His wife, Evelyn, was the daughter of Alice Miller Manning, who was born there in 1895. There's a cemetery in East Bend that is full of my ancestors, including another great-grandmother, Edith Hager Hodges, and a great-aunt, Carrie Hodges Ogden, who had a big farm on the river but sold it many years ago to the electric company. - Brad Hodges Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:58:28 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-459 That Herbert and Chester Elaine McGlothen was talking about was Herbert Ozier and his cat he called Mr Chester - Ron Stephens Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:47:56 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-456 My grandfather, Dillie Riggs was born in Rabbit Hash, KY in 1891 to Charles & Ida Mae (Love) Riggs. He had 2 sisters and 3 brothers that I know of, all were born in Rabbit Hash except the youngest boy (I think). My grandmother was from Rising Sun, IN. I have been able to trace several members of my great grandfather Charles family, but no information on Ida Mae (May) Love Riggs family, other than she was born in the area and married Charles. - Linda Sharkey Branigan Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:54:50 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-260 love old history - debbie Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:25:55 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-250 Hello all, I actually visited this site a couple of years ago looking for information about Rabbit Hash. My grandpa was born in Rabbit Hash in 1913. The family name is Rayls. I am not sure how long they lived in Rabbit Hash as they later relocated to east-central Illinois. Please let me know where to access more info regarding records. Thanks!

We are a small rural community 5 miles from Loch Ness in Scotland and our famous monster would make a great Provest (Scottish name for Mayor)!! Glad a sense of humor and good community spirt is as alive and well in the colonies as it is here in the old world. Good luck with the collie.

They did not leave their last name. I was wondering what their last names were and if they still have family living in the area. Thank you, Elaine - Elaine McGlothen Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:04:48 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-34 Terrie, you are so sweet! I almost feel like I have been to Rabbit Hash and down to the store. I would like to come to Rabbit Hash. I actually saw (and then bought) your movie Rabbit Hash - Center of the Universe and I was so delighted both by the town and the people that I have joined your Historical Society as a supporter. I really think you have the right idea. I live in the worst city in the country, Cleveland, Ohio. So Rabbit Hash looks like heaven to me! I have a plan to build a yurt down the road a piece. Hugs all round, Aileen Just wild about Rabbit Hash... Could we have the impeachment there? :grin - Aileen Terra Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:01:54 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-33 Thanks Aileen for your comments. I went on a trip to the northeast a few years ago and was so disappointed in not finding old general stores like ours in Rabbit Hash. I think I was working when you came in and was pleased you took interest in the little kids and their wonderful imaginations. I am glad you had a nice experience in Rabbit Hash and am thankful for people like you that can appreciate it. Hope to see you again.

I remember reading Zora Neale Hurston and her stories about the general store in another unique town in Florida that she grew up in and left in her mid-teens. It had so many kinds of activities going on...almost like a town crossroads. I really enjoyed seeing Rabbit Hash in the movie. I loved that the younger people had so many creative activities under the store. I hope to come back and cybershop. You have some wonderful things. You are some fascinating people. Wishing the whole town well... - Aileen Terra Sat, 30 Jun 2007 15:19:47 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-15 Beverly, Thanks for your comment. I hope you can visit one day. It will be worth the trip especially if your family is from here. Please feel free to call us at 859-586-7744 if you need more information or contact the "Rabbit Hash Historical Society" at www.rabbithashusa.com Thank you, Terrie - Rabbit Hash General Store Sat, 12 May 2007 06:39:39 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-14 I believe from old family pictures and history that the Rabbit hash General Store was at one time called Stephens Bros Store. Part of the Stephens family came west by wagon and as good merchants set up two other Stephens Bros stores, One in Sheep Ranch and one in Murphys CA during to gold rush. i am part of the Stephens family on my mother\\\'s side and grew up hearing my grandmother tell stories about the family and the civil war in that area. There was a Milton and Benjamine Stephens and Earl and Ray, my grandfater. Go to Murphys CA website and I believe there are pictures of the store there. The one in Sheep Ranch, run by Hayden Stephens is still standing but has been closed for many years. Would love to talk to someone about the Stephens family. there are still decendants in the Murphys area and yes, some of them run stores too. Hope one day to be able to pay a visit to where that part of my family originated from. sincerely Bev Tooker - Beverly Trackwell-Tooker Fri, 11 May 2007 15:24:12 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-13 Hi Tammy! What a coincidence... I just received two articles on the history of Rabbit Hash from the Historical Society and will get those up later this week. Glad you enjoyed what we have so far! -- Webmaster - Jeanne Sheridan Sun, 06 May 2007 23:07:56 +0100 http://www.rabbithash.com/about_rabbit_hash_general_store/then_and_now/our_history.html#comment-12 I enjoyed the article; however, I would love to know how I could learn more on the history of this town. My grandpa was born there in 1913. Any information is appreciated! - Tammy Sat, 05 May 2007 17:33:45 +0100
