as
Representative for the district
composed of Bullitt and Spencer
Counties.
He was a member of the Bullitt
County Board of Education for a
number of years and was a valuable
asset to the educational interests of
the county as he always stood for the
progress and betterment of the
school system.
In 1917, Mr. Thornberry was elected
to the Legislature where he took an
active interest in the various
measures that came before that body
for consideration.
He is a farmer in the real sense of
the term and is very jealous in his
opposition to any measure designed
to place an undue tax on the
agriculture interests of the state. He
believes that farm paying more than
its just share of taxation because it
happens to be tangible.

E. G. Quick
Announcement of E. G. Quick as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the office of jailer of
Bullitt County in the coming primary
election in August.
Mr. Quick is one of the best known
citizens of this part of the county,
having been born near Brooks
Station and has spent his entire life
in this county and in addition to
being a product of old time
Democratic stock, and is one of the
most genteel men to be found
anywhere and his friends believe he
should be nominated and elected this
fall that he would make a most
excellent and conscientious official.
The Quick family is well known and
well connected all over the county
and there is no doubt but what they
will rally readily to his support and
help him present his claim to the
good people of this county.
Several years ago, Mr. Quick was in
a big saw mill accident and had his
limbs broken in four places and for
several years, was an invalid and is
still a very delicate man, altho he
does not appeal for sympathy, but is
seeking his office because he
believes that he can and will make
one of the best jailers the county has
ever had.
For many years, Mr. Quick has acted
as a special police at the Bullitt
County Fair Ground and familiar to
extent with that branch of the jailer’s
office.
All and all, Eph Quick’s hat is in the
ring and in the ring to stay and his
friends say that he will be declared
the winner.

of the stomach. He had been a great
sufferer for several months, but with
patience he waited for God to call
him home. Several years ago, he
joined the Methodist Church and
remained true to his belief in his
Savior all through life. He lived a
conscientious Christian, loving and
serving his church and doing acts of
kindness in his community who
might need his help or sympathy. All
was done that could be done to
restore his health but to no avail.
Deceased leaves to mourn his loss,

and Chester Gentry, Mrs. Basil
Scott, Mrs. Dorsey Hall, and several
grandchildren and one brother,

Washington. Comforting words were
read from Ps 37:37.
The deceased was laid to rest in
Bethel Cemetery. We tender our
sympathy to his loved ones, but this
cannot heal the broken hearts, none
but God and He alone can heal a
broken heart. The large circle of
friends and many floral offerings
testified to the high esteem in which
he was held.

a sufferer for many months.

services were conducted by his

William A. and Chester, two
Page 243
daughters, Mrs. Dorsey Hall and
Mrs. Basil Scott, six grandchildren
and one brother, Charles Gentry of
Zoneton. Bro. Peak preached a very
true and touching sermon from the
text “Mark the perfect man and
behold the upright, for the end of
that man is peace”, and spoke of the
useful life he had lived and his
loyalty to his church and pastor.
He united with Bethel Church
August 17, 1899 and was a faithful
member, always in his place at
services ready and willing to do
what he could.
He was born December 31, 1859 in
this county, was married to Miss
Sallie Mothershead December 30,
1884.
After this marriage, they lived in
Louisville for a few years and the
rest of his life was lived this
community.
He was a good neighbor and has
spent many a night at the bed side of
sick friends, caring for them. He will
be missed in the church and as a
citizen. He was a kind husband,
loving father and a true friend.
The large crowd that attended his
funeral and the many beautiful floral
offerings spoke of the esteem in
which he was held.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to the
sorrowing ones.
Death - Charles C. Lee
Mr. Charles C. Lee, a well known
citizen of this county, died at his
home about two miles southeast of
this place Sunday night after an
illness of several years. He was
buried in Cave Hill Cemetery
Tuesday after funeral services in the
chapel. He was seventy-two years of
age. He is survived by one sister,
Mrs. M. L. Hamilton of this place
and one brother, John A. Lee, of
Texas; also two nephews, C. Lee
Hamilton, the well known attorney
of Louisville and Henry O. Hamilton
of this place.
There was no better known man in
Bullitt County than Charles Lee and
all who knew him liked him. He
came of one of the oldest and best
families of the entire South. His
ancestors came from Virginia and
belonged to the famous Lee family
of that state. Richard Henry Lee and
Light Horse Harry Lee and the
immortal Robert E. Lee were related
to Charles Lee. In his younger days,
Mr. Lee was a very handsome man,
standing about six feet in height,
well proportioned and very strong
and athletic.
He was well educated and a man of
splendid address. He was considered
one of the best farmers and best
judges of stock in our entire county.
He died in the old home in which he
first saw the light of day and in
which he had lived all his life with
the exception of a few years spent in
the Far West. It can be said of
Charles Lee and it is true, that in his
younger days, in looks, by nature
and otherwise, he was a Prince
among men.
We extend to the bereaved ones our
deepest, most sincere sympathy.

which the quintet from Kentucky
University won the championship.
Old Kentucky’s representatives
made a glorious record, winning
first from Mercer College; next from
the Mississippi Aggies and then
from Georgia, the cream of the Dixie
Basket Ball teams. The last game
was one of the best ever played in
t h e South, the vi ctori o us
Kentuckians emerging from the
battle victors by one point, the score
being 20 to 19. Samuel Ridgway,
one of the mainstays of the
Shepherdsville High Team two years
ago, was a member of the winning
team and played in every game. He
has become a finished player and is
highly prized by the faculty and boys
at K. C.
The Atlanta reporters in speaking of
the game between the Kentuckians
and the Georgians said it was the
closest, most gripping and most
thrilling game ever witnessed south
of the Mason & Dixon Line and it
was this sort of game which made
women faint and men tear their
shirts. From start to finish, the
Kentuckians were picked to win first
honors and they did not disappoint
anybody.

For County Judge
Robert H. Miller announces as a
candidate for County Judge of
Bullitt County.
Mr. Miller has served several terms
as Assessor and Deputy Assessor of
this County. He has also served one
term as Magistrate in this the
Shepherdsville district.
He is one of Bullitt County’s best
men and is very popular and if
nominated and elected will make a
good Judge.
Mr. Miller is a Democrat of the old
school always taking an active part
in his party when ever there was a
campaign.
New Bank Building
We understand that the Bullitt
County Bank will begin work on
their new building and when
finished, will be one of the best bank
building in the State.

Tinnell - Devers
Miss Beulah Devers and Mr. Corbit
Tinnell, both of this place, were
quietly married in the parlor of Rev.
C. C. Lutton Saturday evening.
The bride is the youngest day of G.
W. Devers, while the groom is a son
of Morgan Tinnell.
Both are well known and popular
young people of this place and their
Page 246
many friends wish them a long and
happy married life.
They will make their home near
here.
Wedding Bells
Birdie A. Ball and William P.
Howlett will be united in marriage at
eight o’clock the evening of march
16th at Little Flock Baptist Church.
There will not be any invitations as
all friends are welcome.
Bert Shepherd
Bert Shepherd announces for reelection as a candidate in the coming
primary for the office of County Tax
Commissioner of Bullitt County.
Mr. Shepherd is the present Tax
Commissioner of this county having
been in office at the time of the
office being changed from what was
formerly known as County Assessor
and has served thru the change made
by the new state tax law which law
has completely changed our taxing
system and which was made this a
very hard office to fill.
He has served in this capacity with
two of the County’s best men and if
nominated and elected will no doubt
again appoint the right men to help
in this work.
The announcement of Bert Shepherd
recalls the exciting race made four
years ago when he was nominated
over two tickets all composed of
good men, three on the side, while
Mr. Shepherd won out with only one
deputy, Ike Mudd, of Belmont in a
race that seemed hopeless for his
ticket all thru the fight.
Mr. Shepherd is a Democrat of the
old school and since he has served at
the most crucial time in the history
of Bullitt County and made good; his
friends believe that owing to his
physical condition and since it is
democratic to endorse any official
who does his full duty, that he
should be given an endorsement by
the good people of Bullitt County.
The writer is not familiar with the
present duties of a county tax
commissioner. We do know that the
state has changed the tax system and
any increase in the county’s
assessment has been no fault of his
and the present system, good or bad
as it may be, can not be altered or
changed.
Mr. Shepherd showed his pluck 4
years ago and his friends know that
he is in the fight and will be there to
stay and should he have an opponent
he will know that he is in a real race.
Resolution of Thanks
At the business meeting of the
Shepherdsville Baptist Church held
in February, which marked the close
of his second year with us, our
pastor, the Rev. Wm. J. Banks,
feeling that perhaps he had
accomplished “the work whereunto
he was sent” on this field, tendered
his resignation as pastor, which
however the church declined to
accept.
(A long article of praise for Rev.
Banks.)

Thru these last days of her sickness,

The last three days, she seemed to
never rally from the stupor she was

with no suffering from this world to
her eternal resting place.
Mrs. McFarland was 74 years of age

From her youth, she was considered
a lovely woman and in death, her

A large crowd from here attended
the wedding last week at Little Flock
Baptist Church near Zoneton of Miss
Birdie Ball to Mr. William Price
Howlett.
Miss Melton and Mr. Paul Holsclaw
were the attendants with Tom
Hackney and J. W. Brooks as ushers.
The bride and groom are well and

Pitts Point.
A petition has just been filed by a
number of the citizens of Mt.
Washington asking the court to call
an election there this spring to
determine whether a graded school
shall be established there.
There is probably no town in the
state having the wealth and
population that Mt. Washington has,
but what has its own graded school
system. The independent graded
school system seems to be gaining
favor in that community and those
who are leading the movement
believe that the vote will carry for a
graded school.
A plan is now in progress by former
students of The Kentucky University
to organize an Alumni Association
in every county of the State.

Priest - Zimmerman
Miss Mary Priest, a former trained
nurse, who is well-known here, was
married in Louisville last week to
Mr. John Zimmerman. Mr.
Zimmerman’s son was his father’s
best man. For several years, Miss
Priest was a frequent visitor to our
town, and was very popular in social
circles. At one time, it seemed as if
she would eventually become
interested in the banking business,
but the affair blew over and another
fellow won her hand. She is a
s p lendid young lady. Mr.
Zimmerman is employed, or was
employed, at the Jefferson County
Jail, and is a man of fine character.
In the front part of this article, we
stated that Mr. Zimmerman’s son as
his father’s best man, but we are not
positive about the correctness of that
statement for the son is said to be a
mere boy, and how could a boy be a
best man: He might be called, or
might have been called, his father’s
best boy. And that possibly could be
the correct way to state it. We are
indebted to Mr. H. H. Combs for our
information as the age of young
Zimmerman, and we know Mr.
Combs knows all about the wedding
and the parties to it, including the
age of the bride groom. We extend
to Mrs. Zimmerman our sincerest
congratulations and wishes for a
long, long life of unalloyed
happiness.

Sunday Night
Sunday night was one of those

lovingly postponed his departure
from our town and staid all night.

done.

started home but got no farther than
the stream north of Bell’s store when

J. T. Martin
Mr. J. T. Martin, a former well
known resident of this county, died
at the home of his brother-in-law, H.
H. Glass at Anchorage last Monday
and was buried in Cave Hill
Cemetery Tuesday after services in
the chapel conducted by Rev. Lloyd
of the Christian Church of this place.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Mary Lee Martin, one sister, Mrs. J.
A. Barrall, and many nieces and
nephews. He was born and lived
practically the whole of his life on
Martin Hill, some four or five miles
west of Shepherdsville. He was
n e a r i n g h i s 7 3 r d b irt h d ay
anniversary.
“Uncle Thomp” as he was known in
the Mt. Eden neighborhood, was a
splendid man. He had been a church
member for 54 years and was a high
toned, honest, charitable, neighborly
man. He lived up to the principles of
the Golden Rule. For several years,
he had suffered from kidney and
bladder troubles and a year or more
ago, he went to Louisville to live so
he could be near a specialist. Just a
few months ago, it became apparent
to him that he could not regain his
health, and he sold his fine fruit farm
and became a permanent resident of
Jefferson County. He was a
consistent member of the Masonic
Lodge of this place and was buried
by the Masons, Brother W. F. Joyce
officiating.
His death will be regretted by all
who deplore the passing of a good
man. Mr. Martin was a strong man
in his likes and dislikes, in his
religion and in his politics but above
all that, he was God’s noblest gift,
an honest man. In his long and busy
life, he was accounted sincere and
honest by all with whom he had
dealings. His life was as pure as the
atmosphere of his loved hills where
he was born and where his life was
lived. We tender our sympathy to the
heart-broken widow and sister, and
the many nieces and nephews who
loved him so tenderly, for too many
of them, he had been a father and a
friend indeed.

Quick Action
Just about the quickest thing in the
way of handling justice was put on
the board here this week. Sheriff J.
W. Croan went out in the rural
sections Monday night and found
Will Woods and his wife engaged in
transforming corn into moonshine.
They had several gallons of the “real
stuff” on hand and were in
possession of a fine still. Mr. Croan
destroyed the liquor and brought Mr.
and Mrs. Woods and the still into
town and landed the people in jail
and the still in his office. Tuesday
morning, Judge McCandless
empaneled a grand jury, indictments
were returned forthwith and the
prisoners were arraigned and entered
pleas of guilty and Mr. Woods was
fined $150.00 and one day in jail,
while Mrs. Woods was given a fine
of $50.00 and one day in jail. For
several days, Bullitt County has been
full of Revenue men who have been
hunting for evidence and we
understand that a big raid will be
pulled off soon.

Mrs. H. J. Appleby
Word has been received here of the
death of Mrs. H. J. Appleby, at her
home in Minneiska, Minn.
Mrs. Appleby will be remembered as
Miss Dulcie Dacon, the oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C.
Dacon. After her mother’s death,
Dulcie assumed the responsibility of
caring for her father’s household, a
duty which she perfo rmed
excellently until her marriage in
1913, when she left immediately for
her home in the north. A few years
after her marriage, her health began
to fail and for some time, she
realized she was fighting a losing
battle with the dread foe,
tuberculosis, but throughout the
struggle, while always praying that it
might be her Father’s will to ... her
husband and children, she was
willing and content to place herself
in His hands and say “Thy will be
done”. One child had gone before,
but two are left without a mother’s
care. She was a member of
Riverview Baptist Church and was
not a member in name only, but all
through her life, she lived up to a
high standard of Christianity.
Besides her husband and children,
she is survived by a sister, Mrs.
Chester Bennett, of Louisville, and a
brother W. E. Dacon, who lives on
the home place at Solitude.
Her many friends and relatives in
this, her home county, extend
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family.

occurred at his residence in this
place, May 3 rd , was born in Spencer
County, Ky in 1845, but the greater
part of his life was spent in Bullitt
County. In 1870, he was married to
Miss Permelia Bell, who died five
years later leaving besides her
husband, two infant daughters. Many
years later he married Maggie
McCurand (sic). To this union was
born two sons, Roscoe and Urey
Tucker, who together with his
widow and two daughters by his first
marriage, Mrs. Blanche Cook and
Georgia Pendleton, survive him. He
is also survived by two brothers,
Theadore Tucker of Morganfield,
Ky and James Tucker of
Middletown, Ky. Mr. Tucker was a
member of the Methodist Church,
the funeral was held there conducted
by Rev. D. R. Peak of Mt.
Washington. The burial took place at
the old Tucker burying ground on
the Hall farm on Floyd’s Fork,
where the Tucker family resided for
many years.
Mr. Tucker was a quiet, industrious
law abiding honest man. He a
modest, retiring type of man who did
not court publicity. He was a model
husband and affectionate, indulgent
father, a kind and accommodating
neighbor and splendid citizen. Has
been in ill health for two years.

Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ball.
Speaking of chickens, Emily Brooks
reports a chicken with four legs and
two heads. We always thought two
drumsticks were inadequate for a
fried chicken but one neck is plenty
to wring.
Mrs. Eva Brooks, of Lakeland,
Misses Ethel and Irene Brooks, were
week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.
J. Bell.
W. J. Bell has a new five passenger
Ford.
W. H. Bell and Mrs. Tom Melton
attended the funeral of Mr. Tucker
last Thursday. Mr. Tucker’s first
wife was Miss Amelia Bell, their
sister. Mr. Tucker lived in this
community with his wife and two
daughters until the death of his wife.
His two little girls were raised by
their grandmother, Mrs. Catherine

The writer had the pleasure of
attending the silver anniversary of
the WMS at Cooper Memorial
Church last Sunday. Rev. A. L.
Mell, now of Bardstown, preached.
He was pastor of this church when
the new building was erected in
1890 and organized the woman’s
Auxiliary at the old church,
Cooper’s Chapel. He preached a fine
sermon on woman’s place in the
Kingdom, and incidentally paid a
fine tribute to mothers. But few
remain of the faithful who labored
there 25 years ago and to the few
present who appreciated the
occasion, it was full of sadness. How
we missed the faces that filled those
front pews 25 years ago. They have
joined the “choir invisible” and we
believe were there Sunday, a great
cloud of witnesses. Miss Ida Hecker
is now president of the Missionary
Society and Miss Katie Shively the
treasurer, having served as such for
25 years.
J. R. Ball and a few other friends
surprised Dr. Henry Beeler on his

O’Brien Hotel Gone
The O’Brien Hotel, which has been
one of the leading hotels in our town
for forty years, has passed out of
existence. The last meal was served
to boarders Tuesday, May 10th, at
breakfast and since then, Miss Maud
O’Brien has been busy storing the
furniture which she desires to keep,
and winding up her affairs here. A
sale will be held next Saturday.
After that the Peoples Bank will
have the Hotel Building torn down
and the hostelry will be but a
memory. We have not been able to
gather a complete history of the old
building, but shall endeavor to do so,
and shall give our readers a benefit
of our labors in that direction. Mrs.
O’Brien moved to the building
October 18, 1900 and conducted the
hotel until her death November 9th,
1920 after which it was conducted
by Miss Maud O’Brien. The
property has been sold to the
Peoples Bank. In May 1920, or
about that date, and it was the
intention of Mrs. O’Brien to remove
to Louisville during the past winter,
but she died before making the
change. Years ago J. W. (Neighbor)
Thompson conducted a hotel there
and before that it was hotel. The
building must be over one hundred
years old. Judge Morrow, who is 79,
and whose memory is good as the
best, says the building was there
when he was a small boy. Like all
other old landmarks, it must give
way before the march of progress.
We trust that in the near, near future,
a handsome brick building will
adorn the lot where the time worn
hotel now stands. It has served it’s
purpose and must go, but we regret
it’s passing, for it has been our home
for twenty years and more, and a
good, good home, too.
Baseball
The Lebanon Junction base ball
team which was so successful last

splendid young players will no doubt
win a good majority of his games.
Has Collar Bone Broken
While coming along the pike Sunday
evening, Mr. John Lee was run over
by a horse which had broken loose
from a buggy and had his collar bone
broken and was considerably
bruised. The horse was driven by
young Mr. Tyler when the buggy
broke down and only left the shafts
to the horse when it ran away. At
last reports, Mr. Lee was getting
along nicely.

School News
Faculty and Senior Class of
Bethlehem Academy request your
presence at the Commencement
Exercises Tuesday morning June 7
at St. John, Ky.
The above class is composed of
three young ladies, one of them a
Bullitt County girl, Miss Mary
Lillian Howlett, daughter of Mr.
Leonard Howlett, a well known
farmer of this place.
Prof. Sanders, principal of the High
School here spoke to a fair sized
crowd of patrons Friday evening at
Mt. Washington on the subject of
education.
That district is to take a vote
Saturday on the proposition of
voting an independent graded
school, similar to that enjoyed by
other towns in this state and about
the same as was voted at
Shepherdsville and Lebanon
Junction over 20 years ago.
Landmark Gone
Troutman’s Furniture House, on the
northeast corner of Main and Second
Street, has been torn down and
another old landmark has been swept
away by the tides of progress. The
north half of the lower story, which
was built of brick, was at one time
the Circuit and County Court Clerk’s
offices and was erected about 1809,
or a few years later. The Bullitt
County Bank is about ready to begin
the erection of a splendid bank
building on the site of the old
building and thus it goes. The old is
ever giving away before the new.
Death of J. H. Jones
The community was shocked and
saddened when the news was
received that J. H. Jones had passed
from this life to a brighter and better
world beyond. Too much cannot be
said of John Jones. He was one of
the best men we have ever known, a
kind and affectionate husband and
father, one who was perfectly
Page 289
devoted to his wife and children. He
had been complaining for several
months and while his condition was
considered serious, the end was not
expected so soon. He grew suddenly
worse last Wednesday and passed
away Monday morning. He was in
his seventieth year, had been a
member of the Methodist Church for
many years. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Luton. His
remains were laid to rest in the
family burying ground near his
home. He leaves to mourn is loss a
wife, three children, Mrs. O. P.
Basham, Iley and Vernon Jones, two
sisters, Mrs. Sim Harris, Mrs. Alf
Deacon, and one brother, Mr. Will
Jones, besides a host of other near
relatives and friends.
Funeral Plans not Made
The body of Herman Hildebrant, 15
years old, who was accidently shot
and killed when another boy
removed a 22 caliber rifle from a car
and it was discharged, is being held
at Rirbe (looks like) Undertaking
Parlors pending completion of
funeral arrangements.
No define plans have been made, but
it is probable that he will be buried
some time tomorrow. Young
Hildebrant, who came here recently
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Hildebrant, who reside at
111 California Street, from
Louisville, was returning from
Sunday School and stopped a
moment at the care of his friend,
Wayne Lindsay, 238 San Pedro
Avenue, when the fatal accident
occurred.
Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrant are well
known here having lived at Chapeze
up to about six months ago when
they moved to Texas.

by a run away horse and was

For many years, he was among the
best and most prosperous farmers in
the county, but since the accident
has been in an invalid most of the
time and the management of his
Page 293
large farm has been done by his son,
E. F. Henderson. He was one of the
most industrious men in the county,
a splendid neighbor and an ideal
citizen. His home was always open
to his friends, and real, old fashioned
Kentucky hospitality prevailed there.
An affectionate husband, kind and
indulgent father and good neighbor,
he will be missed by his friends and
neighbors. His remains were laid to
rest in Hebron Cemetery in the
presence of a large concourse of
sorrowing relatives and friends and
the many beautiful floral designs
attested the high esteem in which he
was held. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Henry Deacon.

A Week of Accidents
Mr. John H. Lee, one of the best
known men of the Belmont section
was the victim of an accident last
Thursday a week, which resulted in
a broken leg. While returning to his
home, and when near the railroad
south of Clarence Dawson’s, he
heard a train approaching and
knowing his horse was afraid of
trains, he got out of his buggy and
held the horse until the train had
passed. While attempting to get back
into his buggy, the frightened horse
started to run and the buggy was
overturned and Mr. Lee’s left leg
was broken in the ankle at the joint.
He was taken to Judge Bradbury’s
where Dr. Kerr is rendering medical
assistance and where Judge and Mrs.
Bradbury are doing all in their
power to make him comfortable. Mr.
Lee is one of Bullitt’s best known
men and his many friends will be
grieved to learn of his misfortune.

Mrs. Sue Maraman
Mrs. Sue Maraman, widow of the
late C. M. Maraman, died at the
home of her son, James Maraman,
Wednesday morning after a brief
illness, aged sixty-six years. She is
survived by four daughters, Mrs.
Ewing Crenshaw, Mrs. Fred
Harshfield, Mrs. C. A. Masden and
Mrs. O. H. Masden, four sons,
Messrs Howard Maraman, Grover
Maraman, William Maraman and
James Maraman, three sisters,
Mesdames B. W. Masden, Ed
Carpenter and Elizabeth Crigler and
two brothers, Messrs P. H.
Henderson of this county and David
Henderson of Nashville, besides
numerous grandchildren and
colltaeral (sic) kindred. Her remains
were buried in the family burying lot
on Thursday afternoon beside her
husband who died about nine years
ago. Bullitt County has never
claimed nor lost a better woman than
Mrs. Maraman. In every relation of
life, wife, mother, neighbor, friend
and citizen, she measured up to the
most exacting standard. Her entire
married life was devoted absolutely
to caring for her home, her husband
and children. She helped rear a large
family to honorable womanhood and
manhood. She was a bright light to
her children. She was a noble
exemplar. Her life was a benedition.
(sic) Her splendid boys and girls
show the effects of good parental
teaching. Twenty-five years ago,
there was not a happier home in
Bullitt County than the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. M. Maraman. The
visitor found true hospitality there,
and husband and wife vied with each
other in taking care of their guests.
The devasting (sic) hand of time has
made sad changes there as
elsewhere. The mother and father
are sleeping on the hill, close to the
home where they spent the sunniest
happiest hours of their lives. The
children are married and have homes
of their own, and little is left to bring
back memories of the happy days
agone, but the home which still
survives the destructive touch of
time. In the death of Mrs. Maraman,
her children sustain the greatest loss
of their lives. Their mother is gone,
the best and truest friend they ever
possessed.

Mr. John H. Jones, one of our best
liked and known men of the county,
died at his home here last Monday.
Deceased had been in failing health
for several months but bore his
suffering so patiently that it was
least expected that the end of his life
was so near as he kept going about
his farm up until Saturday. He was
born in Bullitt County on Oct 24,
1851, departed this life, May 30,
1921, was married to Miss
Damascus Rouse and to this union
were born four children, three sons,
Iley, Cleve and Vernon and one
daughter, Mrs. Alma Basham. Cleve,
the second son, preceded him to the
grave twenty years ago, March 26th.
There is much to be said in praise of
Mr. Jones. He was one of Bullitt
County’s most generous men, a
public spirited and above all, a
home-loving man and at all times
solicitious (sic) for his friends and
ready to lend a helping hand under
all conditions and gave liberally of
his time and money to all worthy
causes. He joined the church early in
life and was an upright and
conscientious Christian with deep
interest in all church work and
always in attendance when in health.
After brief but touching service at
his home by Rev. Carter Luton,
pastor of Cedar Grove Methodist
Church of which Mr. Jones was a
devoted member, his remains were
placed beneath the sod the following
day in the family burying ground
near his home.
The large gathering of relatives and
friends and the many beautiful
flowers laid upon his grave attested
the high esteem in which he was
held. He will be greatly missed, but
especially in his home by his loving
wife and devoted children who were
constantly at his bedside during his
last hours of suffering with loving
hands to administer to his every
want and with anxious hearts
waiting for one hope of his recovery.
Surviving are his wife, three
children, three grandchildren, two
sisters, Mrs. Alf Deacon of near
Louisville, Mrs. Sim Harris of
Pleasant Grove and a wide circle of
other near relatives and friends.

O’Brien Hotel
The demolition of the O’Brien Hotel
has been completed, and the old
hostelry is no more. The north end of
the building was found be of logs. It
must have been at least one hundred
and twenty-five years old. It is safe
to say the log house was there before
the old Court House was begun. The
first orders in connection with the
building of the court house was in
1797. The last orders were made in
1809. We venture the statement that
long before the court house was
erected, the log part of the old hotel
was the home of some of
Shepherdsville’s first settlers. it was
built in the edge of the virgin forests
which once clothed these Salt River
flats. It was made of strong pine logs
and when torn down, the logs
seemed as sound as when they were
placed in position by the pioneer
builders who erected the house.
When that house was built, the
Revolutionary War had just been
fought. Since then, the most
important history of our country has
been made. It’s erection, no doubt,
antedated the Constitution of the
United States. Since it was placed
there, all the great inventions have
come, all the might steps of progress
have been taken and our country has
grown from three million (sic) of
hardy pioneers to one hundred and
five millions of wide-awake,
patriotic progressive people.

Are you Busy?
We seem to be on the verge of a
typhoid epidemic in this locality.
Lots of folks are sick and others are
dragging. Shepherdsville needs
cleaning up and must have it
promptly if we are to protect
ourselves from dreadful loss and
suffering.
Some people are taking the vaccine
and cutting their weeds and cleaning
up their premises, but others are
doing none of these things. We owe
it to our family and our neighbors to
make our surroundings as healthful
as possible.
Page 309
An Inspector for the State was here
a short while ago and reports to me
that no less than a dozen places in
Shepherdsville and Lebanon
Junction are dangerously unclean
and that matters must be remedied
immediately.
The Town Board of Shepherdsville
has passed ordinances in regard to
rubbish and weeds and unclean
alleys, etc and are willing to
cooperate in making the town clean,
but you will have to get busy around
your own premises and see that the
flies and vermin are put to sleep and
that filthy toilets are made to
conform to the law. Free use of lime
and antiseptic solution will do much
good and be the cheapest way out.
All the stores are well stocked with
fly killing dope and we had all better
use it. R. I. Kerr, County Health
Officer.

Death - Robards
Sunday, at 3:00 p.m. the funeral
services of Mrs. Bettie Williams
Robards, widow of the late W. B.
Robards, was held at Hebron
Church, with burial in the cemetery
there. Mrs. Robards died at the
Deaconess Hospital in Louisville
where she had been for several
weeks, having sustained a broken
hip in a fall at Bardstown. Her death
came as a shock to her friends, who
thought her recovering. Mrs.
Robards was aged 79 years, 7
months and 5 days and she was the
last of the charter members of
Hebron. She is survived by one
brother, S. B. Williams, and three
sisters, Mesdames Laura Bell, J. D.
Robards, W. S. Eskew of Bardstown
and many nephews and nieces. The
writer has known and loved Mrs.
Robards for many years, having
gone to school to her when quite
young and while we do not know
whether our progress was
satisfactory, we do know that the
true relationship which should
always exist between teacher and
pupil was firmly established and
sustained to the end. And more
words of respect and admiration for
Mrs. Robards. Signed, Mrs.
Holsclaw.
Death - Homer
Mr. John Homer, a well known

but removed to Ohio just before the
beginning of the War of 1861 - 1865
and enlisted in Ohio. After the war,
he came to Bullitt County and has
lived here for more than forty years.
He was a quiet, honest, peaceable
man with no enemies and many
warm friends. He was a member of
Miles Lodge of Masons of Cupio,
Page 311
was buried by that lodge, brother W.
F. Joyce, formerly of that lodge, but
now a member of Bullitt Lodge 155
of Shepherdsville officiating.
Death - Ina Fern Foster
Miss Ina Fern Foster, whose death
was announced in our paper last
week, was brought back to Bullitt
County last Saturday evening and on
Sunday afternoon, after very
touching and tender services at the
Baptist Church, conducted by her
former pastor, Rev. W. B. Gwynn,
was taken to Hebron and laid to rest
in beautiful Hebron Cemetery.
Owing to the fact that we have no
compositor in our office this week
and cannot publish an article which
would do justice to the memory of
Miss Foster, we shall later on pay
tribute to the memory of our
deceased friend whose brilliant
mind, courage and accomplishments
bound her friends to her with golden
cords of love, which naught but
death can sever. ( And more words
of praise)

School News
Miss Nadine Melton was recently
married in Cincinnati to Mr. Harry
Kulmer, a former Bullitt County boy
who has been in Ohio for several
years.
Miss Melton has been teaching here
for two years and has long been
regarded as one of the county’s most
popular teachers.
They will make their home in
Middletown, Ohio and like all loyal
Bullitt Countian’s will be here for
the Fair.
In the May teachers examination
held in the various counties of this
state, we notice that of those who
took it in Louisville and Jefferson
County, the highest grade was made
by a Bullitt County girl who teaches
in that county, Miss Gertrude
Thornsberry, of Zoneton.
Two Bullitt County girls received
honorable mention at the annual
commencement of the Nazareth
Academy held a few days ago.
Miss Helen Harris, daughter of J. T.
Harris of Smithville, who is just
beginning at this school, received a
medal for the greatest improvement
made by any pupil in all subjects for
the year, while the medal for
deportment, efficiency and general
scholarship for the past four years
was given to Miss Elizabeth
Chapeze, who has been there six
years and one of the sweetest
children that it has ever been our
privilege to know.
Miss Kathryn Melton, a well known
teacher for this county, has accepted
a position as bookkeeper with the
enterprising firm of Geo. W.
Maraman & Sons.

We have had a pretty hard time for

but hereafter, we will try to get out
on time.
I have not been able to attend all the
speakings on account of sickness,
but will attend all I can. Editor.

see them leave. We wish the firm
success.

Public Sale
It has been so hot that we have not
written much lately about base ball,
but for several weeks the local club
led by Hugo Rouse, Wax Simmons,
Dr. Ridgway, John Summers, Judge
Bradbury and several other
prominent men here, who in days
gone by were “stars”, have been

strong city team, then won from

allowing only one hit.

Masden, deceased, we will offer for
sale at his home place near
Shepherdsville on Thursday, August
4, the following: Stock, 5 shares of
Bullitt County Fair stock, corn,
buggy and harness, farming
implements, household and kitchen
furniture.
This young Mr. Jamerson pitched
last year for Lebanon Junction and
lost few games, and has just signed
up with our boys for the rest of the
season and if he is not a good
pitcher, we are badly mistaken.
At the same time, the well known J.
M. Masden farm and residence
located one half mile south of Salt
River Station, being one of the most
desirable farms in Bullitt County. A

Will also sell the lower farm owned
by J. M. Masden at the time of his
death known as the Congrove farm,
containing over 100 acres, 16 acres

The following young men have been

been playing great ball and will use
Coates as pitcher, while Jameson or

crowd will no doubt be on hand.

Card of Thanks
Through the columns of the Pioneer
News, we extend our sincere thanks
and appreciation to the many friends
and members of the family for the
many favors and deeds of kindness
and sympathy shown during the
years of affliction and at the bedside
during the last illness of our mother,
Mrs. Ellen Monroe, who died at the
home on Knob Creek near Sunny
Side on Friday night, July 8, 1921.
Further wish to thank for every
flower and every rose bud placed
upon her grave, especially the
beautiful floral design given by
Bullitt Lodge #155 F & A F as a
token of love and consolation to the
members of the immediate family in
the trying hours of sadness and
desolation and for the beautiful
bunch of flowers given as a token of
love and affection by the following
named officials of Bullitt County.:
Hon. C. P. Bradbury, T. C. Carroll,
Lindsay Ridgway, Charles G.
Bridwell, O. W. Pearl, Ora L. Roby
and Bert Shepherd. The Children.
Hot Weather
The long hot dry spell has about
burned up everything. Gardens are
all gone, and grass and pastures are
burned up. We have been informed
that the first crop of potatoes are
gone and a rain now would not save
the corn crop. It has been the hottest
summer in many years.

Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols
Judge H. H. Glenn was called to
Chicago July 3 rd .... of the death of
his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Glenn
Nichols. Mrs. Nichols ... education
at Pitts Point Academy ... and taught
in Bullitt County for several years.
At an early age, she was happily
married to Charles Nichols, a
splendid businessmen of Chicago,
who was an ideal .... and whose
loving kindness made life sweet and
pleasant for her. (This first
paragraph is very light, almost
impossible to read)
Mrs. Nichols was a lady of splendid
attainments and high ideals. She was
teacher of ability and taught by
example as well as precept and the
impression made upon her pupils by
her instructions has been an
inspiration to them. She was kind,
lovable and just, yet firm, strong and
true in her convictions of right
against wrong. As Miss Bettie
Glenn, she is remembered by scores
of friends who visited Glenn
Meadows, in the days when genuine
Kentucky hospitality was dispersed
unreservedly by the Glenn family
and the members of that family and
with each other in making the guest
happy. The world is indeed better
because Mrs. Nichols lived in it and
her many friends feel poorer because
of her untimely death.
She is survived by her husband,
Charles Nichols, one son, Charles Jr,
one brother, Judge H. H. Glenn and
Miss Mollie Glenn of New York.

Card of Thanks
I wish to thank my many Democratic
friends who came out Saturday and
cast their vote for me. They were
good loyal friends and were friends
who anyone should be proud of.
They were people which neither
money or whiskey could influence,
as I did not use either money or
whiskey nor have any ward healers
working for me. Very Resp, J. W.
Barrall.
How any man can go and make the
oath of office when he lays his hand
on a Bible and swears that he did not
use whiskey or money to influence a
voter, a man who will swear a lie is
worse than a thief and a thief is
worse than a murderer.
J. A. Shelton was nominated for
County Judge by 256 votes.
Lawrence Roby for sheriff by 19
votes.
E. G. Quick for jailer by 117 votes.
For Magistrate - John Chambers,
John Samuels, Ed Ash, C. H. Gentry.
Births
Reduced Rates for Fair
Born to the wife of Tid Strange,
Aug. 7, a fine boy.
Railroad rates will be given on the
railroad between Louisville,
Bowling Green, Springfield,
Lebanon and other points ..... for
benefit of the big Bullitt County
Fair.
The Primary
The great Primary election was
pulled off Saturday. We cannot say
it was a Democratic Primary, as
from all accounts, there were as
many Republicans voted as there
were Democrats.
We had hoped that we could say that
Bullitt had one good honest election
as the country had gone dry, but we
cannot say it. From all reports, it was
the worst in many years, whiskey
and money being plentiful and used
freely. What a shame that good
people will stand by and let such go
on. At many places it is reported that
many of the best people would not
go to the polls to vote.
At Brooks, many Democrats did not
vote, but still they only liked a few
of voting as many as Harding and
Cox received there last Nov. and
other places nearly as bad. It is said
at some places the votes didn’t close
until after five o’clock and still the
people will stand for such.
Also - No paper next week as is
custom during fair week.

August 5th, 1921 age 1 year, 4
months and 2 days. She had always
been a delicate baby and when
Diphtheria got hold upon her, she
could not stand this deadly disease
and death came out the victor. She
was a bright and lovable baby and
will be missed so much by the loved
ones in that home. But heaven is
made sweeter by her departure from
them. Father, mother, two brothers
and one sister are left to mourn for
her.
On Tuesday afternoon, funeral

parents.

Sunday School this summer where
his bright little face was always
attentive and showed his pleasure at
being there.
Father, mother, four sisters, and one
brother in that home will miss his
cherry smiles.
But weep not for him, we know that
where he is, there is no disease and
suffering. Burial was in the family
lot in the Peacock cemetery on
Tuesday afternoon.

Reminiscence
The Bullitt County Fair
Less than fifty years ago, Bullitt
County was referred to derisively by
non residents as the home of hoop
poles and pumpkins.
Pungent pennyrile grew prolific on
soil crying loudly for lime and
legumes, sassafras root was an
article of some prominence in
commerce and our dog ticks were
unsurpassed.
Seng digger hogs plowed up our hill
pastures in quest of mast and worms,
long horn cattle roamed listless oer
the lowlands, too weak to tackle the
cane brakes higher up, inbred cocks
of jumbled ancestry awoke the
downcast farmer early to take up his
daily grind behind the right handed
plow or the double shovel drawn by
the low bred yeller hoss or striped
leg mule and the tree fork lizard or
more dignified slide were most
p r o m i n e n t a s ve h i c l e s of
transportation.
Educational institutions were on like
low plane. About this time, Deacon
Jim Collings was climbing
barefooted over the iron clad hills
beyond Belmont to the little log
schoolhouse where sitting upon a
rough split log bench, he learned to
“figger” upon a hand planed clap
board with a piece of charcoal that
later in life he might become High
Sheriff of his county.
The finances of the county were
largely controlled by a few old
Shylocks who collected from ten to
twelve per cent on loans and kept
many of our farmers in practical
slavery.
Then came the great awakening. A
few of our public spirited citizens
conceived the idea that what Bullitt
County needed was a County Fair.
The late S. W. Bates, W. T. Lee,
Wm. Simmons, H. F. Troutman, A.
W. Merideth (sic)
and C. F.
Troutman with S. B. Williams,
Judge W. T. Morrow, J. E.
Magruder, B. F. Pope and J. F.
Combs were some of the original
stock holders. Twenty acres of level
land were purchased just north of
town, buildings were erected and a
small track graded up in front of a
corresponding small grand stand,
and so twenty seven years ago the
great Bullitt County Fair was
inaugurated.
Although a success from the start,
the initial display if reproduced
today on the screen would be the
greatest comic extant and make
Charlie Chaplin and Ben Turpin
look like ceiling plasters.
Arch Merideth, with “Old Joe” who
used to draw a meat wagon in Henry
County for Claude Merideth (now
chief collector of the fifth district)
pulled down all prizes for Model,
Draft, Speed, Saddle, Harness and
General Utility, amounting in all to
about thirty-five dollars.
John D. James scored heavily with
“Ajax” shows on halter and
continued to score with him as a six
year old up until about two years ago
when he was killed by white
lightning (Ajax, not John)
Burks Williams took some ribbons
on “Min” while Ben Bealmear was
“right there” with Old Grey in the
running walk class. J. B. Robards
showed Washington Irving, while
Will and Emmett did a lot of filling.
Doc Smith took the blue in the best
three year old mule class with Blair
Robards stavined (sic) jack shown in
a yaller homemade buckboard with
scarlet wheels against John Summers
with Mike in a Ora Lutes buggy.
Later on came the late Galion Hough
from Mt. Washington with his
racking blazed faced roan and the
Swearingen boys with the speedy
dapple grey and Osbourne with his
flax maned drafter and business
began to pick up.
The M. D. Foster’s Ethelbert and
Geo. Haefer’s Hipyy Hoy with
records around 25 and evenly
matched, began furnishing thrills
and drawing larger and larger
crowds. With the passing of these
came Will Combs with Gazette and
Walker Moore from Spencer County
Page 326
and Dravo with old Barney from
Fern Creek. Then came the burning
of the old grandstand and building of
the new and here we pause to drop a
tear in memory of Ben Bell who was
killed at the building by a falling
timber and who has shown many
horses before the stand which he lost
his life.
The track in the meantime was
enlarged and the rings thrown open
to the world, attracting many outside
horsemen, the first among who were
Al Barraugh and Al Miller of
Louisville, J. L. Simcoe of Beuchel,
Henry Bivins of Nelson and Jack
Thompson of Larue. And so the
fame of old Bullitt County Fair
spread abroad until today we find
parading before our judge the elite
of horsedom, not only of Kentucky
but of other states as well. No fair
Society Equestrienne is too proud,
nor equine too royal bred to display
their best before our grandstand and
still our own Hardy Cruise with
Bruno and Ernest Miller with his
pacing mare are holding all comers
level when it comes to speed, and
Hillery Dawson of Pitts Point is not
only upholding our honor at home
but going out after them on the big
circuit.
The offspring of old Min have
shown at the state fair with honor.
Ben Bealmear is not spared to see
the great-great-granddaughter of old
Grey to sell for $1250.00 and go east
to associate with millionaires. He,
with many more, who were
associated with and put life into this
enterprise in its early days, have
passed to the great beyond.
Soy beans and cow peas have
supplanted pennyrile, Durocs,
Berkshires and Poland Chinas now
fatten where the sang digger existed,
pure bred cattle now dot our green
pastures, the buzz of the tractor is
heard where the bray of the striped
leg mule used to be. In the place of
the little log school house, we have
graded and a class A high school and
who can say the Bullitt County Fair
is not responsible in a great measure
for it all.
To us who have passed life’s
meridian, the granduor and progress
of today is wonderful. We are proud
of our achievements and our
advancement, but as we annually
meet tegether, the thing most dear to
our hearts is the friends we meet, the
friends we miss the reminiscence of
the Bullitt County fair.

married in Louisville to Mr.
Clarence Armstrong.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Chambers and is a
quite modest young girl and is very
popular here, while young Mr.
Armstrong is a bright industrious
young farmer and comes from a well
known family of this county.
Both are very young for such a
solemn venture but the writer
extends to them congratulations and
a warm and hearty hand shake for a
long and happy life.
The directors of the fair elected the
following well known men as
officers for 1922. Frank Bell,
President; H. D. Shafer, V. Pres; H.
H. Combs, Treas; J. W. Barrall,
Sect.
Indiana and Illinois. Hilory Dawson,
of Highland Park, took his share of
the ribbons. Hardy Cruise, with
Bruno, also won many blue ribbons.
Judge Jas. S. Boyd, of Shelbyville,
who was a judge at the State Fair
and judge here, said he had never
seen finer stock at a County Fair.

Card of Thanks
From A. L. Roby and W. F. Monroe
for their nomination as Sheriff.
Since the closing of the three
distilleries and the taking over of a
part of our county by the
Government greatly reduced our
taxable property, we concluded that
the office of sheriff could not
support more than two men and this
is the sole and only reason that more
deputies were not put on.

T. J. Brooks is on the sick list.
Chas. Brooks and daughter, of
Freelandville, Indiana, attended the

Bullitt. How do we know? Why,
because he takes the home paper,
The Pioneer News, and comes back
to the fair to greet his boyhood
friends and always visits the place
where he was born. Come often,
Charley, we appreciate your loyalty.

children spent a day recently with
friends at Jeffersontown, Ky, a
pleasant day.
Mr. Miller, who made his home with
his son, Ed Miller at Okolona, had
just returned after several weeks
visit to several of his children. He
became ill in the store Thursday
afternoon and soon passed away. He
had suffered several similar attacks
in the late months but seemed
improved by his visit. Mr. Miller
engaged in the mercantile business
many years ago, coming here some
25 years ago. He was a very prince
of merchants, affable and
accommodating and all regretted his
retirement from active business.
Miss Mary Cynthia Holsclaw and
Ruth Thornsberry returned after a
pleasant visit to Mrs. W. T.

Diphtheria
Bullitt County is having sporadic
cases of diphtheria and as cold
weather with its attendant colds and
sore throats set in, we may find
ourselves in the midst of an
epidemic.
We advise all teachers and parents to
note carefully the children under
their care and see that sore throats
are not neglected. Diphtheria is
rather treacherous and very
dangerous, thereby, and if the
children become ill, stop them from
school and don’t wait too long to see
a doctor. The sooner, the better
always in diphtheria.
We shall perhaps tell you more
about his matter next week. - County
Heath Board.

Letter
Louisville, Ky. Feb. 22, 1893. To
whom it may concern: This is to
certify that Mr. O. A. Lutes, of
Shepherdsville, has been in the
employ of C. Aultman & Co. of
Canton, Ohio during the seasons of
1892 and 1893 under the direction of
the undersigned, who acts in the
capacity of General Agent for the
above named firm in the territory
south of the Ohio River and East of
the Mississippi. Mr. Lutes has been
engaged in the organized Territory
making contracts, collecting and
doing special work, all of which has
been done in a satisfactory manner.
In the matter of contracting, he
particularly excels and we regard
him as the best contractor we have
ever had on this territory, a man of
good judgment, good habits, a hard
worker and of the strictest integrity
and qualified to fill any position in a
business way. Mr. Lutes leaves our
employ of his own accord and can
return at any time we have a vacancy
should we so desire. We cheerfully
recommend him to anyone desiring
the services of a strictly first class all
round man. Respectfully, C.
Aultman Co., By W. R. Donaldson,
General Agent.
Nor shall their glory be forgot/While
Fame her record keeps/And Honor
points the hallowed spot/Where
Valor proudly sleeps/Nor wreck, or
change, nor winter’s blight/Nor
times remorseless doom/Shall dim
one ray of holy light/That gilds their
glorious tomb.
Card of Thanks
Since the tragic and heroic death of
Millard Troutman, his devoted and
patriotic father has died a broken
heart and followed his son into the
better land. The great cause for
which our boys fought and fell has
been won and peace reigns again
throughout our wonderful land.
Family ties have been broken and
sorrow has been spread abroad in
our land because of ruthless
destruction of our young manhood,
but a better day has dawned and
while move ahead in the sunny ways
of Peace, let us remember the brave
young men who gave their lives that
we might live in peace. To devoted
and grief stricken mother of the
fallen hero, we tender our deepest
sympathy. Her great grief can only
be assuaged by the soothing hand of
God and the consoling thought that
her son died a hero’s death in the
front ranks fighting for the sacred
rights and priceless liberties of all
mankind.
We wish to thank our many friends
for their kindness shown us during
our sadness on the return of the
remains of our son and brother who
was killed in France. Mrs. Lina
Miliam and family.
David Millard Troutman
The burial of David Millard
Troutman, son of Mrs. Ada B.
Troutman, took place at Cave Hill
last Sunday afternoon after
impressive services in Cralle’s
Chapel conducted by Rev. Phil Ryan
of the M. E. Church and former
pastor of the Methodist church of
this place. Mr. Ryan paid a beautiful
tribute to the fallen hero and brought
tears to the eyes of those present as
he pictured glorious ideals for which
the deceased laid down his young
life. After the services at the Chapel,
the remains were conveyed to Cave
Hill, where the soldiers took charge.
The burial was military and was very
i mp r e s s i v e a n d b e a u t i f u l .
Schoolmates and boyhood friends of
the deceased acted as pallbearers. A
large concourse of friends and
kinsmen were present to pay a last
tribute to one of our most popular
and best loved boys who made the
great sacrifice for humanity and
human freedom. In death, he won
immortal fame and in the glorious
history of our great country, his
name shall live as of heroes. Of him
and his compatriots, we can say with
O’Hara:

Charles Milam
The remains of Charles Milam, who
lost his life on the gory battlefields
of France, were laid to rest in
Hebron Cemetery last Saturday at
noon. He was almost thirty years of
age when killed.
He was killed in action October 22nd ,
1918 and three years from that date,
his remains were laid to rest in the
sacred soil of his beloved Kentucky.
Thus neath their parent turf they
rest/ far from the gory field/Borne to
Spartan Mother’s breast/On many a
bloody shield.
His remains were brought back from
France a short while ago, and in
Louisville about twenty-four hours
before burial. He was a son of Mrs.
Linnie Milan, and was widely
known and very popular. Of
splendid build and handsome of
face, large of heart and of a very
genial disposition, he was a favorite
wherever known. He counted his
friends by the number of his
acquaintances. He was inducted into
the service early in 1918, soon left
for foreign shores and in a few
months fell upon the field of battle.
He was a brave solder and did not
fear death. Along with the dauntless
youths of England, France and
America, he valued human liberty
more highly than his own life and
paid the supreme price while bravely
performing his duty.
The feeble words of the eulogist can
not add to the undying fame which
he won on the field of carnage while
laying down his young life for the
common cause of humanity. His
name is high upon the honor roll of
his county and there it shall remain
untarnished and undimmed as long
as time shall last. His name and fame
are secure here and we do not doubt
his safety and salvation is in the
better land. That God, who plants his
footsteps on the wave and rides upon
the storm, is not a coward’s God but
a God of Freedom and Love who
gave his only begotten son that men
might be free and we believe he has
taken care of the immortal soul of
every hero who lost his life fighting
for human liberty. Peace to the
ashes, peace to the souls and ashes
of all his brave comrades who died
on the gory field of battle. We tender
our sympathies to his mother,
brothers and sisters, and may the
God of the sorrowing comfort and
console them.

Or
Raiding Stills
Last week was raid week in Bullitt
and we understand the sport to be
continued for several weeks to come.
Sheriff J. W. Croan, assisted by
Preston Cash and Bedford
Crenshaw, brought in two, while
Frank Monroe and Henry Buckman
brought in one. In addition to this,
Lewis Hord was arrested and held
over to the December Grand Jury
under $400 bond, while his father,
W. W. Hord, was arrested under
three indictments returned last Aril
and was held under bond of $600.00
to answer at the next term of Bullitt
Circuit Court. Moonshining may be
lucrative but it is very costly and if
any person is unlucky enough to be
(can’t read one line) for having a
still in his possession, manufacturing
liquor without a license or having
liquor in his possession for the
purpose of sale, such persons must
serve a term of one year in the
penitentiary. In addition, heavy fines
may be imposed and the person’s
property sold. The law is very
drastic and make “Jordan” a mighty
hard road to travel.

To the Public
After having the misfortune to lose a
valuable man in my business as was
Mr. E. A. Cochrane, I have been
unable to get a reliable, dependable
man to fill the position that Mr.
Cochrane filled for me. Mr.
Cochrane was house salesman and
Bookkeeper. So taking all the
circumstances into consideration, I
have finally decided to fill the
position myself that Mr. Cochrane
filled and will have a nice Bullitt
County man to assist me with other
duties. You realize I am an
experienced businessman with a
good reputation. I am a very active
man and if you doubt me being
active, you run a foot race with me
and I will prove to you that I am
correct. Come to see me. Yours
Sincerely, Orion A. Lutes.

Last Monday, the more curious and
gossipy of our people were thrown
all agog by the report that Gussie
Swearingen, “our courting man”,
had gone to the court house to
procure a license. People of our little
town, who had seen Gussie thread
the streets in company with the fair
ones, had seen love written all over
his smiling face and flash from his
eyes, felt sure that he had gone to
procure a license to we his fair
inamorals, (sic) and live a happy
life, but alas! how quickly our
brightest rainbows dissolve into
cold, gray air. Instead of that kind of
license, which would have made him

has a double-decker, self-oiling, selfstarting, honey-coated, sun-kissed
laugh which just comes right up and
makes friends with you and then
proceeds to do the things. (sic) It is
guaranteed to kill the blues, stop
babies from crying, chase cats out of
the cellar and make every body look
happy. In the conjunction with the
laughs of Harry Formhals and Will
Page 371
Troll, it will cure every known
ailment and make a fellow wish that

operated on him said he would suffer
for some time and that the operation
would not benefit him unless he did
suffer and this encourages his
friends to hope that he will soon
improve. There are no better men
than N. B. Trunnell. His heart is as
warm and tender as a woman’s and
in his home, he is a veritable prince.
His hospitality is boundless and he is
never so happy as when making his
friends and guests happy.

Hebron
The afternoon service featured a

was home from Centre College for
the holiday. He told how the football

God’s blessing before going into
contest. No wonder they win so
often.
Hebron School has gotten swings
and sliding boards for the
playground. They need other
equipment also. A recent visit to the
school showed me what great vision
the principal has. She wants a large
athletic field, a gymnasium and a
basket ball outfit so we may have
two teams, male and female, and
other splendid things, and if we just
think so, why we’ll have them. Just
keep the present teachers and E. Z.
Wiggington as trustee and we’ll
have it all. Keep E. Z. W. trustee as
long as he’ll be eligible and them
make him trustee emeritus or
something.

called them all to her bedside and
told them she was ready to go and to
prepare to meet her.
We know tis hard to give up so
faithful wife and mother, but it was
God’s will as everything was done
with medical aid and loving hands so
let us rest assured that if her body
was numb and cold, her soul is at
rest in the beautiful vast beyond. On
the following day, she was
peacefully buried beneath sod at
Cedar Grove Cemetery with the
consoling words that fell from Bro.
Burns lips, may all prepare to meet
her to part no more.
