"This Kentucky scrapbook is all from Carroll County.
My Mom took all these articles from a Carroll County news paper - most pertain
to people who lived at Locust in Carroll County or Carrollton itself. 
Mom had all these pages in her original scrapbook.
 They are Carroll County history. Please use them. Roslyn"

The best way to search these pages is to use your "find" function located in Edit on your toolbar.

This is, sadly, the final page of the scrapbook.  The remainder are
poems by local and other people, movie news, Lindberg baby, and Dionne
Quints, and all kinds of quilt patterns and odds ends.  I hope someone has
received some information they can put to use and enjoyed reading as much as
I have enjoyed rereading and typing them.  Roslyn

Local Woman Drowns in cistern Tuesday Noon:
Another shocking tragedy gripped the hearts of Carrollton people when the
news was flashed over the city Tuesday about noon that Mrs. Uffie Henry had
taken her life by jumping into an abandoned cistern on the Beetem lot in the
rear of her home on Sycamore street.

For some time Mrs. Henry had been under the Dr.'s care, suffering from nervous
break-down and for several weeks her sister-in-law, Mrs. Paul Coghill of
Dixon, Il had been caring for her.

About 11:00 she told Mrs. Coghill that she was going to meet Mr. Henry but
instead went to the cistern, removed the cover and plunged in.  In about
five minutes Mr. Henry came home and on learning that she had started out to
meet him, began looking for her and noticing the disturbed condition about
the cistern, looked in, horrified to find his wife's body floating on the
water.

His screams brought a number to the scene.  Ben L. Simonton who was painting
the Women's club house adjoining the Henry home, put his ladder in the
cistern and with the help of Jack Way and others brought the body up.

Dr. allen Donaldson was called and applied restorative measures, but to no
avail, due to the fact that the body had been in the water about 15 minutes.

Mrs. Henry whose maiden name was Maurice Hancock, was born Aug 8, 1898. a
daughter of the late John and Lula Webster Hancock of Trimble Co.

Of her marriage to Mr. Henry three children were born - Ella Jean, Doris,
and Uffie, Jr., the eldest ten years old.

Mrs. Henry is also survived by one sister, miss Ollie Mae Hancock who is
under hospital treatment in Madison after surgery three weeks ago.  Mr. and
Mrs. Henry spent Monday with her.

Last rites are being held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Christian
Church, Rev. M. L. Brown of the Pilgram Holiness Church conducting the
service.  Interment will be in Odd Fellows cemetery.

Pallbearers are Messrs. Herbert, James and William Hancock, Walton Banks,
Wilbur Ford and James Thompson.

Flower bearers were Misses Louise Hancock, Mary H. Wilson, Anna K. Hancock,
Flora M. Henry and Mary Alice Carlisle and Mrs. Wilbur Ford.
