James B. Eustis

James Biddle Eustis (August 27, 1834 – September 9, 1899) was a United States Senator from Louisiana.

Born in New Orleans, he was the son of George Eustis (1796–1858) and Clarice Allain. His father was a lawyer who served as a Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. James pursued classical studies, graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1854, was admitted to the bar in 1856 and commenced practice in New Orleans. He served as judge advocate during the Civil War in the Confederate Army and resumed the practice of law in New Orleans.

He was again a member of the State house of representatives in 1872, and was a member of the Louisiana Senate from 1874 to 1878.

Eustis was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy in the term commencing March 4, 1873, caused by the action of the Senate in declining to seat rival claimants William L. McMillen and P. B. S. Pinchback. Eustis served from January 12, 1876 to March 4, 1879; he was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection, and was professor of civil law at the Tulane University Law School from 1877 to 1884, then called the University of Louisiana.

Jesse Tannehill

Jesse Niles Tannehill (July 14, 1874 – September 22, 1956) was a dead-ball era left-handed pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Highlanders, Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Senators. Tannehill was among the best pitchers of his era and was one of the best-hitting pitchers of all time. In fact, Tannehill was such a good hitter that he was used in the outfield 87 times in his career.

Tannehill was born July 14, 1874 in Dayton, Kentucky. He broke into the National League at the age of 19 with the Cincinnati Reds; however, he struggled in 29 innings and did not reappear in the major leagues until three years later. After a partial season with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1897, Tannehill in 1898, set a career high in both innings pitched 326​2⁄3 and wins (25). Tannehill had several good years with the Pirates until his career year in 1901, when he led the National League in ERA at 2.18. Tannehill posted a even better ERA in 1902 at 1.95 but as the league ERA had dropped even more precipitously, he did not lead the National League in ERA.

After six years with the Pirates of the National League, Tannehill got involved in a salary dispute with Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss. As a result, Tannehill jumped to the startup American League franchise the New York Highlanders. After the season, he was traded by the Highlanders to the Boston Americans for Tom L. Hughes. Tannehill still had some good years left, however he was a important part of the Boston Americans championship team of 1904. Tannehill pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox on August 17, 1904 (his brother Lee went 0-3 for Chicago) and continued to be an above average pitcher until 1907. After this however, Tannehill went into precipitous decline, as he was traded to the Washington Senators for Case Patten. Tannehill retired from baseball in 1911, with a career ERA of 2.79 and 197 career wins.

After retiring as a player, Tannehill managed the Portsmouth Truckers of the Virginia League in 1914. He then served as an umpire in the Ohio State League, International League, and Western League, before returning to the majors as a coach for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1920, a stint that lasted one season. In 1923 he managed the Topeka Kaws in the Southwestern League.

In his last years, Tannehill worked in a Cincinnati machine shop and was a frequent visitor to Crosley Field, the home of the Cincinnati Reds from 1912 to 1970. He died of a stroke at Speers Hospital in Dayton, Campbell County, Kentucky on September 22, 1956. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate, Campbell County. His brother, Lee Tannehill, was also a professional baseball player.

Hunter's Horn

Arnow writes about Kentucky in the way that William Faulkner writes about Mississippi, or that Flannery O'Connor writes about Georgia, or that Willa Cather writes about Nebraska -- with studied realism, with landscapes and characters that take on mythic proportions, with humor, and with memorable and remarkable attention to details of the human heart that motivate literature.

He rigged his pontoon boat to explode with dynamite and placed scraps of clothing around the area to make it appear as if he'd blown up. After a duration of time passed, he simply showed back up at his doorstep.

Fallis was murdered during a craps game on the corner of Clinton Street and Gashouse Alley in 1829. He was initially buried in Frankfort Cemetery but was later moved to Sunset Memorial Gardens to be interred next to his wife after her death in 1970.

John Lair

John Lair (July 1, 1894 - November 12, 1985) was a musician and radio DJ.

Lair was born July 1, 1894 in Livingston, Kentucky.

He served in the US Army during World War I as a Sergeant.

He founded the Renfro Valley Barn Dance in 1937 in Dayton, Ohio at the Memorial Auditorium. In 1939 he moved it to Renfro Valley, hosting acts such as Red Foley, Homer and Jethro, Coon Creek Girls, Slim Miller, Old Joe Clark and many others started their careers on the old barn stage.

On the grounds he put in cabins, restaurant with southern home-style meals, souvenir shop, candy kitchen and country store. Many skeptical locals said the barn would have tobacco hanging from its rafters within a month.

The barn could comfortably hold about 800 people. Some weekends thousands would flock to the small valley. The two scheduled shows on a Saturday night could not accommodate all who came. John Lair was not the type of man to turn folks away; sometimes the shows went all night. That was amazing when you consider there were no interstates, and very few hotels. People came from all over. It was not unusual to see more cars from Michigan than from Kentucky.

John Lair did not just want people coming to the valley; he also wanted to bring the valley to the people. Radio always played an important part. In the early days of Renfro, John Lair had his shows broadcast on national radio every day of the week. The programs were the only shows to come directly from a real community and presented mostly by actual residents of that community. There was no regular broadcasting studios. All shows were performed at the barn, old log schoolhouse and the Lodge (restaurant). On special occasions they would even broadcast from deep inside the Saltpeter Cave located a few miles outside of the valley.

In the mid-fifties, Pillsbury Flour sponsored a television show on CBS, "John Lair's Renfro Valley Folks." That was followed in the sixties by the movie, "John Lair's Renfro Valley Barndance." Today, over two hundred radio stations broadcast the Renfro Valley Gatherin', recorded in the valley.

Lair died at the age of 91 on November 12, 1985 in Lexington, Kentucky. He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Mount Vernon, Kentucky.

In 2002, he was elected as a part of the first class of Kentucky Music Hall of Fame inductees.

He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1854 and practiced in Owingsville, Kentucky, and later engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was acting marshal of Kentucky during the administration of President Franklin Pierce.

Young was elected judge of the quarterly court of Bath County in 1858 and served four years. Young was again elected in 1866 and served until 1867 when he resigned having been elected to Congress. He presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Fortieth Congress in 1867, but was not permitted to qualify as his campaign used fraud and voter intimidation to get him elected. A Congressional inquiry found that hundreds of ex-rebel soldiers, disqualified for treason against the State of Kentucky, fraudulently voted. This was enough to overturn his victory and hand the seat to Samuel McKee. Evidence of voter intimidation by ex-rebel guerrillas and other pro-slavery elements was collected as well. Partisan Young gunmen watched polling precincts across Eastern Kentucky to make sure not a single black man voted in the Ninth District and intimidate Republican voters in general.

Young was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-third Congress (March 4, 1873 – March 3, 1875). He was not a candidate for renomination in 1874. He resumed agricultural pursuits. State railroad commissioner of Kentucky 1884-1889. He again served as judge of the quarterly court of Bath County 1890-1895. He died in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, December 26, 1910. He was interred in Machpelah Cemetery.

In-laws and Outlaws

In-Laws and Outlaws is a novel written by Barbara Paul. It was first published in 1990.

## Description

Veteran mystery writer Paul ( The Renewable Virgin ) here crafts an absorbing, suitably horrific mystery that centers around the wealthy and influential Decker clan, a politically powerful and much-publicized Boston family experiencing a nightmare: someone is out to get them. When Gillian Clifford Decker, widow of Stuart Decker, reads that Stuart's father, Raymond, has been killed in a fire, she ignores a longstanding estrangement and hurries to Boston to comfort Raymond's widow, Connie.

Fearful and indecisive, Connie is sure of a conspiracy: within the last four months, two of her teenage nephews and one niece have died in suspicious and particularly gruesome accidents; four years earlier, Connie and Raymond's son Theo had been kidnapped and murdered in a grisly and sensational case. Gillian, invited to the family enclave on Martha's Vineyard, gradually feels that she is being involved in an elaborate charade. But to what purpose?

Astute readers may spot the key to this intense story early enough to find the finale unduly melodramatic--but the tale is nonetheless a potent mix of deception, manipulation and murder.

Hug Dancing

Hug Dancing is a novel written by Shelby Hearon. It was first published in 1991.

## Description

With wit and feeling Shelby Hearon takes us into the life and world of Cile Tait, age thirty-nine, of Waco, Texas. A woman of charm and integrity, she summons up the courage to burn her bridges and defect from her marriage to the Grace Presbyterian Church's minister, only to be stunned by the complete lack of flame, smoke or hubbub of any kind that follows.

Here is an inner-directed, sensuous, self-liberated woman impelled to make a place for herself in a society where church-centered propriety (embodied in her preacher-husband, whose constricting bed and board she leaves) mingles with country-style macho (in the person of Andy, her long-lost high school sweetheart and hug-dancing partner, who resurfaces and reclaims her)... and with the eternal Dallas dash (Andy's bandbox-stylish wife). It is a new world where superconducting supercolliders, threatening famlands, have brought into the area a global mix of superscientists (including the beautiful Korean who may be moving toward the marriage Cile has vacated), where the rumble of money appears to underlie almost every mysterious action and where Cile's two daughters, young Amazons with a passion to save the world from exological disaster, are already charting their own independent courses.

Yet the more things change, the more they are destined to repeat the past. So it goes in Shelby Hearon's wickedly observant novel, whose convolutions, through three months from Wind Day to Earth Day, trace the amazing course of true love a la 1990s.
