In the News - Marion, Kentucky 1915

 

The fastest and easiest way to learn the character of a town is to read the local newspaper. The following items appeared under the title of Personals in the Crittenden Record-Press, Marion, Kentucky, 21 January 1915, page 5.

E.R. Franklin of this city and Eula Threlkeld of Crayne attended the burial of Mrs. R.E. Threlkeld at Union Friday.

Creed A. Taylor attended the funeral and burial of his aunt Mrs. R.E. Threlkeld at Union Friday.

Rev. W.R. Gibbs has been called to Deer Creek Church and will preach there the 5th Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hughes on the Piney road near Wilson Hill are rejoicing over the arrival of a 10 pound boy at their home. It is especially interesting as their daughter Pearl who was their only child is now in her 14th year.

 Judge T.J. Nunn left Monday for Louisville to visit his daughter, Mrs. George M. Eady. After a short visit there he will go to Frankfort to visit his son, Judge C.S. Nunn of the Court of Appeals.

Mrs. Guy Lamb accompanied by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. A.J. Driskill, arrived home from Denver, Colorado Thursday morning. She stood the trip very well. Few people knew she was expected but all her friends are glad she is well enough to come home and hope she many continue to improve.

Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Lewis of Wellsford, Kansas, who have been guests of their daughter, Mrs. Walter Enoch, left Wednesday for Noblesville, Ind., to visit her sister, Mrs. Cora Doctorman. They will spend a week there and then go to Warren, Ohio, to visit their daughter, Mrs. Daisy Metscan and after a short visit there will then go to their home in the sunflower state.
