The more pressing question than how we honor Evelyn West is this: What if Mr. Spreen had made his "Shot Seen 'Round the World" from downtown Elroy?

That might have been, you know.

In the spring of 1900, following a Great Confugality in Cumberland County, the Educational Committee of the Methodist Evangelical Church, South, Louisville Conference, withdrew its offer to build the new school there. Reported the May 15, 1900 News, "The committee will now make an effort to secure donations from Elroy, Adair county, with a view of locating a school at that place."Oh, but for the vagaries of chance! - Jim
