Dickie - Who was this small,
one-armed boy?
Our Second mystery is about a small boy who lived in the Ashley or New Hartford township east of Ashley toward the Louisville area. His name was Dickie and he had one arm. His age could have been anywhere from 6-13. He could be connected to any of the following families: Tinsley, Butler, Oden, Patterson, Lovell, Humphrey, Robinson, Srote, or Hostrip. It seems most likely he was attached to either the Butler or Tinsley family. We would like to know any information about this boy. Although we know he died very young, we don't know WHEN he died. UPDATE!
Many thanks to Terry for all that hard work! Sounds like a winner to us, at least until someone can prove anything different!

Whose Bible is this?
The Genealogy Society recently came into possession of a family Bible. There is lots of family history in this Bible and we would very much like to see a family member get this big piece of their family puzzle. Included in this Bible are: grandfather Winterton Cox born Dec.9, 1842 7children: Grandma Harriet Cox died Feb.12, 1885 Elijah and Fannie's children: Kull family UPDATE!
The Bible has since been returned
to the Holland family and rests in the proper hands once again. |

Who are these
people and where are these places?
A large number of pictures were found in the attic of the Biggs' House in the process of cleaning out the estate of Ethel Short. The house is located on Court Street in Bowling Green, across from the library, behind the rest home. The box containing these pictures literally fell out of the ceiling. The family kindly donated them to the genealogy library. If someone can identify the subjects of any of these pictures as family and would like to add the picture(s) to their personal collection, we would be happy to help you out. You can contact Audrey Jones or Rhonda Stolte Darnell with any information. You will see that a few of these pictures have additional information with them. If something was written on the back, we have included it here. What you see is what we know! |
