   Miss Lula Hess, 77 years old, a native of Bath county, passed away at 
her apartment here Saturday, January 28, after a brief illness of heart 
disease, from which she had been a long sufferer. 
   Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Barnes 
funeral home on East Main street, conducted by the Rev. George C. Frey and 
the Rev. R. L. Bailey.  Interment was in the Polksville cemetery, where 
members of her family are buried. 
   Born near Salt Lick, Miss Hess was a descendant of one of the early 
pioneers of this section of the state.  Her father, James Hess, was a 
native of Germany and her great-grandfather, Jacob Myers, was the 
contractor and builder of the old Bourbon furnace, which was begun in 
789 and put into blast in 1790 by the firm of Owings and Skidmore, composed 
of John Cockey Owings, Paul Skidmore, Willis Green and Christopher Greenup.  
He also held several large land grants in this part of the state. 
   She is survived by one sister, Mrs. J. M. Keene, of Florida, and 
one brother, Hogan Hess, of Cincinnati.  Another brother, the late J. 
Luther Hess, died here in March, 1936
