Asbury Theological Seminary

Asbury Theological Seminary was founded in Wilmore, Kentucky in 1923 by its first president, Henry Clay Morrison. Shortly thereafter, the school broke away from Asbury College and became a separate institution. Because of the close proximity of the two schools (across the street), similar name, and common theological heritage, many people confuse the relationship between the College and the Seminary. Today, there is no connection between the two schools. Succeeding Morrison as president was J.C. McPheeters, who was succeeded by Frank ...

Lexington was founded in June of 1775, 17 years before Kentucky became a state. A party of frontiersmen, led by William McConnell, camped on a branch of Elkhorn Creek at the location known today as McConnell Springs. Upon hearing of the colonists' victory at Lexington, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775, they named their campsite Lexington to commemorate it. Due to the danger of Indian attacks, permanent settlement was delayed for four years. In 1779, Colonel Robert Patterson and 25 companions came from Fort Harrod and erected a blockhouse. Cab ...

Kentucky was occasionally used as hunting grounds by roving bands of Shawnee Indians, but there were no permanent Indian settlements by 1750. Kentucky was owned by the colony and state of Virginia. For a while a few settlers tried to set up a colony of Transylvania with its capital at Boonesborough. After 1770, settlers from Virginia and North Carolina came through the Cumberland Gap. Kentucky grew rapidly and was the first major frontier developed west of the Appalachian Mountains. Guns enabled this movement westward, and even the term shot ...

Some historians date Orlando's name to around 1836 when a soldier named Orlando Reeves allegedly died in the area, during the war against the Seminole Indian tribe. It seems, however, that Orlando Reeves (sometimes Rees) operated a sugar mill and plantation about 30 miles (50 km) to the north at Spring Garden in Volusia County, and pioneer settlers simply found his name carved into a tree and assumed it was a marker for a grave site. They thus referred to the area as "O ...

Strickland ran in 1992 and again faced McEwen, a Hillsboro Republican who had defeated Clarence E. Miller of Lancaster in the nasty Republican primary by only 297 votes. (Miller's Tenth District was abolished by the Ohio General Assembly and combined with McEwen's Sixth because Ohio lost two Congressional seats following the 1990 census.) McEwen had faced charges in the primary campaign about his bounced checks at the House bank, his Congressional office expenses, and his overseas travel at taxpayer expense. Miller called McEwen "Pinnochio" ...
