"Dr. U.L. Taylor has recently bought from parties in this county two old time clock, commonly called 'Grandfather clocks.' One of them he will ship to his nephew, Dr. C.B. Taylor, Elkhart, Ill., the other one he will keep for his own use. These clocks are about seven feet tall and are much sought after by people who have a fondness of being reminded of the days of Auld Lang Syne. The clock that is now in Dr. Taylor's family room is a handsome piece of furniture, though the shape and work is a forcible reminder of antiquity. It is doubtless several hundred years old."--Adair County News, 15 May 1901.

"Old Clock for Sale--I have a tall, wooden clock, one hundred years old, for sale. It keeps correct time. Address: E. Lapsley, Burnetta, Ky."--Adair County News,, 6 August 1902. "An Old Clock--An eight day 'Grandfather's Clock' is now at the jewelry store of Mr. L.E. Young. It was sold to the highest bidder a few weeks ago at the sale of Mrs. Meeky Montgomery, Mr. Young becoming the purchaser. Everything about it is hand made but the dial. It is nine feet high, made of cherry, a beautiful piece of furniture. The clock has not been running for more than fifty years, but the works are as good as new. Mr. Young has given it a thorough cleaning and in a short time it will be telling the hours as they come and go. These old time clocks are becoming quite rare and often sell for a fancy price. From the best information obtainable it was made in Virginia one hundred and ten years ago, and brought to Adair County by one of the first Montgomery settlers."--Adair County News,, 3 March 1915.
