Joe Taylor ............................ flux is a bacterial disease Consumption is an old name for tuberculosis (TB) that describes how the illness wastes away or consumes its victims. TB is "an ancient enemy" that has plagued humankind for over 5,000 years. ............................ Received the news item below on 18 Feb. 2005, from Bill Morris, I felt this was the best place to keep it. Joe creason ONLY A few scattered foundation stone remain to show that a house once stood there on the gentle rise in what now is a large pasture about two miles off KY 70 In northern Butler County. And only a badly-weathered gravestone, now toppled from its base, offers evidence that eight persons are buried in a common grave at the site of the house. The names on the stone are almost indistinguishable today, but they provide mute testimony to the crime, one of the most savage in Kentucky history, that took place there more than 90 years ago. For on the night of Jan. 2, 1881, while the family of 10 slept within, the house was set fire to by vandals looking for gold coins. Wiley Embry, the father, and seven of his eight children burned to death. Only the mother and one child escaped. The house was destroyed and the next day neighbors raked up the ashes and buried them in a single grave in the still-smoldering ruins. The gravestone lists the names as Wiley S., Golson, Julen, William P., Mahula J., Bedford, Seamore and Morgan. No details are given, but by splicing out the folklore that surrounds the incident with a few solid facts, this grisly tale emerges: It was commonly believed locally that Wiley Embry kept bags of gold coins hanging from the walls of the house. During the night of Jan. 2, robbers slipped up to the house, anesthetized the sleeping family by blowing chloroform through the key holes stole the coins and then set fire to the place to destroy all evidence, Mrs. Wiley was able to escape with a younger child, Josie, before the blazing house collapsed, trapping the eight victims inside. The law being far away and detection methods primitive in those days, no arrests ever were made for the mass murder. According to one old wives tales years later a man who lived nearby confessed on his death bed that he and two others had committed the crime. ........................
