Anyone from Kentucky?

12 years ago

I'm attempting to read a Civil War death record. The place of death is at a Kentucky general hospital. The best I can do for a name is "Feb" and then maybe an "a" and then what could be "ss or nn or rr" or maybe just a single of one of those letters. He died there in 1862.

Anyone have an idea of what the name is?

Yes my husband is from Kentucky and he does do genealogy but he had no clue what the hospital might be or where. Sorry.

Hi Doris, I am very interested in the Kentucky Coffee Tree. I have known for three years exactly where I wanted to put them. And this is my year to start trees! I'm just coming off a Hoover incident myself. I'll check your list in the morning. Thanks, Seedmama

Anyone growing a kentucky wonder?
Q

There is no 'Kentucky Wonder'. Please do a google search for Ty TY, or go to gardenwatchdog.com to read more about this very disreputable nursery. I know someone in Bowling Green, KY that ordered one and it grew just fine, but never came back this year despite heavy mulching. Sorry to see you already ordered one. Next time, do some research on the company you are ordering from.

We have grown Blue Lake bush beans for three years now. Love them. Since I took over major gardening responsibility two years ago, on recommendations I read here, I decided to plant some pole beans. I could not find Blue Lake pole beans, so I planted Kentucky Blue. Not as good, did not produce any longer into summer than Blue Lake bush beans did. If I can't find Blue Lake pole beans next year, will only grow Blue Lake bush.

University Hospital in Louisville was previously known as General Hospital until the UofL took it over. Perhaps that might help in your search.

I have no idea. From your "spelling" I was wondering if the word was some abbreviation or misspelling of the word "Federal".

I didn't find anything I though could be it at that hospital list. The tall letter doesn't look like it could be Federal. Here's a chunk of the page. Henry C. Holycross is the last entry at the bottom.

Well, that didn't work out like I planned! Go here https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VRQC-SH8 and then click on view document. Holycross, Henry C. is the 7th one down.

I have no experience with this, but it looks to me like it could be "died.....of disease at Genl Hospl at Lebanon, Ky"

Doing a bit of detective work on that assumption, it's possible. Thanks.
