  • Kentucky Murders 1897
    Kentucky murders Part 1 1897 - 1936. One of the most sensational Kentucky cases was the brutal murder of Pearl Bryan in 1896. 21 year old Pearl was the youngest of twelve children and came from Greencastle, Indiana. She had done well at school and was very popular. At the time of her death, she was five months pregnant. Her body was discovered at Alexandria Pike, near Fort Thomas, on February 1, 1896 by a sixteen year old farmhand in the orchard owned by his employer, John Lock. He reported the find to Colonel Lock who immediately informed the police. To their horror, officers found that Pearl had been strangled and then decapitated. The head was not found. At this time, police had no means of identifying the victim but were able to get a strong lead from the unusual shoes that she had been wearing, which through the good record keeping of a shoe factory and a retail store in Greencastle, the purchaser was identified. Pearl had been reported missing by her brother and together with the fact that she had bought the only pair of size 3 shoes out of a batch of 12 pairs sent to the shop and other details discovered by the autopsy, it was clear that this was her body. Her heartbroken family were able to identify the clothes found on her at the scene as belonging to Pearl. Pearl had been having a relationship with a 26 year old dental student in Cincinnati named Scott Jackson, by whom she had become pregnant, something completely socially unacceptable in these times.

He was Aelected the 28th governor of Kentucky, serving from 1879 to 1883. Until the elec- tion of Ernie Fletcher in 2003, Blackburn was the only physician to serve as gov- ernor of Kentucky. After earning a medical degree at Transylvania University, Blackburn moved to Natchez, Mississippi, and gained national fame for implementing the fi rst suc- cessful quarantine against yellow fever in the Mississippi River valley in 1848. He came to be regarded as an expert on yellow fever and often worked pro bono to combat outbreaks. Among his philanthropic ventures was the construction of a hospital for boatmen working on the Mississippi River using his personal funds. He later successfully lobbied Congress to construct a series of similar hospitals along the Mississippi. Although too old to serve in the military, Blackburn supported the Confederate cause during the Civil War. In the early days of the war, he acted as a civilian agent for the governments of Kentucky and Mississippi. By 1863, he was aiding Confederate blockade runners in Canada. Shortly after the war’s end, a Confederate double agent accused him of having carried out a plot to start a yellow fever epidemic in the Northern United States that would have hampered the Union war effort. Blackburn was accused of collecting linens and garments used by yel- low fever patients and smuggling them into the Northern states to be sold. The evidence 28th Governor of Kentucky against Blackburn was considerable, although much of it was either circumstantial or pro- vided by witnesses of questionable reputation.

  • Kentucky African American Heritage Commission
    Kentucky African American Heritage Commission 410 High Street Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 502-564-7005, Ext. 125 August 23, 2017 The Honorable Matt Bevin Governor, Commonwealth of Kentucky 700 Capitol Avenue, Suite 100 Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 Dear Governor Bevin: We terribly regret your recent decision not to remove the Jefferson Davis statue from the Capitol Rotunda. Our state and nation confront a moral crisis, and we stand in need of moral leadership that will rise above the violence, hate, and evil which seeks to overturn our founding democratic principles. The statue is clearly an affront to human dignity and serves as a symbol of bigotry, injustice, and a failed ideology. You posit that removing the statue would be a “sanitization of history.” We disagree. The Davis statue was actually placed in the Capitol as a means of “sanitizing history.” The United Daughters of the Confederacy lobbied for the inclusion of the statue, at taxpayers’ expense, to shape Civil War memory and perpetuate Confederate ideals of race supremacy. Sadly, this statue has miseducated generations of black and white children. Developing “historical context,” acknowledging that Davis was a slave owner and traitor, will not address the ugly racist symbolism the statue projects in the face of African-American history. It glorifies the Confederacy and represents the Jim Crow South. It was unveiled at a time when segregation, violence, and racial injustice permeated communities around Kentucky. Between 1900 and 1939, more than sixty African-Americans were lynched in this state. In 1936, just four months prior to the unveiling of the Davis statue, twenty thousand people gathered for the public hanging of a black man named Rainey Bethea in Owensboro, Kentucky.
