W. Flora spent last Monday in Paris Mrs. Hendrix McCleary visited her sister-in-law, near Ewing last week. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Knowlton, of Chicago, are visiting her mother, Mrs. E. B. Fristoe. Mrs. T. J. Flora of Paris, attended the funeral of her sister-in-law, Mrs. E. G. Flora, last Thursday. H. C. Throckmorton Sr. is on the sick list. Our school house, which has been undergoing repairs, is completed, our school will open next Monday. Died---Mrs. E. G. Flora, nee Katherine Myers, daughter of the late H. B. Myers, on Tuesday last at her home in this place, of complication of diseases,. She had been a patient sufferer for many months and leaves a husband and three children, two sons and a daughter, also brothers, sisters and a mother to mourn her loss. The family have our deepest sympathy in this their sad bereavement. Our loss is heaven's gain. Weep not dear friends though she is gone, The voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in the home, Which never can be filled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While many ex-Confederates are somewhat disgruntled at the delay in payment of their pensions, the "Yanks" are suffering a like inconvenience in not receiving their checks this quarter. If the government------either state or nation----is going to pay its old soldiers that ought to do it promptly, as time is mighty short with the old boys. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got it in the Neck Word having been given out that Dr. H. C. Kehoe, of Flemingsburg, was slated for appointment as Superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane at Lexington, a bitter attack upon the Doctor has been begun by those opposing his selection. The Doctor has the baking of the strong political cabal and will doubtless win out. His brother, the ex-Congressman is championing his cause and he has joined the ruling powers in the state he will be of great assistance. LATER Dr. H. C. Kehoe was turned down in his aspirations fort he appointment as Superintendent for the Insane at Lexington. The Doctor depended on promises by the big political promisers and got it in the neck. It might not have been so bad had he not persuaded his ex-Congressman brother to transfer his allegiance to his enemies and desert his old time friends. There are a lot of other people who will get like treatment, and we cannot sympathize with them much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Message: #4 Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 23:21:02 -0500 From: "Glenda Hall" Subject: OBIT: Bell, Edwin, Russell Co From "The Times Journal," Russell Springs, Russell Co., KY, dated 13 Aug 1992 Name: Edwin Bell Residence: Russell Springs Age: 75 Died: Saturday, August 8, 1992 at the Taylor County Hospital Born: November 12, 1916, Russell Co., KY Services: Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. at Bernard Funeral Home, Russell Springs, KY; Rev.
