Ira Combs of Jeff&#8221;\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030.jpg]\u00a0<\/b>Page 1,\u00a0Column 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">SKETCH BY REV. IRA COMBS OF JEFF<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first settler in the neighborhood of Jeff was <\/span><b>Mason Combs,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grandfather of <\/span><b>Ira Combs,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who now lives on the farm which his grandfather settled just a few hundred yards from the spot upon which the first house stood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mason Combs was one of seven brothers who emigrated to Kentucky from North Carolina about the year eighteen hundred or perhaps a few years before that date. The brothers scattered out in different directions. One of them, <\/span><b>Elijah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, settled where Hazard now stands and <\/span><b>Mason<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> located on the Kentucky River near the mouth of Carr Creek. Here he lived and raised his family and was laid to rest on a little point above the new highway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shriek of the locomotive and the honk on the speeding automobile now rend the air which he once breathed in peace and quiet, broken only by the song of birds or occasional call of a wild turkey. He had three daughters, <\/span><b>Nancy, Willie <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Tach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and several boys, <\/span><b>Washington, Preston, Talton, Marin, Clin <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Napoleon Bonaparte<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The names of the first and last ones are reminders of the great men who made history in that epoch.<\/span><b> Talton Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was the father of eight sons among whom was <\/span><b>Ira<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the subject of this sketch, who was born in the year ? He remembers when there were only two or three houses between Hazard and the present site of Jeff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeff itself did not come into existence until [1902] about sixteen years ago. He and three of his brothers served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Most of their time was spent near Lexington and Winchester. Their commanding officer was <\/span><b>Col. H. C. Lilly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who afterwards became the first judge of Knott County. Next in rank was <\/span><b>Lieut. Col. Heard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Other officers were <\/span><b>Eversole, Fields, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Stacy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The Hazard High&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>[local_hist_album_030b.jpg]\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 3,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Column 1<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THE HAZARD HIGH<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hazard may well be proud of its splendid new High School building. Its imposing appearance at the summit of the long slope up Baker Avenue is a decided asset to the city its interior arrangement fulfills the promise of its exterior. The auditorium is spacious and attractive, the gymnasium well equipped, the library is located in a charming room and is well stocked with well-used books; the students seem to have developed the library habit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b> Miss Faulkner<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Librarian, is re-cataloging the books according to the Dewey-Decimal System. This is quite a task and will not be completed for several months. One of the many admirable features of the building is the teacher&#8217;s restroom, a cozy and homelike little room. Last of mention but by no means least in importance is the cafeteria. The array of white tables with the other furnishings all arranged with a nicely and exactness of eye make the food even more tempting. However, no additional stimulus of this kind is needed. The cooks are up to the same high standard of efficiency which is maintained in every department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The writer had the pleasure of a fifteen-minute interview with the Junior year students in their English Class under <\/span><b>Mrs. Ross.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>[local_hist_album_030b.jpg]\u00a0<\/strong>Page 3,\u00a0Column 2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the time was short, quite a few interesting things came to light which indicate the general trend of literary and musical taste among the students. The most widely\u00a0[read] magazine proved to be <em>Popular Science<\/em> which is read by 15 boys. Ten girls read <em>Good-Housekeeping<\/em>. The other magazines have readers among both boys and girls. <em>Cosmopolitan<\/em> has nine, <em>Colliers <\/em>and<em> National Geographic<\/em> seven each, <em>Liberty<\/em> five and <em>American<\/em> four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the favorite books are <em>The Keeper of the Keys<\/em>, <em>Beau Sabreur, Lonesome Road, End of the Road<\/em>, (17) <em>Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Robinson Crusoe, Captain Blood, <\/em>and<em> The Snare<\/em>. Whittier is their favorite poet by a vote of 21, with Edgar Allen Poe running close second with 20. Poe, by the way, is the favorite of the Senior Class of the Hindman High.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individual tastes differed so much in regards to songs that no general favorite could be determined. <strong>Robert Cole<\/strong> has a feeling for the &#8220;Mountain Love Song.&#8221; <strong>William Strong<\/strong>&#8216;s taste is less romantic but quite healthy and normal; his heart turns to &#8220;The Old Gray Mare.&#8221; Other favorites are &#8220;Indian Love Call,&#8221; named by <strong>Lorena Robinson<\/strong>, &#8220;Waters of Minnetonka&#8221; by <strong>Viola Bower<\/strong>, &#8220;Carolina Moon&#8221; by <strong>Robert Raider<\/strong>, and &#8220;Till We Meet Again&#8221; by <strong>Callie Patton<\/strong>. The well-known old-time songs found partisans. <strong>Douglas Horn<\/strong> likes &#8220;Darling Nelly Gray,&#8221; <strong>Lucien Norman<\/strong> chooses &#8220;Swannee River&#8221; and <strong>C. B. Dix<\/strong> admits that the melodious strains of &#8220;Turkey in the Straw&#8221; sound sweetest to his discriminating ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The students deserve approbation for their interest in and familiarity with classical music. This is largely due to the radio program broadcasted from New York last winter by Walter Damrosch. The Hazard High is fortunate in being able to give the boys and girls this course in musical appreciation and evidently they realize this fact. They should try to make the best possible use of their opportunity and appearances indicate that they are doing so.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good descriptive article concerning the schools of Hazard appeared in the January issue of the <em>L &amp; N.

He was a boy of about fifteen when the Civil War began and of course wanted to join the army, along with his older brothers, <\/span><b>Sam, Ben, Dixon <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Jesse.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They prevented him from doing so but still, he managed to see a lot of the war by keeping in touch with his brothers and visiting their companies now and then. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One time when he had stayed all night with Sam, command orders were received early in the morning to proceed to Hyders Gap at double quick to [forestall] the Federals who were making for it. The soldiers had just begun cooking their breakfast and had to go off and leave it. The boy wandered around the campfires and dined royally from the provisions the soldiers had left. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His brother Sam reached the gap with his men first and they lay down in the edge of the bushes to wait attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the battle Watson watched the Negro soldiers retreating past where he and his family were then staying in Russe[ll] County, Virginia. The Negroes threw their guns away in this excitement and, boy, like he went out into the road and picked one up. Just as he was carrying it to the house the Confederate soldiers began passing. One hailed him and told him to take the gun back where he got it for if he was seen with an enemy&#8217;s gun by soldiers who did not know\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030e.jpg]\u00a0<\/b>Page 6,\u00a0Column 1\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;him it might cause him trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His father, John A. Caudill, because of having four sons in the Confederate Army, was naturally in disfavor with those of his neighbors who were Unionists and several times his life was endangered, although he himself was an old man and a minister taking no active part in the war. He and the rest of the family went to Virginia and remained during the latter half of the war, returning home after the peace was signed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He considered himself safe after the war was ended but really this was when he had his worst troubles. They had their cattle in Morris Branch and the one horse that was left at the top of the mountain. Late one evening, Watson was coming home from seeing after the stock and was met by a member of the home guards who asked where he had been. He told him he had been pawpaw hunting. \u201cYes, pawpaw hunting,&#8221; [jeered] his interrogator. \u201cYou&#8217;ve been to see the horse you&#8217;ve got hid on the mountain. Now you lead me right to him.&#8221; The boy started running and the man fired at him three times. The bullets cut the bushes around him but did not strike him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He ran all the way to Whitesburg where some Yankee soldiers accosted him and asked what was the matter. He tried to put them off but they insisted. \u201cWell, then, wait till I get my breath and I will tell you.&#8221; The soldiers were indignant when they heard what had happened and told him to go with them and they would shoot the&#8230;horse thief. Two of the soldiers were cousins of his by the name of <\/span><b>Brown<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who had taken the opposite side from his own family. They went down the river to where there was a [party] that night. The man who had fired at Watson was trying to court his niece. They asked her where he was and she told them that he had just left up the branch with his hat in his hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This same man and his brother once came to Mr. Caudill&#8217;s house at night to kill him. Watson was upstairs over his father&#8217;s room in bed when they came. An old Negro couple were downstairs. They came in and told Mr. Caudill to get up and come with them\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030e.jpg]\u00a0<\/b>Page 6,\u00a0Column 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;for he was going to die. He made answer that he was prepared to die at home. This reply was a little unsettling to them for they did not understand what he meant by being prepared to die. The old Negroes put up most pitiful pleading. The boy lay quiet in the bed listening. The marauders became urgent. He heard his father say to the Negro, &#8220;Go tell the boys to come down.&#8221; The Negro came to the stairway and called out loudly, &#8220;Hey dere, boys de Old Boss says for youse to come down here.\u201d Watson took the cue at once. He jumped out of bed, knocked over the chairs, stumbled over everything in the room and made racket enough for half a dozen. That was enough for they would be executioners. They didn&#8217;t like the \u201cpreparations&#8221; and they left the place at double quick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another time a gang of bushwhackers got after Mr. Caudill near Whitesburg and he reached refuge at the home of an old man named <\/span><b>Billy Hilton<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Mr. Hilton told him to come in. He had two sons and said there would be no danger in his house. He asked if Mr. Caudill could shoot a gun. They barred the door as the posse came up. They called and asked if Caudill was there. Hilton replied that he was. &#8220;Tell him to come out here.&#8221; &#8220;No,&#8221; was the resolute answer. &#8220;He&#8217;s not coming out. I&#8217;ve got business with him.&#8221; &#8220;If he don&#8217;t come out we will break the door down,&#8221; threatened the besiegers. \u201cBreak it down and come on,&#8221; was the invitation. &#8220;There are four of us here with our guns sighted on the door. Just as fast as you enter it we&#8217;ll lay you there dead. After a little further bluster, the murderous party went away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minor depredations were committed in the name of the Law. Their cattle were confiscated, wagons taken, turkeys killed and bee gums robbed but finally the inflamed spirit subsided, old grudges were gradually forgotten, and with the passing years, friends and foes were gathered together for their last sleep in the quiet hillside graveyards. Peace [?]ed over the calm mountain ranges and only memory recalls the troubled days of old.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" \/>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Prof. Clarke Remembers&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030e.jpg] <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 6,\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Column 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PROF.

Either he or Miss Stone, one or the other, have cooperated in the building of every other school house located at Hindman. This schoolhouse was built in 1888 and <\/span><b>Peyton Duke, Dr. John Wes Duke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s father, hauled the logs. Different ones of the community gave their labor and the house was finished by degrees.

But we wanted the name of getting them from the Governor and the knowledge that he was backing us. <\/span><b>Sheriff J. D.

He was Governor then\u2014a kind of low, heavy-set man and wore a little goatee on his chin. He had been a general in the Civil War and had surrendered Fort Donelson to Grant. Afterwards, he and General Grant were great friends and he was one of the pallbearers at Grant&#8217;s funeral. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We told <\/span><b>Governor Buckner<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what we had come for and he said we could have the guns.

I&#8217;ll pardon every one of you.&#8221; While he was talking, Pearl Combs dropped off to sleep and didn&#8217;t wake until just as the Governor was leaving. He jumped up, rubbing his eyes. \u201cWhat did he say, boys? Is he goin&#8217; to let us have &#8217;em?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We brought back a dozen guns, 500 rounds of ammunition, and somebody went and told the outlaw bunch all about it. \u201cBoys,\u201d he told <\/span><b>Dolf <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and some others, &#8220;You better mind what you&#8217;re doing now for they sure got the guns and the Governor said for them to kill every one of you fellers and he would pardon them for it.&#8221; Well, that friendly warning did more good than anything else could have done.

J. Combs<br \/>\n<\/b><b>General Elijah Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was the first settler of Hazard. He came to Kentucky from North Carolina sometime previous to 1798, for his first child, <\/span><b>Jesse<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was born in that year. It is not known how long the family had been here before that time. This region was then a wilderness of forest and canebrakes thickly populated with all sorts of wild game. The first day <\/span><b>General Lije<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> occupied his new log cabin, which was built on the hill back of the Court House near Little Boulevard, he killed a wild turkey on the corner of the house and the next morning shot a deer from his doorway. There were buffalo roaming around in these mountains, too, at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has not been decided for certain whether General Elijah Combs served in the Revolutionary War or in the War of 1812. But he took part in one or the other and there gained his rank. If records could be found giving his age this point would be cleared up for if he was old enough to have been in the Revolution he would have been too old for the War of 1812. He was one of seven brothers who came to Kentucky about the same time and settled in various places between Carr Creek and Lexington. All of these pioneer Combs&#8217; were Whigs except one of the seven brothers who was a Tory and was called<strong> \u201cOld Danger.\u201d<\/strong> The Democratic Combs&#8217; appear to have descended from &#8220;Old Danger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perry County was originally a part of Fayette, later it was included in Clay. It was a part of Clay County in 1810 when\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030f.jpg] <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 7, Column 3<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;General Lige made his first land survey and this old survey is now on the record book in Manchester. Perry County was created in 1820 and both it and its county seat were named for <\/span><b>Oliver Hazard Perry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the famous young commander who met the British on Lake Erie and sent to Congress the historic message, \u201cWe have met the enemy and they are ours.&#8221; It would be interesting to know who suggested these names for the county and town. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps it was Gen. Lige himself for he was a soldier and would naturally have been fired with enthusiasm over this great victory and would have had the desire to immortalize [the] hero. He probably served as first jailer for he made a trip to Irvine to have a lock made for the jail. It was a great cumbrous lock weighing 50 pounds and the key was a fit match in size, almost half as long as a man&#8217;s arm. W. J. Combs says he remembers the key well. The Jailer then received the munificent sum of $12.50 for his services and the County Judge the same.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Jesse Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the oldest son of Gen. Lige was the first county clerk and held that office continuously for 53 years. Part of this time he served as circuit clerk also. This is a unique record and one of which his descendants should be proud. It proves him to have been a man who stood high in the estimation of all who knew him. It is likely that he was personally acquainted with most all of the voters, for in those days the voting was all done at Hazard and two or three days was given over to it. An election must have been a picturesque and vastly interesting event. After the death of Jesse Combs in 1874 his grandson, <\/span><b>Ira J. Davidson<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, succeeded to the office and held it for 18 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(The above sketch was given by W. J. Combs of Hazard who is a great-grandson of Gen. Lige. Another article will appear later after he has looked over some of his family records. In the next issue of this magazine, G. W.

HURST CLIMBED THE LADDER<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Says <\/span><b>Dr. Taylor Hurst<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, &#8220;I never see a peddler of any kind but what I feel like buying everything he has to sell. In explanation, Dr. Hurst added that when he was a youth he followed that arduous calling himself. He was raised on a farm and carried farm produce to Jackson for sale, thereby acquiring experiences which soften his heart toward vendors of such wares today. It would not do to tell the public how many gallons of berries he has bought this summer for it might lead to a raid on his jam [pantry?]. The Doctor evidently acquired a taste for the good things which were produced on the farm and especially in the kitchen. A taste which, added to the kindness of his heart, makes prosperous business for the berry vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this article is not a dissertation upon the fruit or vegetables raised on the farm. These are important enough but it is the boy and girl that are of first importance. They are the truly first fruits of the farm home. All else that is produced there is but supplementary \u2014 is but the means by which the boy and girl may be fed, clothed and educated and sent out into the world to happy and successful careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of Dr. Hurst&#8217;s strenuous and persistent endeavors to secure an education should encourage those who do not have royal road open before them. It also demonstrates the fact that adult education is altogether practical\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in this day and time. This fact is one that needs to be impressed more and more on the people today, and educators are attempting to do this by means of Folk schools Opportunity schools, and College Extension Work. Whenever any organization ceases to grow it immediately begins to decay. This is true of the human mind as well as of anything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason so much of our educational work is considered wasted is because those who have acquired it in their youth allow it to lie fallow in their mature years and not continue their mental training. Every educated man or woman should take an occasional course from some college or other institution just for the sake of keeping educationally fit. Dr. Hurst declares he is going to take a college course and those who&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030h.jpg] <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 9, Column 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;know him best know that when he makes up his mind to do a thing he generally does it. He finished his high school work only last year graduating from the Hazard High and thus finishing what he began many years ago. He entered a normal school at Jackson at the age of fifteen and two years later passed the teachers examination making the highest grade in the county, a general average of 96 percent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He taught school for thirteen years and then decided to take a business course. He worked five years as bookkeeper and then when many other would have settled down contentedly into the well-worn rut, he deliberately stepped out into a new career. He went to Louisville and entered the medical school there taking high school work along with the course in medicine. In two years he made fifteen high school credits and graduated highest in a class of 187 medical students. In the examination, he answered 169 questions out of 170. Needless to say, he worked during those two years. He more than worked. He toiled. But that is what makes success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now he says he is going to continue his education by taking at least two years of college.

The boys [e]vinced a lofty disdain at the mention of such magazines as this and someone named <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ace High<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a counter-irritant. The masculine element of the class brought their average up, however, by claiming <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World&#8217;s Work<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular Mechanics<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hindman Seniors are a splendid class, bright, witty and bubbling over with the high spirit and enthusiasm of youth.

His nephew, <\/span><b>\u201cBlinky\u201d Shade Combs,\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shot and killed him and calmly occupied his property. This happened at the close of the Civil War when the country was very unsettled and nothing seems to have been done with the murderer. But here is one of those striking instances of retribution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a lapse of fifty years, vengeance that sometimes sleeps but never dies, overtook the murderer and he was shot in the same house by a man by the name of <\/span><b>Tom Smith <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who confessed the deed on the gallows. <\/span><b>Preached<\/b><em> (sic)<\/em><b> Tom Kelly <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who had been by when Jerry was killed, happened, by a singular coincidence, to be on the spot just a few minutes after &#8220;Blinky&#8221; Shade met his death and he said that the two bullets struck the same place in the bodies and ranged the same way in both instances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Jack Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Anderson&#8217;s father lived a way from Yellow Creek for several years after his marriage but moved back about 52 years ago when Anderson was a small boy near the age of eight years. He says he remembers that he carried the broom when the family moved and his younger brother, <\/span><b>Billey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, carried the shovel. Riley <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(sic)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now lives on Red Oak where the old schoolhouse stood when the young Combs&#8217; received their first instruction in the a, b, c\u2019s. No schoolhouse was built on Yellow Creek until after the coming of the coal companies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Andy Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of Grandfather Jerry&#8217;s sons, built a log house where Anderson&#8217;s house stands now and planted the two big Pippin apple trees that still stand in the yard and throw their cool shade across the doorway after sixty years have come and gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked about the wild game in his early days, Mr. Combs replied that deer were more plentiful when he was a child than squirrels are now but that the coming of a better make of guns caused them to be rapidly killed off, so that by the time he was grown they were practically all gone. He remembers his father\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030j.jpg]\u00a0<\/b>Page 10, Column 3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;taking deer&#8217;s hams to Hazard to sell. Bears were scarce at that time. His father killed one on Red Oak. Wild turkey he says were never very plentiful on Yellow Creek.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few weeks ago at the Lothair lot sale, Mr. Combs bought some lots on Cedar Point, taking in the site of the old house where his wife&#8217;s great-grandmother was born. She too was a Combs and descended from one of the original brothers who came to this country and settled in the last decade of the eighteenth century. The great-grandmother was named <\/span><b>Lydia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and she had a sister <\/span><b>Matilda<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who was the mother of <\/span><b>Jerry Combs on<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Troublesome. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lydia&#8217;s two sons, <\/span><b>Felix <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Sam,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> built the unique Tunnel Mill near Dwarf which is still in existence. Yellow Creek is believed to have got its name from the numerous sulphur springs which give the water a yellowish tinge. It is about four miles long counting from the head of Bubbie Branch and had valuable mineral deposits which have been developed in the last ten years. It also has valuable timber, though much of this has been removed. <\/span><b>Alvin Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> told the writer that his father, <\/span><b>Andy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, at\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030k.jpg] <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 11, Column 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;one time sold 800 acres of land with coal and gas rights and a heavy stand of yellow poplar for $800 and thought he was getting a big price for it. It is interesting to speculate on how much it would be worth now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three coal companies doing business on Yellow Creek at present. The Knott Company, Perkins-Bowling, and Wisconsin. The Knott and Wisconsin mines were opened at almost the same time about ten years ago. Wisconsin shipped its first gon[dola?] of coal in July and Knott made its first shipment in September. Since that time a continual stream of that black but useful mineral has flowed steadily out of the hollow to the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until three years after the mines were opened the children were obliged to attend school at Red Oak. At that time schoolhouses were built at the Knott and Wisconsin camps. The coal companies cooperate with the county in maintaining the schools and at present, there are five teachers employed. Two at Knott, <\/span><b>Kanawha Slone <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Cornie Combs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and three at Wisconsin, <strong>Mr. and<\/strong>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>[local_hist_album_030j.jpg]\u00a0<\/b>Page 11, Column 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;<\/span><b>Mrs. Broadus <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Miss Hibbs.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mr. Broadus is giving first-year high school work in addition to the grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several new buildings have been built during the last two years.
