His death was not a surprise; but it is a source of deep regret to many of his former pupils. A Little negro child, whose mother is names Milles Jones, was burned to death at Danville, the other day, by its clothes catching fire at a stove. Millie is a servant in the family of Mr. W. J.

Jan 10 1885 Page 5 Column 3: Death of Mr. Richard P. Butler Mr. Richard P. Butler, our oldest citizen died at his home in Carrollton on Thursday, january 8th, at about 2 o'clock, age 92 years, 3 months and 11 days. His death was not a surprise to any one as he had

been quite feeble for several weeks. Every body heard the announcement with sorrow. He had passed so far beyond man's allotted time on earth, as to cause all to feel a keen interest in his well-far, with a hope that he might yet live many days, even to the age of five score years. Every person naturally felt proud of the man who had dwelt among us so long that no one now living in the community could remember when he came, for, in truth, he settled in Carrollton years before any of her inhabitants were born. All felt a reverence for the old man, who had witnessed the founding of the town with its development, and all the changes and vicissitudes that entered into her history. But, the esteem in which he was so universally held, has for its foundation more important facts than these already stated; for , the community without regard to class, honored and admired him for his superior intelligence and culture, for his benevolence and charity, for his sobriety and fair-dealing. Mr. Butler was born at the mouth of the Little Hickman in Jessamine County, September 27, 1792. He was the third son of Percival Butler who emigrated to Jessamine county from Pennsylvania in 1784. The other sons were Major Thos. L. Butler who died at Louisville, 1881, aged 91 years, Gen. William O. Butler, who died in August 1880, aged 89 years, Pierce Buter who died about 1850, aged 56 years, and Edward Butler who died many years ago, aged 21 years. Mr. Butler also had five sisters, only one of whom is now living -- Mrs. Judge James Pryor, of Covington, who age is about 84 years. Another sister was the late Mrs. Dr. U. E. Ewing, of Louisville, who lived to quite an advanced age, while three other sisters died at the ages of 36, 54, and 58 years. About 1795 the parents of Mr. Butler moved from Jessamine county to May's Lick, Bullitt county, from there they moved to Carrollton in 1796, and here the father died in 1821 aged 61 years.. The subject of the sketch was named after his uncle Richard Butler who was killed in St. Clair's defeat in 1791. He was between 3 and 4 years old when he came to this place. His boyhood days were spent here until he entered Transylvania University. From this institution he graduated at an early age. He then began the study of law under Cabell Breckinridge and acquired a fine legal education, but never practiced. Judge Joseph Underwood, the famous jurist, was his classmate. The war of 1812 was now going on, and the war spirit fairly blazed throughout Kentucky. Accordingly when the Governor called for 1500 additional troops, shortly after Gen. Hall's surrender, young Butler was one of more than 2,000 volunteers who assembled at Louisville under Gen. Samuel Hopkins and from there made the famous expedition against the Indian villages of the North West. young Butler's father who became Adjutant General when the State was formed, was Adjutant General in General Hopkins' expedition, and young Butler was his aid-de-camp. For his service, he was some years ago granted a pension. After the war he returned to his home and devoted himself to farming, which he followed with good success until about twelve years ago when he sold his farm. He was one of the most progressive farmers of the county, always first to adopt new methods and new machinery. He also figured prominently in the affairs of the county. It was he, more than any other man, who procured the organization of the county, overcoming much opposition; and he was its first clerk, as his father had been the first clerk of old Gallatin county. He filled this office some time but never held any other office, we believe. He was married twice; first to Miss Bullock, as a fruit of which union there were four children, none of whom are alive. His only grandchildren are Mrs. X. Hawkins (daughter of Judge J. W. Menzies), Mrs. L. X. Taylor and Richard B. and Miss Carrie Powell. His last wife was a daughter of Dr. Blythe, of Hanover College fame, and there were not children born of the marriage. She died twenty odd years ago. Mr. Butler was a member of the Presbyterian church, having joined it more than 50 years ago. He was a consistent and honored member, filling official places in the church most of the time. The funeral will take place from the Presbyterian church today at 10'oclock. Services by Rev. S. W. Blain, of Louisville, assisted by Rev. T. J. Godbey of this place. The remains were interred in the old family burying ground on H. J. Whitehead's farm near town. [last paragraph from Jan 17, 1885, page 5]

Taylor, of this place, aged 86 years, 11 months and 13 days. She recently came here on account of the illness of her brother, Mr. Richard P. Butler, whose death we mentioned last week. The loss of her brother, no doubt, had much to do with her violent illness, but she had been quite feeble for some months. The cause of her death was paralysis. She was stricken a few days after Mr. Butler's death and it was at once evident that she could not recover. Funeral services were held Monday at the Presbyterian church, By. Rev. S. W. Blain, of Louisville, assisted by Rev. W. McD. Abbett, of this place. The interment took place in the Butler burying ground near town.

R. under the trestle of the shout route railroad in Louisville. He was removed to the city hospital and remained in an unconscious condition until the time of his death, Sunday afternoon.

Jan 24, 1885 Page 5, Column 3-4: Jim Will Johnson and Dock Dunaway came together again Friday morning and the latter received a load of shot in the head and neck. Dock came to town immediately to have the shot picked out. He was as cool as a cucumber. Dr. Taylor relived him of his surplus lead. He says that he was passing through a gate near Johnson's house, on Mr. Bates' farm, a mile and a half above Prestonville, when Johnson came out upon his porch, 50 years distant, and, without warning, let him have it. Dock says he told Johnson to please shoot the other barrel in some other direction but he didn't fire the second shot. Dunaway swore out a warrant for Johnson, but no arrest has been made, as far as we are informed. These boys have been practicing on each other long enough. We may begin to expect a killing if they keep it up. It is only a few weeks since they had another shooting scrape in which both were badly wounded, Dunaway has tasted hot lead four times from three different persons and seems to be getting used to it. First Jim Ben Hayden tried him, then Lucien Evans, and now Johnson gives him a second trial. The wound in this case is not severe; had it not been for his overcoat collar it might have been otherwise.

Then while emitting most blood-curdling howls and cries his wife, in a paroxysm of fright, called in a neighbors, William Fleming, and son, who found the maniac entirely nude, having torn his clothing to tatters, casting it into the fire, and as they approached he threw himself upon all fours and rushed at them with threats and howls. He was captured finally, but broke the ropes as though they were pieces of cotton cord. Seven stout men finally secured the poor victim, who lingered a couple of days, when death relieved him. The deceased was quite and unobtrusive and not given to drink, and the malady did not partake of the nature of rabies. Daniel Hillman, the great iron manufacturer of the Cumberland River in years gone, died recently in the Kentucky Insane Asylum at Hopkinsville. Mr. Hillman was at one time one of the wealthiest men in the country, his estates bing valued way up in the millions, but reverses came, resulting in heavy losses, which unhinged his mind.

There was no one on the place but Mr. Unser and his wife, who were totally ignorant of his intentions until he had fired the fatal shot. Before leaving his home, which is only about 200 years from the Unser residence, he wrote a pathetic letter directed to his mother, who was away from home, stating that he was tired of life, being broken down in health and spirits, and that he preferred death to being a cripple for life, and only in this way. He also said that he had prepared to take his life while in the city of Covington, some time ago, but had concluded to wait until he came home. He also disposed of his property, asserting that he was in his right mind. The many friends of Mrs. Hawkins and of her sons and daughter sympathize with them in their sorrow. Young Richard Hawkins, who ended his own life by suicide was a high minded young man, and, being a crippled and in poor health, preferred death rather then to live a life which might be a burden to his family. He seems to have fired the fatal shot from a sense of duty.

Whether he fell and received the injury by striking his head against the log, or was struck by some rebounding limb, we could not learn. However, he was knocked into the river, drawn out by his son-in- law, who was with him and died in about fifteen minutes. One or two others saw the accident. Coroner Kipping held an inquest and the substance of the verdict was accidental.

Page 1 column 3: Died: At his home in Carroll County, Ky., April 20, 1885, Mr. U. M. Taylor, in the 84th year of his age. He was born December 1st, 1800, in Garrard county, Ky. In 1823 he married Miss Elizabeth Ann Wharton, near Lancaster, who survives, in her 80th year a lonely mariner on the river of time, only waiting a little longer to be called to join the happy throng beyond the tide. They had walked and fought life's battles together for over 62 years. Father Taylor was one of a family of twelve children, six sons and six daughters, four of whom are still living -- three sisters and one brother, one of them older than himself. His posterity at his death numbered 80 as follows: 9 children, 51 grand children and 20 great grand children, of the whole number 56 are living and 24 dead; those living: Children 9 grand children 39 and great grand children 12; dead children four, grandchildren 12 and great grandchildren 8 . In 1836 he removed with his family from Garrard county, Ky. to a place near Canaan in Jefferson County, Ind. When that was a frontier settlement and the writer has often heard him speak of trading with the Indians on the spot where the little town of Canaan now stands. In 1830 he moved his family to Trimble county, Ky and in a few years purchased a farm in Carroll county, and moved on it in 1838, where he was living at the time of his death and on which he now lies buried near the dwelling, in a beautiful spot selected by himself years ago, 400 feet above the Ohio river on top of one of those rugged Kentucky hills that he loved so well. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence in his day, a leader in the M. E. Church. Although born and educated in the midst of slavery he believed it to be wrong and opposed the institution from early youth, being a strong Union man during the late rebellion. He was one of the first to engage in the cultivation of fruits and vegetables for the Madison, Ind. Market and many of the older citizens can remember the large luscious peaches and fine melons he used to sell.

resignation, saying that she had no dread of the grave and exhorting those she was living behind not to grieve after her. Mrs. Davis was a woman of sterling worth, a kind and loving mother, a good neighbor, loved and respected by all who knew her; a faithful and affectionate wife. . . .

Carrollton Democrat August 29, 1885 Page 5 THE RE-UNION The 4th Ky. Cav. Came Together Again, Renew Acquaintances and Have a Glorious Time

Names, Notes and News.

Thursday, August 17th, re-union day, was ushered in with a clear sky and a cold crispe atmosphere. Every heart leaped with joy at the prospect of a happy day--a glorious re-union of that gallant and brave regiment which was without a superior, in either army, for lofty courge, cool daring, heroic fortitude and all those virtues which belong to true soldiers. Nearly every expectation was fully met, the principal disappointment being that Capt. E. O. Guerrant, Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, Gen. Williams and other prominent men who had promised to attend, were not there. However, much as their presence would have delighted the thousands who assembled to honor the survivors of the 4th, it is almost impossible to conceive a more pleasant or more successful meeting than the one held. The committee had left nothing undone which could contribute to the pleasure of any one--plenty of seats, and efficient police force, excellent music; and the people provided a most bountiful dinner. From far and near, baskets poured in till they would have made a mountain, if in one pile. The crowd, which was estimated all the way from five to ten thousand, was fully provided for, and provisions were put back into the baskets. But to give an account of events in the order of their occurrence, it will be necessary to go back to the previous day.

PRELIMINARY MEETING

Wednesday night, at the Christian church, there was a meeting of such soldiers as had arrived, for the purpose of making certain preliminary arrangements. R. F. Harrison was made chairman and E. A. Gullion, of the "Democrat," secretary. It was moved and carried that the chair appoint a committee on proments to consist of one from each company that composed the regiment. The chair then appointed Capt. Ben Duncan, Co. A.; Wm. Demit, Co. B; Lt. E. J. Sanders, Co. C; R. F. Garrard, Co. D; Capt. Sam Duncan, Co. E.; Capt. T. M. Barrett, Co. F; Richard Strother, Co. G; George Doyle, Co. H; Lt. A. W. Smith Co. I; Lt. H. H. Adcock, Co. K. Companies G, I, and K were not represented and members of other companies were apointed to represent them. On motion and second the chair was directed to appoint a committee of three on resolutions. The chair appointed Richard Strother, Lieut. Sinnett Duncan and Lieut. H. H. Adcock as such committee. The meeting then adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock a.m., Thrusday. Met at 8 o'clock, Thursday morning, pursuant to adjournment:

The committee on resolutions reported as follows: Whereas, a call has been issued by members of the 4th Ky, Cavalry, CSA., for a re-union of said regiment, at Sanders Carroll county, on August 27th, 1885; and, whereas in response to the call a majority of the survivors have assembled, therefore, be it Resolved; That in order to renew old acquaintances and keep alive the fraternal feeling heretofore existing among the members of the old regiment, a permanent organization be effected. On motion and second the chair appointed one from each company as a committee on permanent organization. The chair appointed Oscar Coleman, E. T. Craig, Thomas Violett, James McCandless, T. Rfisher, Robert Ellis, Wm. Moore, George Doyle, Joe Turner and Mick Gill. The chair appointed, on motion and second, one from ech company to serve with committee on arrangements as a committee to receive other members of the 4th as they should arrive in town during the day. Hon. W. L. Vories then addressed the meeting in a speech which was a happy bledning of the humorous and the pathetic.

THURSDAY

Immense throngs came in on the morning trains. AT ten o'clock the crowd repaired to the grounds, just across Eagle Creek where the soldiers enrolled their names. Immediately afterward, the "grand rally" took place at which time Capt. Warren Montfort delivered an eloquent and well-timed address and was warmly cheered. Next on the programme [sic]was an address from Gen. Bazil W. Duke, Gen. Duke delivered an excellent speech--by all odds the best of the day. It had good thought in it, was expressed in chaste English and was very appropriate throughout. We are sorry that we have not the speech for publication. Next came the dinner. Thousands ate at private tables and nearly as many more at the public table. Plenty to eat. Senator W. M. Cravens then spoke, delivering an eloquent address. While he was speaking, the soldiers were drawn up in line before him and he addressed them as soldiers, referring to their valor, the cause for which they fought, &c., causing many a tear to flow. In response to "calls" Hon. W. P. Thorne, Judge J. W. Greene, Judge J. H. Dorman, Hon. J. W. Perry, Capt. H. S. Chilton, and Hon. Thomas J. McElrath, made speeches and entertained the audience very much. A number of funny anecdotees were told, while the pathetic was not wanting. In the afternoon the committee on

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION

Reported as follows: T. F. Violett, Pres.;' Ed. T. Craig, Sec.; J. S. Turner, Treas, Committee: Capt. T. M. Barrett, Lieut. A. W. Smith, Alex. Rogers, R. F. Harrison,

A BRIEF HISTORY

Of the Regiment is as follows: The companies which formed the nucleus of the 4th Kentucky, were four, and were organized about a mile beyond Owenton, on the 10th of September, 1862, by the election of H. L. Giltner, M. T. Pryor, Wm. R. Ray and J. T. Alexander as captains. Near Salyersville, Magoffin county, H. L. Giltner was made Colonel of the Regiment, which was numbered and called the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry. M. T. Pryor, was made Lieutenant-Colonel, and Nathan Parker Major. The regiment, when the ten companies were finally all organized, was as follows: Company A--Trimble county, Capt. Wm. R. Ray, of Trimble County. Company B--Carroll and Owen counties, Capt. John G. Scott of Carroll county. Company C--Owen county, Capt J. t. Alexander, of Owen Company D--Pendleton county, Capt. T. E. Moore, of Pendleton. Company E--Trimble and Carroll counties, Capt. Sum Duncan, of Trimble county Company F--Carroll county, Capt. T. M. Barrett, of Carroll County Company G--Grant and Owen counties, Capt. J. T. Willis, of Grant Company H--Oldham and Henry counties, Capt. R. O. Gathright.

Company I--Henry and Carroll counties, Capt. John Marshall, of Henry. Company K--from various localities, Capt. E. D. Whitaker, of Carroll.

On the death of Major Parker, at Wythville, May 10th, 1864, Capt. Ray became major, and Ben Duncan, 1st Lieut. Became captain of Company A. On the death of Capt. Marshall, in Virginia, in the spring of 1865, Lieut. H. S. Chilton became captain of Company I. The first active service the regiment saw--and that was before it was fully organized--was in the fall of 1862, in connection with Marshall's and Morgan's brigades, obstructing the retreat of the Federal General, George H. Mogan, in his retreat from Cumberland Gap. The regiment was involved in forty-three engagements with the enemy, besides numerous skirmishes and including one winter's service under Longstreet when he was in East Tennessee and when engaged in the siege of Knoxville. It was first under Gen. Humphrey Marshall, and finally under Gen. John H. Morgan, until his death at Greenville, Tenn., in November, 1864. After the death of Morgan, Col. Giltner became and was, until the surrender, acting Brigadier-General. The last fight in which the regiment was engaged was at Marion, Va., after the surrender of Lee. It surrendered at Mt. Sterling, Ky., to Gen. Hobson, on the 30th of April, 1865, the men being paroled and allowed to go to their homes, there to remain until exchanged as prisoners of war. The officers were allowed to retain their side arms.

NOTES

Mr. Eddleman wore his old soldier cap. Ed. Craig was a good worker to the last The Trimble delegation was a good one.L. T. Garrard, Compny E., was the first man wounded in the 4th. Dora Supplee was the only ex-Fedral soldier in line. Hurrah for Dora! Capt. Barrett out ranked all other officers of the 4th, who were presnet. Col. H. L. Giltner was much missed, He is keeping hotel at Nicholasville. Braynard Bayless had his faded "Gray Jacket" with him but didn't wear it. Lieut. Archie Smith exhibited the last muster roll and pay roll of his company. Uncle Johnnie Rogers was the oldest man in the regiment. He is yet as active as a cat.

A large U. S. flag, suspended from the bridge, waved over the speakers' stand. Miss Jessie Bridges and Mrs. Robt. Ellis made the flag and assisted on the decoration.

Capt. W. S. Bailey was conspicuous on the stand, with a badge of his regiment, 28th Miss. We had less than one day to get up the proceedings Sorry we could not make our account longer. There were 218 members of the 4th enrolled. Doubless there were some who failed to report their names.

Dr. Sam S. Scott did not bring "Stormy" with him. The doctor is in delicate health. The boys were glad to see him

Capt. Sam Duncan was a powerful magnet, drawing vast crowds around him. No man is more highly esteemed by the boys.

The Sanders people are good entertainers. Our host was John W. Davis, than whom there is not a better one on theis mundane sphere.

Ed Craig and Bob Ellis, of the committee on arrangements, deserved special mention for their energy and zeal. Much of the success is due to them.

D. Braynard Bayless, who was on Giltner's staff, was there and was just 40 years old on that day. He is one of the brightest and most pleasant men we met.

Captains Ben and Sam Dunca, Barrett, Willis, Gathright, Chilton, Alexander, Moore and Whitaker are living, All except the last three were there. Capt. Scott is dead.

Dr. John Price Nuttall was one of the best talkers present. He lives in Madison, Ind., has quit the practice of medicine and entered the Baptist ministry, and now preaches for four churches.

This was really the second reunion of the "gallant 4th"; the first was at Bedford when the remains of the gallant Major Parker were brought home, at which time nearly all of the survivors were present.

There was one colored soldier in line, Ned Winburn, of Henry county. He was a member of Co. A., 6th Ky., and was an excellent soldier. He is now a No. 1 citizen. The boys were glad to shake with Ned.

The following ex-confederates passed through town Wednesday in an immense excursion wagon, owned and conducted by DeKalb Craig, of Madison: Lieut. Sinnett Duncan, Theophilus Fisher, Wm. Bhuchanan, David Detraz, Elijah Holsclaw, Joe Tom Rudd, Zibe King.

Capt. W. Love Garriott, who commanded the Buckner Guards, is now an invalid, suffering with paralysis caused by a wound received at Frankfort. No man received more attention than he did. He occupied a large wheel chair on the speaker's stand. His wife, a very intelligent and cultured woman, accompanied him.

Our efficeint town marshall, S. K. Taylor, was chief of the police force at the re-union and his portly form and handsome face was conspicuous to all day attending to his duties. No better man could have been selected. The most perfect order was maintained all day. It was remarkable, considering the immense crowd.

Mrs. Barbara Pryor, widow of the gallant Col. Tandy Pryor, was present, with several of her children. The old soldiers delighted to honor her. A badge was pinned on her shoulder and she was the only woman who wore one. She, of all others, was entitled to wear it--not only on account of her husband's services, but by reason of her own services, at home, to the South and to the prisoners.

If the speakers had said more about the dead--the gallant Pryor, Parker and Scott--more about mothers, wives, homes and "The girl I left behind me," and less about "constitutional law," "foundamental principles," "the resolutions of '98," and other like matters, their speeches would have touched the heart and ahd a much better effect than they did have. Many speakers are too prone to hug the people and harp on politics.

"Billie Roan," Capt. Adcock's horse which went through the war, was there and received more honors than any of the men. On this same horse Capt. A. Courted his wife before the war. Billie Roan went out with the regiment in '62 and returned in '65, never losing a day's service. His back was never sore and he was never sick a moment. A good portion of the time he was a courier horse, often carrying dispatches on dangerous errands, and he was always on the battle field. At the time of the surrender at Mt. Sterling, Capt. A. gave a woman $30. To bring the faithful steed through the lines, and thence he was brought home by other parties--at a cost of $65. He was foaled in Henry county and was 27 years old last June. Barring crippled knees he looks not more than 9 years old. He was caparisoned and ribboned on the parade ground and attracted much attention.

Next reunion at Carrollton.

Editor Democrat: As a member of the "old 4th" which lately met at Liberty Station, I feel like saying something in praise of the generous hospitable manner in which the soldiers were received and entertained by the citizens of that place.
