The amendment mission in France read, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude...shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” In 1864, an amendment abolishing slavery passed the US Senate, but died in the House as Democrats rallied in the name of states’ rights. It appeared the amendment was sure to pass when the new Congress convened in March 1865. Lincoln preferred the amendment receive bipartisan support, but many Democrats still resisted. The amendment passed 119 to 56 and was sent to the states for ratification, which came in December 1865. With passage, the institution that had indelibly shaped American history was eradicated.

First and Farmers donate to Clinton County Hospice Suite Hospice of Lake Cumberland received a donation of $1,000 from First and Farmers National Bank for a new Hospice Suite to be located in the Clinton County Hospital. Pictured above are, from Left to Right: Melvina Brown, Nurse; Dosha Tucker, Clinical Manager; Steve Mooney, Hospice of Lake Cumberland Executive Director; JD Mullins, CEO Clinton County Hospital; Steve Morgan, CEO and President of First and Farmers National Bank; Sarah Neal, Social Worker; Debbie Hardwick, Nursing Aide; Kathy Campbell, Director of Nursing Services; Euretha Mc- Creary, Director of Social Services.. Hospice of Lake Cumberland thanked Steve Morgan and JD Mullins for their support in creating the opportunity to have a hospice suite in Albany. A plaque displaying the First and Farmers name and logo will be located in the room. Dosha Tucker, Clinical Manager for Wayne, Clinton and Cumberland Coun- ties states, “This donation will allow Hospice of Lake Cumberland to expand its services to better meet the end of life care needs of the families in our community.” When a loved one needs to be in a medical setting, a Hospice Suite gives patients and their families a home away from home, with expanded space for comfort and peaceful décor and surroundings. The Hospice Suite has also received support from The Wray Family, Neal Realty and Auction, Fred Thrasher, Tammy Branham, Sarah’s Cards and Gifts in Russell Springs, 84 Lumber and the Dawes Fam- ily.
