MRS. SUSAN L.
TAYLOR died on FEBRUARY 10, 1904. Nothing from my pen could add anything to her
many excellent qualities of head and heat, for that in her death earth has lost
a Christian and heaven has gained a saint there can be no doubt. Mr. Lincoln
said to Carpenter, the artist, “paint me just as I am” I am sure if the deceased
had her wishes been consulted would have asked nothing more. In early life she
professed faith in Christ and became a member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church,
where she lived a consistent member until her death. On December 7, 1865 she was
married to L. L. TAYLOR, now deceased, to this woman four children were born;
Annie M, Ulysses (now deceased) Clydius W. and Mary J. survive her. She lived to
see her children grown and settled comfortably in life and her work seemed to
have been done
It was the good fortune of this writer to find a home in
her family at that age when boys are so easily led astray. Orphaned in infancy
we never had the advantages of counsel and advice from father and mother. So
essential to the development of Christian character and in this home and this
good woman we found both, if we have accomplished anything for good in this life
it has been in a long measure due to encouragement and kindness received at the
hands of this good woman. Surely this scripture is fulfilled in her, Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord, yea from henceforth, for they rest from their
labors and their works do follow them. Doubly blessed are all children who have
such a mother. What more could be said of her, She was a Christian woman

C. M. BARNETT, of HARTFORD, Surveyor of the port
of LOUISVILLE, has received a notification that a reunion of the Barnett family
will be held in ST. LOUIS on SEPTEMBER 16TH, which he and his family are invited
to attend. He will defer his contemplated visit to the World’s Fair until that
time
The Barnett family is a very large one and has connections in all
parts of the United States. Great interest in the reunion has been caused among
its members and is probable that the event will be attended by 1,500 to 2,000
people. The Barnett’s are numerous in England and the first to come to this
country were two brothers, JOHN and JOSEPH, to whom were granted by the King of
England a tract of land, upon which they settled and became wealthy planters.
This was perhaps twenty-five years before the Revolution and the American branch
of the Barnett family multiplied rapidly
In 1780, three of them left
Virginia and came to Kentucky; one Alexander, the great-grandfather of the
present generation of Barnett’s settled at HARTFORD, which town was named for
him, being called Barnett’s station in the early years of it’s existence. The
other two settled at the headwaters of the Green River and on Silver Creek in
Madison County. In this state the family has about five hundred members. In
Louisville an entire page of the city directory is given to them

GOODS, E. P. GILLSTRAP MILLINERY, T. P. FAUGHT DRY GOODS, THE SCHOOL HOUSE and
the MASONIC HALL
AFTERMATH OF CROMWELL FIRE:
Jas A. HUDSON was brought
over to HARTFORD from Cromwell on the 15th and taken before JUDGE MILLER on a
charge of lunacy. A jury was empanelled but dismissed, and Hudson was placed
under arrest on warrant sworn out by Edgar Gillstrap charging him with arson.
The Cromwell fire had its origin in Hudson’s store and it is reported that
GILSTRAP went to Hudson on the 14th and demanded pay for his loss in the fire,
threatening Hudson with arrest for setting fire to the town. Hudson then took
red precipitate with suicidal intent, but it only made him very sick
At the
preliminary hearing his trial was set for June 25th and his bond was placed at
$300.00, which he gave by depositing the money with the court.
Yesterday
evening Hudson was reported very much worse from the effect of the red
precipitate, and is not expected to live

ELISHA MILTON
MILES was born in what is now known as the Frank Mitchell farm near Fordsville,
Ky. December 11, 1839, and was the eldest son of JOHN S. and AMANDA MILES ,
formerly of Shelby Co. Ky.
I have not been able to learn anything in
regard to the early history of John Miles except that he came to Ohio Co. from
Shelby Co. and it was in the latter county that he married Miss Ford. The exact
date that he came to Ohio County is unknown, but it is supposed to be in the
year 1834. He was for many years a member of old Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church,
and for some years he was moderator of that church. He died October 21, 1883 and
his wife died some years before. Elisha Miles lived on a farm near Fordsville
with his father till the year 1857, when he went to Cloverport, Ky., to learn
the trade of a tailor with William Witt, who was married to a sister of Elisha’s
mother. Young Miles remained with his uncle till the year 1860, when the
troubled forbearance of the Civil War so paralyzed all business pursuits that he
returned to the farm near Fordsville, where he remained till October 15, 1861,
when he enlisted in Co. K, 17th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and after a service
of 39 months he was honorably discharged a private of Co. B. of the 17th, Ky oat
Louisville, Ky. January 23, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service
During the Georgia Campaign in the battles near Cassville, Ga. May 19/22 ,
1864 he received a gun-shot wound in the left hand, which made a cripple of him
for life and on his return from the army, as this wound deprived him from
working at his trade, he engaged in agricultural pursuits on his father’s farm.
April 8, 1869 he married MISS JOSEPHINE E. SMITH, daughter of the late HENRY
SMITH, a prominent early settler of the Fordsville area. Mrs. Miles is a twin
sister of N. B. SMITH now (May 1904) living near Fordsville he was named in
honor of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the great Republican Emperor of France, and his
twin sister after the Empress Josephine, first wife of Napoleon
In
December 1882, a Grand Army Post was recruited at Fordsville and when it was
duly mustered, January 6, 1883, Elisha M. Miles was one of its charter members
and during his long membership in the order he was in good standing and served
much of that time as an officer of the post, or a committeeman on some business
pertaining to the Grand Army. Comrade Miles died of consumption on the 17th of
March 1898, after a lingering illness of many months. His funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. B. T. Jenkins, a Sergeant of the 17th. Ky. , and former pastor
of the Baptist Church at Fordsville, where brother Miles and many of his
relatives were members for years. He was buried by his Grand Army comrades with
his deceased relatives in the JOSIAH HAYNES graveyard on his farm, and with
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT furnished a military headstone to mark his grave.
Comrade Miles is survived by his wife and six children, 3 sons and 3 daughters.
2 sons and 2 daughters are also grown and married. His youngest son is 12 years
old and his youngest daughter is 8 years old.

Too Much Morphine
VIRGIL M. PORTER died Monday from effects of Over-Dose of The Drug
Virgil M.
Porter, a well known timber dealer, of Morgantown, died from the effects of an
overdose of morphine at the home of Joe Sanderfur, of the Sanderfur’s Crossing
neighborhood, about 2 o’clock Monday afternoon. Porter came to Hartford Saturday
to look at a body of timber near Hartford and spent the night with Mr.
Sanderfur, occupying a room with another man, who noticed that he took two doses
of some powder during the night. Sunday morning when Mr. Sanderfur went to call
him for breakfast he could not be aroused, and it soon became evident that he
was suffering from the effects of an opiate and physicians were called. Constant
effort was made to restore him to consciousness but proved futile. Porter
formerly lived in Cromwell and is well known throughout the country. He moved to
Morgantown about three years ago. When a young man Porter drank heavily, but
several years ago gave it up. It was said that he gradually fell into habit of
using morphine and that for some time past he had been practically a morphine
fiend
The deceased is survived by a widow and four children. His wife was
telephoned and reached Sanderfur’s before Mr. Porter died
