However, the contemporary holiday is founded in a movement by West Virginia's Anna Jarvis, who continued her mother's efforts.<br /><br />The first successful efforts came in 1908, through national promotion. After 4 years of success, Jarvis declared a stable "date" of the "second Sunday in May" for Mother's Day (Note: the punctuation is VERY important - possessive of the singular!). She initially intended the holiday to be commercial. But, ultimately, resented its overcommercialization - even being thrown in jail, 1948, for protesting the very day she founded!<br /><br />White flowers are worn, or given, to honor mothers. Most notably carnations. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwtzyoZhsMLAFcQCMW4LUkDiXsPrxuk5gfDs1orMMXbIi6ZV_EoNNK0eYlweMQuovJjX6Li5i6aJjcd_4wH-_tehMLuGPuqHF-4LDOidnDRtrR9JuRbVBc7vT0dH5puq4Kg_hYsYb2D6k/s1600/mtn_advocate_0506_1910_mothersday.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwtzyoZhsMLAFcQCMW4LUkDiXsPrxuk5gfDs1orMMXbIi6ZV_EoNNK0eYlweMQuovJjX6Li5i6aJjcd_4wH-_tehMLuGPuqHF-4LDOidnDRtrR9JuRbVBc7vT0dH5puq4Kg_hYsYb2D6k/s400/mtn_advocate_0506_1910_mothersday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468240191525870082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8fh5bX6r8VrNTMIkD_rcRiAfBSEESlTWcttm4XmlbTy6R0iPu02CgyjTDmXju1ZookItpeWd5El4quZD8tUOh2nu1Km_Ahmh692xw2nK3Nl4K1EyvkSpeUusWPXw6LMou3PVBs76nAvp/s1600/bourbon_news_0507_1909_mothersday.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8fh5bX6r8VrNTMIkD_rcRiAfBSEESlTWcttm4XmlbTy6R0iPu02CgyjTDmXju1ZookItpeWd5El4quZD8tUOh2nu1Km_Ahmh692xw2nK3Nl4K1EyvkSpeUusWPXw6LMou3PVBs76nAvp/s400/bourbon_news_0507_1909_mothersday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468240115100858594" border="0" /></a>Apparently, according to these articles from the <a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=kynews;cc=kynews;q1=Bourbon%20News;rgn=works;idno=bn1909050701;didno=bn1909050701;view=pdf;seq=5"><span style="font-style: italic;">Bourbon News</span></a> &amp; <a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=monnews;cc=monnews;q1=Mountain%20Advocate;rgn=works;idno=mon1910050601;didno=mon1910050601;view=pdf;seq=3"><span style="font-style: italic;">Mountain Advocate</span></a>, it doesn't REALLY matter; the flowers can be snowdrops, as long as they are white.

When they came down with pneumonia (traced to the missing dietary supplement of dog) and threatened to strike, St. Louis authorities offered them all the stray dogs they could ever want.

At sixteen, he took his first newspaper job as an apprentice reporter with the <span style="font-style: italic;">Paducah Evening News</span> to help support the family, and he never looked back!<br /><br />As his career progressed, Cobb became well-known as an editor, reporter, columnist, and humorist in papers all over the state and nation. He hob-nobbed with the best of them through the years: politicians, actors and actresses, writers, and so on. But he never forgot his home state and seemingly retained a sense of morality. Early on (1900), he married Laura Spencer Baker - a marriage that lasted a lifetime.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMp-Po3T4rqKf60-m0IFm_scYVAoMQruxtvaaQ1BBPU9i7-XD8q3oz8eq5p6na7GhmYOAkTo0BYwiuoNRTtL1qzqPJyXDrs89ZUdm5a94ssI-xgzIyO94uHlxVA0ha7hLkTGCx2LsjYkV/s1600-h/hopkinsville_kyian_0417_1900_cobb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 153px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMp-Po3T4rqKf60-m0IFm_scYVAoMQruxtvaaQ1BBPU9i7-XD8q3oz8eq5p6na7GhmYOAkTo0BYwiuoNRTtL1qzqPJyXDrs89ZUdm5a94ssI-xgzIyO94uHlxVA0ha7hLkTGCx2LsjYkV/s400/hopkinsville_kyian_0417_1900_cobb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447040155040016434" border="0" /></a><center><a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=hopnews;cc=hopnews;q1=Hopkinsville%20Kentuckian;rgn=works;idno=hop1900041701;didno=hop1900041701;view=pdf;seq=5"><i>Hopkinsville Kentuckian</i>, 17 April 1900, p 5</a></center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3612xEyR67-G5Yh2pCO9Je3SGE2PoVGVlAFWuTWLs0KecDcXREPo4GmEkzmJ4s0ClS_D9CO5PW_-KLcf1DnSPlMZJo9ibpd1JxBMWGUkHHKq7GTtaJOblKusWxfhzdNPKdwoO13vur2Y/s1600-h/earlington_bee_0111_1900_cobb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 108px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3612xEyR67-G5Yh2pCO9Je3SGE2PoVGVlAFWuTWLs0KecDcXREPo4GmEkzmJ4s0ClS_D9CO5PW_-KLcf1DnSPlMZJo9ibpd1JxBMWGUkHHKq7GTtaJOblKusWxfhzdNPKdwoO13vur2Y/s400/earlington_bee_0111_1900_cobb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447040824867035970" border="0" /></a>Cobb was a larger-than-life figure. One of his early columns, as paraphrased here in the <a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=beenews;cc=beenews;q1=Bee;rgn=works;idno=bee1900011101;didno=bee1900011101;view=pdf;seq=7">1900 <span style="font-style: italic;">Earlington Bee</span></a>, humorously commented on "Fads of Kentucky Statesmen." It included observations on Goebel, who would be assassinated only weeks later! Cobb went on to report in Europe in World War I. He saw the potential in film, and sold several scripts to Hollywood, not to mention appearing in a few or hosting the 1935 Academy Awards! But that was only the beginning.<br /><br />Politics was not far from Cobb's thoughts. He vehemently wrote about and fought for what he believed in, including African-American rights and composing anti-Prohibition press releases.<br /><br />In the first half of the twentieth century, Cobb was easily one of the most recognizable (and quotable!) American celebrities directly connected to Kentucky. He died on March 10, 1944, and now rests in Paducah, quite appropriately under a tombstone reading "Back Home."</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/feeds/714664647172117853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/03/rip-duke-of-paducah.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/714664647172117853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/714664647172117853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/03/rip-duke-of-paducah.html' title='RIP "Duke of Paducah"'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMp-Po3T4rqKf60-m0IFm_scYVAoMQruxtvaaQ1BBPU9i7-XD8q3oz8eq5p6na7GhmYOAkTo0BYwiuoNRTtL1qzqPJyXDrs89ZUdm5a94ssI-xgzIyO94uHlxVA0ha7hLkTGCx2LsjYkV/s72-c/hopkinsville_kyian_0417_1900_cobb.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241050656318803888.post-4444917669721922816</id><published>2010-02-17T11:08:00.016-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T11:41:21.861-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="advice"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Clay City Times"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="economy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="holidays"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="opinion"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="politics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="weather"/><title type='text'>Signs of the Times - Part 1</title><content type='html'>It probably goes without saying that most, if not all of us are familiar with the basic layout of a contemporary newspaper. We know what to expect on any given day from any given section or page. The same could be said 100 years ago, even though many publications were significantly shorter (perhaps only the front and back of a single sheet of paper!).<br /><br />What was included differed somewhat from today's publications a little too. Local papers had local news - but it might be a bit more intimate, especially in rural areas, where everyone knew everybody's business! Ads were not necessarily as vivid, and bylines (the author's name) may or may not exist on every article.<br /><br />A seemingly popular trend were unattributed columns and snippets throughout publications that delivered news and commentary in a quick shot - one or two sentences. They might include anything from:<br /><br /><center>health and weather, to current events.</center><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomSQDHvIJLCXD5CHwM1FR1BFTvoiHJyxwIZjSSI9I6Z_tcNMoRZKJUFOjEt1aWKA_QEZyL3YF7zCyP7ProSuN2wcm1X5V8tqyl8u3XLa6tNF8dDX1XtAR-idZ8vhTsWQQC87bnSKnTzir/s1600-h/claycity_times_0217_1910_local_brevity_health.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

But who was the killer? This remains one of the unsolved mystery's in the Commonwealth's past.<br /><br />Goebel was born to German immigrants in 1856 Pennsylvania. The family moved to Covington after his father returned from the Civil War. William went on to law school and an on-again, off-again practice with eventual US Senator John Carlisle. But he also had quite the hand in political wheelings &amp; dealings at the end of the 19th century, including through the state Senate.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVgn6zUSlvS3eToOaK7d7BOSnBLh9HN4sBHaAUvA10_wV3px36A4RLOwvcL7JgoBBz12Gn6fBWwpMZa_HgfNCVTilGNR-VXF8tfixL3n-dzY8dCVMeZIgL_ACXRwUDSw17Bm8sP9yzRo5/s1600-h/semi_weekly_interior_journal_0206_1900_goebel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 477px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVgn6zUSlvS3eToOaK7d7BOSnBLh9HN4sBHaAUvA10_wV3px36A4RLOwvcL7JgoBBz12Gn6fBWwpMZa_HgfNCVTilGNR-VXF8tfixL3n-dzY8dCVMeZIgL_ACXRwUDSw17Bm8sP9yzRo5/s400/semi_weekly_interior_journal_0206_1900_goebel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434043866542674754" border="0" /></a><br />When Kentuckians were in an uproar about toll roads &amp; turnpikes, Goebel successfully campaigned to remove tolls. He was a delegate in the 1890-91 Constitutional Convention. He advocated to further civil rights for women and African-Americans. Possibly one of his most notable measures is the Goebel election law, which gave power to a 3-member Board of Election Commissioners to appoint county election commissioners, as opposed to the previous system, which he felt had been unjust.<br /><br />But Goebel was no angel! Many were opposed to his methods, and believed he sought only to raise his own political power. Goebel even broke Kentucky Constitutional law when he fought an 1895 duel against John Sanford (Goebel won, killing Sanford, but was acquitted of charges). His gubernatorial election was also tainted with scandal. Although he won, accusations flew regarding corruption &amp; stuffing of ballot boxes. The General Assembly ultimately decided Goebel had fairly won on January 30 - the same day he was shot.<br /><br />As Goebel walked to the Capitol in Frankfort, an assassin shot him with a rifle (accounts claim it was likely from a window next door). He lay dying for nearly 5 days, until he passed on February 3rd. Before that, however, the GA had him sworn in as KY Governor on January 31, 1900. Sixteen men were accused of conspiracy in his murder; 5 went to trial; 3 were convicted; all maintained their innocence throughout!<br /><br />To this day, no solid answer has been offered as to "Who killed Goebel?" He remains the only state governor killed while in office, even though he was technically shot before even being sworn in, and remained "Governor" on his death bed, for only a few short days.<br /><a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=semnews;cc=semnews;q1=Interior%20Journal;rgn=works;idno=sem1900020601;didno=sem1900020601;view=pdf;seq=1"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Semi-Weekly Interior Journal</span>. 6 February 1900. p 1.</a></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/feeds/8375094351094346533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/02/goebel.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/8375094351094346533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/8375094351094346533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/02/goebel.html' title='Goebel!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVgn6zUSlvS3eToOaK7d7BOSnBLh9HN4sBHaAUvA10_wV3px36A4RLOwvcL7JgoBBz12Gn6fBWwpMZa_HgfNCVTilGNR-VXF8tfixL3n-dzY8dCVMeZIgL_ACXRwUDSw17Bm8sP9yzRo5/s72-c/semi_weekly_interior_journal_0206_1900_goebel.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241050656318803888.post-4349651078378055084</id><published>2010-02-02T11:20:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-02T11:44:28.912-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="animals"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="folklore"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Groundhog Day"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="holiday"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Paducah Evening Sun"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="weather"/><title type='text'>Only the Shadow Knows...</title><content type='html'><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicC_w8ksH3FDrd4Aj1Z1tT-wXqWsw5McAnGU9SqnDQQUs69uYEvU1fLlX_5vEBTSI2SuCpaLPeNIfElrG_cFs23_6kaEvfUOW6BgO-BB7yzjZxVzmDZqEXaHsxPF7Dx2T5AMt3GsZYOAlm/s1600-h/paducah_sun_0202_1910_groundhog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 508px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicC_w8ksH3FDrd4Aj1Z1tT-wXqWsw5McAnGU9SqnDQQUs69uYEvU1fLlX_5vEBTSI2SuCpaLPeNIfElrG_cFs23_6kaEvfUOW6BgO-BB7yzjZxVzmDZqEXaHsxPF7Dx2T5AMt3GsZYOAlm/s400/paducah_sun_0202_1910_groundhog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433686198564886546" border="0" /></a><br />A long-standing tradition, today marks Groundhog Day! People rush to Gobbler's Knob, in Pennsylvania, to learn from Punxsutawney Phil whether or not winter will sustain another 6 weeks. He and his shadow have been forecasting the weather for Americans since 1887, in secret, and then publicly since 1966. But there's much more to this tradition than many of us realize or even consider!<br /><br />With debatable origins, this yearly celebration traces its roots further back than the last 125 years or so to the European Candlemas Day (also celebrated today). A poem regarding the holiday reads "If Candlemas be fair and bright,/May Winter have another flight." Hence, the shadow knows all!<br /><br />Speaking of lights, Phil is not the only forecaster! Canada has their very own famous groundhog - Wiarton Willie! Similarly, there are other groundhogs around the US that share Phil's spotlight, at least to some extent - and other animals too! Texas has Bee Cave Bob, an armadillo, to forecast their spring every February 2nd, or "Armadillo Day." Just last year, Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, declared Feb. 2 "Marmot Day;" but there were no forecasting duties assigned.<br /><br />Over the years, even Kentucky has shared in Groundhog Day festivities, as you can see in these <a href="http://kdl.kyvl.org/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=pacnews;cc=pacnews;q1=Paducah%20sun;rgn=works;idno=pac1910020201;didno=pac1910020201;view=pdf;seq=1">1910 <span style="font-style: italic;">Paducah Evening Sun</span> articles</a>. Though not official, Captain Mason Smith adopted a groundhog, dug a burrow for him the previous October (for hibernation, of course), and brought him out to predict the weather. It paid off - the unnamed adoptee's shadow predicted Spring! And then there's the Dickson, TN club who ran around all day searching out groundhog burrows and digging them up just to offer a weather report that evening! So which method is better?<br /><br />Oh, and as for this year's prediction? Nothing from Bee Cave Bob or Wiarton Billie as of yet, but Punxsutawney Phil is calling for 6 more weeks of winter. And the shadow always knows... (or at least he does 39% of the time, according to the National Climatic Data Center)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/feeds/4349651078378055084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/02/only-shadow-knows.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/4349651078378055084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4241050656318803888/posts/default/4349651078378055084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kyndnp.blogspot.com/2010/02/only-shadow-knows.html' title='Only the Shadow Knows...'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicC_w8ksH3FDrd4Aj1Z1tT-wXqWsw5McAnGU9SqnDQQUs69uYEvU1fLlX_5vEBTSI2SuCpaLPeNIfElrG_cFs23_6kaEvfUOW6BgO-BB7yzjZxVzmDZqEXaHsxPF7Dx2T5AMt3GsZYOAlm/s72-c/paducah_sun_0202_1910_groundhog.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241050656318803888.post-5705692384373248356</id><published>2010-02-01T10:50:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T11:14:42.932-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Adair County News"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="advertisement"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chewing gum"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Interior Journal"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="inventor"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pioneer"/><title type='text'>Something to Chew On</title><content type='html'>Many quintessential American foods &amp; treats have their roots, or at least some links to the state of Kentucky, whether its well-known, acknowledged, or not. This includes chewing gum, believe it or not!<br /><br />Pharmacist John Colgan, born in Louisville, in 1840, went through the public school system there, and to college in Somerset, OH. He returned to Louisville and opened a drug store at the corner of 1oth &amp; Walnut Streets. While Colgan didn't INVENT chewing gum (in fact, some form has arguably been around since Greek civilization, if not longer), he had a strong hand in developing its popularity.<br /><br />Legend has it he saw children peeling the bark off trees &amp; chewing on it, so he ordered the main ingredient for chewing gum (again, this product already existed in the US), which is from a South American tree, and improved upon the existing product by sweetening it with powdered sugar. This resulted in a sticky substance he called "Colgan's Taffy Tolu Chewing Gum." Fortunately, the ingredients &amp; manufacturing process remained "pure" enough that they were not affected by the 1906 Pure Food &amp; Drug Act.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2UOsaRMKRcFWzhpHNYx64cWy7rbM9wTDoW0M50WbwxYruVDwoelANQoFuCENLeAigVTbi46Dsv0UczUvNpW8XxtBsTyLPGkDndP0XC_zddYDVCewO0VN1enHpsObG9RsSTLqLBXoYxJcm/s1600-h/interior_journal_0611_1907_taffytolu_PFDA_ad.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2UOsaRMKRcFWzhpHNYx64cWy7rbM9wTDoW0M50WbwxYruVDwoelANQoFuCENLeAigVTbi46Dsv0UczUvNpW8XxtBsTyLPGkDndP0XC_zddYDVCewO0VN1enHpsObG9RsSTLqLBXoYxJcm/s400/interior_journal_0611_1907_taffytolu_PFDA_ad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433307758477034002" border="0" /></a><br />He sold his drugstore, went into business with James A.

Fee (1816-1901)</title><content type='html'>Even before the Civil War, there were those who dared dream of a world where African-Americans and whites (and even men and women) might learn together in the same classroom. Reverend John Gregg Fee, the co-founder of Berea College, was one of these men.<br /><br />Born in Bracken County, KY, in September 1816 to slaveholders, he dedicated his life to fighting against the institution in print &amp; in his preaching. This attracted the attention of well-known KY emancipationist Cassius M. Clay. In the late 1850s, Clay put up the land &amp; money for a coed, integrated mission school in Berea. Due to harrassment, this was not to be, at least prior to the Civil War. Fee did not stand still. He formed a missionary at Camp Nelson, a haven for African-American refugees during the war.<br /><br />Ultimately, Fee &amp; Clay parted ways, but Fee carried on the dream. Berea College lived on - and still lives on. Though Fee died (today, in 1901) before the 1904 Day Laws &amp; never saw national integration of schools, his progressive school continues to survive, supporting the dreams of students from throughout Appalachia.<br /><br />Berea's <span style="font-style: italic;">Citizen</span> published an elaborate obituary for him a few days after his death.

His mother was the daughter of Rev. Barton W. Stone, who helped spark the Great Revival with the Cane Ridge Revival and co-founded the Christian Church, the Disciples of Christ, &amp; the Church of Christ only a decade or two earlier. After attending Transylvania University, and graduating from West Virginia's Bethany College in 1858, Moore was ordained into his grandfather's church by 1864. But not for long!<br /><br /><center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndebE8op1nX4Ass5FWhkmg_BogThSxUBW4AekEunmmRX_Af4Eq6dRA6VsGLAJJgt9VTJhKU-p9VtDrD8zK0amF-kXJcsLFbdef6KRX724Kn89F7SmLfXoPVhqJN7tZBX-cRYRfOCKCoqh/s1600-h/bluegrass_blade_1886_title.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; width: 598px; height: 43px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndebE8op1nX4Ass5FWhkmg_BogThSxUBW4AekEunmmRX_Af4Eq6dRA6VsGLAJJgt9VTJhKU-p9VtDrD8zK0amF-kXJcsLFbdef6KRX724Kn89F7SmLfXoPVhqJN7tZBX-cRYRfOCKCoqh/s400/bluegrass_blade_1886_title.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417739126858578994" border="0" /></a></center>After a short time as a pastor in Versailles, Moore resigned his pastorate to work in a series of newspapers. Eventually he founded his own in 1884. This was the nationally-known &amp; quite controversial <span style="font-style: italic;">Blue-grass Blade</span> (that's right - the paper turns 125 this year!). Though sporadically published for assorted reasons (not the least of which were financial &amp; legal), the <span style="font-style: italic;">Blade</span> vigorously challenged contemporary religious views, particularly Christianity &amp; the Bible. Editorial contributions championed social causes of the day, including women's suffrage &amp; prohibition. Moore's personal contributions also argued for agnosticism and, it is sometimes argued, atheism. He is even considered by some as the "Father of American Atheism."<br /><br />Moore's antagonistic writings led not only to turbulent publishing runs, but also a turbulent life. He dealt with assassination attempts &amp; even imprisonment for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Blue-Grass Blade</span> in 1899. More specifically, for mailing obscene materials. He only served 6 months after President William McKinley pardoned him. This time did not stop his writing. Instead, it led to an autobigraphy. Even his death on February 7, 1906 (he subdued to an illness rather than another human) did not stop the controversy he began in life!
