Of Life When Town
Was Young.
MEMORIES RECALLED.
Pretty Girls Whose Graves
Are Uncared For In
Pioneer Graveyard.

In the early days of Hopkinsville.
so or 80 years ago, the growing
Young town was noted as much for
the beauty of its girls as is the Hop
kinsville of to-day. Every once in a
while, popular society girl, or
young schoolgirl just budding into
womanhood, would pass away and
procession of sorrowful friends and
~bereaved relatives would wind their
way to the little graveyard on the
river bank and the last funeral hymn
would be sung beside the open grave.
Many such graves are now uncared
for in the old graveyard. 1t would
be a beautiful tribute if the girls of
u present day would raise by a
Bbular subscription fund sufficient
to place a special tablet to the mem
DRY of the girls who were buried in
the pioneer graveyard nearly hum
dred years ago, when the monument
is erected next year. There are
enough school girls in Hopkinsville
to raise nice sum for this purpose
by giving only 10 cents each. Below
will be found list Of some of these
forgotten girls. whose graves can
still be identified. No doubt some
of our very old citizens can recall
some Of them, whose names are
strangely unfamiliar at this time.
