Notes:

Below, stories passed down to me, David J. Schimka, from my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle.

Katherine's parents owned land and slaves. When their children were grown they were given some land and a number of horses. During the Civil War, Union and Confederate soldiers would stop at their home to take flour and exchange their tired horses for fresh ones.

Kate outlived her daughter Maude. After Robert died, she tried to live at her home but wasn't able to. She then lived with her daughter Maude and finally with her daughter Cora after Maude died. She died in Ludlow, Kenton County, Kentucky while she was living with Cora. Maude lived until 1933 so Kate's death date is during or after 1933. I don't know when or where Cora died.

Name:
Nancy seems to have gone by her middle name for most of her life and in particular, by her nickname, Kate, which is how my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, referred to her when he first told me about his family in Kentucky. Kate was his grandmother and he knew her personally when he was a child.

Notes:

Emmett Thompson was the census enumerator in his community in 1900. His signature on each page appears to have a trailing "e" to his first name and his cemetery marker also has an "e" so it would appear that his correct name, or the spelling he used, was Emmette.

Name:
In 1880 he was listed on the census as William. In 1900 he was going by Emmett or Emmette and his cemetery marker gives his name as Emmette J Thompson.

There is a Social Security number that was issued to Cora M Bates whodied in Daviess County, Kentucky on 12 October 1959 at the age of 83. Subtract the age from the death date and you get 1876. Could this be the correct date of death for Cora Thompson-Bates? At some time in the 1950s or so, Cora lived in Tampa, FL and was visted by her nephew, Howard Francis Boyle and his children.

Notes:

My grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, once told me this story:
Maude had a large dark birthmark on her elbow. Maude's mother, Kate Skinner, was pregnant when she saw a drunken black women at a saloon. Kate, would tell Maude that she got the birthmark from the drunk woman.

Miscellaneous:
During another of her husband's absences, Maude wrote to the government pension board explaining that John had left her at home with their five children as he had done on many previous occasions and taken all the money with him. By this time Maude seemed to be quite desperate to provide a means of support for her children and was contemplating divorce. She asked the government about obtaining a portion of John's pension and whether she would still be entitled if they were no longer married.

Notes:

Below are some brief stories my grandfather told me of growing up around Hinton, Kentucky.

When Howard was growing up, there were no theaters in the area, no radiosand the television had not yet been invented. For entertainment, people would walk to the homes of friends and relatives to play Rook, Checkers, and Dominoes. On Saturdays everyone would go to Hinton, KY to socialize. Some of the boys would connect one end of a wire to the coils of the Ford Automobiles and the other end to any metal part on another car. When someone got into the second car, they would get a shock. His Parents bought thier first car in 1929, a 1925 Model T Ford. They also bought a radio around the same time, an Atwater Kent, in Williamstown, Kentucky. Howard remembers listening to Jack Dempsy fights over the radio. After World War II, some saloons bought TV's and people would come in and watch while they had a drink. Howard graduated from Renaker High School which was located outside of Cynthiana, KY. His High School Prom was held in the Masonic Lodge in Corinth, KY.

Howard and Della where married and divorced twice. The first marriage took place in 1936 and the second in 1949. Some time after the 1949 divorce, Howard and Della's four daughters, who were being cared for in a private home by a third party, were turned over and became Wards of the Court. The private home was in Park Hills which is in Kenton County, Kentucky. The girls were then sent to an orphanage called The Covington Protestant Children's Home for six years. The orphanage was founded in 1882 and still exists today under the name, Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. Howard married Ruby Jean Barkeloo in 1953 and eventually they were able to gain custody of the girls at which time they were adopted by Jean, as everyone called her.
