Kentucky: 1904; Farmers Deposit Bank, Middleburg, Casey County, Kentucky |
|
Let us look at the statement of the First Stockholders Meeting of the Farmers Deposit Bank |
|
held at Middleburg on December 17, 1904. . . . The officers and directors at that time are |
|
shown as E. J. Godbey, President; C. L. Pruitt, Vice President; D. A. Thomas, Cashier. |
|
Directors: H. H. McAninch, J.K. Coffey, Silas Wesley, Dr. J. T. Wesley, W. H. McClure, |
|
J. F. Gadberry. W. T. Earles, C. L. Pruitt, and Lincoln Wells. |
|
H. H. McAninch – Here is his picture in our book of time, with a background of widespreading |
|
farmlands and livestock, a well-kept farm and a good home, so Mr. Al Land describes it. |
|
As Master Commissioner Mr. Land helped settle the McAninch estate, and he tells us the lands |
|
he sold amounted to somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty or seventy thousand dollars. |
|
In looking back to those days he recalls that Howe McAninch had a trotter, a bay filly, he entered |
|
more than once in the races at the Liberty fair. Mattie McAninch, she was called; Mr. Land |
|
remembers her well and smiles as if it were a fond memory – those days of the Liberty fair when |
|
he too had a trotter he entered in competition with Mattie McAninch. It seems that Os Bowman |
|
was connected with these memories; perhaps he was the trainer or drove Mattie McAninch. |
|
In the early days of the bank, Clell McAninch arrived at the post office in Middleburg, and a |
|
few minutes later the one in Yosemite, on his daily run, carrying the mail from McKinney to |
|
Dunnville, in his two-or-three seated conveyance pulled by horses. There was room for mail |
|
sacks, passengers who might come in on the train at McKinney, and room for their luggage. |

“My Old Kentucky Home”, the Kentucky State Song, words and music by Stephen C. Foster |
|
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, / 'Tis summer, the people are gay; |
||
|
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, / While the birds make music all the day. |
||
|
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, / All merry, all happy and bright; |
||
|
By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door, / Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. |
||
|
|
Chorus: Weep no more my lady / Oh! weep no more today! |
|
|
|
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away. |
|
|
They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, / On meadow, the hill and the shore, |
||
|
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, / On the bench by the old cabin door. |
||
|
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, / With sorrow, where all was delight, |
||
|
The time has come when the people have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. / Chorus |
||
|
The head must bow and the back will have to bend, / Wherever the people may go; |
||
|
A few more days, and the trouble all will end, / In the field where the sugar-canes grow; |
||
|
A few more days for to tote the weary load, / No matter, 'twill never be light; |
||
|
A few more days till we totter on the road, / Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. / Chorus |
||
