Memories of 'Gran' and Sulphur Well's Buelah Villa Hotel shared by Don Graete

"MEMORIES OF BUELAH VILLA"
By Don Graeter


August 1955. There in black and white was my grandmother, just as I remember her, and a smart aleck seven year old making a face. No denying it, that was me.

Fifty years ago. FIFTY YEARS? No denying that either. Mom took the picture. She would have been thirty five. Now, as I helped her get some things in order, this treasure had risen to the surface of the "picture drawer." There were "Gran" and me at the Buelah Villa Hotel in Sulphur Well, standing on the short footbridge from the main hotel to the annex.

John Dillinger was a guest at Sulphur Well's Buelah Villa Hotel

Paul Froggett remembers when John Dillinger was a guest at the Buelah Villa Hotel at Sulphur Well, Kentucky
Most of us are familiar with stories of the notorious James Gang, and of how they spent the night in a cabin located near Edmonton after their reported robbery of the Columbia bank. But this little- known story is one remembered by Paul Froggett, 87, who says back in 1933 another infamous bank robber, John Dillinger, also spent some time here as a guest at the Buelah Villa Hotel.

Paul says in August of 33, his brother Luther went to Louisville to pick up a new car which he had purchased. Cars were scarce here in those days and on his return trip home that afternoon Luther noticed that he was not the only motorist traveling in this direction on Highway 68.
