Barkley I concluded to tell something more about Kentucky people whom I met during my visit to Missouri last summer. these notes should have been give to the press while they were yet fresh in my memory. Illness, and consequent procrastination, is the only apology I have to offer for the delay in their publication. It is perhaps just as well , for I am told that newspapers have more space to spare after the holidays, when advertising runs low. THOMAS L. ROBERTSON It was a pleasure to meet Thomas Luther Robertson and wife at their country home six miles from Gallatin. He is the son of a greatly esteemed citizen of Fleming county, the late Thomas Robertson, and went West in 1866. They have six children living and two dead. Both the dead and the living are much dwelt on by those long separated. Many questions were asked about the numerous relatives and friends in Kentucky. Of course, his uncles, Fleming P. Robertson of Tilton, and Benjamin Robertson of Clover Hill, and his aunt, a Mrs. Rebecca of Carlisle, came in for a full share. Uncle Benjamin's love and attachment for Clover Hill and its people was represented as about the same as Dr. Scudder in his dreams, wherein he was represented as dying and going to Heaven. When asked by St. Peter if anything more could be done to make him happy, Dr Scudder so the story goes, replied that he wanted to go back to Elizaville. The late Sixteenth Kentucky Infantry, and particularly Company A, of which Luther was a member came in for its share. The living were inquired after by name, and both the dead and the living referred to in words of tenderest feeling. Language fails to express the deep and unceasing attachment of the true and tried soldier for his comrades. The late Captain Henry Dunlap Palmer, and man others like him, will live in love's memory to the last. Mr. Robertson was especially gratified that his friend James P. Harbeson had been called by his people to the honorable station he now fills as the Circuit Judge. Luther is a free silver Democrat and well read on current events. I presented him with an extra pouch and plug of "Kentucky Seal" tobacco, which advertises R.B. Kendall & Co. in Missouri. After an absence of 27 years he wishes to be remembered with kindest regards to all. A letter from any of his old friends will reach him if directed to Gallatin. It may be said with emphasis that few families of Fleming or any other county have left, or are leaving such lasting influences for good as this numerous Robertson family and all its branches. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 20:24:54, -0500 From: DBXP64A@prodigy.com ( C L CRAWFORD) Subject: KFY: Mt Vernon Signal Newspapers, Oct.19, 1900, Rockcastle Co. ROCKCASTLE COUNTY, KENTUCKY OCT 19, 1900 POSSUM HOLLER I have been a sojourner at Wildie for 6 weeks trying to teach some young ideas how to shoot, but my progress is to slow thos my fault I suppose. Wildie is a small town but it is brim full of enterprising men. Three stores of general merchandise are doing a flourishing business. One black smith shop near by Mr Baker where he does all kinds of making and repairing in his line. L.T. Stewart the lumber man, Prof Philips, james Parsons section foreman and various politicians live here while morals and religion are properly looked after by the good women of the town. Much lumber is yet shipped from this point staves being the principal kind. Much very valuable farming land is here farmed tho all owned by other men before I come, therefore I will remain in Possum Holler. Nat as many advocates for the pikes as I would love to see are found among the good men of Wildie, men who pay more tax in the advance of sugar coffe and coal oil without a grunt than they will have to pay as a pke t ax are perfectly borified at the idea of the pike tax. Now my friends if we can bear to be robbed so tamely why not pay this little pittance that will be such an enourmous benefit to ourselves and even down to the 3rd & rth generations? If we had good roads in Rockcastle you would not see our most wealthy citizens contnually seeking homes in other parts buth they would stay with us and with thier money help to delvelop our resources and build up our county but under exisiting circumstances when men accumulate a few thousand dollars they emigrate and bad roads is the pricipal cause. Capital will never seek investment in our county until this evil is removed; then immigaration will flow in and with it plenty of moeny and Rockcastle will soon be what it should have been long ago.. one of the wealthiest mountain counties in Kentucky. Now to confirm some of the facts set forth I'll call your attention to this little but true incidens. A few years since some home seekers came from Ohio, landed at Mt Vernon and started to explore the C.A. Redd farm but by the time they had gone one half mile from the dopot they became so disgusted with the road that they went no further but took the next train for home. As a matter of course thes men carried this fact back to Ohio, and where ever told the homseeker went elswhere. Give us good roads and all else will naturally follow. Fellow citizens both democrat and republican don't be afraid of the tax we will have to pay, it will make life easier and death less dreadful. Let no merceuary motives come between you and your duty. The law will pass in the near future if it does not now, and then those who oppose it now will regret it. Come out boldly for what all men will say we need and have not, good roads. What all agree that we cannot have under the present system. That you many know that I practice what I preach. I will suppliment my tax with $50 to be doubled if necessar and as you many not all know "Buck Varnon" I am VERY TRULY, J.N. Brown, Level Green, Ky YOUTSEY CASE The case of Youtsey was resumed Tuesday. At 2:27 o'clock Mr Arthur Goebel took the stand. At this juncture Col Nelson said he diesored to examine the witness as to the competency of his testimony and the jury was retired. After hearing the attorneys, Judge Cantrill ruled that Mr Goebel's testimony was competent and the attorneys for the defense took exceptions. The jury was returned and Mr Goebel was put back on the stand. Youtsey then began to groan and moan aloud. Mr Goebel said: " I went to the jail between 4 and 5 o'clock on the afternoon of his arrest. Youstey met me at the door and shook my hand. I told him to tell all he knew. He said that on Monday mornign Dick Combs told him he was ready to kill goebel. Continuing, Youtsey said, I went to Caleb Powers and asked him for the key to the Secretary of State's office. Calbe told me to get the key from John Powers and I did. I then went to Taylor and told that Combs would kill Goebel. Taylor said he did not know we were ready to do that. Taylor siad if it was necesssary to kill Goebel all right but said it was too important to be done by a negro. I went back to see Taylor on Tuesday morning and told him that Jim Howard was there. Well, go ashed then, said Taylor. At this juncture Youtsey sprang out of bed and became very violent. The deputy sheriffs ran to him and seized him by the arms and legs. They finally quieted him. "Said YOutsey; Taylor told me he would either send the man who did it to the mountains with a squad of soldiers or would pardon the men connected with it. I got the key from John Powers and admitted Berry and Jim Howard and Dick Combs to the Secretary of State's office. I gave the cartirdges to Jim Howard and told him they would fit either a Winchester or a Marlin rifel. At this point I asked Youtsey who fired the shot and he said "Mr Goebel, I don't know. I septted to the door and stood there, but I gave the cartridges to Jim Howard. Mr Yousey said; I went back to see Gov Taylor on Tuesday morning and I said to him; "The man to do the shooting is now here". I said; "What else did Taylor say? He said Gov Taylor wolked up and down the floor and said "Youtsey, what do you think? If Goebel is killed, do you think I could hold my office? and discussed that matter talking to me back and forth and I said to him I thought if Goebel was put out of the way that the contest would be settled and that he could hold his office Finally, I said to him as Governor Taylor hesitate still, "It is up to you to decide now finally wheter it is to be done or not" and after some more hesitation Youtsey said Taylor said finally, "Wll tell them to go ahead. If it is necessary I can send the man to the mountains with a squad of soldiers" I siad; "Did he say anything about pardoning him?" (Howard) and Youtsey said: 'yes, that is so. He siad, If it is necessary, I can pardon him and he will be safe enough. Col Nelson started to cross examine Mr Goebel, but broke off short say, "That'll do" Miss Emma Scott of Frankfort the daughter of Mr James Andrew Scott was the next witness. She said she knew Youtsey and remember the day he was arrested. He was at her father's home on the morning of his arrest. Miss Ann Crutcher, who was a guest at the Scott home was also there and Miss Crutcher asked Youtsey if he thougt Wharton Golden was telling the truth We object to all of this, interrupted Col. Crawford. The Commonwealth consented to excuse Miss Scott for the first time and the defense recalled Mr Goebel. he was asked by Col Nelson about a conference which he and Col Campbell had with Messrs Crawford and Nelson in Col Crawford's office in Newport. Mr Goebel narrated what was aid between him and the attorneys for the defense in such a straightforward manner that applause broke out in the courtroom, but the crowd was quickly quieted. "That'll do", said Col Nelson when Mr Goebel had finished Wharton Golden was next called, and told of having seen John L. Powers give Henry Youtsey the key to the Secretary of State's office on the day before the shooting The defense moved to exclude from the jury what Powers aid to Golden at the time and the court sustained the motion ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 23:35:18 -0400 From: "Elizabeth Smith" Subject: KFY: NEWS: Mt.
