LAUGHLIN A good portrait of Mr. W. J. Laughlin is presented. He is well-known over the county as the agent for W.A. Hill's Monumental Works and does a large business. His friends have confidence in his fairness and honesty, and consequently reserve their orders for him. Many of the grandest marble works in Battle Grove cemetery were placed through Mr. Laughlin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cynthiana Democrat, June 1896, Page 14 ------------------------------ From: Edie Suttle Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 18:01:07 -0700 Subject: KY-F: CD, Harrison Co: Page 14, Part 7 Belmont and Baltzelle Town lie across the new bridge, west of Cynthiana, running from the edge of the river to Hon. W.A. Webber's place on the top of the hill. The two suburbs contain serveral hundred inhabitants and enjoy all the privileges of city life. They too will be "taken in" at the proper time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The residence of the late T.J. Mcgibben, a magnificent place, crowns a hill in the south eastern part of the city and has for a background a splendid grove. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the Highlands, affording a glorious view of the South Licking valley in a cluster of new places, where J.W. Musslman and sons-in-law, Gano Ammerman and W.L. Northcut, Jr. reside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abdallah Park, once the pride of W. H. Wilson's heart and over whose mile track the fastest trotters of bygone years have ______ the hearts of thousands, is now owned by Benj. Hey, of Cincinnati. The beautiful ____ has been plowed up and cultivated. But the old grand stand is left, the residence is the same and numerous stables have been added. It is now used for training purposes only. In the decadence of Kentucky fairs it was one of the first to fall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ East Pleasant Street, form the railroad to Miller, contains a number of beautiful places. One the south side beginning with Mr. Land's residence which sits back in a large yard, the handsomest places are owned by: J.K. Northcutt, J.I. Blanton, R.V. Bishop, James T. Hedges, N.B. Wilson, John M. Cromwell, Mrs. K.W. Williams, Otweil Frazer and sisters. On the north, T.M. Magee, Paul Douglas, H.C. Eals, Mrs. Maude Throckmorton, Grundy Veach, H.F. Cromwell, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Mary Davis. The street is well shaded and paved and most of the residences have large yards. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cynthiana Democrat, June 1896, Page 14 ------------------------------ From: Edie Suttle Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 18:27:48 -0700 Subject: KY-F: CD, Harrison Co: Page 14, Part 8 THE CENTRAL KENTUCKY CO. Mr. R.V. Bishop is proprietor of The Central Kentucky Co., distillers and wholesale liquor dealers, with office at No. 111 South Main Street, Cynthiana, Ky. He is thirty-nine years of age. His birth place was Clemont county, O. His father died soon after his boy's birth, and the son was raised in the family of the late T.J. Megibben, one of Cynthiana's most distinguished citizens and one of the oldest and best known distillers in Kentucky. He served for a number of years as book-keeper for Mr. Megibben and afterwards became book-keeper manager for Wyatt & Hinkson, distillers and wholesale dealers. For many years he was secretary of the Harrison County Fair and Racing Association. He was mayor of Cynthiana in 1894 when the water works were contracted for.

It handles all the best brands of whiskey in central Kentucky and makes a specialty of such brands as; Vanhook, Edgewater, Sharpe, Excelsior, C.B.Cook Co., Redmon. It handles nothing in the whiskey line except straight Kentucky, and puts up a very fine article of bottled goods. It distributes about $100,000 worth of Kentucky whiskies each year to the trade, principally through Ohio, Indiana, West Virgina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. The salesmen on the road are Mr. E.B. Gross, who has Indiana and Illinois as his territory; Mr. J. Henry Hankla, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and a part of North Carolina; Mr. L.C.

SARAH JANE CASTLEMAN AFTER LONG YEARS OF USEFULNESS ON EARTH ANSWERS THE SUMMON'S OF THE ANGELS Mrs. Sarah Jane Castleman died at her home near Silva, Monday after- noon, February 22, 1904, at 5 o'clock, aged ninety-six. She was the oldest person in LaRue County, as well as one of the best-known and generally loved women in this section of the State. In her death is witnessed the closing scene of a beautiful and interesting drama, afid when the curtain dropped, audiences of friends from many sections saw the last act of a pretty life, a life which lef t a stream of sunshine from the little box cradle of ninety-six years ago to the open grave of yesterday. Certainly her crown will be full-jeweled. Mrs. Castleman was one of the most intelligent and interesting old ladies of our State. During her life of generous length events have compiled histories, and with her life are associated many historic occurrences that are intimately associated with out State and County. As she sat these many years and watched the shifting scenes of life's drama, the actors making their entrances and exits, playing the part of the hero or the villian, she fully realized the meaning of Shakes- pears assertion. She was thoroughly imbued with and controlled by the noblest of Christian virtues, for nearly a century her companionship blessed those with whom she associated. In the end. when death quietly drew the drapery of her couch about her, It can be said that so noble and so unselfish had been her blameless life that the world had profited by reason of her having been in it. Below is given a brief sketch of the life of Mrs. Castleman Few of the present generation realize what a period in the history of our Nation and Commonwealth is covered by the life of Mrs. Sarah Jane Castleman. She was born October 9, 1808, during the administration of Thomas Jefferson and about four years before our second war with England. She remembered the Battle of New Orleans and saw veterans of Jackson when they returned to their homes it the close of the War of 1812. Her husband, Lewis Castleman, was a contractor and was employed in the construction of the canal around the falls of the Ohio in 1826, nearly two years after her marriage to him. She was the daughter of Jacob LaRue, who was born in Virginia May 1, 1744, and was, therefore, only eight years younger than George Washington. Her father came to Ken- tucky about the time the State was admitted to the Union, following his younger brother, John LaRue, who came here about the year 1780. ------------------------------ From: "C.
