Russell Compton and Cora Belle Compton Hyden

2024-03-17 - Edmonton, KY - Photo courtesy Leslie (Stacye) Lindsay

Leslie Lindsay, a writer with ties to Adair Co., shares this old photo, given to her by her father, that she thinks dates to the 1930s. The photo was taken at the home of either Bert or Russell:

Left: (Lee) Russell Compton b. 1896
Middle: Cora Bell Compton Hyden (moved to Springfield, MO in 1920)
Right: Unknown; believed to be (Henry) Burton "Bert" Compton, b.1903 (son of Louvenia Carp Coomer Compton and George H. Compton).

Leslie writes, "If you happen to have a guess on the dates or locations of these photos, please let me know. I plan to be in Adair County April 8-10 for additional research, and perhaps to find the (remains) of any homes where my ancestors may have resided." Comments | Permalink

Scenic Kentucky: Foggy morning in Shelbyville

2024-03-17 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen

A foggy spring morning on the Sixth Street plaza in downtown Shelbyville. You can see a somewhat CGI-modified version of Sixth Street in the trailer for upcoming movie Wildcat, starring Laura Linney, Maya Hawke, and Philip Ettinger, which was partly filmed in Kentucky in winter 2023.
