citizen?. Judge Board was born 'n this
county on the JJOth of November 1S28,
and died at the residence of his son,
Dr. Milton Board, In Louisville, on
Sunday, December 20th, 1912, being a
little more than eighty-four years of
age.
Judge Board was twice married, and
had six children, three of whom, name
ly: V. 12. andJJefferson, of Kentucky,
M. L., of Texas, belonged to the first
union; and R. V. Board, of Texas, Dr.
Milton Board, of Louisville, and Mrs.
Irene B. Hodge, of Marshall, Mo., to
the latter. His widow, nn elect lady
Indeed, survives her husband, having
lavished upon him unremitting atten
tion and care during the years of his
physical decline.
Judge Board was a man possessed of
abilities and qualities that were almost
unique. ills conversational powers
were exceptional, and he could enter
tain those who would gather around
him with his exhaustless store of fusel
natlng reminiscenses for hours a,t a
lime. Endowed with a wonderful
memory, he could trace the genealogy
of almost every family that has resided
within the boundaries of Breckenridge
county for three generations back: and

to assist in the empanelling of juries in
In the passing of Judge Milton Board, cnfces where It was of the last import-
of Ilardinsburg,, Breckenridge county tince that no juror should be of legal
loses one of its oldest and best-known relationship to the accused.
His historical knowledge of local poli
tics, and candidates for office made him
a local paragon; and he was the center
of a group of devoted friends who spent
the eventide of their lives In "living
over" again the imperishable memories
of the days of "auld lang syne," a
group which alas, is rapidly thinning;
one by one of them q detly "wrapping
the drapers of hib couch about him and
lying down to pleasant dreams."
In his beloved city of Hardinsburg,
with its quaint, a'most old world-like
surrouudings, and suggestive of that
princely culture of tho Kentucky of the
olden davs, the Judge will be 'misled;
and another of those "homes" the
priceless oases of the order changes
with his going. But the 'memory of
both shall abide forever.
Kor two years it was our great privi
lege to be the next door neighbor of
Judge Board, and the fragrance of thut
memory will remain with us uutil trav
elling days are done. His uniform
courtesy, tender bolkitude for the wel
fare of others and keen appreciation of
nil that was exc"eilent, made him one of
the most delightful men that it has
ever been our good fortune to know.
Others will write of my ascended
friend more eloquently, perhaps; but '

Great Alarm in Lowlands
of Hancock County.
Hawesville, Ky.,Jan. Jl The steady
downpour of rain the past 24 hours has
caused great alarm among the farmers
and people living in the low lands and
It is almost certain that great damage
will be done by floods. Blackford creek
is two miles wide and still rising, and
fear is felt that many of the bridges
will be swept away and the levees
greatly damaged.
Stock is being moved to higher
ground in both the creek and river bot
toms for .safety; and rural mall carriers
are unable to make their routes on ac
count of the high water. Three feet
more water will put the Ohio river over
the danger line here, and many fam
ilies are making preparations to move
if the rise continues. Some corn hns
been lost by farmers on account of the
sudden rise, and great damage will be
done to wheat in the bottoms.
The L., II. and St. L. railroad have
watchmen out both day and night at all
the bridges along here as well as nt the
Narrows above town, where they have
always had so much trouble on account
