lowing list includes AZ men and'46
women, some of them of great
prominence in their day.
In the list issthe first wife of Chas.
S. Morehead. afterwards governor
of Kentucky. AS the beautiful Miss
Amanda Leavy, of Lexington, KY.
she came to Hopkinsville the bride
of the rising young attorney, but
lived but a few years. Her grave
is covered by a box tomb, which has
fallen down.
Also in the list is Hon. Robt. P.
Henry, a congressman from this dis
trict; Bartholomew Wood, Hopkins
ville's original settler; Francis M.
Dallam, whose defendants now live
in Louisville and Henderson; Eph-
RAIN Cock, the miller VINO owned
Cocks mill, which gave the name to
the road now called Cox's mill road.
All of these pioneers deserved a bet
ter fate than to have their graves
forgotten and allowed to be covered
by bramble patches.
The city has undertaken to re-
claim this wilderness by popular sub
scriptions. Committees have been
appointed of officials and ladies,
