Miscellaneous

	We have some undated flood pictures given to us by Mrs. Betty Ruggles, of Marengo, Ohio. After a great deal of searching we have concluded that these are scenes from the 1937 flood near the forks of Lexington Avenue and Shelton Drive.
	Many of you will remember the old store building that once stood on the site of the present day parking lot beside the Christian Baptist Church. The advertisement for "Spur Cola" will undoubtedly evoke memories in some of you, since it disappeared from the market decades ago. This old store building was dismantled several years ago. We do not know the name of the man wading through the water in front of the store. After intense scrutiny we were able to read the words on the sign some distance in front of the truck. It says: Standard Oil Products. The service station building at that spot is still standing, but closed, and was last operated by Ernest Lee. (1937 Flood?)
	The house with water up on the porch is still standing and the address is 512 Lexington Avenue. The reflection in the water creates an optical illusion. (1937 Flood?)
	This 1910 vintage postcard states that it is a "Three mile Panorama of Vanceburg, Ky. (Looking West)".
	Simon Kenton historical marker in Mason County.
	This old post card says: Hauling gas pipe in Lewis County, Vanceburg, Ky. There is no date on the post card but the first pipe line in the county was laid in the very early 1900s, so that is probably the time period of this card. Printed on the back of the card is: Kraemer Art Co. Cincinnati, Berlin. Printed in Germany. (Courtesy of Mrs. Fonda Griffith)
	One of the photos of the 1937 flood in Vanceburg, taken by Mr. W.A. "Gus" Voiers. Mr. Voiers published them and put them into a booklet, one of the originals now being shown at the Depot Museum.

	The huge sycamore tree which grew from a switch punched into the ground at the Barkley home place. (William Florence)
	Matthew Howland's initials carved into the sidewalk where he fell dead in front of his home in Quincy. (October 24, 2000, Jim Shelton)
	WATCH YOUR STEP . . . This piece of Lewis County history was recently rediscovered after Herald staff members found an item in the "Snooping with Stamper Stevenson" column in the August 3, 1950, issue of The Lewis County Herald, alluding to its existence. Although cracked and worn, the concrete step still shows the date "1950" in the center and initials and names of those associated with the Herald at that time. The step was spared when the alley behind the Herald office was repaved recently. (August 1, 2000, Dennis Brown)
