PastFinders: The Funeral Business
June 14, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm CDT
Steve Ray will be speaking about funeral business in Western Kentucky. He’ll share about Busman’s Holiday, the funeral of Charles “Speedy” Atkins and other oddities.
The Southern Kentucky PastFinders, which has been around at least since the early 1980s, originally devoted itself to Civil War and other kinds of historical relic hunting. Through the years, it evolved into an organization devoted to the love of history in the region. Because of the Covid Outbreak, the PastFinders ceased as an organization. The Logan County Public Library is reviving it for the purpose of continuing the tradition of exploring the reasons why “all roads lead through Logan County.”
