Book Title: History Of Bell County, Kentucky By Henry H. Fuson

pg171


      The Howard-Asher families have played their part in the political life 
of the county. T. J. Asher was elected County Judge of Bell County and served 
from 1914 to 1918. He married a daughter of Robert Howard, of Pucketts Creek. 
At the time he was elected County Judge there was only one piece of hard-
surfaced road in the county and that was in Cumberland Gap. He built the road 
from the Bell-Knox county line to Cumberland Gap, and the one from Wasioto to 
Page up Cumberland River. 
      Tyrus Howard, a brother-in-law of T. J. Asher, was elected Sheriff of 
Bell County and served one term. He lives just above Wasioto on the Pineville-
Harlan highway. 
      Berry Howard, who lived at the mouth of Stony Fork, on the right Fork of 
Straight Creek, was elected Sheriff of Bell County and served one term of four 
years. 
      J. J. Howard, of Pineville, was elected County Court Clerk of Bell 
County in 1938, and is serving a term of four years beginning January 1, 1938. 
      Jakie Howard, at present Principal of the Bell County High School near 
Wasioto, Kentucky, served four years as County Superintendent of Schools of 
Bell County. He is a son of Elisha Howard, who is a grandson of Bill Howard, 
of Pucketts Creek. 
      James Howard, who lives on the right fork of Straight Creek, has served 
two terms as Assessor of the county.
