Logan Co., KY, Courthouse Centennial Celebration, 1904-2004
We are celebrating the anniversary of our present courthouse and have done research on the
court proceedings from 1792 through present. Caldwells, Ewings and Mauldings are of
special interest since those families were leaders in the settlement of our county and in
the formation of our first courts. Samuel Caldwell (1770-1835) was the first county court
clerk.
We had opening ceremonies earlier but are planning the closing ceremonies for the
courthouse anniversary during our Tobacco and Heritage Festival. Closing ceremony will be
on October 6, 2004, at 4:00 p.m. at the courthouse on West 4th Street, Russellville, KY.
We would like to invite any of the family interested in attending to be recognized at this
time. It won't be a large formal affair but will be a part of the local street
festival and usually a beautiful time in Logan County. If anyone plans to attend, we would
like to know about it so they could be recognized then.
Another activity the same weekend in which the Ewings especially would be interested is
the 9th annual Primitive Camp Meeting and Rendezvous at Red River Meeting House at
Schochoh, KY. This will be held October 8-10 and if interested, you should contact Tom
Ruley, 202 Morris Street, Franklin, KY 42134, 270-586-7632 or email at
backwoodsministry(a)hotmail.com or go to website at

At the revival, there will be Saturday and Sunday morning services at 10:00 a.m., history
lessons each day at 2:00 p.m. and church services each night at 7:00 p.m. There will be
many demonstrations for the public on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Contact him if
you are interested in this.
