This book gives abstracts of various articles taken from 8 Hardin Co., Kentucky newspapers covering various years from 1829-1893. Those 8 newspapers are as follows: Kentucky Statesman * Western Sentinel * Kentucky Register * Hardin Co. Messenger * The Elizabethtown News * Hardin Co. Independent * Welcome Tidings * Elizabethtown Banner. The stories and history about your family that did not get passed down by word of mouth are in the local newspapers. These newspapers covered births, deaths, marriages, who appeared in court, who got bit by a snake, got kicked by a mule, and other news worthy events of the period. If someone went to town or sold a couple of horses, it made the local newspaper. The famous, not so famous, infamous and notorious, or the just plain common folk--they all appeared in the local newspapers of the day. These newspaper articles give events of the period with detail such as you will never find in public records. There are about 50 pages of index of names and each page has 3 columns. Names that appear in the index are: Able * Akers * Allen (lots & lots) * Alvey * Anderson * Armstrong * Ashlock * Aud * Barnes * Beeler * Bell * Bennett * Berry (lots & lots) * Bowles * Branham * Brashear * Brown (lots & lots) * Burch * Bush (lots & lots) * Carlisle * Carter * Chenault * Clark * Cofer * Coleman * Combs * Crawford * Cresap * Crutcher * Daughtery * Dewitt * Duncan * Farmer * French * Gardner * Geoghegan * Goodman * Gray * Harris * Hays * Hicks * Hodges * Howard * Irwin * Johnson * Jones * Kirkpatrick * Klingesmith * Lee * Lewis * Mathis * Miller * Moorman * Morrison * McCoy * McMillen * Nichols * Pearce * Phillips * Quiggins * Raine * Reid * Richardson * Robertson * Rogers * Sanders * Scott * Showers * Smith * Stader * Stoffer * Styles * Tabor * Taylor * Thompson * Vernon * Vertrees * Walker * Warren * White * Yates * Young
There are just so many names that I ended up typing one or two names from each page.
