Breckinridge News, Cloverport, Ky., Wednesday, October 26, 1904 October 26, 1904
Page , Column 5
PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY
     The Reverend S. (Simeon) BRAMLETTE of Mineral, Kansas, is visiting his 
brother, Mr. J.K. BRAMLETTE at Irvington (Breckinridge County).
     Mr. BRAMLETTE is 75 years years old, but he don't look to be over 50.  He is 
hale and hearty, and as lively as a cricket.
     He moved away from here 25 years ago, and when a boy, he used to go to 
Hardin's Mill with his turn of corn, and to old man Phil LIGHTFOOT'S Tannery near 
Hardinsburg to get leather to make his shoes.  He says he went to school with 
Judge Milton BOARD.  He attributes his long years and good health to steady 
habits and hard work.  I have never been an idle man, and I am a hard worker when 
at home.

Additional Comments:
Information from my own ALLGOOD family research:
The Reverend Simeon BRAMLETTE was born in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, and he 
married Susan Melvina PRESTON, who went by Melvina.  She was born in Hardin 
County, Kentucky.  Simeon and Melvina had a daughter, Ollie BRAMLETTE, born about 
1879 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.  Ollie married on May 10, 1903 at the home 
of Euphrates BOARD in Breckinridge County to Oather Louis PHIPPS who was born 
February 21, 1882 and died March 21, 1970.  Oather Louis PHIPPS and his second 
wife, Blanche DOWELL are buried in Breckinridge County in Custer Cemetery.
     Ollie BRAMLETTE PHIPPS died in 1906, and her burial is unknown.  I presume 
around Custer, Ky.  Oather and Ollie had one child, James Edward PHIPPS born in 
Breckinridge County on March 8, 1904.
     I have a copy of Ollie Bramlettes' marriage record to Oather PHIPPS.  This 
is where I found the birth places for her parents, Simeon BRAMLETTE and Susan 
Melvina PRESTON.  Also, I was in contact with someone who is a descendant of the 
BRAMLETTE and PHIPPS line, and we shared family information.
