MOREHEAD MAYOR DONALD GREENHILL DIES

   MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Morehead Mayor Donald Ira Greenhill died Saturday
at the Markey Cancer Center in Lexington after a five-month illness.
He was 64.

Greenhill, who had been mayor since January 1994, had leukemia,
said Charles Stansbury, city finance director.

   "It's going to be a great loss to the city of Morehead,"
Stansbury said.

During Greenhill's term, the council voted to make his job full
time.

Greenhill, a Democrat, was first elected to the City Council
in 1982 and served until 1991. During that time, he was an interim
mayor for seven months after the resignation of Mayor John Holbrook
in 1987.

Greenhill, the former owner and operator of Greenhill Transport
Co. and the Ashland Service Station on Flemingsburg Road, also was
chairman of the Rowan County Library and a commissioner of the
Morehead Housing Authority.

   He was member of First Freewill Baptist Church.

Stansbury said the council has 30 days to appoint a successor,
and, if the council doesn't do so, the governor will make the
appointment. That person will serve until the next general election
in November, Stansbury said, when someone will be elected to finish
Greenhill's term.

Greenhill is survived by his wife, Barbara Hall Jones
Greenhill; a son, Donald I. Greenhill; a stepson, Michael Jones; two
sisters, Phyllis Evans and Judy Roark, both of Olive Hill; and four
grandchildren.

The funeral will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Northcutt & Son Home
for Funerals, with burial in Brown Cemetery. Visitation will be
after 5 p.m. today and after 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Memorial gifts may go to the Rowan County Library Fund.
