Do these faces belong to someone in your family? 2017-07-21 - Green and Metcalfe Counties, KY - Photo from an old scrapbook inherited and shared by Betty Church. These photos, along with many others in several albums, have lost their keepers. Betty Church, Gary Lane and I hope to reconnect them to the family members most closely related. They were passed along my way because I share the name Marcum, they were in the Sam Marcum family originally. From time to time I'll share and hope the right folks are checking Columbiamagazine.com and passing on to others who might know names and where the family spread out to from northern Metcalfe County, Sulphur Well, KY. Meanwhile, please add the names to every old photo in your possession and to every one you post to the internet, so that a hundred years from now someone who is not feeling very connected can point to a photo and say, "I belong to them!" -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
