Vignette from Christine, KY: Pete McQueary PHOTO By Jason Harmon I'm sending a photo of Merchant/Farmer/Amateur Dentist and fierce Gunslinger, Mr. Pete McQueary of Burton Ridge fame. The photo show him with gun in beltin about 1913, with his wife Maudie Burton-McQueary, son, Elvin McQueary and daughter Delie McQueary. Pete famously kept his store in the Christine Community for about 50 years. The photo came to me via Greg Burton who is the great grandson of Pete and Maudie McQueary. Pete was a jack of all trades. He even dabbled into Denistry. If you couldn't afford Pete's tooth extraction prices he was even nice enough to let you borrow his dental instruments and you or a friend could try it yourself. I doubt this practice would fair very well at our local store. Jason Harmon is scheduled to be at Bearwallow Cemetery on Memorial Day Weekend 2008 for informal walks through the cemetery telling stories and giving history to some fortunate enough to be along. There's no strict schedule, no hard and fast assurance he'll even be here, but apt as not he will. We plan to be there. -Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com This story was posted on 2008-04-29 04:58:06
