History: Remembering Cave Ridge It was named by Joseph Alexander Turner. Cave Ridge is an important landmark in this part of the state, from Indian times on.

The Bank of Columbia robbers were overnight there before executing their infamous deed Reprinted with permission from "Senior Quest Magazine," Edmonton By Geniece Marcum When early settlers first came to what is now known as Cave Ridge, Kentucky, in southwestern Metcalfe County, the area was already an important landmark in the vicinity.

The Bottomses: Richard Hovious spots huge gap in Veterans List Knifley's Marion and Ider Bottoms had four sons who served in World War II. Writer remembers the day at Knifley HIgh School when news came of Edward's death.

Marion and Ider (both good friends) had four sons who served in WWII---Janice writes a lot about Edward, who was killed in action (Herman Chelf was at his side when this happened), Robert Bottoms ("Humpy") and Jackie and Jimmy (twins) also served in WWII.
