Letter: Agrees with Donna Rieder Mike Bell writes: I agree completely with Donna Rieder concerning the Squires Cemetery. It is a shame that our local government would so readily react to what has not even been requested by anyone as yet. Why is there such a rush to move that cemetery when as yet no one, or so it seems, has requested that the city do so. I am ashamed of our leaders going to such lengths for money, no matter how much they or anyone else claims we need it.Comments re: Letter: Squire Cemetery 2023-04-25 16:29:30 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Letter: Squires Cemetery Comments re: Squires Cemetery on the move to new home By Darryl Smith The headstone in the Bobby Morrison photo op belongs to Molly Squires Harmon. She was born December 2, 1862 in Columbia and died June 22, 1888 in Louisville. Fortunately the grave location has been documented and photographed since it is in danger of being destroyed for "progress". Maybe the board can find descendants that will give permission to relocate the graves, but how do they propose finding/moving the unmarked graves in the cemetery (there are at least 2)? Pretend that they aren't there? I see this turning into a typical "dig up a shovelful of dirt, throw it in a box, rebury it and call it good" desecration operation that most government cemetery "relocations" devolve into (here's looking at you, Army Corps of Engineers).

Letter: Cemetery Relocation Annita Dial writes: As a genealogist I study and respect the lives of people gone on before us. I work diligently to help preserve family histories thru stone cleaning and recorded documentation. Just yesterday I had a lady sign an application for membership into the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). One of the very ancestors on that application was descended from a SQUIRES. Perhaps the people in this cemetery are of some relation to her.Comments re: Squires Cemetery on the move to new home 2023-04-25 14:54:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Support youth leadership programs on KY Gives Day From Sharon Dodson Why should you support The Center for Rural Development's youth programs on Kentucky Gives Day, May 9, 2023? Just ask Scotty Reams, PharmD, oncology specialty pharmacist at Baptist Health Corbin, and a 2012 graduate of the Rogers Scholars program.

Donors can rest assured 100 percent of their contributions will support the future leaders of Southern and Eastern Kentucky," he said.

Letter: Squires Cemetery Donna Rieder writes: It is my opinion that moving the Squires Cemetery "residents" is nothing short of sacrilege. To those who were laid to rest there, it was meant to be their final resting place, NOT a temporary resting place until it was inconvenient for later generations, ESPECIALLY for the sake of money and profit. Shame on those who even consider disturbing that which is sacred ground. If a cemetery is cause for some to decline to do business there, then so be it.Comments re: Squires Cemetery on the move to new home 2023-04-25 13:43:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
