      Deaths and marriages have locations, if not noted it occured in Bracken co.

      and had to be arrested when a 45 Colts pistol a dozen or so cartiridges and a
      pair of brass knucks were found on him. He was find $50 and 30 days
      imprisonment, with the working statutes applied, and now he is beating up rock
      for the State. Prof Phillips while on the witness stand testified how he come
      to Frankfort; that his ticket was furnished him and if the court would let him

      Charley Provence of London was arrested in a disreputable house for shooting

      people that Gov Bradley had cordered them to Frankfort. But what does Bradley
      say? Before the State Board of Commissioners, he says that any man that says

      There is an error also in either the birth date of James the son of Susan
      and OG or Susans birth date... I really don't think that she was only 10
      when James was born, also Susan would have only been 13 when Anna was
      born.......This COULD be but doubtful...
