I have been trying to find their family to return the letter if they are wanting it. The letter is dated Mother's Day 1930. In the letter, she is letting her husband know how and what she wants done for her funeral and MPCC is where they attended church.

Eighty Years Ago: around The Shire (and beyond) As August 1939 drew to close, the Great Depression, then approaching the 10th anniversary of Black Tuesday, slowly, reluctantly loosened its stranglehold grip on America. Thousands of miles away, Germany continued apace its plans to invade Poland, and the world held its breath. But meanwhile, back in The Shire... By JIM Rev. A.P. White, president of Lindsey Wilson Junior College, confidently predicted the school would seen an increase over the previous year's enrollment of 150 when the new semester started on September 11. During the summer months, athletic director and coach A.T. Gullette and Rev. Avery Eastridge, a Methodist minister and recent LWJC graduate, had been "working in the interest of Lindsey," recruiting students in the surrounding counties. A few days after classes started, Rev. White remarked the enrollment stood at one hundred-sixty-five, a record for the school as a junior college, and that the count might yet hit one seventy-five. The LWJC faculty for academic year 1939-40 included Miss Elva Goodhue (science), Miss Noma Dix Winston (history and modern languages), and three of Adair County's own: O.A. Durham, American government; Mrs. Foster (Carrie Grissom) Pickett, piano; and Mrs. Ray (May Hamilton) Flowers, public school music. (Mrs. Flowers, a native of Tennessee, arrived in Adair County about 1924 to teach music at Lindsey Wilson. She soon met and fell in love with Ray Flowers, and they were married toward the end of November 1927.) Work on the Columbia-Liberty road progressed nicely, with the footings for the Barnett's Creek bridge just completed, and the state highway department continued work on the Glensfork road, grading it from the residence of Mr. Ernest Flowers on into Hard Scratch, a distance of three and a half miles. County Clerk W.E. Harris reported the number of fishing licenses sold to date already exceeded by nearly fifty the total number sold the entire previous year.

DPH on lookout for pulmonary disease linked to vaping By Christina Dettman/Barbara Fox Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) is working closely with health care providers, local health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to gather information and investigate severe pulmonary disease related to e-cigarette product use or vaping, primarily among adolescents and young adults. As of August 27, 2019, 215 possible cases have been reported from 25 states and additional reports of pulmonary illness are under investigation. One patient in Illinois with a history of recent e-cigarette use was hospitalized with severe pulmonary disease and died on Aug. 20. Patients have had symptoms including cough, shortness of breath and fatigue, with symptoms growing worse over a period of days or weeks before admission to the hospital. Other symptoms may include fever, chest pain, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Most of the cases reported are among adolescents and young adults. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, health officials are requesting that you refrain from further e-cigarette use and retain your device for possible further investigation.
