This is a local history of a small farming community, Sulphur Well, in Kentucky seen through the eyes of a correspondent to the Jessamine Journal from 1887 to 1905. It contains the ancestry of the Miller and Hendren families and their close relatives in that community, and their burial sites. It also describes travel and westward migration of Kentucky families to Oklahoma around the turn of the 20th Century, and how politics, religion, and education worked in a small farming community. Correspondents for local newspapers filled a need to tie individuals to their own and other communities. In this time people traveled more, read more, wrote more, and thought more than most people today would believe. The more isolated communities and individuals were, the greater their need to connect with others outside those areas. Village correspondents met that need by personalizing local events, telling others of residents' visiting relatives, attending expositions, working, suffering hardships, enjoying milestones such as weddings and births, as well as grieving over family tragedies. People in other communities, and other states were interested in these events.
