Extracts of The Bullitt Pioneer 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. Ink-filled 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.
