ALEX ALFORD, B. ?, KILLED OCT. 25, 1895
HOPKINS CO., KY
LOCOMOTIVE BLASTS
A fatal accident occurred near Henderson last Friday, a young man by the name of Alex Alford, who was in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Company, who, for the past few months have been rebuilding the telegraph line along the L.&N. between Henderson and Guthrie, while in the act of climbing a pole and when near the top fell to the ground, a distance of about twenty feet, breaking his spine at a point near the neck. He only lived about one day after the accident occurred.
He was a resident of Columbia, Tenn., where his remains were shipped for interment last Sunday.
Out of a crew of fifteen men, Mr. Alford was regarded as the best climber, and his friends are at a loss to know how he came to slip and fall from so short a pole.

DEATH OF ALECK H. ALFORD
At half-past 11 o’clock last night Mr. Aleck H. Alford, the young gentleman who was among the injured at the tragic accident of Floyd’s Fork on the Short-line, died at the residence of his aunt, Mrs. Wm. Johnson, No. 932 Franklin street.

ALEXANDER ALFORD
INURNED WITH IMPRESSIVE KNIGHT TEMPLAR CEREMONIES AT CAVE HILL CEMETERY YESTERDAY
The last victim of the Short-line railroad calamity—Alexander H. Alford—after lingering nearly two months in great agony, relieved by opiates and sustained by the heroic spirit of dawning manhood, at last succumbed to the grim visitor. Death.
The Knights Templar and a large concourse of his friends assembled at the Christian church, at Floyd and Chestnut streets, yesterday afternoon to pay “the last sad tribute of respect” to all that was earthly of young Alexander Humboldt Alford.
An escort of sixteen Knight of Louisville Commandery was detailed by Eminent Commander Sir John H. Leathers to accompany the remains from the house of mourning to the church. Meanwhile the Commandery proper, to the number of fifty Sir Knights, awaited the arrival of the funeral cortege in the vicinage, at Chestnut and Floyd streets….
SERVICES AT THE GRAVE
The floral offering attracted everybody—his youth, our clime, his unsullied character, a Mason, only son, brother, Templar, all. The florists deserve credit. All designs that could be thought of were represented, and if a flowery tribute could compensate or assuage his poor mother’s grief, Humboldt’s friends tried to allay that loss to his mother and loving sisters….

Lexington, Fayette Co., KY—2 October 1913
Mrs. Mary E. Boone, Elizabeth Cawby and J.W. Alford, heirs of Mrs. Alice McMee, filed suit in the Fayette Circuit Court yesterday against William McMee and Dr. David A. Crosby, asking the court to cancel a deed by which Mrs. McMee and her husband, William McMee, conveyed a tract of land … to Dr. Crosby and the deed by which Dr. Crosby conveyed the same property to Mrs. McMee’s husband.
The petition alleges that within about three weeks after the death of Mrs. Alice McMee, her husband married again. The court is asked to set aside a mortgage for $750 which McMee and his second wife executed to Dr. Crosby. It is alleged that at the time Mrs. McMee executed the first deed Mrs. McMee could not lawfully execute a deed as her mind was impaired from excessive use of morphine. The plaintiffs asks that the property be sold and the proceeds divided among the heirs after payment costs….

CARY F. ALFORD
MORNING HERALD
Lexington, Fayette Co., KY—5 May 1897
After a brief but severe illness, Mr. Cary F Alford died at his home near Lexington yesterday at noon. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Dr W.H. Felix at the home this afternoon at 4 o’clock, and the interment will be at the Lexington cemetery.
Mr. Alford was one of four brothers who have for many years been identified in many honorable ways with Central Kentucky. The eldest, Mr. Smith Alford, died quite a while ago, leaving descendents in Woodford. Another, Mr. Richard F. Alford, who moved to Lexington from Payne’s Depot a few years ago, and went from here to live in Tennessee, where he owned property, died there last year. The remaining brother is Mr. Oliver P. Alford, of this city.
Mr. Cary F. Alford moved to Fayette from his native county of Garrard and settled near the Jessamine line. His wife, who died about twelve years ago, was Miss Margaret Mitchell, of Jessamine county.
Two children survive—Hon. Mitchell C. Alford, so well known as one of the most popular public men of our State and his sister, Mrs. McConarty [sic: McConathy], the wife of Mr. Asa McConarty.
The death of Mr. Alford will be mourned by many who loved and admired him. He was “Uncle Cary” to all and was peculiarly a favorite with young and old. His kindness and courteousness to every one, his interest in the welfare of others than himself, his constant cheerfulness, his rare simplicity of life so distinctive of the gentry of our country, made him greatly beloved.
In his business relations he was noted for rectitude of conduct.
He passed away in the fulness of a long life spent in the duties of an earnest, Christian citizen.

2 DIE AS TRUCK, INTERURBAN HIT
TRAM WRECKS MOTOR CROSSING TRACKS AT FRANKFORT AND MAYFAIR
MOTORMAN IS ARRESTED
Two employes of the Stiglitz Furnace Company. 123 West Main Street, were instantly killed Tuesday morning when an inbound Pewee Valley interurban car struck a truck in which they were riding at Frankfort and Mayfair Avenues, knocking it more than 100 feet.
The employes were Charles Alford, 38 years old. 464 East Brandeis Avenue, and Lee Stith, 34, of 818 North Thirty-third Street.
The truck, driven by Alford, going out Frankfort Avenue, had turned south to Mayfair Avenue and was crossing the interurban tracks when struck and demolished, it was said. The car was operated by Ray C.-Moreland. 36, of 129 South Twenty-second Street, motorman, and John Osborne, conductor, 1418 Winter Avenue.
Moreland said the car was going about twenty-five miles an hour and that he blew a warning whistle when he saw the truck approaching from the opposite direction, although he had no idea that the truck would turn in front of the car. When the interurban was only a few feet away the truck cut in front of it and it was too late to avoid the crash. More-and said.
Gus Breuner, 102 Mayfair Avenue, said the men on the truck appeared to be looking at him cutting grass and probably did not see the interurban until a second before the crash.
Moreland was arrested on a manslaughter charge by county patrolmen and was paroled by County Judge Henry I. Fox. Coroner Roy L. Carter, after an examination, said the men died of fractured skulls.
Mr. Alford is survived by his wife Mrs. Viola Alford; two step-children, Embert and Naomi Reichel; his mother, Mrs. Mary Alford; four sisters, Mrs. Florence Lang, Mrs. Elizabeth Kleier [sic: Kleyer], Mrs. Anne Chappel and Mrs. Mattie Marmilot, and two brothers, Frank Alford and William Alford….

Corbin, Whitley Co., KY—Monday, 30 July 1973
State Detective Robert Miracle is investigating the death of Jack Alford of Trosper (Knox county) who was found dead near his home Saturday night [July 28].
Officials theorize that Alford apparently had an accident in his own car and the vehicle ran over an embankment. Apparently Alford climbed back up the embankment to the road (Kay Jay) where his body was later found by a passing motorist. Alford had been run over by another vehicle and dragged several feet along the road. Which injuries were sustained in which mishap have not been determined.

CLIFTON CALLIE ALFORD
RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH
Richmond, VA—Saturday, 16 February 1929
BOWLING GREEN, KY., Feb. 15—Two persons are dead and a third is near death at a hospital here as the result of a gun battle last night between a group of roadhouse patrons.
Mrs. Tom Renfrow, wife of the proprietor, was slain when Clif Alford returned to the place with a shotgun a short time after her husband had ejected Alford, his two brothers, Homer and Robert Alford, and “Crip” Jarvis, officers were told.
Renfrow grabbed a gun when he saw the armed man approaching, and Mrs. Renfrow sprang to protect him.
Elmer Turner, son-in-law of the Renfrows, it was said, opened fire on Alford and shot him three times.
Alford died at the city hospital early this morning.
Robert Alford was wounded twice by bullets from Turner’s revolver and he is not expected to live.
On the way back to town the touring car in which the Alford boys were riding collided with a parked truck and overturned in the street. It was there that patrolmen found the two men, desperately wounded. They were taken to the county jail and immediately afterward transferred to the hospital.
Turner was not arrested.

Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY—Friday, 2 August 2019
Edgar Lee Alford, 80, of Bowling Green, Kentucky entered into rest Monday, July 22rd, 2019 at Colonial Manor Nursing Home in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Edgar (Ed) was born March 31st, 1938 in Washtenaw County, Michigan to the late Elvis Smith Alford, M.D. and Mrs. Nellie Corbin Alford.
Ed is survived by his two sisters, Mary Ann Soderquist (Steven) of Northville, MI, and Linda Kay Kaiser (Robert) of Brighton, MI. One brother, Robert Mark Alford of Canton, MI. Several nieces and nephews also survive.
Edgar loved animals and had many pets over the years. He would still get emotional when talking about his chocolate lab, named “Dawg” and pet turtle “Sunny”.
Edgar was passionate about genealogy and his family’s history. Over the years he had spent many long days, both in research and documentation of his findings. He also had a fondness for the Civil War era history and had collected several items from that era, donating some to museums. Edgar served his country as a member of the Air Force Reserves.
While spending close to five years in different health care facilities, Edgar was always encouraged when he would get a card, letter or a phone call from old friends. He loved Chester’s Cheese Puffs, diet Coke and plain McDonalds cheese burgers and his eyes would light up when visitors would bring these treats.
Cremation was chosen and there will be a private graveside service at Fairview Cemetery in Bowling Green, Ky. at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the J.C. Kirby and Son Broadway Chapel.

DIES OF HIS WOUNDS
HARDIN ALFORD KILLED BY HENRY SHANKS, HIS FORMER BONDSMAN
BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Dec. 26—Hardin Alford was shot by Henry Shanks yesterday near Cherry’s Chapel, dying of his wounds.
The events which led to the shooting date back several months, when Alford was in court here and was placed under a $250 bond, with Shanks as his bondsman. He failed to appear at the September term of court and the bond was forfeited. Mr. Shanks, hearing that he was in the Cherry’s Chapel neighborhood yesterday, was deputized as a Constable and went out to arrest Alford. He asked Alfred Cox to assist him, and together they went to Cherry’s Chapel, where a Christmas entertainment was in progress. As they approached Alford came out, and they informed him that they had come to arrest him. It is said he stepped back a few feet and reached for his gun, and that he had it in his hand when Shanks fired the fatal bullet, which entered just over Alford’s left eye. He lived only a few hours.
This is the first killing that has occurred in this county in two years.

SHOT AND KILLED AT XMAS ENTERTAINMENT
HARDIN ALFORD SLAIN BY H.C. SHANKS OF BOWLING GREEN IN WARREN COUNTY, KY.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Dec. 26—H.C. Shanks, a prominent liveryman of this city, yesterday shot Hardin Alford, a well-known, young farmer of this county, and the latter died at midnight.
Alford was indicted June 15 by the Warren county grand Jury, charged with false swearing, and Shanks went on his bond for his appearance at the September term of court. He left the county and his bond was forfeited. Information came to Shanks that Alford had returned home to spend Christmas, and together with Constable Virgil M. Cox went to the Christmas entertainment in the Cherry Chapel neighborhood. It was here the men met, and Alford, it is alleged, first made a move for his gun, and Shanks, seeing his life was endangered, shot Alford in the forehead. Shanks gave bond for his appearance at an examining trial, which is set for Friday.
Alford was the son of Calvin Alford, formerly deputy sheriff of this county, and is survived by one son, aged three years, a daughter eight years of age, also six brothers and one sister. The funeral services will occur Wednesday at Mt. Zion.

LONE MAN ROUTS GANG FROM HOME
ONE OF SEVEN ATTACKERS IS SLAIN BY OFFICER, TWO ARE CAPTURED
FAKE SEARCH WARRANT IS SERVED ON FARMER NEAR BARDSTOWN
BARDSTOWN, Ky., July 11—A young Nelson County farmer beat off an attack by seven armed men at daylight today unaided. With rifle bullets he drove them from his farm home, pursued them by motor down the highway, knocked their automobile from the road and captured one of them. Officers who came to his aid killed one of the seven and captured another. A posse of 100 men tonight searched Larue and Nelson Counties for the remaining four, who fled through the fields.
The man who repulsed the armed band is Walter Hall, who lives with his mother, Mrs. Franklin Hall, at her farmhouse near New Haven, twelve miles south of Bardstown.
CLAIM TO BE OFFICERS
He met the seven men in his yard early this morning. They told him they were Federal prohibition agents, and showed him what purported to be a warrant authorizing a search of the premises. Hall recognized the document as an automobile bill of sale, and ran to the house, dodging bullets. Inside the Hall home, the young man opened fire with a rifle. His assailants laid down a barrage either of machine gun or shotgun fire, breaking every window pane in the house. It is estimated 100 shots were exchanged in the gun battle.
Abandoning the attack, the seven men drove away in Hall’s automobile. He pursued them in another motor, and caught up with them at Atherton, between Hodgenville and New Haven. He rammed the motor into the automobile, wrecking both motors. Six of the men fled across a field, but Hall captured one, Ceci1 Shelto Detheridge, 21 year old of Bowling Green, KY.
TELEPHONE FOR AID
Hall’s family had telephoned New Haven for aid, and he was joined by Sheriff Boone Peake and Deputy Sheriff Martin Bowling. They pursued the fleeing men. Bowling shot one of them through the head, the victim dying shortly afterward. The dead man was Homer Alford, 24, also of Bowling Green.
The men refused to discuss their attack, and would give no reason for their actions, saying they first wished to consult lawyers. Officers believe they were a hi-jacking crew, who went to the Hall farm by mistake….
Alford’s sister, Mrs. Herschel Cherry, left Bowling Green late today to claim the body of her brother.
Alford leaves a wife and two small children in Warren County. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. William Alford. A brother, Robert Alford, is serving a sentence in Warren County Jail for liquor law violation.
Another brother, Cliff Alford, in 1929 killed Mrs. Tom Renfrow, wife of a proprietor of a roadhouse near Bowling Green. Cliff was fatally wounded by Mrs. Renfrow’s son-in-law, Elmer Turner. Turner was acquitted.
Homer Alford was acquitted last month by a Warren Circuit Court jury on a minor charge….
Homer Alford’s wife, at Bowling Green, said her husband left home last night with a man named Compton.

BROOKSVILLE—A graduate of Bracken County High School has been killed in what officials called a freak accident.
James Alford graduated with the BCHS Class of 2016 and had been in Boone County when the accident happened on Thursday, friends said.
According to officials, Alford was killed while repairing a truck transmission.
“We received a 911 hang up call at 7:55 p.m., in the 2700 block of Lawrenceburg Ferry Road, and deputies went to investigate,” said Tom Scheben of Boone County Sheriff’s Office. “(Alford) was found under a pick-up truck. Petersburg Fire Department and EMS and Boone County Coroner’s Office were also called to the scene.”
According to people at the scene, Alford had been repairing the transmission when the truck rolled and fell on him. “It is a very sad situation,” Scheben said.
Alford’s family in Bracken County was notified of his death by police, officials said.
“(Alford) was a great archer, true friend, outdoorsman and the hardest working young man I’ve ever had the privilege to know,” Pat Taylor of the Bracken County Archery team posted on social media. “And may I add, James was mentor and role model for teammates and friends.”
Alford made headlines in June when he was bitten by a rabid fox while helping on a Bracken County farm. He was treated for the bite, including multiple injections, and an infection of the bite location on his wrist, he said in June. In the meantime, he had moved on with his life, friends said.
Boone County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the accident.

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.

Mr. J.R. Alford, one of Stanford’s oldest and best citizens, died about 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon after a protracted illness of a complication of diseases. The burial took place in Buffalo cemetery Wednesday afternoon after services at the home of Mr. George D. Wearen….
Deceased was a warm hearted, good man and the many friends he left sorrow at his taking away. Mr. Alford was born March 11, 1816, near South Fork, Lincoln county, this State. He came to Stanford when a mere youth to serve an apprenticeship with a blacksmith, Mr. Berry, and boarded with him in the same house in which he has lived continuously for 52 years.
On July 20, 1837, he was married to Miss Amanda Jane Cox, of Mercer county. They spent their early married life in Washington and Anderson counties, coming to Stanford about 1852 where they spent the remainder of their lives, she having died Aug. 21, 1886. To them were born four children. The oldest and youngest died quite young and Mrs. Geo. D. Wearen is the only survivor, Mr. B.G. Alford having died May 23, of this year.
Mr. J.R. Alford ran a livery stable and a blacksmith shop in this town for about 25 years and was also numbered among the old merchants, occupying the room in business where the first bank of Stanford was opened. He was converted some 50 years ago, uniting with the Methodist church.
He had eight brothers and one sister, all of whom are now dead.
In September, 1887, he was married to Mrs. Lucy E. Beidleman, who died Oct. 1, 1898, since which time he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Wearen. He had seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren living, two great-grandchildren dead.
Four generations have lived in the Wearen home the past four years and gathered at the same table.

Barbourville, Knox Co., KY—_____ June 2020
BARBOURVILLE, Ky.—John William Alford, 91, of Corbin, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2020.
John was the son of Ruth Bolton (Alford) and Albert Alford, joyfully born to them in Knox County on October 25, 1928. John was raised in Brush Creek and graduated from Knox Central High School. To begin his career in the automotive industry, John, moved to Michigan and joined Ford Motor Company, where he worked as an inspector until retirement. After retirement, John explored a career in real estate, while living in Punta Gorda, Florida for over twenty years.
John W. Alford married twice, both times to true loves, named Lois. On January 10, 1948, John was united in marriage to Lois E. Hollaway and to this union, two children were born—one son, John Jr. and one daughter, Brenda. John enjoyed a loving and a long marriage of over sixty-five years, with his first wife, Lois until her death in 2013.
After John’s first wife passed away, he met the second love of his life, Lois Asher. They married on September 10, 2015. John and Lois Asher, were introduced by a mutual friend, and he was blessed to be lucky in love a second time. John and Lois were inseparable companions. John was happiest having his wife, Lois, right by his side at all times. Lois and he enjoyed homemaking together, including cooking, cleaning and even doing the dishes. No task was drudgery, as long as they worked side-by-side. John also loved children very much. He adored his son, daughter, step-daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was dearly loved and admired in return, so much so, that there were three family members named after him—an honor of which he was incredibly proud.
John was admired for his devotion and loyalty to the Lord. He was a passionate Christian, with a strong faith. John was an active member of the Calvary Baptist Church, where he served his church community as a long-time teacher for the Men’s Sunday School Class. John was also well known for his depth of knowledge of the Bible. His scholarly study of the Bible, led John to become curious about different world religions, which became a focal point of John’s religious research in his later years. John also was a member of the Masonic Order.
In 2009, John became a published author, when a book he had written about his childhood, “Brush Creek: Boyhood Days” was picked up by Trafford Publishing. In the book, John fondly recalls many sweet and funny stories about his life in this tiny well-known Knox County community. All of those who knew John, felt that he was an extremely intelligent man, with a keen sense of humor, as well as a terrific storyteller. Friends and family alike agree that being in John’s company, was truly joyful.
In addition to his parents, Ruth Bolton Alford and Albert Alford, John was preceded in death by his beloved first wife, Lois E. Hollaway Alford; his daughter Brenda Herington; his son-in-law, Robert Herington; one sister Hazel Christianson and her husband Roland and one brother, Albert Clay, Jr. and his wife, Mary Jo.
John is survived by his wife, Lois Archer Carnes Alford, his son John W. Alford Jr. (Dawn) of Ypsilanti, Michigan; two step-daughters: Liz Gilley (Ron) of Pineville and Helena Woods (Gary) of Pineville. Also left to mourn his passing are four grandchildren: Jeff Herington (Jennifer), Jason Herington (Kathryn), John Alford III (Danielle), Emily Ardner (John) and six great grandchildren: Ethan Herington, Brooklyn Herington, Aria Herington, Josephine Alford, Eloise Alford and John Alford IV.

Barbourville, Knox Co., KY—Monday, 22 June 2020
BARBOURVILLE, Ky.—Linda Kay Alford, 77, passed away peacefully on June 19, 2020.
Linda was the daughter of Loretta Shupe Swafford and Charlie Swafford, joyfully born to them on December 10, 1942. Linda, a lifelong resident of Knox County, married Beverly, “Bev” Alford, and to this union three children were born: Lea Ann, Pat, and Jacie. In addition to making a happy home for her family, Linda worked for many years for the Internal Revenue Service.
Linda will forever be remembered by her family and friends as being a spunky, independent, strong willed and opinionated lady who was also incredibly kind, thoughtful and loving. Linda was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and sister. She cherished spending time with her family and was forever watching over them to be certain they were well cared for. Even, when Linda was not at the height of good health, she was concerned about the well-being of others. Her children fondly shared that Linda had so many people that she keep a “check on”, that she needed two cell phones, in order to make sure everyone was without need.
Linda was always so proud of her family, especially her grandchildren, to whom she was known as Grandmother, Nana and Grand Nana. She “delighted in every step that they took and each smile they gave”. In turn, Linda’s family delighted in her attention and her sense of humor and mischievousness. Linda was a fun mother and grandmother. Pat, has memories of his mother’s kindness in always being present at his numerous ballgames, no matter which state in the nation, they took place. Jacie fondly remembers her mother’s love of playing the piano, which was adjacent to her (Jacie’s) bedroom, at any hour of the night or day, and Lea Ann, warmly recalls the trust her mother bestowed in her, her eldest child, to help care for her younger siblings, when Linda had to attend to other obligations. Linda loved to travel and she enjoyed music. She was a self-taught pianist and vocalist who loved Gospel music - especially when sung by Elvis Presley. Linda’s church was a cornerstone of her life. She was an active member of the First Christian Church, Barbourville, giving of her time to assist with the church’s bell choir and to work with the Women’s Fellowship Group.
In addition to her parents, Loretta Shupe Swafford and Charlie Swafford, Linda was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bev., one brother-in-law, Mike Payne and one sister-in-law, Sonya Alford Coppedge.
Linda is survived by many dear family members: her son, Pat Alford and wife, Edwina, of London; her daughter, Jacie Alford Gambrel and husband, Jeremy, “Grapette”, of Barbourville and her daughter, Lea Ann Alford Hammons and husband, Tim, of Barbourville; two brothers and four sisters survive Linda: Ronnie Swafford (JoAnn) of Delaware, Bill Swafford (Michelle) of Barbourville, Mary Katherine Deaton (Ronnie) of Heidrick, Beverly Swafford of Williamsburg, Shelia Payne of Barbourville and Margaret Pridemore (Dwight) of Heidrick.

AUTO DRIVER ARRESTED AFTER WOMAN’S DEATH
MRS. ANDREW J. ALFORD IS VICTIM OF INJURIES
UNCONSCIOUS SINCE ACCIDENT LAST THURSDAY
MANSLAUGHTER IS CHARGED
After having been in an unconscious condition for more than five days, Mrs. Mary Alford, wife of Andrew J. Alford, local field manager for P.F. Collier & Son, died at her home, 927 South Second street, at 8:10 o clock last night. She was struck by an automobile driven by Edward Finn, of 821 West Jefferson street, at Second and Breckinridge streets last Thursday morning. Finn, who was arrested following the accident, on charge of malicious assault and later released on bond, was rearrested last night, the charge having been amended to manslaughter.
Mrs. Alford was rendered unconscious when struck by the machine and she remained in that state to death. Her skull was fractured in three places, her shoulders were bruised and cut and her entire body was bruised. She also suffered concussion of the brain. Six physicians and two surgeons were called to attend her, but medical science was powless to aid her or prolong her life.
Mrs. Alford left her home shortly after 10 o’clock Thursday morning to visit a friend on the Seventh-street park line. She was attempting to cross at Second and Breckinridge streets when the auto, which belongs to Longest Bros., struck her. According to the driver, he was going at a rate of speed not in excess of ten miles an hour. He said the woman was standing in the street. He said he thought she would step back upon the pavement at his approach, but instead walked in the path of his car.
After striking her the auto passed over her body. She was taken to the home of Mrs. D.H. Head, 200 West Breckinridge street, and later removed to her home. She was identified by means of letters, which she had received at her home a short time before.
Mrs. Alford was a native of Harrisburg, Pa., and was 40 years of age. She formerly was Miss Mary Ashton, having been the daughter of William Ashton, a railroad man. She resided in Harrisburg until about twenty years ago when she removed to Louisville following her marriage to Mr. Alford. Besides her husband she has no relatives nearer than cousins, who reside in Pennsylvania.

MITCHELL CARY ALFORD
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER
Lexington, Fayette Co., KY—10 December 1914
SHORT ILLNESS OF PNEUMONIA FATAL TO PROMINENT LEXINGTON LAWYER AND ONCE ACTIVE POLITICIAN
HEAD OF IMPORTANT SENATE COMMITTEES
NOMINATED WITHOUT OPPOSITION ON TICKET WITH JOHN YOUNG BROWN
Former Lieutenant Governor Mitchell C. Alford, one of the best known men in Kentucky, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital last night at 7:45 o’clock. His death was directly due to pneumonia, with which he was attacked about ten days ago. His illness was critical from the start, but he had been reported as holding his own for the last several days. Judge Alford was 59 years of age.
Mitchell Cary Alford was born in Fayette County, Kentucky, July 10, 1855. At an early age he entered Kentucky University and was graduated from that institution in the class of 1877. In the following year he took up the study of law. In 1879, after two years’ study in the law department of the Kentucky University, he graduated with high honors.
He immediately commenced the practice of law forming a partnership with Z.F. Smith, a college mate, under the firm name of Alford & Smith, which existed for seven or eight years, and was terminated by the death of Mr. Smith. Mr. Alford then became associated with Judge Matt Walton, with whom he practiced for five or six years when this partnership was dissolved. Since that time Mr. Alford has been engaged in business alone.
JUDGE OF RECORDER’S COURT
About two years after his admission to the bar he was appointed Master Commissioner of the Fayette Circuit Court and held that office for four years. The next office he held was that of Judge of the Record’s Court, now the Police Court, of the city of Lexington, to which he was elected and served a full term of two years. He was re-elected to the same office but resigned to make the race for State Senator in the Lexington district. He was elected to this office and served the full term of four years, taking an active part in that body, of which he was the youngest member.
In the first session of his term Judge Alford served as chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and in the second session was Chairman of the Committee on Railroads.
While a member of the Senate Judge Alford’s popularity became so general throughout the State that in the Democratic State convention in 1891 he was nominated without opposition, for the office of Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with John Young Brown and was elected.
For several years he was chairman of the State Democratic Committee, being succeeded in that place by General John B. Castleman, of Louisville.
PRESIDENT OF STATE LEAGUE
He was president of the State League of Democratic Clubs, composed of some 400 organizations throughout the State, which was a high honor and the best evidence that the Democratic party of Kentucky recognized and appreciated his ability as an organizer and campaigner.
Governor Alford was a “Sound Money” Democrat and was one of the several candidates for the office of Governor to succeed Mr. Brown. His defeat in the convention was due to political conditions rather than to the lack of willing supporters. Had he received the nomination he probably would have been elected by the usual Democratic majority.
Aside from his successful career in politics, he was identified with various extensive business enterprises. He was one of the promoters and organizers of the First National Bank in Middlesboro, and at the first meeting of its board of directors was elected president of that corporation. Shortly afterwards he sold his entire stock in the bank and resigned the presidency. During the “boom” days of Middlesboro he was president of several important land companies of the “mountain city.” He was also one of the stockholders and for a time was treasurer of the Phoenix Hotel Company of Lexington, and was the owner of other valuable property.
Judge Alford is survived by a sister, Mrs. Alice McConathy, of Lexington, and four nieces, Misses Margaret, Carey and Louise McConathy, of this city, and Mrs. Charles L. Orr, of Louisville. Asa McConathy, a nephew, who is connected with the Lewin Cigar Company, also survives him.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed but will be announced later.

MANY ATTEND BURIAL OF JUDGE M.C. ALFORD
Funeral services for Judge Mitchell Cary Alford, lieutenant-governor with John Young Brown, were held at the family residence, 151 East High Street, yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock. A large concourse of friends and relatives were present. The Rev. Edward J. Caswell, assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church, conducted the services….
Resolutions were passed by the members of the Fayette Bar yesterday morning in which the career of Judge Alford was sketched and his loss to his city and State deplored….
The resolutions adopted follow:
“Mitchell Cary Alford was born on his father’s farm about two miles from the village of East Hickman, Fayette County, Kentucky, on the 10th day of July, 1855. His father was Cary F. Alford, a leading farmer, and for many years a member of the Fiscal Court of Fayette County, then known as the Court of Claims. His mother was Margaret Mitchell Alford, a gracious and much beloved lady. He entered Kentucky University and was graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences in June, 1877. The next collegiate year he took up the study of law and in 1879 was graduated from the Law College of the same institution. He took high rank in all of his classes and was greatly admired and respected both by the faculty and his class-mates. His graduating speech … was one of the best delivered in years…. [The paragraphs that follow repeat details of his career provided in his obituary and include praise for his accomplishments and character.]
“Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the Judge of the Fayette Circuit Court with the request that they be spread upon the records of the Court and the Clerk be directed to send a certified copy of the same to the family of the deceased.

AAFA NOTES: See the obituaries of her father, Granville Alford; and half-siblings Alma Alford Robinson, Granville Lewis Alford, and William P. Alford in this compilation. We included the obituary of her brother Onias Arthur Alford in Indiana Obituaries.
There is a question regarding her birth date, and consequently the name of her mother. Myrtle’s death certificate and her gravestone list her birth year as 1883, and her obituary says she was age 53. Her death certificate and her obituary list her mother as Louise. However, her father’s first wife, Louise, died in 1881 according to a Bible record. That same Bible record lists Myrtle Alford’s birthdate as 20 Oct 1878, but she is not on the 1880 census. Her father married his second wife, Sarah, in 1882. Either Myrtle’s 1878 birthdate in the Bible record and on the 1900 census is incorrect, or the 1883 birthdate in other records is incorrect.
From Kentucky, County Marriages, 1797-1954 (FamilySearch.org): Granville Alfred married Louisa Jane Hendren on 2 Dec 1869 in Washington Co., KY. In the record, under “Place of Marriage”, it says “Sidney Hendren,” and it appears that the bride’s father was listed in this column throughout.
In 1880, the family is living in Salvisa, Mercer Co., KY: Granville Alford 30; his wife Louisa 29; their daughters Emma 7 and Sallie 2/12; Granville’s father Peyton H. Alford 72; and Granville’s nephew Homer Alford 14. All were born in KY.
Granville Alfred, age 36, married S.J. Goodlett, age 24, on 3 Dec 1882 in Anderson Co., KY. It was Granville’s second marriage and S.J.’s first.
In 1900, Myrtle Alford, age 21 born Oct 1878 in KY, is living with the family of Henry Bush in Lexington, Fayette Co., KY. She is listed as his cousin.
Myrtle’s first husband, married 25 Aug 1900 in Fayette Co., KY, was Henry H. Walker (1874–1908).
Myrtle is listed on the 1910 census in Flat Rock, Bourbon Co., KY: Myrtle Walker, boarder, widow, age 26 born KY, 0 children. Her occupation is college teacher; she and two other teachers are boarding with Edgar Buffington, a college professor.
Her second husband was Magnus Earl Rash (1883–1944).
In 1920, Magnus and Myrtle are in North Middletown, Bourbon Co., KY, with their daughters Louise 7 and Wilhelmina 1-3/12.

MINE OPERATOR NEAR BARBOURVILLE SLAIN; WIFE HELD
BARBOURVILLE, Ky., May 7—Charles Fannon, 48, operator of a truck mine on Indiana Creek near here, was fatally shot early today.
His wife, Nola, was arrested and charged with the shooting. County Attorney Sampson Knuckles said Mrs. Fannon admitted firing the fatal shot because she “was driven to it.”
She was acquitted:
THE COURIER-JOURNAL
Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY—Friday, 19 November 1944
A jury in Bell Circuit Court acquitted Mrs. Nola Fannon of the murder of her husband, Charles Fannon, in Knox County May 7, 1943. At her first trial in Knox Circuit Court, Mrs. Fannon was given a 21-year sentence; however the Court of Appeals ordered a new trial and a change of venue. Mrs. Fannon, the mother of eight children, testified she was temporarily insane over the fact she believed her husband had been unfaithful and that she didn’t know whether or not she had shot him.
THE COURIER-JOURNAL
Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY—Saturday, 20 November 1944
FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 19—Declaring Mrs. Nola Fannon was not allowed to furnish sufficient evidence to prove she was “emotionally insane,” the Court of Appeals today set aside a twenty-one-year sentence given her in Knox County on conviction of shooting and killing her husband.
The opinion said she married Charles Fannon when she was 14, bore him eight children and that after thirty years of married life he “took up adulterous relations with a young woman and pitilessly destroyed his home.” It added he “boasted” of his affair and showed “his contempt and scorn” for his wife.
Her only defense, the opinion said, was “emotional insanity” at the time of the killing last May 7.
The case was tried by a jury from Laurel County after denial of a motion by the Commonwealth for a change of venue on claims that public sentiment was such that the State could not get an impartial trial in Knox.

LEXINGTON HERALD
Lexington, Fayette Co., KY—28 September 1905
Co. O.P. Alford, aged eighty years; died at the St. Joseph’s Hospital last night after an illness lasting since Saturday of erysipelas. He contracted a cold some time last week which was at first not considered serious.
Mr. Alford was one of the most widely known men in the South as a horse breeder and mule exporter, and at one time was one of the richest men in Fayette county. He came to Lexington about twenty five years ago from New Orleans.
He started into the trotting horse business here, and bred some of the famous trotters of that day, such as Barney Wilkes, Judge Saulsbury and Dan Cupid. He owned at one time what is now known as Aylesford, Clifton Heights and the Chautauqua woods. His training stable and track were where Aylesford is now situated.
In New Orleans he was known as the biggest mule dealer in that city, which was headquarters for stock traders, and one of his lines of business was the exportation of mules to Cuba. It was in the mule business that Mr. Alford acquired his wealth, and in the horse business that he was not successful.
He made bad investments in the early nineties, and when the panic of 1897 came he was forced to make an assignment, and retired.
Probably the best horse he bred here was Dan Cupid, which had a mark of 2:07¼, when he was sold to a New York firm several years ago. This horse was owned jointly by Mr. Alford and Col. S.P. Salter, who was engaged in the horse business here at that time. Dan Cupid was sold and taken to New York, where he went blind a month later.
Mr. Alford was married in New Orleans, and is survived by his wife and four children, who are Smith Alford, of New York; O.P. Alford, Jr., Mrs. .J Poyntz Nelson, and Miss Audrey Alford, of this city. He was an uncle of M.C. [Mitchell Cary] Alford, of this city.
The funeral arrangements will be announced later.

ORVILLE EDWARD 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…. 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.

REBECCA MAE “BECKY” BOWLES ALFORD
Photo from gravestone
KENTUCKY POST
Covington, Kenton Co., KY—Saturday, 14 October 2006
Her siblings called Becky Alford the rock of the family.
“She always made sure the family was around and got together on special holidays or birthdays,” said her younger brother, Dennis Bowles of Florence.
“We had great times,” Bowles said. “She told us about the old days, the days we didn’t remember because we were too young.”
Mrs. Alford, 68, of Newport, died Thursday night [October 12], just a few hours after the Newport Board of Education honored her for her 40 years of work with the Newport PTA.
A few weeks earlier, Newport High School had made her an honorary Wildcat and given her a varsity letter.
The Newport Firefighters PeeWee Football league recently recognized her for her 40 years of service in the concession stand and working with cheerleaders.
In 1992, the Kentucky Department of Education named her as one of the state’s 10 outstanding school volunteers.
“I just wanted to be involved,” she said at the time. “It makes (children) better citizens when they know their parents are supportive of them.”
She served as PTA president for Fourth Street Elementary at least three times and served on state PTA committees.
Because no men were available for the job, she became the leader of Cub Scout Pack 49 when her son was in Scouting. She led the troop for about 10 years, her brother said.
“She was a special person,” he said. “She volunteered so much of her life to the community and to the children of Newport.”
Though she spent most of her time as a volunteer and homemaker, she also held some jobs for pay, including as a teacher’s assistant and as a worker in the former American Book Co. book bindery in downtown Cincinnati.
She fought cancer like a champ for about two years, her brother said.
She detected a lump in her breast in the spring of 2004, but didn’t have it checked for about six months because her youngest brother, Karvel Bowles, died about the same time.
“We had such a grieving process about that,” her brother said of Karvel’s death. “It tore us up.”
Besides her brother, other survivors include her husband, Howard E. Alford Sr.; sons Howard E. Alford Jr. of Silver Grove, Michael C. Alford and Sean O. Alford, both of Southgate; her stepmother, Frances Bowles of West Harrison, Ind.; brothers, Clarence Bowles of Covington and Bob Bowles of Florence; sisters, Frances Cooper of Independence, Phyllis Hawkins of Newport, Julie Sandlin of Dry Ridge, and Betty Bowles of Florence; a stepbrother, Curtis Maddox of West Harrison, Ind.; 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Services will be at noon Tuesday at Community Pentecostal Church, Independence. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday at Muehlenkamp-Erschell Funeral Home, Fort Thomas. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Southgate.
Memorials are suggested to the Becky M. Alford Memorial Fund, in care of any Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky branch.

STEPHEN ALFORD DEAD
Stephen B. Alford, aged sixty-eight years, died yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock at his residence, 2632 Alford avenue. He was a member of a well-known family, and Alford avenue was named in their honor.
He is survived by a wife and several children.
Mr. Alford was a stationary engineer by trade.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, and the interment will be in Cave Hill cemetery.

AAFA NOTES: See the obituaries of his wife, Amelia Josephine Overstreet Alford; children Frank B. Alford and Josephine M. Alford; and siblings Benjamin Franklin Alford, James Hale Alford, Lydia Ann Alford Lonnon, and William D. Alford in this compilation.
From KY Marriages: Stephen B. Alford, born 1834 in Louisville, married Amelia J. Overstreet, born 1845 in Louisville, in Louisville on 24 Sept 1866.
His Find A Grave memorial lists his name as Stephen Beale Alford, but his middle name has not been found in any records.
From his Find A Grave memorial:
In the year 1813, when John Alford was 17 years of age, he, with the consent of his father (also named John Alford), legally put himself Apprentice to William Cook of Portsmouth, a Fisherman and a Mariner, to learn his art with him. The contract signed was for three years of service.
In 1819 several families came from Portsmouth, Hampshire, England in a windjammer. Among them were the following families: Elestone, Nutall, Wesplay, Seymour, John and Hannah Leggett, Richard William and Jane Jones Lonnon, Jacob Jones and Hannah Cass Jones along with their children, and John Alford.
On the way, the captain of the sailing vessel got drunk and lost the way. They sailed and sailed, finally ending up in the Sargasso Sea. The crew asked the passengers sign a petition to put the captain in chains and the crew navigated the ship to port. They landed at Baltimore, Maryland after 110 days at sea.
Had it not been for the canned fruits, meats, jellies and wine the women had brought along to their new home, they would have starved before reaching America.
Nancy Ann Cass Jones was the daughter of Jacob Jones and Hannah Cass Jones, and John Alford had married her on June 29, 1817, in the Kingston Church of England (Episcopal), near London. To this union were born 12 children. One died in infancy.
In the Louisville City Directory for 1843-44, John Alford is listed as a “rectifier of spirits” (which means he sold liquors, wines, etc.), and his address was “on the South Side of Grayson (now Cedar Street) between 6th and 7th”. His wholesale liquor business was on “Market Street, North side, between 3rd and 4th”.
He acquired quite an amount of property in Louisville. One such property, the Alford farm. ran from 26th Street to 29th Street and from Alford Avenue to Rowan Street. Some of it was sold to St. John’s Cemetery. Alford Street is named for him. They lived in a big red brick house containing fifteen rooms, which fronted 26th Street, at 26th and Alford Avenue. He lived there until his death.
John Alford died March 3, 1857 at age 64. He was buried in the Old Jefferson Street Cemetery, 15-16 Jefferson, Louisville, Ky. (It is now called Western Cemetery).
In 1870 Jefferson County they are listed as S.B. and Amelia with Frank as one of their children. S.B. or Stephen was an engineer.
In 1860 S.B. Alford 24 (blacksmith) and B.F. Alford 21 (druggist) were boarding with S. Davis. B.F., who was living alone in 1870, was listed as Ben.

INTERIOR JOURNAL
Stanford, Lincoln Co., KY—Tuesday, 18 February 1936
PLEASANT POINT—Again the death angel has visited our community and claimed S.C. Alford, one of our oldest citizens, aged 75 years.
He was a son of David and Martha Alford, long deceased. He was born July 25th, 1861, and passed away Feb. 3rd, after an illness of almost a year’s duration.
He was united in marriage in 1891 to Clara Dishon, daughter of William and Martha Dishon, and to this union was born nine sons and two daughters, all living with the exception of two sons, they having died in infancy.
Those living are Elza, Elmer and James Alford, living here; Willie Alford, of Iowa, Chas. Alford, of Illinois, Omer Alford, of Ohio, Mrs. Ralph Miller, of Dayton, O., and Mrs. Walter Munch, of Detroit, Mich.
Two of them were unable to attend the funeral of their father, Mrs. Ralph Miller, whose children were ill, and Charles, the preacher son, after traveling 100 miles, was forced to turn back on account of the extreme snow drifts.
Besides the companion and these sons and daughters, he leaves one brother, D.P. Alford, the last one remaining of a large family—three brothers and a sister having passed away within two years’ time.
He was converted at the early age of 14 years and all of his long life has been a faithful member of Peasant Point Baptist church, having served as deacon for many years….
After services by Rev. K.G. Martin, a former pastor, the remains were laid to rest in Pleasant Point cemetery….

TIPSTER OF HOLD-UP WOUNDED AS PAL SLAIN IN ROBBERY
ACCOMPANIES THREE BANDITS INTO POLICE TRAP AT LEXINGTON, KY., STORE
LEXINGTON, KY., March 22—A police submachine gun mounted in a department store dealt death last night to one yeggman [safecracker] and seriously wounded another who had tipped off the officers to a projected safe-cracking expedition.
As four robbers approached the offices of J.D. Purcell Company store in the darkness, carrying crowbars and explosives, five officers awaiting them commanded them to throw up their hands. Instead the robbers opened fire, wounding Thomas Crum, the store’s night watchman, in the leg.
The police return volley killed Virgil Alford of Winchester, Ky., and seriously wounded Russell Rose, address unknown, who had notified the officers of the projected robbery and accompanied the other three so as not to arouse their suspicions.
The other two robbers were arrested. They gave their names as C.H. Burch, Middlesboro, Ky., and Thomas Alford, brother of the slain man. Chief of Police Ernest Thompson, who led the officers, said he believed the men responsible for several safe robberies here recently.

DEATH LEAPED OUT
WILLIAM ALFORD, “OYSTER BILL,” SHOT AND KILLED BY HIS STEPSON
William Alford, better known as “Oyster Bill,” died very suddenly yesterday afternoon. His end was that of a man who had lived a bad life. The fever of murder was upon him, when he was fatally shot. Razor in hand, he was threatening the lives of his wife, his step-son and his brother-in-law, when Andrew Kaufman, his step-son, shot him in the abdomen.
Even when the hand of death was upon him, he raged around and tried to kill. A remarkable thing about the killing was that no pistol as drawn. Kaufman aimed and shot through the pocket of his coat.
“Oyster Bill” was a notorious character, having served a six-year sentence in the Frankfort penitentiary for murder. When drinking he was a dangerous man and abused his family shamefully. For four months previous to the killing young Kaufman had not been on speaking terms with his step-father.
“Oyster Bill” had been on spree for the past few days, and as was his custom when drinking he had been abusing his wife and her daughter. Wednesday night he was especially quarrelsome, cursing and threatening his step-daughter until she was compelled to leave the house in tears.
Yesterday morning about 11 o’clock Alford came home after having spent the morning; drinking in the various saloons about town. His home is at 925 West Broadway where Mrs. Alford keeps a boarding house, known as the Union Station Hotel. In the front part of the building is a bar-room which s owned and operated by Charles J. Denzer, a half-brother of Mrs. Alford. It was in this room that the murder occurred.
In passing through the barroom on his way to the rear of the house, Alford spoke insultingly to Denzer, as was his custom. He then went back into the kitchen where his wife was at work. In a few minutes he was quarreling with his wife. The woman wished to avoid trouble and finally got her husband out of the room. He continued to tear around the house, however, cursing and swearing at every one with whom he came in contact. Occasionally he would go inside to take another drink, but he never failed to return and continue his drunken behavior.
Shortly before 1 o’clock, while Mrs. Alford was cleaning off the table, “Oyster Bill” came into the room. He carried a razor in his hand, which, when he got in the room, he placed in his coat pocket, so that his wife could see it. Then in a loud voice he said that he intended to cut his wife’s throat. As he started toward her, the woman ran out of the room into the bar. There she secured a pistol from behind the counter and awaited her husband’s coming. When he came toward her, Mrs. Alford fired at her husband. The bullet flew wild, however, and lodged in the wall. Alford’s attention was here diverted from his wife to his stepson….
Young Kaufman replied that he was not looking for trouble and stood with his back toward the wall and with his right hand in his outside coat pocket. The hand grasped a a 44-caliber Deringer pistol, which no one in the saloon had seen.
As the drunken man got within few feet of the young man the latter pointed the pistol, which he still kept in his pocket, at Alford, and fired. The bullet took effect in the abdomen….
“Oyster Bill” then staggered out of the saloon into the card room, where he fell to the floor, groaning in agony. A cot was brought into the room from upstairs, and the dying man was placed upon it.
By this time Dr. Cox, who lives in the neighborhood, arrived. Every thing possible was done for the suffering man, but it was seen that he was mortally wounded and could live but a few minutes. He died about 2 o’clock in great agony. He did not make any statement before dying, although he talked considerably at random.
Andrew Kaufman and his uncle [Denzer] went immediately after the shooting to the county jail, where they surrendered…. Kaufman was charged with murder, while Denzer was registered as accessory….
A few minutes later Mrs. Maggie Alford, wife of the murdered man, was arrested … [and charged with] accessory to murder. After hearing the testimony Judge Thompson ordered the woman released from custody. He said in explanation that she had had enough trouble without being arrested….
William Alford, the murdered man, although of good family, has a bad record, He was born about forty-three years ago in this city. Most of his life was spent in a two-story brick house at 1129 West Broadway, where his father, Jacob P. Alford, now lives. Alford has several brothers and sisters, who live at this house, all of whom are estimable persons.
“Oyster Bill” was a brakeman on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and early contracted a fondness for fast company. He sprang into notoriety thirteen vears ago, whe he murdered Frank Wheeler. This crime occurred on Lafayette street. Alford and Wheeler had quarreled about a woman. Alford went outside the house and waited for Wheeler. When he came outside Alford caught his enemy by the hair with one hand, while with the other he cut his throat from ear to ear.
The murderer escaped, and was not captured until six year later. At that time the late Detective Bligh recognized Alford in a Detroit, Mich., jail. He was brought to this city and tried, but owing to the fact that most of the witnesses had disappeared he escaped with a sentence of six years in the penitentiary. After serving his term Alford returned to this city. Six months ago he married Mrs. Maggie Kaufman, a widow with some property. Alford continued his wild career, and did not work any more after his marriage….

KILLED BY HIS STEPSON
A KENTUCKY DESPERADO SHOT WHILE TRYING TO STAB HIS WIFE
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb 15—William Alford, better known as “Oyster Bill,” a notorious tough and desperado, was shot and killed at 2 o’clock this afternoon by Andy Kauffman, his 19-year-old stepson. The murder was the result of an attempt by Alford to cut his wife’s throat, and the boy only fired the fatal shot when his mother’s life was in danger. Alford and his wife had a violent quarrel, which resulted in her leaving. She did not intend to stay away, but only wanted to give him an opportunity to become sober. She went to the home of her half-brother, Charles Denzer, who keeps a saloon at 925 West Broadway. Her husband learned where she had gone, and is said to have told several persons that he intended to kill her if she did not return. Shortly before 2 o’clock this afternoon Alford entered Denzer’s saloon, where Andy Kauffman, his stepson, and Mr. Denzer were seated near the stove. “Oyster Bill” and his stepson had had some trouble before, and as soon as the half-drunken man saw young Kauffman he demanded to know where his wife was. Finding her he drew a large knife and attempted to kill her. The boy ran to her assistance, and picking up a revolver from a shelf fired.

LOUISVILLE MAN SLAIN; NEIGHBOR IS ARRESTED
VICTIM’S WIFE SUMMONS AID, RETURNS TO FIND HUSBAND SHOT
Shot in the left temple, William Alford, 58, of 1448 Taylor Ave., Camp Taylor, a sheet-metal worker, was killed at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. A neighbor, Walter Mitchell, 59, of 1440 Taylor, a printer, was placed in jail by county police on a charge of murder.
The shooting occurred after Mrs. Rose Alford had fled from the house seeking help. She said Mitchell came into the kitchen and threatened her and her husband.
Patrolmen Lawrence Diehlmann and C.S. Stickler said they had learned that Mitchell went to the Alford home engaged in an argument over $70, arising from a real estate deal.
Mrs. Alford ran to the home of Mrs. Daisy Stickler, wife of Patrolman Stickler, who had recently moved into the neighborhood at 1441 Taylor.
FINDS VICTIM ON FLOOR
“Please come quickly, there’s a man at my home who’s going to shoot my husband,” Mrs. Alford said to Mrs. Stickler. Entering the house first, Mrs. Alford found her husband stretched on the kitchen floor. She ran screaming from the house and pointed out Mitchell as he was walking down the street.
Mrs. Stickler said she called county police headquarters and then, accompanied by another neighbor, started following Mitchell in her automobile. She said she saw Mitchell move a pistol from one pocket to another and remove a white apron he was wearing. At Lincoln Ave., Mrs., Stickler said, Mitchell was met by a man in an automobile and she immediately told this man, whose name she did not learn, of the trouble.
PISTOL IS EVIDENCE
When she told the motorist he could be held for aiding Mitchell to escape, he returned with Mitchell to the Stickler home to await the officers. Patrolmen Stickler and Diehlmann hurried from a picnic at St. Rita’s Church, Okolona, where they had been assigned on duty. Patrolman Diehlmann said that Mitchell had been drinking. The officers held as evidence a .32-caliber revolver.
When Mitchell entered the Alford home and started threatening, Mrs. Alford said her husband told him, “Why, you’re only kidding.” Mrs. Stickler also said Mrs. Alford informed her that Mitchell cursed them.
The police said two shots were fired, one of the bullets striking the oven of a cooking range in the kitchen.
Mrs. Alford explained that her husband had sold the property at 1440 Taylor to Mitchell’s brother, Robert A. Mitchell. The two Mitchell brothers lived together at the place. During the argument over interest due, Walter Mitchell shoved her against a table, Mrs. Alford said.
Besides his wife, Mr. Alford is survived by a brother, Frank Alford, and four sisters, Mrs. Louis Laeng, Mrs. Charles Marmillot, Mrs. Jesse A. Chappel and Mrs. Charley Kleyer, the latter of Cincinnati.

DAILY TIMES
Glasgow, Barren Co., KY—Tuesday, 8 March 2016
WOODBURN—One man is dead and two people were injured in a fiery car crash on Nashville Road in Warren County on Tuesday afternoon.
The Kentucky State Police Post 3 Bowling Green responded to a two-vehicle injury collision at about 4:10 p.m. Tuesday in the 11,000 block of US 31-W Nashville Road in Warren County that resulted in the death of one person, according to a KSP report.
The preliminary investigation indicated that William Alford, 60, of Bowling Green, was operating a white 2000 Chevrolet SUV and was traveling northbound on Nashville Road when it appeared that he crossed the center line of the roadway and struck a southbound vehicle head-on. That vehicle was a gold 2006 Chevrolet SUV and was operated by Amy McKeown, 37, of Bowling Green. After the vehicles collided, Alford’s SUV overturned resulting in him being ejected. His vehicle came to rest on its side and caught fire.
Alford was pronounced dead at the scene by the Warren County Coroner’s Office. He was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the collision, according to the report.
McKeown and her passenger, Dallas Thorton, 13, of Bowling Green, were transported by the Medical Center EMS to the Medical Center at Bowling Green for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Both were wearing their seat belts at the time of the collision….
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision and no further details are available for release at this time.
