St. Francis of Assisi Church, St. Francis, Kentucky

This is the view of St. Francis of Assisi Church as seen from the vicinity of the grave of Debbie Gardner, long-time employee of the Marion County PVA Office. Debbie was so special to so many people...I still miss her sense of humor and that laugh of hers!

I'll bet if she were here today she would be very excited that her friend Karen Spalding is now running for the office she occupied so faithfully for so many years.

Carter - Beale Cemetery - Raywick, KY

The stone wall to the left shows one of our county's oldest cemeteries in reference to the old homestead. We visited this cemetery when the house was being torn down; it's likely it is not there anymore. The home was in recent years the old home place of PVA William U. Scott, and is located off Frogg Lane in Raywick.

Stephen examines one of the grave stones inside the enclosure - that of Washington Beale.

This cemetery is in pretty good shape. If only all our old Marion County cemeteries were in this good condition...

Tatum-Seaward Cemetery - What a Shame...

Irene Staten brought the following pictures to me. She said they are of the Tatum-Seaward Cemetery on Tatum Lane.

She is upset at the condition of this small cemetery, not only because the tombstones have fallen over, but because cattle are

allowed to roam over the graves. Some of the photos show where someone has put hay out for feed over the graves. 

Living Quarters for Lebanon's Homeless Population

I know that Peckerwood and several others spent some time under this building behind Pickerill's....

Some may like to think we don't have any problem with homelessness in our little town...

... but we do.
