I have created a Facebook page of 1950s Owen County servicemen photos and  news from the News-Herald.  The address is www.Facebook/owenmilitaryphotos-1950s or you can type in the Facebook browser these words:  Owen County, KY Servicemen photos - 1950s.
I have been pleased to hear recently from several old Owenton friends and classmates.  My email address is:  owen58wolfe63@yahoo.com

Last week, our conscientious son-in-law was late to work for the second time in 20 years. This was because of a wreck on Interstate 24 near Nashville, Tenn.
It turned out that one lady had a flat tire on that interstate. Her 13-year-old boy was with her. He, being a Boy Scout, got out to change the tire.
A second lady came speeding past.
Unfortunately, the second lady was allegedly under thee influence. The influence drove her to run into the 13-year-old scout at the side of the road.
He died before anyone could save his life at the hospital.

   I am William Ford Threlkeld, the proud father of John Brent Threlkeld. My son is seeking to serve as our next circuit judge in the 15th judicial circuit that includes Carroll, Grant and Owen counties.
I opened my law practice in 1949 and I retired in 2010. I practiced law in front of many judges you may have known - Ward Yager, Jim Ford, Charles Satterwhite and our current judge Stephen Bates - as well as countless other state and federal judges.

I would like to thank Tammy Bishop, Charlie Ellis and Carrol Ellis for their service to help the people of Owen County who are going to doctor appointments or the hospital.
Their Christian love and kindness and prayers are awesome.
They go above and beyond to help others.
I feel so blessed and I’m very thankful to all who are involved in this service. They are always on time and Tammy always calls the night before to remind you!
May we keep them in our prayers and thoughts and may God bless you.
