Fred-Grant Co. Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. FRED VALLANDINGHAM, deputy postmaster at Williamstown, is one of the youngest post-office officials in Kentucky. He is a son of C. Vallandingham and Mary Susan (Ratcliff) Vallandingham and was born in Grant County on the 14th day of January, 1877. He is a product of the Williamstown Graded Free School, having graduated at that institution a few years ago. He is a Republican in politics and a prominent member of the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias. When McKinley was elected president four years ago Fred was made deputy postmaster under J. A. McPherson. He has given great satisfaction in the position he occupies and will no doubt be reappointed with McPherson to serve an additional four years. Pleasant, agreeable and courteous, he is the ideal postmaster and has endeared himself to the patrons of the Williamstown post-office.

John W. Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Volume I and Volume II, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904, pp. 110-111. Christian Co. JOHN W. PRITCHETT John W. Pritchett, who is now living retired at Hopkinsville, is a native of Hopkins county, Kentucky, having been born here January 19, 1825. He is a member of one of the pioneer families of this locality. Benjamin Pritchett, his father, was a native of Virginia, and when a small boy came from the Old Dominion to Kentucky with his mother, her location being on a farm in Hopkins county, where he was reared. For years he was engaged in the hotel business in Caldwell and Hopkins counties. His first wife was Mahala Berry. She was born and lived and died in Kentucky. The children of this union were six in number, four sons and two daughters, viz.: James, Mary, John W., Colby, America and Thomas W., and of this number John W. is the only one living. His second wife, whose maiden name was Menerva Bradly, bore him seven children, and by a third marriage he had two children. John W. Pritchett at the age of nineteen left home and went to Christian county, where he served an apprenticeship at the tanner's trade with Harvey Harrison, his apprenticeship covering a period of three years and his only compensation being his board. Then for three years more he was in the employ of Mr. Harrison, and in 1850 he engaged in the tanner's business on his own account, which he continued for about twenty-six years, after which he retired and moved to Hopkinsville. His tannery was located about seven miles northeast of this city. On moving to Hopkinsville, Mr. Pritchett was engaged in the grocery business for some seven or eight years, and then for three years dealt in leaf tobacco, since when he has lived retired. Mr. Pritchett married, in Christian county, in 1850, Miss Cora Pennington, a native of this state and a daughter of Morton Pennington. Mrs. Pritchett died January 13, 1897, leaving no children. Fraternally Mr. Pritchett is identified with the Masonic order, and has had membership in good standing in the same for forty years. He is a Democrat in politics and a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. Pritchett Berry Bradly Harrison Pennington Hopkins-KY VA Caldwell-KY ------------------------------ From: "C.
