Wonders about spelling of Grear/Greer in North Carolina people Comments re article 52254 JIM The surnames of 19021910 influx of North Carolina People Adair Co KY Dana Greer Harmon writes: I am wondering about the spelling of George H. And Alewy Grear in the Casey Creek precinct. I believe my Grandfather, Charles Wesley Greer, told me that his ancestors settled in the Knifley area from North Carolina. My great grandparents were Benjamin and Maggie Osborn Greer, but that's about as far back as I know. Could the surname have been misspelled in the census records? On another note; was the Chapel Cemetery behind the Knifley Christian Church named after the Chapels mentioned in this census? Very interesting information. --Dana Greer HarmonThanks, Dana Greer Harmon, for the questions. We hope readers will have the answers. I'm anxious to know, myself. -EW 2012-05-31 17:57:40 | Comments | Printable version

Fred Troutmans remarks at Memorial service Fred Troutman had it right; Chris Hayes did not, until he apologized Roger D Smith DMD writes: Ed, After reading Mr. Fred Troutman's speech I found it especially rude that MSNBC's Chris Hayes made his remarks on television questioning the use of "Hero" as it applies to fallen servicemen and women. It is truly sad that many of our young people are not educated in the sacrifices that many in our very community and in this great country have suffered to allow this "commentator" the right to speak as he did.Comments above re: Remarks of Fred Troutman at VFW Memorial Day 2012 Service 2012-05-31 05:00:23 | Comments | Printable version
