Valley View Ferry Description An account of the resource The Valley View Ferry is Kentucky's longest running business having been founded in 1780 by the Virginia Legislature. Over the years there have been several boats and owners. Claude C. Howard who grew up near the ferry purchased it in 1950 and operated it himself until 1963. He leased it to other operators until 1991 when the Fayette, Jessamine and Madison County governments jointly purchased the ferry. Today it is being operated by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. <br /><br />The Claude C. Howard Collection provides an extensive history on the Valley View ferry. The ferry is Kentucky's oldest continuous business, and has run from 1780 to present. The collection has photographs of Valley View and the ferry from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Enclosed are letters and legal documents about the ferry, including deeds and lawsuits. During their ownership the Howards also collected newspaper articles, advertisements, and pamphlets on the ferry. For over 230 years, the Valley View ferry has carried thousands of people over the Kentucky River. It is still a cherished historic, and functioning, landmark of Kentucky. <br /><br />Only a portion of this collection has been digitized.

Conductor J. R. Pates, seeing the predicament in which his train had been placed , climbed a tell graph pole. attached an instrument to the wires and notilied the oper::ttors of Versailles and Irvine of his trouble. The engines were all at Irvine aud while one was being sent him he made a dicker with a farmer to feed all the passengers on his train. Soon the travelers were seated round a board laden with bot coffee, corn cakes, baked potatoes, eggs and meat. What they did to that lunqh was au elegant sufficiency, likewise to the basket of apples which was passed around after the meal. The engine arrived and shoved the disabled locomotive and her train into Versailles at 10:30 o'clock. VERSAILLES, 1 terrific rain stonn passed over the eastern portion of Madison county and part ol Estill Thursday afternoon. It was in the nature of a so-<'al led cloudburst; the rain fell in torrent s deluging the face of the e11rtb and making raging torrents, dangerous to life, from the unlinary rivilet, which tri"kles musically, on its way to the sea. A house is reported to have been waslled away at Little Rock, on Drowning Creek. Numerous slides occurred on the railroad. Beyond a few casualties to property and stock no harm was done, other than washing away the soil from the plowed fi elds.

Mr. 'L'llOs.

AMSDEN -+-- Passes Away Monday Ni1ht-A Great Loss to the Commtnity. The death of James P. Amsden took place Monday night at twenty-five minutes past eleven o'clock, at St. Joseph' s H os pital in Lexington. Mr. Am sden was ta ken sick while on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Haggin, at Green Hills , abo;1t two weeks ago, and was removed to St. Joseph's Hospital, as it was then thought an operation might be required. His condition was at all tim es very critical, but some hopes of his recovery were entertiined until a day or two before his death. He had a complication of diseases, but the . immediate cause of death was pu eumouia. All of his family were with him when he died. James P. Amsden was born in Ver• sailles in January,1847, and had lived here all of hiR life . As a boy of fifteen, he joined the Confederate army, serving in Company I, 2nd Kentu cky (Morgan's) Cavalry, under Col. Breckinridge. That he was a good soldier , in s pite of his tender years, is evider, ced by the following extract from a Jetter written by Col. Breckinridge in 1862 to a gentlemau in this county upon the death of the latter's son: "I confess to an uncommon interest and affection for him a nd his brave young mess-mate, Amsden ." From his young manhood the subject of this sketch was cashier of the Bank of J. Amsden & Co., established by his father, and harl contributed very largely to its s uccess. For many years, prior to the adoption of the new constitution, he served as Chiarman of the Board of Trustees of Versailles. Mr. Amsden was president of the Louisville & Atlantic Ra,ilroad Company, and in his admini stration of that property, showed the same marked ability that characterized him as a banker. The Joss suffered by the business interests and public affairs of Versailles and Woodford county in Mr. Amsden's death, is very great. He was not only une of the a blest bank· ers in the State and a man of great wealth, but his sound, keen, conservative judgment was of inestimable value to mauy men who relied upon his coun sel and many enterprises made possible by his aid. His final opinion on a business proposition was practically unerring. He was a man of strong family affections and kindly feeling towards his fe}l••wmen, but of very great re1 l ct e:enerous acts in relieving su ering were performed by him of whicl;I il'le world never heard, and this was always his wish in such ma.ttere.~ · everal winters ago, having given a~ay ' two carloads of coal, he said to an official of the L. & A. Railroad: "I have bought another car of coal, and want to give it to somP. poor people who need it. Won't you please select them. Don't Jet me be known in the transaction. n He was exact and inflexible in business, but no human suffering that was presented to him failed to touch a chord of tenderness and compassion in his heart. He WAS n. very modest man, and much preferred th_a t the direction whence assistance came should be unknown, rather than suffer the embarrassment of receiving thanks from the object of his bounty. Mr. Amsdeu's word was as good as his bond, and once passed, was never broken. He despised dissimulation, and either spoke frankly and to the point, or remained silent. A pathetic feature of his death, almost as sad as the grief of the wife who iuolized him, and who hung over his sick-bed every hour of his illness with unspeakable agony, is the separation of two brothers between whom the warmest affectior> and closest relations existed, and who from boyhood had lived in a comradeship that knew no hours of estrangement. Who can know save those who have suffered it, what it means-this snapping of a tie that h as existed for a lifetime in undiminished strength, that stretches I back to the earliest memories of childhood, that links the dim past and its tenderest recollections to the present . "O, memories, 0, past that is." A. A. B. Mr. Amsden's surviving relatives are his wife, his daughter, Mrs. Jean Moberly, his step-dau ghter, ~Mrs. J. B. Haggin, and hi s brother, John L. Amsden, president of the Bank of J. Amsden & Co. The body of Mr. Amsden was brought to his home in Versailles Tue3day morning. , The funeral services. will be held this (Thursday) morning at the residence at eleveu o'clock. The burial will take place in the Versailles cemetery. The pall bearers will be: Senator Blackburn, Judge R . L. Stout, Judge A. E. Richards, of Loui sville, and Messrs. Louis Mars hall, J. N .

Upon the report of that committee being received it was decided to quarry long stone sillls and Jay them In parallel lines, as the tracks o! modern roads run. The siJJs had a trough abou t four inches wide and as deep cut in their faces and a long the edge of these troughs the iron rails were to be laid and spiked down with iron si:ikes which fitted into holes In the stone and were afterward soldered. The iron rails were about as wide and as thick as a heavy tire o.:i a f.:>ur - horse wagon. '£he road was to extend from Lexington to Portland. It was at first built only from Lexington to Frankfort and was known as the Lexington & Frankfort, and later as the LouisviJle, Fra nkfort & Lexington, when it was extended to Loulsvme. The cost of building the Lexington & Ohio road ,from Lexingt on to Portland was estimated at only $1,000,000. This amount was soon s11bscribed, and the contracts were let tor 'building the road ·f rom Lexington to Frankfort. THE FIRST "TIE" LAID. The dlrst stone s111 of the road was laid October 22, 1831, at Lexington. The following article appeared upon the follow1ing day In the Lexington Observer, descriptive of the greait occasion: "Three military companies were formed for esc,ort duty, and marched to the college ,grounds, where th ey met the various societies and individnals. A pI'ocession then formed In the following order: Col. Leslle 'Corobs, as ,Marshal, and J. R. Coleman, as aid, on horseback; Major General Pendleton and staff on horseback, field officers and staff on horseback; -0ffl.cers o! the llne on toot, Capt. 'nut's artillery In 'Platoons, Gov.

Hall, off! ~vnlan, Judges Underwoo Court f A.,>peals · I well then delivered an address , after which the crowd dispersed and the cere• monies were brought to an end." Work upon t,he road was continued steadily, but very little progress was made on account of t he great difficulty in laying a soHd road ·bed. The contract was given to Holburn & Benson, who, s,ays the contemporary histor'ian, "received great praise for executing theiI work so faithfuJly, and in a style and beauty and elegance which excite d t he admiration of all who examin ed it." THE FIRST TRIP. It was not until the late summer of 1832 that tl1e fir st " splendid car" was run over a mile and a half of road then c ompleted and the !'oad was forma lly opened. "The car,'' says the historian above mentioned, "left !ts moorings at 12 o'clock with ,a bout forty people aboa rd, among whom were Gov. ),[,e tcalf and other distinguished persons." By the 1st of January, 1833, six miles or road were completed, and a car made two trips daily thereon, •h orses drawing the ca r. The Lexington Int ell igencer of January 27, 183B, said of the r oad: "We cannot refrain from congratulating our ,fellow citizens of -the town and adjacent country upon .the new and briltiant prospects which the railroad and introduction of steam Dower have opened to us. It Is the beginning of a new era in Kentucky, and to this part of the Union, an era in wh ich the population of the interior country may and will enjoy t he commercial facilities which have hitherto been the exclusive property of the oeaboard and river population.

Lilly was born in Estill County on February 27, 1865. He was son of Colonel Henry Clay Lilly, a circuit judge of the Irvine district and a colonel in the 14th Kentucky Calvary, United States Army, during the Civil War, and Catherine Tracy, a member of a pioneer Pennsylvania family whose descendents moved to Kentucky. Anna Dudley McGinn Lilly was born on February 27, 1872, in Maysville, Kentucky, the daughter of the Reverend John Bolivar McGinn and Mary Elizabeth Sheppard McGinn. She spent her early life in Versailles, where her father was minister of the Christian church. On October 19, 1893, Grant E. Lilly and Anna D. McGinn were married in Versailles. They had one daughter, Austin Page, a son John Marion, and a younger son, Grant Lilly, Jr., who died at the age of 12 in 1916. The Lillys spent their formative years in Richmond where Mr. Lilly practiced law, engaged in numerous civic activities, and participated in several local political campaigns. Mrs. Lilly devoted considerable time to civic duties also, including affiliations with the Woman's Club and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She also served as editor of the Kentucky Register newspaper and began to develop a strong allegiance to the Democratic Party. During the 1920's and 1930's the Lillys, having moved to Lexington, became more active in politics; especially Mrs. Lilly. She campaigned for women's political rights, civic reforms, and recognition of Kentucky's unique historical heritage. The collection also contains some information about Miss Austin Lilly's long tenure as a teacher in the Lexington public school system. Thus the Lilly Family Collection documents the contributions of a civic minded Central Kentucky family and also offers a glimpse into their personal lives.
