Hi, my name is Maxine and I have 2 of your great aunts books about life in Kentucky. I
have enjoyed them and they have helped me in my genealogy research. My mom was born in
Evelyn Lee County, Kentucky. Across the river from Evelyn, is Ross Creek. The Ross Creek
area is where your Calmes line lived from the best I can find out. George "G.W.
Calmes who was married to Louvinia Sparks. George was supposedly a half brother to my
gggrandmother, Evaline Calmes McIntire. From what I can tell, Bernice Calmes Caudill was
the daughter of Jesse Calmes and Malissa Lucas. I have been researching that line as Jesse
was the informant on my gggrandmother's death certificate. I don't know if you
know, but I am interested in knowing where Jessie and Malissa are buried. I am also
interested in who Bernice married and where she is buried. She writes about Canyon Falls
in one of her short books. I would like to visit the area she describes in her book. When
I go home to Kentucky, I am !
always trying to find the old cemeteries so I can take pictures and document where
everyone is buried. I do have a few things I can share with you. You may contact me at
maxliv(a)att.net. Regards Maxine Livingston
