Frances Hayes would have been 100 today

Writer so happy to read of Mrs. Scott's accomplishment, reaching her 100th birthday November 15, 2011. Her grandmother, Frances Hayes, and Cuva Scott, were long time friends and co-workers at Lerman's Department Store

Crystal Hayes writes:
My Grandmother Frances Hayes would have been 100 years old today could you please add her to your in memory section of your birthdays? Mrs. Cuva Scott who is also 100 today was a long time friend and co worker at Lermans Department store with my Grandmother so happy to see the story about her. Reaching 100 is truly an accomplishment! Thanks! Crystal - CRYSTAL HAYES
We're honored to add her name for today. We'd especially welcome more additions to the Birthdays today. Would love to see a photo of the two women together, or other favorite photos. We've carried alumni of some great Universities of Real Life before, those who've made it big getting a start at Houchens U. and at UK/University of Kroger. Lerman's had so many illustrious people to come from it's ranks: Department store managers, coaches and baseball players, at least one circuit judge and a Speaker of the House. Any recollections, photos would be appreciated. -EW

Casey 1 of 6 counties randomly selected for election audit

From Office of Kentucky Attorney General

Attorney General Jack Conway announced that six Kentucky counties were chosen in a random drawing this afternoon to undergo independent inquiries for any potential irregularities that may have occurred during the general election on Tuesday, November 8. The counties are:
  • Casey
  • Breathitt
  • Todd
  • Daviess
  • Livingston
  • Garrard
These audits supplement the work our investigators and prosecutors did on the ground leading up to the general election, and the process, as defined by Kentucky law, will ensure that voters in every corner of our Commonwealth encounter procedures at polling places that are fair and equitable, General Conway said.

In Memory of Mother: Ida Mae Bardin-Williams

By William Reed

On November 16, 2004 we lost our dear mother and mother in-law Ida Mae Bardin-Williams. She traded her earthly clothing for a robe and crown. Many knew her around the Chance area as the little girl with the built up shoe. Her brothers would take her to school in a small wagon everyday so she wouldn't have to walk. Her parents were Henry Clay and Bettie Henager Bardin of Chance.

We will dearly miss her and she will always and forever be in our hearts.

Bill and Janice Newton-Reed

I'm so glad you printed this. Jose Massilenia Pablio, who later changed his name to Franklin was that boy who came back with James W. Sexton. He was my great-great grandfather. It really made my day to read about him in CM today. --Darlene Campbell
