BARREN COUNTY EARLY HISTORY
When Kentucky became a state in 1792 there Revolution. More than 80 percent of these were nine counties. One of these counties, people were English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish Lincoln, included all the land south of the in background. Green River and was an area which had been set aside by Virginia to be given as land grants Barren County was named in honor of the to Revolutionary War veterans. Gradually Barrens, a large grassland area which covers these large counties were divided into smaller the northern third of the county. The timbered units so that by 1912 there were the 120 parts of the area had been surveyed and counties in the state today. These divisions apportioned by the state of Virginia for her were made and county seats located so that it officers and soldiers. Because the Barrens would be possible for anyone living within a were covered with tall grass rather than heavy county to make the round trip from his home timber, the area was thought to be unfit for to the county seat within a single day. cultivation. Early settlers realized the value of grazing stock there, but it was later discovered On December 20, 1798 when the Kentucky that this was the richest land in the county.

BARREN COUNTY EARL Y SETTLEMENTS
AUSTIN
Once a self-sufficient community in southern Barren County, Austin is today a place where residents have the benefits of the various services of nearby towns and cities but can retain the quiet and beauty that comes from living in the Kentucky countryside. According to records Austin was originally to have been called "Mell" Because of a misunderstanding with the U. S Postal Service where someone misread the "M" as "H", it was decided to change the name to Austin. It may have been named after Russ Austin, a storekeeper there, or a family named Austin who owned a large farm in the area.
The first physician in Austin was Dr. Dossey, and in the early 1900's Dr. Alex E. Ferguson began a general practice in Austin. Hayden Gillock served the community as an undertaker. As in most small communities, the most durable business was the general store. The first owners of the store were Field Berry and Jeff Curley. Sarah Brant was the first postmistress and also the owner of a rni11inery shop. In 1905 the general store was taken over by Robert Harrison, Jr. He expanded the merchandise so that even furniture and suits were sold.
At one time Hiram Jones delivered ice in the community and Billy Joe Childress and Will Helm operated blacksmith shops. At the tum of the century one resident of the community was authorized to make brandy.
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, also called ''Greenhill,'' was established in 1871 . The Masonic Lodge was built around 1900 and has served as a center for many community activities. The Austin-Tracy Elementary Schoo~ which at one time included a high school, has also served as a focal point in the community through the years.
CAVE CITY
In 1853 the Knob City Company which was composed of four Louisville businessmen purchased a 342 Y:z acre tract of land on which to establish a town. The price of the land was $2000 per acre, making a grand total of$6,850. At that time this was the largest price ever paid for land in Barren County. Why were these business men willing to purchase land at this price?
1. Because of its nearness to Mammoth Cave this location was foreseen as a possible resort area. THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG.8
2. It was near the Telford Turnpike, a road which had been built to join Louisville and Nashville. (This road became the basic route for U. S. Highway 31-W.) 3. A small running creek in a nearby cave, Sink Hole Spring, offered a ready water supply.
During its first few years Cave City saw growth and expansion. In 1859 a hotel was opened. The post office, which had been located at Woodland, was moved to Cave City in January of 1860. The post office was located in the general store belonging to Beverly D. Cunl. He also served as the first postmaster. By the Civil War, in addition to the hotel and post office, Cave City could also boast of a church, a schoolhouse and Masonic Hall combined, three dry goods stores, three saloons, two drug stores, two doctors, one wagon shop, two blacksmith shops, one jewelry store and watchmaker, two lawyers, one tobacco warehouse, a depot, and a telegraph office. There was a population of 150.
One important event in the development of Cave City was the completion of the Louisville and Nashville Rai1road. Merchandise was brought to the storekeepers by rail, local citizens could ride the train to visit nearby cities, and people from all over the world were able to come to Cave City to visit Mammoth Cave.
CORAL HILL
First known as Myers Mill, Coral Hill was settled by two pioneer families who came to Kentucky from Virginia. The Joneses came in 1795 and the DulT family in 1798. Both families served as leaders in the community, but it was the Joneses who provided a focal point for the community with their general store and post office. Coral Hill also served as a stage coach stop on the Cumberland Trace Stage Line.
William Jones and Nancy Wren Jones, along with their four children, came to Kentucky in 1795 and settled in Green County. Their seventh child, William Sowell Jones, married Mary Hodges Twyman, daughter of John and Margaret Wayt Twyman. They made their home in Glasgow, where all six of their children were born.
John Wayt Jones, the eldest of William S. and Mary Jones' children, purchased property on the northeast side of Beaver Creek on August 18, 1838. He built a home on this property and taught school at Terrapin Point until 1854 when he took a position with 1. W. Robinson and Company in Louisville. Francis Marion (Frank), another son of William S. and Mary, also received a teaching certificate and taught his first school at the Beaver Creek Seminary.
In 1855 John W. and Frank agreed upon a partnership for selling goods at Myers Steam Mill on Beaver Creek in Barren County. The firm name was "F. M. Jones and Brother." According to their letterhead they were dealers in dry goods, groceries, hats, boots, shoes, custom made clothing, and a general variety of goods. They also sold china, glassware, reading glasses, furniture, stoves, light hardware, feed , seed and fertilizer. John l. Poole, who worked as a cobbler, was the only full time THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG.9 employee of the store.
In 1856 Frank Jones was appointed postmaster and was granted his petition to have the post office located in his store. It was at this time that the name was changed from Myers Mill to Coral Hill. The telephone exchange for the community was also located in the store, and a blacksmith shop was located across the road.
John Duff was born in Fauquier County, Virginia in 1763. At the age of twelve he enlisted as a private in the Virginia Line B. After the Revolutionary War he married Mary Wheatley and in 1798 the couple came to Old Rocky Hill, Kentucky to live and rear their family. Their fifth child, Edmund Duff, was born March 16, 1795 in Culpepper County, Virginia.
As a young man, Edmond Duff made thirteen trips from Beaver Creek in Barren County to New Orleans with flat boats loaded with tobacco. After selling the tobacco he sold the boats and made the return trip by foot. In 1844 he purchased 260 acres ofland on the north bank of Beaver Creek at Coral Hill from George and Elizabeth Galloway. In 1847 Edmund married Eliza Jane Evans, daughter of Major Joseph and Elizabeth Warder Evans. Edmond and Eliza Jane were the parents of seven children - John William, George Thomas, Mary Elizabeth, Joseph Haiden, Edmund Guest, Henry Walton and Elmore Warder Duff.
Mary Elizabeth Duff (Lizzie) attended Bethel Female College. On October 26, 1875 she and F. M. (Frank) Jones were united in marriage by the Reverend L. E. Campbell, a Baptist minister from Bardstown. Three sons were born to this union - Clarence Duff, Haiden Twyman and William Lawrence Jones. Lizzie and Frank were always willing to share the hospitality of their home. Teachers from the Coral Hill School, as well as visiting ministers from the Coral Hill Baptist and the Christian Church, often stayed at their home. Frank often said, "You are always welcome; the latch string hangs on the outside of the door."

mSEVILLE
Originally called Blue Spring Grove, Hiseville is located in the northeast comer of Barren County. The land on which the town is located was originally owned by three families - Thompson, Walton, and Gadberry. The first home there was constructed by one of the Thompsons. As the town was located on the road leading from Lexington to Nashville many people passed through Hiseville. During the years between 181 6 and 1858 the stage came through twice each day.
The first post office in Barren County located outside of Glasgow was established at Hiseville. At first it went by the name Blue Spring Grove, but after the post office, some stores and a blacksmith' s shop were located there the people began looking for another name for their village. Several suggestions were made - Amity, Social Point, and in a spirit of ridicule "Goosehorn." For some reason people liked Goosehorn and for some years the village was known by that name. Around 1867 the name was changed again. Hiseville was chosen this time in honor of Elijah Hise, a native of the community who represented the district in Congress.
PARK CITY
After the War of 1812 America enjoyed a period of great prosperity and an "era of good feeling." As Kentucky was more populated by this time and people were now more free to travel many Americans came to Kentucky to visit Mammoth Cave. They traveled by stage up or down the old turnpike, later known as Dixie Highway, until they came to Three Forks. At the crossroads there they turned off to go to the cave.
The land around this crossroads was owned by the Bell Brothers, who in 1820 built a tavern there as an aid to travelers. A saloon and a store were built nearby and it was not long until Bell's Tavern became famous, not only for its hospitality, but for the honey and peach preserve brandy served there. It was visited by many famous people, including Henry Clay and Charles Dickens. Shortly before the Civil War the tavern burned. It was to be replaced by a magnificent stone structure, but these plans were overshadowed by the war and never completed. However, the same year, 1859, that the unfinished tavern was abandoned the L & N Railroad and a post office were completed.
After the death of Bell his widow remarried Colonel Procter and the land went to him. In 1868 a railroad was built from Bell's Tavern to Glasgow and in that same year Colonel Procter laid off THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG. II streets on his land. Some of the first to buy and occupy the lots were Dishmon, a storekeeper; Parrish, a druggist; Judge West; Satterfield, a carpenter; and Pucket, a cattle dealer.
The village continued to grow and in 1871 was incorporated as the town of Glasgow Junction. It was still a stopping place for people visiting Mammoth Cave and in 1886 a railroad was built from there to the cave. The rail line ceased to operate in 1932. In 1936 the name Park City was adopted.
TEMPLE HILL
The first post office in this area was called Skaggs Creek, and it was not until 1858 that the name was changed to Temple Hill. Why Temple Hill? According to one story a wanderer who slept in an old log church there woke the next morning and carved ''Temple Hill" on the rough-hewn church door before departing. But others say it was named for Temple Tunstall, son of Joseph Tunstall, who lived in nearby Nobob and was one of the early settlers.
The earliest settlers to move into this region were Edward Bullock, Hugh Norvell, John Ritter, Francis Scott, William Wilkinson, Solomon Lough, Moses Peden, Joseph Tunstall, William Wells, Anderson Underwood, and D. B. Ritter. Those coming later included Peter Starr, Jacob Sherfey, Nicholas Wren Jones, John Harris, Joseph Goode, and George Oliver.
A well-known building in Temple Hill is the Poplar Log Church, originally called Skaggs Creek Baptist Church. The earliest graves in the churchyard are dated 1820. At one time there was also a Methodist church there, but it ceased to exist some time ago.
When the Skaggs Creek Post Office was established in 1839 Benjamin M. Payne was appointed postmaster. He was succeeded by William A. Norvell in 1842. The post office was discontinued in 1863 and re-established in 1867 with William B. Young as postmaster. Other postmasters serving at this location include Dalie P. Bray, 1880; Walter C. Comer, 1887; Pattie G. Harlin, 1893; Lucy D. Marrs, 1898; John C. Francis, 1904; Archie P. Belcher, 1909; and Mrs. Bertha Lowrey, 1924. The post office was again discontinued in 1934.
Early in the nineteenth century Nelson Sanders came to Temple Hill from Virginia. He is credited with opening the first store there. After Sanders' death the store was operated by his son, Hughes. Later the store was bought by Frank L Eubank, and J. B. Payne was the third owner. Later stores were operated by B. H. Lowrey and Ernie Travis.
Two mills on Skaggs Creek were built by David Bowman Ritter and later operated by his sons, Fishborn and George Ritter. The first mill was built around 1821 and both continued in operation into the present century. One mill produced a commercial product known as White Dove flour.
Blacksmith shops were operated through the years by Peter Boss, James Marrs, and Dick Hale. Another "business" person in the community was Aunt Lizzie, wife of Peter Boss. She was a notorious fortune teller and many people came to have her tell what the future held in store for them TIlE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG. 12
or to help in locating a lost item. For some reason, she had the uncanny power of being able to tell the exact location oflost objects.
General Alexander SpotsWood was the owner of Saltpeter Cave. During the War of 1812 saltpeter was mined there. Remains of the mining operation can still be seen there, along with a stream with eyeless fish, and Indian skeletons and burial relics.
Temple Hill makes several claims to fame More physicians - three members of the Biggers family (C W., L. C, and M.F.) and Dr. T. W. Britt - have come from this area than from any comparable area of the county. Temple Hill has also provided a number of beauty queens - Miss Dottie Nuckols, Miss Kentucky in 1956; Miss Bunny Wells, Miss Kentucky RECC 1956, and Miss National RECC and Miss Kentucky County Fair in 1957.
The first high school in Temple Hill was estabushed in 1925. It had one room and one teacher, Oren Beatty. Later a four-room frame building and then a brick one were built. At one time four students who later became superintendents were enrolled there - Mitchell Davis, James Depp and Maxwell Ritter, Barren County; and Samuel Smith, Cumberland and Hart Counties.
MILITARY SURVEYORS
Before settlements were made in Kentucky military surveyors were sent in to survey the land so that land grants could be made to Revolutionary War veterans. The only food available to these men was wild game. So each unit had a cook and hunter. The hunter left the camp each morning and spent the day looking for food. They returned in the evening loaded with wild game which was cooked and eaten by the members of the surveying party.
Once when a surveying party was camped on what is now Nobob Creek, their hunter, Bob, failed to return one evening. Each evening when the surveyors returned to camp and found that Bob had still not returned the comment "No Bob yet" was made. Bob, who was probably killed by Indians, was never heard from again, but the name Nobob is still in use today. There is a creek and a community by that name.
The same story is told of Nolin in Hardin County. The name of the hunter for that party was Lynn. , ------

JOHN COSBY Late of Barren County, Kentucky
Submitted by
Bettie D. Flener J J2 2 Highland Way Bowling Green, KJ' 42104-3863
In the restless years which followed the Revolutionary War, many veterans of that conflict experienced a strong desire for change in their lives. For many, who had lived all their lives in the coastal regions of the colonies, the lure of the area just east of the mountains at the western edge of the new nation became increasingly attractive. For others, the wilder, sparsely populated territory which lay far beyond those mountains held great appeal. But for many Virginians who, generations before, had left the flat, coastal areas to seek the rugged beauty of the high peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Barren County, Kentucky combined many unique geographical features. This area included not only vastly flat, barren valleys, but also hills and streams. These elements satisfied the longing of those individuals who searched for change, but who also retained a preference for a gently rolling, partially timbered landscape. One such individual was John Cosby.
The John Cosby who migrated to Barren County, Kentucky was the fourth successive Cosby male to bear the given name, John. The first in the line to bear that name came to Virginia Colony from England in 1627 with his father, Charles Cosbie, the immigrant. Mary Loftus, the wife of Charles and mother of young John, had died at or shortly following the birth of her infant son. The following line of men who bore the name John Cosby prospered in America. Almost one hundred (100) years transpired before our 'Barren County John Cosby' was born to Mary Wingfield and John Cosby on December 16, 1737 in Hanover County, Virginia. In 1771 he married Jemima Yancey, a daughter of Mary Marshall and Archelaus Yancey, in Goochland County, Virginia. By 1777 he was living in Louisa County, Virginia where he took the Oath of Allegiance on September 13th and subsequently served as a private in the Virginia troops during the Revolutionary War. He served under Captains Garrard Miner, John Bias, William Harris, John White, Robert Mosby, James Watson and George Lumson in tours of six weeks until the siege of Yorktown, in which battle he served. The surrender of Lord Cornwallis to General George Washington on October 19, 1781 ended both the war and John' s military service.
After the war he and his family lived in Louisa County, Virginia for some time, and then in Albemarle County. The 1800 Tax List for Albemarle County indicated that John still owned property there. He appeared on the 1811 Warren County, Kentucky tax list. Between 1800 and 1810, John, Jemima and some, but not all, of their children, moved from Virginia to Barren County, Kentucky. The John Cosby family is listed on the 1810 Barren County Census; however, at least three of their children who had been born in Virginia remained in that state, but came to Barren County, Kentucky after their marriages, which took place in Virginia. One son of Jemima and John Cosby, who also bore the THE WNGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG.22 name John (thus he was fifth in the direct line of those who bore that given name) remained in Virginia where he married Martha' Patsie' Hare, a daughter of Elizabeth and Richard Hare, Sr. He died in Virginia in J 829.
A portion of the property upon which Jemima Yancey and John Cosby settled was in the extreme eastern portion of Warren County along Buck Creek, near the Barren County line. A dispute over the Barren-Warren County line was settled in 1827 and Buck Creek was officially designated as flowing in Barren County, Kentucky. All subsequent census records, deeds, and other legal documents list John Cosby's property in Barren County.
On June J 2, 1824 John Cosby wrote his last will and testament in which he lists his wife and children by name. The will is recorded in Will Book 3 at the Barren County Courthouse.

Although John made provisions in his will for his family members, he did not die until November, 1843 . His age at the time of his death was 105 years, II months. His wife, Jemima, and their sons, John, Joel, and William had preceded him in death. One son, Archelaus Yancey Cosby (Archibald) had become disabled. On March 12, 1835 John was awarded a pension due to his service in the Revolutionary War. His award was made retroactive to March 4, 1831 and was in the amount of$20.00 per annum.
Several explicit conditions were set forth in John Cosby's will: If his wife, Jemima, should die before he, her lifetime-only benefit would revert to the estate for distribution among their children. Also, if any of his children died before he, that portion of the estate which had been left to the child that died was to be divided among the offspring of the deceased child. In addition, ifany of John' s children should die without issue, the portion which had been bequeathed to the barren child would revert to the estate for distribution among the surviving siblings.
After John's death, two of his married granddaughters, their husbands, and children moved to Barren County from Nelson County, Virginia. Also, with them was another granddaughter, Jemima Cosby, who was unmarried. These young women were daughters of Martha 'Patsie' Hare and John TIlE WNGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG. 23
Cosby, both of whom had died in Virginia prior to 1830. Martha E. ' Patsie' Cosby had married John W. Carter and Mary H. 'Polly' Cosby had married David M. Anderson. Anderson, on behalf of his wife, joined with his sister-in-law, Jemima Cosby, in requesting that the court appoint John W. Carter as Power-of-Attorney to settle the 'Estate of John Cosby, Deceased, Late of Barren Co .. Kentucky.' This appointment was approved November 30, 1843. Early in 1844, these heirs sold their interests in this very large and complex estate to John C. Cosby, son of Joel Cosby, who had preceded his father, the elder John Cosby, in death.
These families and their descendants remained in Barren County. Some current residents of Barren and surrounding counties trace their ancestry to John Cosby. However, some of his immediate descendants succumbed early in life to a disease which was prevalent in earlier times. Martha 'Patsie' Cosby Carter died as a result of typhoid fever April 28, 1853 . Her husband, John W. Carter, died October 20,1854; their son, John B. Carter, died four days later. John W. Carter and his son also were victims of typhoid fever. Soon after the death of Martha Cosby Carter, John B. married Amy Cosby Dodd, whose first husband, Bradford Dodd, had also been taken in death. Amy, with the help of her sister and brother-in-law, Mary and David M. Anderson, continued to provide a stable home for the children in their families who had survived the trauma of the early deaths of parent and sibling. The blending of family groups that had suffered great hardship and loss ofloved ones became a survival technique which was born of necessity. The John Cosby family was only one of many such families .

THE GLASS FAMILY OF BARREN COUNTY, KENTUCKY
lnJonnalioll submincd by Cynlh ia Taulbee 2228 Threlkel Ferry Rd . Bowling Green, KY 42101
Benjamin Glass was born in 1790 in Virginia, and on December 8, 1810 he married Susannah Franklin in Henry County, Virginia. Accompanied by Benjamin's younger brother, David, they came to Kentucky in 1820 and settled in eastern Barren County. Benjamin purchased 1,000 acres ofland around Kino, Kentucky in 1827 and in 1831 built a story and a half house about a mile ITom Kino. The 1850 census lists Benjamin Glass as a farmer of 2,000 acres.
Benjamin and Susannah had ten children : James, Lewis, Stephen, William, Benjamin, Jr., John, Polly, Betsy, Milley, and Nancy. Benjamin Glass died in 1853 and was buried in Lick Branch Cemetery in Barren County.
Benjamin's third son, Stephen, was born August 25, 1816 in Virginia, and on January 23 , 1838 married Lucinda Sartain. The 1850 census lists Stehpen as a farmer with 1,200 acres of land . Stephen and Lucinda Glass had eight children: Mary, Sally, Joel, Thomas, Elizabeth, Caroline, Fannie and Nannie,
Fannie Glass was born April 13 , 1856, and on December 14, 1876 was married to Adolph Rapp. Mr. Rapp was born in Germany and emigrated to America when he was a child. In 1870 he moved ITom Louisville to Glasgow where he operated several businesses including a restaurant, a bakery, and a general merchandise store. But he attained his fame with the establishment of his photographic studio. An article from an early edition of the Glasgow Times reads:
"One of the most pleasant and engaging gentlemen with whom this Times reporter met in making the rounds of Glasgow businessmen was Mr. A. Rapp who operates an elegant photography studio on the comer ofMain and Green over Bradford's Saddlery Shop ..... employing only the latest and most modem facilities in photography, his work is of a superior order and it is sqfe to ~ no town in Kentucky can boast of a studio from which beller work emanates. "
Many of the photographs that have been passed down through the family were made in the studio of Uncle Adolph Rapp.
Stephen and Lucinda' s son, Thomas J. Glass, was married to Elizabeth B. Hammer at the home of her parents, Peter and Mary Hammer, on December 3 I, 1867 by James Brooks. They lived in Barren County in Glasgow's First Magisterial District and are listed in the 1870 census as farmers of 300 acres. THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG.28
Thomas and Elizabeth Glass were the parents of five daughters and four sons: Mary, Lucinda, Stephen, Dovie, James, Isaac, John Thomas, Elizabeth, Dandie, and Flossie. They wanted their children to have an education, even though it meant having to board them in nearby cities in order to attend school. Their daughter, Elizabeth, (wife of Robert Henry Mitchell) first attended classes at Forest Seminary SchooL A photograph of the school in 1890 shows the teacher, John Jenkins, and his 71 students. A few years later when Elizabeth went away to school she kept a ledger of her expenses. Her entries included 25¢ a month to have her laundry done, a telescope for 90¢, and ten yards of dress material at a cost of $1.50.
Elizabeth was a good student and finished school with a grade average of95. Her principal, E. B. Terry. Wrote the following leter of recommendation.
To Whom Concerned: It gives me great pleasure to speak afew words in commendation ofMiss Elizabeth Glass. She has been under my insfruclion for some time, and her work has always been most excellent. As a pupil, Miss Glass is diligenl, conscientious, and painstaking and I feel sure she will carry these same necessary alfribules into her work as a teacher.
In paint of education, I have no hesitancy in recommending Miss Glass to any position to which she may aspire. She already holds a first class certificate in Barren Counly, and is now taking a thorough Graded School course.
She is a refined, Christian lady and will exert an influence over her pupils that will be wholesome and upbuilding.
To those desiring the services of a well equipped teacher, I most earnestly recomment Miss Glass.
Signed E. B. Terry, Prin. Glasgow Graded Public School, Glasgow, Kentucky, Nov. 15, 1902.
Elizabeth Glass received her diploma from Glasgow Graded Public School on May I, 1903 . Her eloquent commencement speech gives a glimpse into the character of this beautiful woman.
"Another school year has vanished, not so wilh its memories. Its track is thickly strewn with rosy remembrances and sunny lingerings, and glistens alld dances with its castles in the air. But let the dead past with its sorrows alld its pangs, and its pleasures only find lodgement that it may lead us to higher aims and holier purposes.
It is with sorrow as well as pleasure that I have come to the close of my school days in this dear old building. It is a pleasure of course to know I THE WNGHUNTER, VOLUME XXI, ISSUE 4, PG.29
have advanced so far with my education, but nevertheless, it is very hard to part with my classmates and my kind teachers who have striven so hard with me, and with us all, and be cast out among strangers to battle for myself The right road however is straight and narrow, alld there is a reward for all who continue therein. So let us strive to make a ~1/ccess in life. May we never take a backward step for it is sure to lead to dishonor, but may we ever strive to 'rise on the stepping stones of our dead selves to noble things. ' May we realize that 'life is real, life is earnest ' and that the white robed goddess, success, awaits us all, right out yonder in the future, if we only woo and win her. Life is what we make it. We gel oul of il jusl what we put into it. Our seccess or failure depends elllire/y upon ourselves. Our lives may be full ofexquis ite music, !f we only learn 10 lauch Ihe notes right and in lime. The most potelll factor for good in allihis world of ours is a lrue life, it louches the cords of the human soul as nOlhing else can and makes it vibrate 10 the music ofeternity . Let each of us remember Ihal 'life is history, not poelry.' II consists mainly of little Ihings, rarely is il luminaled by flashes ofgreal heroism, rarely broken by great dangers or demanding great exertions.
We Ihank you for your kind and watchful care over us dear leachers, and shall always feel indebled to you for what success we make in the future.
We wish to express to you also, honored lruslees, our gratilude for Ihe privileges you have permitled us to enjoy. My mind shall ever dwell with pleasure upon the happy hours I have ~pen1 in this inslitutiion whose interesl you guard, and f shall Irace whalever success f may have in life 10 the influence of this school room. It is a noble cause you guard, genllemen, and may the pasl ~7/ccess of Ihe /nslitulion encourage you and make you more ambitious for a still beller school inlhe fUlure ......
Elizabeth was hired by the trustees of district No. 116 to begin teaching September 9, 1903 . However, her teaching career was short because on January 18, 1905 she married a handsome widower, Robert Henry Mitchell, and began housekeeping at Meador, Kentucky in Allen County.
