Thanks for your reply.I wonder if the local historical society would be willing to take the lead to at least administer a fund and then we'd have a particular place, already established, to send the money.My Jennie Tye married a Blakely and they moved to Missouri.There was an old Blakely cemetery started by this family.A couple of descendants decided to set up a fund to keep up the old place and they got enough money (several had become quite well off) put away that the interest is enough to take care of it.There is a local bank that handles it.
About the house--that is so neat that you talked to someone who actually saw the house and was inside it.I have a copy of an old newspaper article that said it had been two large houses connected by a breezeway at one time (I think more than one branch of the family lived there in the old days).When the newspaper article was written with the accompanying photograph, just one half of the house was left, and I'll bet that's what your lady saw.
I'm still in mourning that the place no longer exists.If only I had known.I live even farther away than you, but I just think it was a big mistake for Kentucky to let that one go by.I would have asked all my relatives here and in Missouri to donate, and there are a lot of us.
Anyway, let's keep in touch.I think I might write to the historical society and ask their opinion on what might be done.Gail
