Sterling early Tuesday morning by Carl Stockdale, 24. The killing
occurred about 2:30 o'clock at the Miller Tire Station and Lunch Room
across Main Street from the old Beaumont Hotel. Eubank was said
to have been shot three times with a .38 caliber revolver. Two
shots took effect in his head and one in the abdomen.
Accounts of the shooting vary somewhat but it is generally
agreed that Stockdale was eating a "hot dog" in the Miller place when
Eubank entered and suggested that he take Stockdale home.
Stockdale, who was said to have been drinking, resented the offer and
started shooting. Eubank lived several hours after the shooting.
Stockdale escaped to the S. Q. S. road house at the east
end of Mt. Sterling on the Owingsville road and was later taken by Mt.
Sterling officers at the home of William French at Sewell's shop west
of Mt. Sterling.
Stockdale has a bad record, having spent the great part of

Earle Wilson Ginter
Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, June 1, 1939
Earl Ginter Killed Resisting Officers
Town Marshal Gregory Fires fatal Shot
Earle Ginter, 23 years old, was shot fatally here last
Saturday night when he resisted arrest by Town Marshal Ray Gregory and
Jailer Jess Jackson. A ball from the town marshal's pistol
entered Ginter's right side just above the hip bone. Taken to a
Lexington hospital following the shooting, he lived until late Monday
afternoon.
Following Ginter's death, Gregory was placed under arrest
by Sheriff Clark Rogers and lodged in the county jail. He was
released Tuesday morning under $10,000 bond pending his examining
trail, a date for which had not been set today because of the condition
of jailer Jackson, who suffered a serious injury to his hip in the
struggle with Ginter at the time of the shooting.
Ginter, it was said, was drinking and using rough and
obscene language on the street when he was approached by the town
marshal, who told him to go home. Ginter ignored Marshal
Gregory's request and a short time later was placed under arrest and
started toward the jail between Gregory and Jailer Jess Jackson.
As the three stepped up on the side walk
in front of the jail, Ginter broke loose from the two officers, knocked
Gregory flat on his back with a blow from his fist on one side and
Jackson
on the other, Jackson suffered an injured hip in the fall and was
unable
to arise. Ginter turned his attention from Jackson to Gregory and
as the latter attempted to get to his feet, made an effort to wrest the
marshal's pistol from its holder. Gregory beat him to the gun and
fired, the ball striking Ginter above the hip bone on the right side.
Ginter was sentenced to the penitentiary at the October
term, 1936, of Bath circuit court for three years for the killing of
his cousin, Sam Clay Ginter, near Kendall Springs in June of that
year. He was
released several months ago from the state penitentiary at Eddyville,
having
served his time. Since his return he had made his home with his
parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ginter, in this county.
Ginter's body was brought to Shrout, Piper & Shrout
funeral home here Tuesday morning, where it was prepared for burial and
later taken to the home of his parents at Kendall Springs.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Kendall Springs
church, conducted by the
Rev. Parks. Burial took place in the Kendall Springs cemetery.
Besides his parents, he is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
Sam Hornback, of Mt. Sterling; Miss Imogene Ginter, Cincinnati, and
Miss Anna
Pearl Ginter, at home; three brothers, Clyde Ginter, Bourbon county,
and
Charles and Ollie Ginter, of Bath county. Bath

Hester K. Maddox
The Owingsville Outlook Thursday, August 25, 1910
Little Hester K. Maddox fell asleep to awake with Jesus on
August 14, after a few days of suffering. All was done for her
that loving hands could do, but God wanted little Hester and He called
her home to be with her father, Elmer Maddox, who preceded her to glory
six weeks. Her sufferings are over, and she sleeps that sweet and
peaceful sleep of
the redeemed in Christ until he comes and gathers his saints home to be
with
him through all eternity.
Dear mother, weep not for little Hester; you know where to
find her. This is only a dressing room for eternity; and we ought
to praise God when he sees fit to call one of our little ones home, for
we know we can join them if we only live true to God.
Little Hester was born October 8, 1919. Her stay on
earth was short, but we miss her little form and sweet voice, and a
place
in our home is vacant. Oh, the long agony of separation; it is
awful
to stand in your misery fighting back death from the couch of your
child,
trying to hold fast the little one and see she is growing weaker all
the
time; to cry to god to help you and to the doctor to save your child
and
see that it is of no avail; and then to know that it's spirit is gone
and
you have nothing left but the casket that held the jewel; and that in
two
or three days you must even put that away. It's so desolate
sometimes
there are feelings of rebellion, and I resolve to feel differently when
suddenly I come upon some little dress, picture or shoe, and how all
the
floods of the soul burst in one wail of agony. Oh, my God, how
hard
it is to part; to close those little eyes that can never look merry at
your
coming; to kiss the little hand that can never lie upon your cheek, and
here
the voice say "Momma, I love you" and see those innocent eyes looking
into
your own and to think they are closed forever. But God knows best
and
doeth all things well. So dear mother, live true to God, and ever
be ready to join little Hester where parting is no more.
Look up, dear mother, above
Although the billows round you swell;
Is not your darling safe on high?
Can you not answer "Is it Well?"
Though we'll see her never more.
Her little form to earth be given,
She rests where pain and grief are o'er,
And you can meet your child in Heaven.

James R. (Junior)
McCarty
Bath County News-Outlook, Thursday, May 9, 1940
Man Drowned As Boat Capsizes
Junior McCarty Victim Of Motor Boat Accident
James R. (Junior) McCarty lost his life in the waters of
Slate Creek Sunday afternoon when a motor boat in which he, Roland
Armstrong,
Allan Steele and a four year old child of Armstrong's were riding
capsized,
throwing the occupants into eight feet of water.
The tragedy occurred at what is known as the "Boyd Hole" a
short distance above the barn on the Mrs. Belle W. Rice farm on the
Wyoming road, one of the longest and deepest holes of water in Slate
Creek.
While information as to just what occurred is somewhat
vague and accounts of the incident as told by Armstrong and Steele vary
in minor details, it seems that the boat, powered by an outboard motor,
either capsized on a short turn or struck some obstacle in the creek
and overturned. The occupants were thrown into the water and the
boat floated bottom side upward. Steele, and it is thought,
McCarty reached the bank while
Armstrong was still struggling to hold the child on the upturned
boat.
He called for assistance and Steele and McCarty started back to the
boat,
Armstrong and Steele succeeded in bringing the child to the bank but
when
they reached it McCarty was missing. Whether he drowned on his
return
to the over-turned boat or whether he drowned when the boat capsized
and
never made the bank at all is still a debated question.
His body was found about two hours later by a searching
party at or very near the place where the boat over-turned. He
still had
on his hat and one arm was drawn across his abdomen as though he had
suffered an attack of cramps.
The drowned boy was a son of Mrs. Motie Purvis Turner,
wife of Russell Turner, and the late James (Little Jim) McCarty.
Besides his mother, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Brooks Roberts, of
Owingsville.
Funeral services were held at the Turner residence Tuesday
afternoon, May 7, conducted by the Rev. W. H. Wilson, pastor of the
Methodist church. Interment was in the McCarty family graveyard
at Peasticks.

Mamma, darling, you have left us;
Left us, yes, forever more;
How we bare the pain and sorrow
God alone does only know.
Heaven now has our treasure;
Earth her lonely casket keeps;
But the sunbeams always linger
Where our dear Momma sleeps.
Momma is gone but
not forgotten;
Never shall her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts shall always linger
Around the grave where she is laid.
We shall miss her kind and willing hands,
Her fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without her;
We miss her everywhere.
One by one earths
ties are broken;
As we see our loved ones decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished;
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our
hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river
Wait our loved ones gone before.
