Endicott, Pike Co Subject: BIOS: J. T. Holeman, Henderson Co Subject: BIOS: Samuel Endicott, WV From William Cutler's History of the State of Kansas http://www.ukans.edu/carrie/kancoll/books/cutler/bourbon/bourbon-co-p20.html A. J. ENDICOTT, farmer, Section 21, is a native of Pike County, Ky., and was born November 22, 1836. Came to Kansas in 1859, locating on a claim now owned by William Ewing. In 1863, he enlisted in the Fourteenth Kansas Cavalry, and in a battle at Mons Mills, was taken prisoner and marched to Tyler, Texas, where for eight months he was exposed to untold suffering, having his clothes taken from him, and starved; he finally escaped in 1864, with a comrade named Kilbourn, but were so near exhausted that they were close to the bugle-call in the moving, but they succeeded, and in recruiting and getting clothes he was some time, not getting well until 1866, when he took a farm in Drywood, now owned by Dr. Hildreth, and in 1868 located on his present farm, buying 160 acres, which has since increased to 320. He is engaged in grain and stock-farming. In 1865, he married, and has one son alive and one deceased. J. T. HOLEMAN, M. D., is a native of Weston, Henderson Co., Ky., born in 1847. His early life was spent on the farm. In 1866 he commenced studying medicine with Dr. Whittledge, taking his first course of lectures in Missouri, Medical College of St. Louis in 1872. He in 1876 moved to Kansas and located at Memphis. In 1879-80, he graduated from the Eclectic School of Homeopathy in St. Louis, and in 1881, from School of Midwifery of American Medical College at St. Louis. He returned to his practice in Memphis, and is handling successfully a large practice; he was also interested in a mercantile venture here, but sold in October, 1882, to Mr. Huffine. He married Miss Phelps. The Doctor is also a member of the Masonic fraternity. (I included this one since Pike Co. is next to WV) SAMUEL ENDICOTT, farmer, Section 20, native of West Virginia, was born in 1824. His parents moved to Jasper County, Mo., in 1834; there he was raised. In 1854, his father came to Kansas and located in Drywood Township, but he did not come to the State until 1855, when he selected his claim, and in 1856 moved onto it; at this time it was nothing but a wilderness, and the Indians were numerous, Osages, Pottawatomies and Kickapoos, often stopping at his cabin; the border-ruffians also stopped there, but he was in the bushes concealed; they robbed him and afterward took him prisoner while visiting a sick neighbor, but released him, taking away his horse and saddle. In 1864, he was called out in the militia, and was stationed at Fort Scott, afterward following Price into Missouri. He also had a chance to make a raid with Jennison into Missouri, but the style of warfare carried on by him was not to Mr. Endicott's liking, so he returned home. He has been married three times, but has only two children living. His present wife is Miss McDonald, of Tennessee. He is a grain farmer, and owns 200 acres. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 09:34:47, -0500 From: DBXP64A@prodigy.com ( C L CRAWFORD) Subject: KFY: Mt Vernon Signal Newspaper, Nov. 2, 1900, Rockcastle Co.

Sterling Sentinel Democrat, 30 April 1880, pt 1, Montgomery Co SENTINEL DEMOCRAT Mt. Sterling, KY Friday, April 30, 1880, part 1 LOCAL PENCILINGS ================= Mrs. Lous Lane bought of Messrs, J. H. Baldwin & Co., last week, a fine piano. Mrs. Addie Chinn has commenced the erection of a dwelling house on Howard Avenue. Mr. M. Hurst has sold his mill property in this county, to W. S. Fant, of Flemingsburg. The Sentinel publishes an excellent letter from John Cronlin from Kansas. John writes well. Mrs. Ann Hainline, an old lady some 75 years old, fell one day last week, breaking her leg. Charley Glover has put in an elevator and a pair of immense scales in his house and is now ready for business in earnest. Geo. Cockrell is removing an old log barn 40 years old and erecting it for a tobacco barn. The logs are perfectly sound. The Odd Fellows' entertainment drew better than the Cantata. You see it was a free show, and hence the house was crowded. The many friends of Miss Addie Stockwell will be pained to hear of the sudden death of her mother in Flemingsburg last Friday. Last Saturday evening a hailstorm showered us with stones measuring from ¾ to 1 ¼ inches. Being very little wind but slight damage was done. Mr. Abraham Phillips, aged 82 eyars, took to himself one of Wolfe's fair daughters on the 4th. May their life be a long and prosperous one. Encourage home enterprise. Last week two parties came here from Paris to purchase buggies. Such is the reputation of our home manufactories. Mr. Ben Botts' house, near Sharpsburg, was unroofed by the heavy storm Sunday afternoon, also the fencing and a great many trees were blown down. Work is rapidly progressing on the railroad on the cemetry [sic] hill. Two more weeks and the grade will be completed. They have a force of 35 hands on the work. Misses Thompson and Voris were each presented with a handsome basket of fruit, gaily decked with flowers by the Odd Fellows Monday night. It was a graceful complimetn. The storm Sunday afternoon played havoc with trees and fencing in this county. At Mr. Burwell Tipton's a gate was taken off its hinges and carried some thirty feet; also a great many forest trees were blown down, and fencing was scattered in every direction. Squire Treadway, who [lost in crease] seriously ill for some time, is again able to go about-thanks to the good nursing of his faithful wife. The 'Squire has been at some pains to examine the fruit prospects, and says we will have the best crop of cherries, peaches and apples that we have had for years. One noticeable feature of the DEMOCRAT is the absense of Winchester and Lexington advertisements. Not that we would decline them if offered, but we don't go and make personal solicitation for them. We are publishing a home paper, and prefer to puff our home tailor and merchants. We would draw trade to Mt. Sterling from other places, and not drive it away. A. Hoffman, agent for the Scottish Commercial Insurance Company, of Glasgow, desires to announce that Company has reinsured all its business in the United States and Canada, and retired from the field. Persons holding policies in its company, insured by A. Hoffman, can exchange them for policies in the Lancashire of England, or any company he represents that they may desire of information on the subject can be had of Mr. H. at his office ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 23:44:27 -0400 From: "Elizabeth Smith" Subject: KFY:NEWS: Mt. Sterling Sentinel Democrat, 30 April 1880, pt 2, Montgomery Co SENTINEL DEMOCRAT Mt. Sterling, KY Friday, April 30, 1880, part 2 Tax Supervisors Messss. H. G. Hurt, R. F. A. Grigsby, J. J. Kelly, J. A. Thompson and J. A. Orear have been appointed to supervise the tax books for 1880. - -------------------- Monumental. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. John Kearns in this issue. Mr. Kearn's work speaks for itself; and aside from this we may say that he is a perfect gentleman, fully understands his business in all its branches, and is prepared to compete in style, price and workmanship with any one. If you really want to build up the town patronize home industries, of which Mr. Kearns' is not the least. - -------------------- A Legislative Knockdown. A disgraceful scene was witnessed in the House of Representatives on the 26th inst. Jno. D. White, the irrepressible, made some reckless charges on Speaker Bigger, to which he made reply that White had willfully lied. After adjournment White asked Bigger in front of the Capitol if he was still of that opinion, and receiving an affirmative answer, he assaulted Bigger, several blows passing before they were parted. The House is justly indignant over the affair. No bloodshed however. - -------------------- Complimentary. Quite a number of our young people attended the Cantata at Mt. Sterling last Thursday, and Monday nights and are loud in their praises of it, saying it was the best rendition they had ever witnessed. -Reporter Mr. R. A. Mitchell is having an artesian well in his lot on Maysville street. The interested are invited to call and examine the work. I. O. O. F. Celebration. - -------------------- The entertainment given Monday night at Bristow Hall, like all of our home entertainments, was a success, save in one respect-length. The introductory remarks by L. T. Chiles were strikingly original, and put the house in a good humor at once. He was followed by Mrs. Cornelison and Miss Thompson, pianists and Geo. Howard violinist, with a beautiful piece well rendered. Mr. W. H. Holt, followed with an address on the "Growth of the Order" which was filled with facts and fancies, and forcible illustrations, and was listened to with rapt attention throughout. Mr. R. Reid read an essay on "woman" truly a prolific subject, but aside from its length, handled with Mr. Reid's matchless skill, sparkling with wit, it provoked much merriment, as well graver consideration. Miss Emma Thompson, sang the "Savoyards Farewell" with a sweetness that was fairly captivating, and received a loud encore. Mr. H. Campbell recited the Coat of Grey, and dit full justice to it, as well as himself. Mr. J. H. Moore read Sut Lovengood in a most admirable manner and fairly convulsed the audience. D. B. Garrison sang the Irish Schol-master. Mr. A. T. Wood delivered a forcible address on the principles of Odd Fellowship, and was listened to with great attention and frequent applause. Miss Carrie Voris sang "The Three Fishers" adding to her already well earned laurels. She was very vociferously encored. Dr. C. W. Harris read "the Bridge of Sighs." The Dr. is one of the best elocutionists in the city, and rendered this beautiful poem with telling effect. Mrs. Cornelison, and Misses Cornie Oldham Miss Emma Thompson, assisted by Mr. Geo. Howard, filled up the interludes with choice musical selections, adding much to the interest of the evening. The entertainment concluded with a burlesque initiation devised by Max Bendel, and executed by him, Wm. Dailey, Fred Bassett, Ed Orear, Walker Peters, Frank Fitch, and Tom Jones. This was a rip-roaring farce, and fairly brought down the house. The speech of Billy Dailey was the best take-off of the evening; while the goat riding and pole climbing of Fred Bassett, were tip-top. The whole concluded with a walk-around in which Max Bendel as well as the whole company made an admirable display of their heels. The boys beat the Troubadours, all hollow. On the whole, the celebration was a success. - -------------------- Coal Road Burners. Buck Hudson, white, and Riley Wills, colored, who were arrested banding together to damage the property of the Mt. Sterling Coal Road were tried in Frenchburg last Wednesday. Judge Vanarsdell being sworn off the bench, they had their examining trial before Police Judge Frisbie and Esquire Groeb. There were but two witnesses examined for the State, but their evidence was convicting. There were several witnesses for the defense. Court placed the bonds at $500 each to appear at the next term of the Menifee Circuit Court. There are others suspected in connection with this crime, and it is thought they will soon be brought to trial. - -------------------- Winchester Court.-Col. R. Edmunson reports a good crowd in attendance, and about 600 cattle on the market, a few of which might be called first-class Kentucky steers. The best brought about 4 ½c., which a fair demand; inferior grades weighing 600 to 800 pounds, were a dull sale at 3@ 3 ½c.; calves brought $15@22 a head; yearlings, $25@33. No mules on the market. A few plug horses were offered and sold from $40 to $65 each.-Sun. - -------------------- The Sale of Lulbegrud Church Property. Mrs. Elizabeth Donahue bought the ground for $100. Mr. Charlie Donahue bought the building for $220, and the fixtures for $26.80, the entire sale amounting to $346.80. The seats and pulpit will be donated to Jefferson Baptist church. Mrs. D. B. Garrison has a severe attack of pneumonia, and is suffering greatly. - -------------------- Read A. J. Wyatt's new ad this week. Mr. Wyatt keeps the best liquors in this section. Don't forget Mr. Benton's sale. See particulars in his advertisement. Judge Cassidy was called to Lexington Wednesday by the serious illness of his brother, Wm. Cassidy, who by some mishap cut his hand upon a rusty plow. His system seemed immediately as if poisoned, and in a little while his life was despaired of, and his kinsmen summoned by telegraph. We call attention to the new advertisements of A. Hoffman, agricultural implements; M. C. Bailey, keeper of Cemetery; Messrs. Neal & Allen, successors to Doan & Co., livery and sale stables; and Tabler & Warner, grocery, and then give them a call. We will notice these establishments more fully next week. - -------------------- New Millinery Store. Mrs. A. J. Wyatt announces to the good people her new stock of millinery. Mrs. Wyatt is a lady of rare taste and large experience, and can undoubtedly give the ladies great bargains. We take pleasure in recommending her to the dear people. - -------------------- The Bible Society. The regular annual meeting of the Montgomery County Bible Society will be held at the M. E. Church, next Sabbath night at the usual hour for services.
