Gardens were never much better beans, peas, potatoes betts &c..ready for use. Many of our people took in the "big show", but think it a day and money lost. Strange, isn't it how we like to be bit. We'll be ready for the next even if this was no good. Now Webster in his immortal book say "Experience is a dear school but fools will learn in no other", but it does seem to me hat even the hard school of experience is worth but little to most of us. Well yes, contract day with trustees and teachers has come again, but this time I am not "in it", I taking a much needed rest, tho' as the time approaches I feel restless and somewhat inclined to wish I had a good paying school to begin when the time "fully comes", but I'll sty at home with Betsy and Betsy will say with me and let the children teach. I'll attend the institute tho' and pay my fee and have some fun, for that is about all there is in the institute for most of those who attend it. I wonder whom they will improt to run the machine. OUr common school is the foundation stone to an education and especially so in the mountains of Kentucky therefore much care should be taken in the laying of it. A skilled workman is escential and should be imployed if possible in all cases. Mr Editor; I can not see why we can not run an educational column in your paper. Now I'll ask the teachers to parse the word "parsing" in the following sentences; "parsing hard sentences is a difficult task", and "The parsing of hard sentences is a difficult task", It is easly done if you know how Herren and Wilson "took up lambs" here on Monday and bought a few old sheep at 3cts. In all they had 200. We have no one in the calf ore mule trade yet. Som good young mules ad quite a goodly number of calves. Now it runs this way in Possum Holler; If I can sell my calves &c I'll hire John Smith and Richard Jones to work for me and pay cas. Jones will pay some little debts he owes to dondry parties, this will enable them to pay Henry Catron, and Smith will buy a cow and the cow seller will distribute his $25 among his creditors enableing quite a number of persons to pay tax and buy coffe and tobacco, then otherws will do as I, Smith and Jones have done which will put many $'s in circulation and then my republican neighbors hollow for McKinlow and prosperity and I hollow too. I have as good nabors as anybody if they are republicans they can't help it, they are like I am by being a democrat for Solomon said train up a boy in the strate path and he,ll wak there in and if he is borught up in a crooked roads he,ll follow its wandering sich iz very tue, & especially so in pollytix. Blask will out run a dog with a tin can tied to his tail down bhere, and I am a little some what inclined to believe he,ll get then nomination & if he does we'll elect him in spite of all oppositions.

Menendez" Subject: KFY: BIO: Dudley, Dr. Benjamin - Fayette Co BIO: DR. BENJAMIN W. DUDLEY, FAYETTE COUNTY, KENTUCKY Transcribed from History of Lexington Kentucky Its Early Annals and Recent Progress By George W. Ranck Publ: Cincinnati, Robert Clarke & Co, 1872 Pg. 238-239 Dr. Benjamin W. Dudley, who afterward became so famous as a surgeon, commenced his public career in 1809, in which year he was appointed to the chair of anatomy and surgery in Transylvania University. Dr. Benjamin Winslow Dudley was born in Spottsylvania county, Virginia, on the 12th day of April, 1785; was brought by his parents to Kentucky county, where they landed six miles east of Lexington, on the 3d day of May, 1786. His earlier education was obtained at country schools, and finished in Transylvania University. He came to Lexington in 1797, and for a time worked in the store of Samuel and George Trotter. He studied medicine with the late Drs. Ridgely and Fishback, after which he attended medical lectures in the old school of Philadelphia, graduated in 1806, and returned to Lexington, where he continued the practice of medicine, and acted as professor in the medical college until 1810, when he visited Europe, and spent four years, profiting by the instructions of the most distinguished medical and scientific teachers. During his stay in London, he was made a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Returning to Lexington, he soon stood in the front rank of the profession. In 1818, on the reorganization of the medical college of Transylvania University, he was recalled to the chair of surgery and anatomy, and remained in that connection for forty years, during which time the college acknowledged no superior on this continent. Its great success was largely due to Dr. Dudley, whose professional fame spread throughout the civilized world. He attended a laborious practice for about fifty years, when he contracted poison in performing a surgical operation, from which he suffered greatly, and never recovered. He died suddenly, after about two hours of illness, at a quarter to one o'clock, on Thursday morning, January 20, 1870, of apoplexy. Dr. Dudley's achievements in the operation of lithotomy alone are so great as to be actually incredible to the most distinguished surgeons of Europe, and are sufficient of themselves to hand his name down to a distant posterity. He operated for stone in the bladder about two hundred and sixty times, losing only two or three patients. He operated upon the eye in numerous cases, and frequently perforated the cranium for the relief of epilepsy. In spite of the fact that he left no production of his pen behind, his scientific triumphs will long cause him to be remembered as the great surgeon of Kentucky. Dr. Dudley's office was on the corner of Mill and Church streets, and occupied the site of the present residence of E. Sayre.

The parade extended almost all the way from one end of Main street to the other in which most all the different institutions and business firms of the town were represented. The prize offered for the best turnout was given to the Joseph Price Infirmary and while lots of Praise is due Drs Brown and Carpenter for the great amount of taste which they displayed and the artistic way in which they fitted up their rig, ectill we think the credit is due the four beautiful young ladies who occupied it for had we been one of the judges we would have had to decide in their favor had they been riding in a dumy cart ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Feb 1999 23:38:32 -0800 From: "John K. Isaacs" Subject: KFY: OBIT: Isaacs, 1911 - Harlan Co THOUSANDSTICKS Vol. No. 10 MIDDLESBORO, KENTUCKY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1911 SUCCUMBS TO APPENDICITIS ___________________ Prominent Harlan County Lawyer Dead at Kings Daughters Hospital Was Wedded to Miss Minnie Sizemore Before Death ______________ G.G. Isaacs, a prominent lawyer of Harlan county and well-known in Middlesboro, died here at the Kings Daughters Hospital of appen- dicitis last Friday morning at one o'clock. Mr. Isaacs was brought from Harlan to Middlesboro on the Thursday evening train and an op- eration was performed some time that evening, but proved unsuccess- ful, he was too far gone to re- cover. Before the operation Mr. Isaacs was united in marriage with Miss Minnie Sizemore of Middlesboro, by Rev. J. V. Logan. Miss Size- more had been for some time his stenographer. The deceased was a native of Russell county, Virginia. The re- mains were taken to Castlewood, Va., for burial, accompanied by a number of friends. _______________________ _______________________ [George Grant Isaacs Died September 8, 1911 in Middlesboro, Kentucky. His body was immediately taken by train to Russell County Virginia, and from the train station to the old Isaacs home place on Grassy Creek which was then the home of Jasper and Mattie (Martha) Moore, George's baby sister and her husband. George Grant Isaacs was buried in the Isaacs Cemetery on a ridge overlooking the home in which he, his father, and his grandfather had been born. He was buried on September 9, 1911. Of supreme irony after the bitter divorce action between George and his ex-wife Minnie Lee Elam Isaacs, his burial took place on her thirty-ninth birthday. John Kermit Isaacs, grandson of G.G.
