Extracts of The Bullitt Pioneer, 1910 -1912
PREFACE
In March 2000, I began a project to extract an index of names published in the turn of the century
editions of the Bullitt Pioneer Newspaper. Microfilm of these early newspapers was available at the
Ridgeway Memorial Library in Shepherdsville. I first envisioned strictly an index of names only.
After working through several editions I realized that the style and content were unique and I started
over with the intent of using a line or two from the articles. Later, wanting to include even more of
the content I started the project a third time including significant articles. Hundreds or thousands of
hours later, I have this finished product.
I have tried to include every piece of information that would be of interest to a genealogist or local
historian, using "article", "etc" or "highlights only" for items not typed in its entirety, especially in
wedding descriptions or flowery obituaries. Omitted are most state-wide or national political items.
The images on the microfilm range from fair to completely unreadable. Many were faded, torn,
wrinkled and stained. I can't help but wonder how many went through our famous Shepherdsville
floods. The issues are scattered. Several years had only a few issues available.
The spellings of names often varied with the author. I have no idea as to the correct spelling of
many of the names. I typed them as they were printed.
The quality of the images caused many questions. A smudge, wrinkle or hole created gaps. Inkfilled letter let to difficulty with e-a-o-c, u-n, i-l-t, R-B-H. Many looked so much alike. You many
want to look closer at names with these letters. Although diligent in the preparation and editing of
this project, there may be many instances of error. If you have questions, the microfilm is available
at the library.
Dates are entered in order as they appear on the microfilm. Some issues are out of order. I have
included date published as well as the original page number with the articles to make it easier to find
if you wish to look at the microfilm.
I have enjoyed reading and typing the newspaper into the database. My hope is that someone,
somewhere will enjoy the results of my many late night sessions at the computer.

Under the new school laws, every
county is required to furnish a H igh
School for the b enefit of the common
school graduates. This county is so
small, and these graduates so few in
number, that it would be imp ossible
to establish a separate sc hool for this
purpose. So, the County Board of
Education has made a contract with
the trustees of the Shep herdsville
Graded School to furnish the High
School Course to these gradu ates.
Under the terms of the contract, the
county will pay forty dollars for each
pup il entering in September and
twenty dollars for each one entering
in January. This offer of free tuition
will apply only to tho se pupils
between the ages of six and twenty,
who hold common school diplomas,
and who do not live in any graded
school district.

***Narrow Escape
***Hebron
Considerable excitement was caused
late yesterda y afterno on, by a
runaway on Railroad street. Miss
Blanche Jeffries, Miss Nannie Ree
Thompson and a little baby o f
Charley Jenkins were driving along in
front of M r. Patterson's, when the
horse became frightened by a dog
which ran at him . He im med iatly
became unmanagable and dashed
down the street, overturning the
b u g g y a n d th r o wi n g o ut th e
occup ants.
Fortunately, he ran down the unpaved
street between the railroad and the
Smith Hotel, where the soft mud
broke the force of the fall, and
doubtless, prevented more serious
injuries. Beyond a regular mud bath,
Miss Blanche and the baby escaped
unharmed. Miss Thompson was not
quite so lucky. She received a slight
scalp wound, and her left elbow was
d i s l o c a te d .
She was taken
imme diatly to Dr. Ridgway's office
and the injuries attended to.
Neither the horse nor the buggy was
much hurt.

Centennial year of Little Flock
B a p t i s t C h u r c h w a s f i tt i n g ly
celebrated.
Last Saturday was an ideal day and
several hundred peop le, old and
young, assembled in the quaint old
church to enjoy the exe rcises
arranged for the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Little
Flock. First in order after divine
service, cond ucted by that grand old
soldier of the cross, Rev. W. E.
Powers, came the reading of the
history of the church.
In 181 0, the church was ad mitted to
Long Run Association. It had been
previously organized with twenty-two
communicants, presumably by Rev.
Moses Pierson, then pastor of Cox's
Creek church in Nelson C ounty. W e
have not the names of the first
members, but the first record read s:
" M et on Saturday before the 4th
Lords day in August, 1810 and after
worship proceed ed to business."
They put the Lord first. Then they
received seven members by letter and
experience. The first church house
was a stone building, one and onehalf miles east of the present edifice,
and near the junction of Penn Run
and Cedar Creek.
Here Moses
Pierson labored for perhaps fourteen
years, and many, both black and
white, were added to the church. For
in the Church of Christ, there was
neither bond nor free and the negroes
enjoyed all the privileges of church
members except voting, and we often
see master or mistress and slave
received together into the church.
But we see them d isplaying their
native weaknesses and subjec t to
discipline many times. In 1813, Bro.
Bob secluded for stealing. 1814, Bro.
Charles disciplined for riding a ho rse
without permission, and another
excluded for behaving disorderly at a
corn shucking, another for stealing a
penknife, a sister secluded for
stealing soap and flax, a sister
excluded for taking a ribbon from
Peter Smith's store and whipt by law
another for insolence to his master.
And today, we see members stealing
r e p u ta tions a n d n o dis c iplin e
Page 69
administered. But the white members
w e r e a l s o r eq u i re d t o w a lk
circum spectly, and a white sister was
excluded for telling falsities, another
for dancing, and a brother for
speaking disrespectfully of a sister
and her family. Many brethren for
induging too freely in spirituous
liquor.
Among the early members were
ancestors of our most prominent
families. Samuel Simmons, Abraham
Fields, Tho s. Wa lls, Jas. West, T hos.
Sanders, John Beckwith, E lizabeth
Rogers. Later, John Holsclaw, M rs.
C. E. B ell, Dr. Ireland . Of a lo ng list
baptized in 184 0, but one lives today,
Mrs. Margaret Ba tes, nee Wells, who
is now 87 years of age and who
attended the centenary, the object of
much attention.
After the rem oval of Rev. Pierson in
1825 t o I n d ia n a , R e v. Robt.
Gailbreath became pastor and served
some 25 years. In 1848, Dr. J. A.
Ireland was ordained and later served
as pastor several years. Rev. R. A.
Beauchamp served as pastor several
years in the 50 's, then Rev. G. W .
Robinson and J. B. English. During
which time the church prospered and
we find the brethren attending to the
Lo rd's business in the church. There
is a break in the record from 1 837 to
1839, during which time the brick
church must have been built, as there
is no record of it later, but in 1844,
the legislatrue passed an enabling act
authorizing and consenting to the
conveyance of the stone chu rch to
Benj. Summers in consideration of a
tract of one and one-half acres, on
which the present church stands.
The congregation assembled last
Saturday no doubt represented quite a
contrast to the one first gathere d in
1810, but they listened to the same
gospel preached.
Brother W . B.
Powers presid ed. W . J. Bell, in a
happy way delivered a cordial
welcome, the response being by Bro.
Powers.
Dr. Holslaw read the
history. A poe m was read by M rs.
Holsclaw.
Dr. W . J. Holtzclaw
preached a powerful sermon the "The
Thr e e C a r d i n a l E l e ments in
Christianity", followed b y M r.
Moody in a impressive talk on "W hy
I am a Baptist". The we adjourned
for dinner, and the bo untifully spead
table was a goodly sight, surely no
one went away hungry.
In the
afternoon, Dr. J. W . Porter delighted
a large congregation with a masterly
address on "the Debt the World owes
to Baptists." All who were Baptist
felt proud of the fact.
Saturday
evening, Rev. Vanarsdale, a former
pastor, preached.
Sunday morning, we were delighted
with a sermon by Rev. W . E. Powers
on "Be Ye Steadfast". It was as the
parting words of one on the
borderland of eternity and had effect
as such.
Then the Sunbeams
rendered a pro gram quite p leasingly
and an offering was made for the
band. In the afternoon, the WM U of
Little Flock held a meeting which
was addressed by M rs. Be ll M oorman
and Miss Leac hman, city missionary
of Louisville.
A very pleasing
feature of the Sunday Service was the
s i n g i n g o f th e q u artet f r o m
She pherdsville, Me ssrs Lindsa y
Ridg way, Ho n. Robert Zimmerman,
Mrs. Chas. Bridwell, Mrs. Frank Bell
and in the afternoon, they sang again
with Joe Brooks taking the place of
Mr. Z im me rm an .
M rs. W. J.
Holtzclaw also sang beautifully, "I
W ant to Go There ". It was a great
occasion, the mem ory of which will
reach far into the new ce ntury. Mrs.
J. R. Holsclaw.

Pittsburg, No v. 1. - The Carnegie
hero fund commission has announced
the recognition of fifty-eight more
heroes over territory extending from
Massachusetts to Southern California.
As always, in comparisons of deeds
of valor, Kentucky is at the front or
thereabo uts. The hero com mission
finds no more thrilling deed then that
Page 92
of I. Woo d M iller, a liverman of
W aterford, KY, who on February 23,
1909, after nightfall, saved John H.
Eggan from drowning in the waters of
Brashear's Cree k at T aylorsville. To
the extent of a full thousand words,
the comm ission formed by Andrew
Carnegie to hunt life savers, talks of
the heroism of Miller.
The commission goes on to tell how
Eggan, who was one of the mounted
rescuers in this time of flood, was
swept from his horse and clung to a
lamppost until cramp overtook him,
how he then shinned up the post out
of the reach of the water, still crying
for help.
Miller had made an attempt to reach
him with his horse, but finding that
his horse could not stand against the
current, he abandoned the animal and
struck alone toward Eggan on the
lamppost. He was comp elled to rest
in a tree on the way, but he finally got
within speaking distance of Eggan
and encouraged him not to give up.
No one would come to Miller's help
with a rop e for E ggan, and finally
after many tries, Miller succeeded in
getting a piece of fence lodged
against the post which held Eggans,
and he was finally rescued. It took
Miller an hour and a quarter to effect
the rescue.
The hero com mission directs that a
silver medal be given I. Wo od Miller
and that $,1000 be given him to be
applied toward the purchase of a farm
or in any other manner that he may
desire, providing that it meets with
the approval of the executive
committee.
Of the rescues from death or the
attempts, seven were from railroad
trains or street cars, nineteen from
drowning, one from a runaway horse,
eight from su ffocatio n in gas
producers or wells, twenty from death
in mine d isasters, two from fire and
one from shooting.

Miller, of Missouri, and three sons, of
whom two live here in Kentucky and
one in Missiouri.
Her children,
grandchildren
and
great
grandchildren made her the head of
four generations.
Her maiden nam e was L ee, a
daughter of Robert M . Lee, deceased,
of this cou nty, and all direct
descendants from the Virginia family
of Lees.
She began her early
childhood when K entucky was a
border and frontier state.
The
Indian's wild whoop had scarcely
died away when she was born, and
this great Nation of our was then
nearly all east of the Alleghany
Mountains. No ocea n steamers, no
railroads, no telegraph lines, no
sewing machines, no telephones, no
phonogranphs, no automobiles, no
birdman flying through the air; yes,
all these wonderful and u seful
discoveries and inventions, and a
thousand others, were not ye t
dreamed of.
In 1847, she was married to Robert
Gre enwell, no less a gentleman than
she was a lady, and it is very natural
to believe that she made a good and
faithful wife and a noble mother. Her
natural good sense, her uniform ly
generous and kind nature caused her
to be loved and esteemed by all with
whom she came in contact.
She became a mem ber of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
over 40 years ago and lived and died
a consistant christian.
She was the mother of a large,
harmonious and lo ving fam ily. No t a
single member of her family even
gave their parents any cause for
troub le or grief. She was always
uniform ly kind and gentle, but was
very firm in her convictions. She was
charitable and loved her neighbors,
friends and the poor. T he writer,
when a small orphan boy, found in
aunt Ellen Greenwell, a home and a
mother, and much of his life has been
shaped by the better traits of her life.
It can be said of her, truthfully, that
her good deeds in life will live after
her. Signed, H. J. G.

Wm. Troutwine Killed by George
Mo ore in a dispute over cattle.
W ednesday afternoon, George M oore
shot W m. T routwine with a single
barreled shot gun and he died within
a few hours thereafter. M oore was at
once arrested and lodged in ja il.
Troutwine, in company of Lewis
Clayton (colored) had gone to
Mo ore's place to get a cow he had on
pasture there. After getting the cow,
they met Moore with a wagon load of
corn. Their talk so on becam e angry,
hard words were passed, and reaching
down in his wagon, Moore got a shot
gun and fired. The load of shot
struck Tro utwine at the top of the
right leg, almost completely severing
the femoral artery. Troutwine walked
a few steps and sat down while
Clayton ran across the field to the
home of Jas. Miller Jr, who
telephoned Dr. Bates. As soon as
possible, the wounded man was
removed to M r. M iller's, and
everything possible done, but without
avail. The unfortunate man received
his death wound within a few steps of
where he had been born and reared.

***Capt. J. W. Ridgway
Cap tain J. W. Ridgway, one of
Bullitt County's best known and b est
loved citizens died at the home of
his son, Dr. S. H . Ridgway last
Friday evening, after an illness of
eight weeks. Death was due to the
hardening of the blood vessels and
failing of bo dily strength, incident to
old age. He was almost eighty-four
years old and most of his life had
been spent in Bullitt County.
Cap tain Ridgway was a gentleman
of the old scho ol.
He held in
contempt all that was little and
questionable. For sixty years, he
had been a membe r of the M asonic
Lodge and about that long, a
member of the Method ist Church.
His daily walk was according to the
teachings of those institutions and
the commands of God.
His remains were buried in the
family cemetery near Cupio the
services cond ucted by the M asonic
lodge.
He is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Nick Lewis of West Point and

That "death loves a shining mark"
was never more truly exemplified
than when the final summons came
that called from time to eternity

the commencement exercises of her
class and Saturday had a number of
her classmates as her guests at her
home in the co untry. She seem ed in
perfect heath, but that night became
sudd enly ill, soon lapsed into
unconsciousness and the efforts of
physicians to revive her were in
vain. She w as sufferin g from
uraem ic poisoning and the disease
made such rapid progress that she
passed away as stated.
The funeral was from the Chapel of
St. Mary M agda lene's Church at
Brook and C ollege Streets in
Louisville and b uried in St. Louis
Cemetery near that city. Pallbearers
were:

will not obstruct the crossings,

***Educational News
Under auspices of the Bullitt County
School Improvement League, J. R.
Thom pson, Secy.; Chas. Brid well,
Pres. A permanent County School
Improvement League was started at
our last teachers' meeting.
The
purpose to effect a closer union of the
school interests of this county,
looking forward to a betterment of
school conditions as existing here and
in the State at large. We are on the
eve of an educational upheaval in this
State, and one of the first aims of this
League should be to place B ullitt
County among those at the top.
W hen we co me to realize that money
spent in educating the masses of the
peo ple means material prosperity as
well as mental and social advance;
when it is borne in upon our brain
areas that an organized educated body
is bound to attract wealth; when we
come to know that a dollar expended
for popular education will save two
dollars spent for the maintenance of
"penal institutions" and to the
conduct of criminal courts; I say
"when we understand that education
is a matter of "dollars as well as
sense", we will join in one united
effort for better schools and universal
education. I urge every teacher to
organize a district improvement
league. Chas. Bridwell, Pres., J. R.
Thomp son, Secy.
