RICHARDSON, on Market Street, to the Bardstown Cemetery, to- morrow (Sunday) morning at eleven o'clock. Funeral service at the house. A handwritten note at the bottom reads: "It was preached at the church. They thought it best." Oddly enough, while there is a record at the Bardstown Cemetery that Charles owned a plot there in the non-Catholic part of the cemetery, there is no record that anyone was ever buried there. My cousins and I speculate that Charles was not a Catholic, but Maggie was. We still don't know which church it was "preached" at, nor where she is actually buried. Also don't know Maggie's maiden name, but she appears at American Richardson in an old family Bible.

MILLER, farmer and stock-raiser of this township, was born February 1, 1846, in Morgan County, Ind., and is the fifth of the seven children born to Robert and Auka (Alderson) Miller, natives of West Virginia, and of Irish and English extraction respectively. John C. was reared upon a farm, and received a rudimentary ecucation. He remained at his parents' home until he was twenty-three years of age, but since his eighteenth year has been doing for himself. He takes great pride in raising fine horses. One, a fine animal, "Shaker Boy,"" paced a mile in two minutes and twenty seconds, and Mr. Miller sold this horse for $1,200. He has raised many other fine horses. Mr. Miller married on November 15, 1866, Delilah C. Whitaker, a native of Morgan County, Ind. Four children have crowned this union--Charles G., born January 2, 1868; James R., January 14, 1870; Margaret I., born December 27, 1875, and Homer A., September 19, 1879. His wife is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Miller received $1,700 from his wife, as a start in life. For several years he followed the business of buying and shipping stock. He is now farming on a place of 240 acres, pleasantly situated, and having the advantages of all the modern improvements. He is a Democrat. He gives liberally to all benevolent institutions, which tend to promote the welfare of the human family. Mrs. Miller is a daughter of Grafton and Margaret (Gregg) Whitaker, natives of Shelby County, Ky., and respectively of Welsh and Irish descent. They were early settlers in this county, and remained here until their death. Mr. Miller is giving his children the best of advantages for an education. His son, Charles G., is at present attending Asbury University, and is progressing rapidly in his studies. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 May 1998 08:18:29, -0500 From: DBXP64A@prodigy.com ( C L CRAWFORD) Subject: KFY: Mt.

Vernon Signal Newspapers, 1897, Rockcastle Co FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1897 TO THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY OF ROCKCASTLE >From reliable and trustworthy person I have learned that there was a neatly hatched scheme by the "ring" to launch a baseless charge against me a few days before the Nov election, therby giving me no time for explanation or defence. They, I am told, had arranged to spring the charge that I had been indicted, some years ago, in the Jackson Circuit court for some offense; what crime they meant to mention I cannot state as it is more than likely that since they have stooped so low they might have mentioned any and all the offenses mention in the statutes. However in their despiseable work they over reached themselves. It was such a good scheme they told it to too many of their supposed friends, one of them placed me on my guared and at once I requested certificates from the clerks of the county and circuit courts of Jackson county which are printed herwith. When politicians are obliged to stoop so low ad do such dirty work to defeat a man there is certainly "something rotten in Denm ark" and rockcastle also. I stand on my record and am not afraid for the world to investigat it. I am in this reace to win and win I will by fair means not by falsification and misrepresentation. Respectfully, J.W.
