a blacksmith shop and small dry goods store and grocery combined. The engraving represents the family going to church on account of her size and blindness, Keziah never rode on horseback, and there were no carriages, or at least very few summer, in the sleigh, drawn by a farm horse, in farm harness and ridden by the negro man Frank, as shown in picture. The church house is shown as it was originally in the country.

Clement Hearne was never happy after the death of his wife. A house was built for him in the yard of his son, Joseph, just across the road from his home, where he stayed, but went over to his old home nearly every day and remained during the daytime. This he continued about eight years, keeping everything at his old home just as it was while his wife lived. In the spring of 1851 his son Joseph sold out and removed to a farm he purchased near Lexington, Ky., to which his father, Clement, went with him, and again lived in a room to himself in the yard. The grief and depression from leaving his dear old home caused him to cease to want to live and he pined away and died July 7, 1851, apparently without any physical ailment in his eighty-eighth year.

Will of Clement Hearne, as copied from the records at Lexington, Ky. The seeming difference here made against his daughter Sally I can only account for on the theory that he believed she had received her full share in the negro girl given her by her grandmother Prisciilla, and the increase, which was considerable. Whether this belief was real or imaginary I know not, as I was only a small boy at the time, but I know that there was not the fullest cordial relations existing between Uncle Wasson's family and the old people and the others of the family on that account.

"Will: I, Clement Hearne, of the county of Bourbon and State of Kentucky, do make and publish this my last will and testament, as follows, viz.

1st: I desire that after my decease that all my debts and my funeral expenses be paid out of my estate.

2nd: That my land be sold by my Executors to my son Joseph Hearne at a moderate and reasonable price, the valuation to be made by my sons William and Burton Hearne.
