Thursday, 24 July 1952Rev. Z. Ball, 93, Lee County's Oldest and Best Known Minister Passes To Reward Sun., July 22
Born near Louisa, Ky., Bro. Ball was the son of a Scottish Professor and cousin of the great orator, Henry Clay.
After a long life in the service of his Lord, Rev. Z. Ball, one of the best known and oldest ministers in Lee county - if not in eastern Kentucky passed on to his reward Sunday, July 20. Bro. Ball as he was generally known was 93 at the time of his death and for almost 70 years has been a minister in the Christian Church.
Rev. Ball started teaching when he was 16 and preaching when he was 23, in an interview about four years ago, he said that he had forgotten how many years he had spent in the schoolroom as a teacher but at the time of the interview, stated that he had been preaching for 66 years.
Bro. Ball was born near the Kentucky-West Virginia border and spent his boyhood around what is now Louisa, Kentucky. He sprang from an illustrious parentage. His father was once a professor in Glasgow University, Glasgow, Scotland, and his mother was a cousin of that noted statesman and orator, Henry Clay.
Bro. Ball once stated that his father came to America in search of cheap land. He found the land and bought up a huge acreage in Virginia. When the Civil War came along however, the fiery Scottish professor espoused the Union cause and spent four years in the Federal army. Then during the troubled reconstruction days following the war, he lost most of his fortune and again returned to the teaching profession.
As for his education, Bro. Ball received most of his schooling at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. He was a student in that institution at the time when James A. Garfield, who later became president of the United States, was head of the school.
Because of is colorful character and long years in the ministry, countless anecdotes concerning his work have sprung up around him. W.D. Lucas, and old, old friend of Bro. Ball’s tells that one day Bro. Ball was baptizing a man near the mouth of Frayles Creek. Among the bystanders, worshipers, and curiosity seekers always in evidence on such an occasion, was an overgrown bare-foot lad who was watching the event from a vantage point on tip of a high rock near the middle of the river.
As Bro. Ball led the man down into the water and started to administer the rites of baptism, the boy looked down and yelled, “Drown him Bro. Ball, Drown him, Drown him!”
Naturally this caused a disturbance and afterwards when several persons requested that Rev. Ball prosecute this boy for his impetuosity, he refused by saying, “No, no the boy was probably sincere in what he commanded.”
As minister and orator, Bro Ball had few equals among his contemporaries and it is said by those who were intimately associated with his life and work, that he married and baptized more people than any other preacher in Lee county.
In 1878, Rev. Ball married the former Miss Isabelle McCommis of Louisa, Ky., who preceded him in death in December, 1950. Before she died, they had the satisfaction of celebrating their 71st Wedding Anniversary.
Funeral services for Rev. Ball were held Tuesday afternoon, July 22, at the Beattyville Christian Church, with Rev. Wilson, Rev. Bill Warner, and Rev. George Botner officiating.
The survivors include four sons and four daughters. The sons are Calvin of Holly, Michigan, Boney of Tallega, Fred of Toledo, Ohio and Price of Pontiac, Michigan. Surviving daughters: Mrs. Ella Barker of Middletown, Ohio, Mrs. Rhoda Palmer of Tallega, Mrs. Mary Richardson, of Pontiac, Michigan, and Mrs. Pearl Palmer of Beatyville.
Burial was in the family cemetery near Monica with Congleton Brothers in charge.
The pallbearers were G. P. Congleton, Ervie Begley, Carlos P. Hall, J. G. Price, W. D. Lucas, Jewell White, J. M. Tharpe, and Wm. Cornelius.

The young man had been working for the railway company and was engaged in loading freight. The train bound for Jackson, and had backed up preparatory to entering the tunnel at Athol, when Bowman attempted to board one of the cars. His foot slipped and the train ran over his leg and arm.

He failed to rally, however, and it was thought best to bring him to this city. He was placed on the rain and arrived here at 6:05, being taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where his arm and leg were amputated. He continued to grow worse, and at 1 o'clock died from the shock.

The Lexington Herald (Lexington, KY)
Wednesday, 22 February 1956Beattyville, Ky., Feb. 21 - Two murder warrents were filed against 12-year-old William Brandenburg today but the boy who has confessed killing his father and brother appeared in good spirits as he lounged on his cot in Lee County jail.
County Judge Cecil Kincaid, the county's juvenile officer, said a hearing probably would be held Saturday for the youth.
The boy repeated to Judge Kincaid today the story of how he shot his father, Brack Brandenburg, about 65, and his brother Luther, 19, last Friday and then burned down his two-room home at Upper Buffalo in an effort to cover up the crime. The remains of the men's bodies were found in the ruins of the cabin.
The body, however, told conflicting stories about his purchase of moonshine whisky with $5 his nine-year-old sister, Hallie, took from a billfold in Luther's pocket after the slayings.
At one point he identified the man who he said sold him five half-pints of whisky and asked, "When will you bring him in here?" Judge Kincaid said the boy later said he did not get the whisky from the man he had named.
Meantime, the little girl, who staunchly defended her brother's denial of the double slaying until he confessed, went to the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Mattie Brandenburg, on South Fork about three miles from here. The children's mother died about a month ago.
Jailer Steve Moore said the boy was "eating good" and seemed content in a room at the jail but that he complained his head was "hurting" late today. Judge Kincaid took the boy for a walk and to his office where he told the youth he would call the doctor. The boy then told the judge he was "feeling better" and he was returned to the jail.
A suspect in the theft of some wire from a mine sharess the room with the boy. The theft suspect said the boy converses with him readily.
Judge Kincaid said four half-pints of whisky the boy said he bought were confiscated. The youth said he drank the fifth bottle he purchased. The moonshine was bought Sunday night, the youth said, when he spent the night at his grandmother's house. The boy and his sister had gone to their grandmother's place after the slayings Friday. The boy returned to Upper Buffalo Saturday and told an uncle he had returned home and found the cabin burned to the ground.
An arson charge has not been filed against the boy, Judge Kincaid said.
The boy and his sister were students at the Buffalo School - he in the fifth grade and she in the second - until they failed to return to classes after the Christmas holidays.
The boy was given no definite motive for the slayings but Judge Kincaid said he believed the youth wanted money the victims reportedly carried or had hidden. No money has been recovered.
Brack Brandenburg also is survived by another daughter, Miss Laura Brandenburg; three brothers, Jimmy Brandenburg, Beattyville; David Brandenburg, Lower Buffalo, and Jess Brandenburg, Booneville, and six sisters, Mrs. Ellen Biggs, Hamilton Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Fox, Ida May; Mrs. Addie Cole, Mrs. Lizzie Fox and Mrs. Christine Brandenburg, Lower Buffalo, and Mrs. Margaret Edwards, Zachary.

Friday, 30 March 1934Beattyville, Mar. 26 - Thomas Hendrix Brandenburg, 50 years old, State Highway maintenance foreman, was drowned in the backwater of Silver creek Friday night when his car backed over an unprotected embankment on the Beattyville-Irvine section of State Highway No. 52.
It was thought the machine went over the bank about 10:30 o'clock Friday night but it ws 2 o'clock before the car was found. the car was in the water with the front wheels on the side of the steep embankment. The headlights were still burning although under the water. A crew of men with a wrecker succeeded in pulling the car out aobut 5 o'clock Saturday morning, but the body of Mr. Brandenburg was not in it. A little while later it was discovered about 15 feet below where the car was found.
Miss Agnes Brandenburg, a 21-year-old daughter, said she dreamed that her father stepped up on their front porch and called her brother twice in a distressed tone of voice. Later when she awoke, she asked if her father had come in. She insisted that her brother, Hargis, go look for him. He found the car in the water about a quarter of a mile from the home.
From the position of the car when found, and the wheel prints in the soft earth of the embankment, it seems that Mr. Brandenburg was coming toward town and decided to back up to a side road where he could turn, but had his wheel cut a little instead of straight. Had there been the usual post and cable protection on this embankment the accident could not have happened. Saturday morning a coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning.
Funeral services were conducted at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon in the Baptist Church by the Rev. Arthur T. Tipton assisted by Rev. E.R. Sams, Irvine, and Rev. Luther Newnam. Congleton Bros. and Garrett were in charge of funeral arrangements.

Thursday, 26 August 1954With the passing of W. L. "Dock" Bush, Zachariah loses one of its oldest citizens, at the age of 83 years. Mr. Bush passed away 10:00 .m. Monday, August 23, 1954 at his home at Zachariah.
A native of Wolfe County, Mr. Bush spent his entire life in the vicinity of Zachariah, with the exception of a short period, when he was about 10 years of age. His father W. L. Bush Sr., along with many of the other families of his day, heard the call of the West, and upon the sale of his property and almost all of his personal belongings, the elder Bush with his family set sail by covered wagon for the untried west, upon reaching the Mississippi River he loaded his family aboard one of her passenger boats of that distant day and boated down the Mississippi river to Cairo, Ill., then across country to the state of Oklahoma. There his expectations were disappointed and the elder Mr. Bush turned face out and headed with his family to the place he had left (home). Back home again his son W. L. Dock grew to manhood, and at the age of 32 years he was married to Edna Townsend and to this union was given nine children, two of which preceded him in death.
Mr. Bush was converted to Christ at the age of 17 and affiliated himself at that time with the Christian Church, his interest turned to that f Spiritual values. His home became the lodging place for Ministers, Gospel workers, and just common folk who visited his community in the interest of Christian service. His table was his sharing place for all who came his way. His life commanded the respect of his many friends. He respected the cause of the righteousness and expected other of his community to do the same.
The last few years of Mr. Bush's life demanded much care due to his failing health, such care was rendered by that devoted companion who stood by his side 51 years, and by his no less devoted children.
With his passing, goes another chapter in our early pioneer days of this community, another page of a large book of real men of courage and rugged faith, and another witness of a lasting heritage which belongs to this generation, of freedom in the persuit of life's complete satisfaction.
