COVINGTON, KY., MARCH 23, 1872
Whole No. 217
PENDLETON
COUNTY
[From the
Falmouth Independent]
Elder Robt.
Elrod, of the Baptist Church, well and favorably
known by the citizens of Bracken and Pendleton,
died at his residence, in the former county, on
Monday the 4th inst. Age, 74 yrs.
Coal Oil
must come down. It is reported that the coal-oil
well on Kincaid Creek, in this county, the
digging of which three or four years ago cost
one of our citizens a thousand dollars or more,
has lately shown signs of containing oil; having
exploded and set fire to a log cabin near it,
the burning oil running upon the creek, and
setting fire to several logs upon its banks.
This will, no doubt, strengthen the opinion of a
great many of our citizens who were victims of
the oil fever sometime since.
