Audrey Salyers Dotson Debbie Salyers Nash I think I have a bunch of pictures I took of that church.

Debbie Salyers Nash I just love looking at these old pictures, just knowing Mom & Dad and other family members lived there .

Donna Prince Serafine Debbie Salyers Nash and Audrey Salyers Dotson, wouldn't it be nice to see (providing it still existed) the homes of your mom and my grandfather..i always wondered about the house daddy lived in w/his mom and dad before the shooting and grandma and grampa prince's house as that is where daddy and uncle raymond lived for several years before going to Ashland.

Patricia McCoy The last time I was there, the old Bays store had collapsed. Webbville used to have a high school-my oldest brother graduated from there, 2 grocery stores, Bays and Ralph Woods family. It had a hotel-it was the end (I think) of the Blue Goose railway. I remember the stores, but everything else was before my time.😏 I went to school (3rd to 8th grades) at Webbville Elementary. It was a new school, consolidated from one room schools. Now it is a church, I believe. Haven't been there for a few years.

Bob Velsie Hewlett My Aunt Nannie Leah and Hubert Bays operated this store for many years. Fond memories.

Patricia McCoy I remember both of them.

Patricia McCoy I'm so sorry-I didn't realize that. Do you want me to delete?

Marlitta Perkins You're fine, Patricia. No issues with you at all. I have contacted Janice Tomes. Depending on what she'll do, the post is ok for now. :-)

Patricia McCoy Marlitta Perkins Thank you. I'm from Belle's trace and remember all of these places.

Marlitta Perkins And so much has disappeared over the years, too, Patricia. My family lived in the Webbville area, around about Needmore. Feels like home to me even though I've never lived there.

Brenda Bond Jeff H Dixon thought you’d enjoy this link.

Dwight Collins We lived on East Fork so we'd cut over Cherokee..been to that store several times.

Duchess Martin Those first two pictures look like places I remember from my childhood visiting my grandparents in Richardson KY.

My uncle was the postmaster at Richardson until he passed in 1977.

Lois McElwain Hmmm... four of these photographs belong to Marlitta Perkins, yet I see no recognition on link for Janice Tomes - If Kentucky is a Part of You page. I wonder why that happened.

Duchess Martin That's being addressed according to Marlita above.

Marlitta Perkins Well, Duchess...Janice Tomes has ignored my request to give proper credit or delete the post, if she wasn't willing to do this. Instead, she has blocked me from seeing this post and also banned me from her "If Kentucky is a Part of You" page. I'm exploring my legal options now. Taking photographs without permission by the owner and posting them without proper credit, even though after being made aware, is theft!
