EVERETTE D. ALFORD OF FLORENCE, MANAGER, SUNDAY SCHOOL DIRECTOR

 

            Everette D. Alford of Florence was known as “Mr. Sunday School” for his efforts to enhance Sunday School classes in churches throughout Northern Kentucky.

            He began his work as a Sunday School director at the First Baptist Church in Covington - a position he held for nine years. He eventually served as Sunday School director for the Northern Kentucky Baptist Association for 25 years. The association consists of 66 churches, said his wife, Ann Frazier Alford.

            Mr. Alford, who lost a battle with cancer, lived to see his granddaughter, Jennifer, graduate from Boone County High School, his wife said.

            “He looked forward to her graduation,” Mrs. Alford said. “He hung on until that was over.”

            Mr. Alford worked as a plant manager for 34 years at Queen City Paper Co., Cincinnati. He originally started as an assistant manager at the company, his wife said. The company grew during Mr. Alford ‘s tenure as manager.

            “He started out with two men and worked up to 15 or 16,” his wife said. “He liked the work. He always said he was a working manager.”

            Other survivors include a daughter, Shirley Lunsford of Florence; brothers, Norman Alford and Ralph Alford, both of Zebulon, N. C., Fred Alford and Ray Alford, both of Wendell, N.

            Florence Laeng, 100, died Friday[July 15] at The Meadows East. She was the former Florence Alford and a member of West Broadway Baptist Church.

            Survivors: a son, Louis C. Laeng Jr.; two grandchildren; and four great- grandchildren. Funeral: 11 a.m. Monday, Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road. Burial: Cave Hill Cemetery....

 

AAFA NOTES: SSDI records show that Florence Laeng (SS# issued in KY) was born 1 Sept 1893, last residence Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY.

            Florence Alford was born in Louisville, KY, the daughter of Henry Ruby Alford and Mary Mackey (Jan 9, 1858–Nov 20, 1932) who married Feb 10 1879, Jefferson Co. KY. Henry Ruby Alford was born June 28, 1857, supposedly in Stanford, Lincoln Co. KY. He died Feb. 10, 1905, in Jefferson Co. and is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery there. Florence married Louis C. Laeng, Sept. 30, 1915, Jefferson Co.

            She was enumerated with her family in Jefferson County, KY in 1910 and 1900, with her mother as the head of the family. In 1880 Mary’s husband, Henry Alford (listed as born 1858 in KY), is with the family. In 1870 the only prospect we see for Henry is living with the Edd Taylor family while he is attending school. More help is needed to determine to which Lincoln County family Henry belongs. Several of them seem to have gone to Louisville in the 1860–1870 timeframe, probably to find work during or after the Civil War.

            Mary Mackey had a twin sister who was married as Alice Mackey. The name on Mary’s marriage certificate was Macklin. Her death certificate says her parents were Frank McMackin and Anna Quinn (born in Ireland according to her brother’s death cert., born in KY according to hers—Florence gave info when Mary died; their father? Patrick Mackey gave info when her brother died. The question is whether or not Frank McMackin and Patrick Mackey are the same individual).

Wreck injuries claim life of Ludlow man

By Craig Garretson, Post staff reporter

 

            One of 10 people injured in a two-car collision in Boone County, Ky., on Tuesday has died.

            Jeremy Alford, 21, of Ludlow, died Friday at University Hospital in Cincinnati. He was critically injured when the car he was riding in collided head-on with a minivan Tuesday at 4:28 p.m. The car was trying to pass a tractor-trailer truck in a no-passing zone on U.S. 42 near Rice Pike outside Union.

            The driver of the car, Jimmy Good, 21, of Florence, is in the Boone County Jail after receiving treatment at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He’s charged with nine counts of assault in the second degree and one count of wanton endangerment, with bail set at $100,000 cash, said Lt. Jack Banks of the Boone County Sheriff’s Department.

            Banks said Sunday that charges might be upgraded against Good today because of Alford’s death.

            Alford was a meat handler with Bluegrass Provisions in Crescent Springs. His wife, 18-year-old Cinnamon Alford, and three-month-old daughter, Savannah Alford, also were injured in the wreck; Savannah has been released from Children’s Hospital, but Mrs. Alford was in serious condition at University Hospital Sunday night, according to nursing supervisors.

            By Sunday, the other six people injured in the crash had been released from area hospitals….

Florence man indicted in fatal head-on crash

By Paul A. Long, Post staff reporter

 

            A Boone County grand jury has indicted a Florence man, saying he is responsible for killing a man and injuring eight others in a massive head-on collision last month.

            The driver, Jimmy D. Good, 21, faces charges of manslaughter, assault and wanton endangerment as the result of the wreck, which required three helicopters and six ambulances to transport the injured. It shut down U.S. 42 between Frogtown Road and Ridge Road for about two hours.

            Three days after the July 17 accident, Jeremy Alford, 21, of Ludlow, died at University Hospital in Cincinnati.

            The second-degree manslaughter charge relates to Alford’s death. Good was also indicted on eight counts of second-degree assault and one count of wanton endangerment.

            Each of the manslaughter and assault charges carries a prison term of five to 10 years. Wanton endangerment is punishable by one to five years in prison.

            The indictment says Good caused the wreck when he tried to pass a garbage truck in a no-passing zone ‘‘where oncoming traffic was not visible’’ on the two-lane portion of U.S. 42 near Rice Pike in Union.

            Both cars appeared to be traveling at or near the speed limit, police said.

            Police said Good’s 1986 Pontiac Grand Am, traveling west, collided head-on with an eastbound 1992 Plymouth Colt Vista minivan. Alford was a passenger in Good’s car.

            Five people were flown by helicopter to local hospitals; another five were taken by ambulance. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life device to cut through the wreckage to extricate the passengers, freeing all 10 in less than an hour.

Fatal wreck sends driver to jail

Judge: No mistake but criminal act

By Paul A. Long, Post staff reporter

 

            Pamela Augur held a few shards of glass in her hand as she stood before Boone Circuit Judge Jay Bamberger.

            The glass—from the car in which her son, Jeremy Alford, was killed—is shattered just like the life of her family, she told the judge….

            Tuesday, the man who admitted that he caused that wreck that killed Alford was sentenced to a year in prison. As part of a plea agreement, Jimmy D. Good also was put on probation for five years.

            “It’s not an accident,’’ Bamberger told Good of the wreck. “If it was an accident, you wouldn’t be here. It’s criminal conduct.’’

            Good, 23, of Florence—who is Alford’s brother-in-law—previously pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless homicide, five counts of felony assault, three counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of wanton endangerment.

            Good was the driver of a car that passed a garbage truck in a no-passing zone on a two-lane portion of U.S. 42 near Rice Pike in Union….

            Boone Commonwealth Attorney Linda Tally Smith said the agreement was worked out because evidence showed neither speeding nor alcohol was involved in the crash.

He retired from Green Coal Co. as general superintendent of mines following 42 years of service. He owned a farm in Panther which ultimately became the back-9 of Panther Creek golf course. An active member of Century Christian Church, he enjoyed religious music.

            For several years Mr. Alford was active with Habitat for Humanity, being involved with the construction of a number of Habitat houses and the sponsor of one. A 60-year Mason, he was a member and Past Master of Monsarrat Lodge Number 379 at Panther. Mr. Alford was a Kentucky Colonel.

ORVILLE E. ALFORD

 

KENTUCKY POST

Covington, Kenton Co., KY—Saturday, 3 November 1990

 

ORVILLE E. ALFORD, FORMER MELBOURNE COUNCILMAN

 

            When Orville E. Alford retired as a truck driver in 1973, he never considered embarking on a leisurely life of golf and fishing.

            Instead, he began a career of community service.

            After his retirement, Alford served as Melbourne police chief for several years and as a city commissioner for 11 years.

            “He loved the jobs and serving his community here,” said Alford’s wife, Vera.

            Heart trouble forced Alford to resign from the city commission in October. Mrs. Alford believes her husband literally lost heart when he gave up his life of public service.

            Alford died of a heart attack Friday [November 2] at his home. He was 79.

            “I think that brought a lot of this on,” said Mrs. Alford. “I think he was sorry that he gave up the position of a councilman.”

            Alford, a native of Campbell County, was a truck driver for five years for New York Central of Cincinnati. He worked as a mechanic for the company the next 15 years.

            Alford drove a truck for the Miller Express Co. of Cincinnati for eight years, before retiring in 1973.

            In the mid-70s, he served as police chief.

            “He was too good a policeman to do any harm to his community,” Mrs. Alford said. “He would take people home that maybe were drunk or things like that instead of writing a ticket.

            “Everybody liked it when he was police chief. He was out every night, seven nights a week.”

            Alford first was elected to the city commission in 1979. His responsibilities as a commissioner included his areas of expertise: the police and maintenance departments.

            “He was active as far as doing things for the city,” said Mayor Maurice P. “Dutch” Hehman Jr. “He put a lot of time in he was not paid for.

            “He would help cut weeds and do everything - whatever was asked of him.”

            “He was a very well-liked man in his community,” Mrs. Alford said. “That just about puts it all into one.”

            Alford was a member of Carthage Council No. 95 of Junior Order United American Mechanics.

            Other survivors include a daughter, Maida Brossart of Melbourne, and a granddaughter, Stephanie Brossart of Melbourne.

            Services will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Alexandria Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. The Junior Order United American Mechanics will conduct services at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Alexandria Cemetery.
