And

He
hopes to see his Pilot face to face
When
he has crossed the bar.

* 1920
has to be a typo. In 1920 he would have
been around 13 and Ethel around 11.
** The
rest of the obituary was missing from my copy.
Also I could not figure out why some of the addresses had little marks
like apostrophes behind them, like 322'A
W. Fourth and 322'/2 W. Fourth St.
Does this mean 322 and a half Fourth Street?

In
loving memory of our Father, George M. Christman, who passed away in March,
1957, and our Mother, Celia Christman, who passed away in August 1971.
What would I give if I could say
Hello Father and Mother in the same old way,
To hear their voice and see their smile,
To sit and chat with them a while.
.
Their gentle face and patient smile,
With sadness we recall,
They had a kind word for each of us
And died beloved by all.
.
It broke our heart to give them up,
But they did not go alone,
The greatest part of us went with them
The day God called them home.
.
It doesn’t matter where we go,
And no matter what we do,
There will always be something
To make us think of you.
.
Looking back with special memories
As life’s weary road we trod,
We bless the years we had with them
And leave the rest to God.
.
We still wander out the road
To the graves not far away
Where we laid our beloved ones
In the last few years.

Sadly missed by son, Clarence Christman, and daughter,
Estella Baker.

In
memory of Lucille V. Elliott, our mother, who passed away three years ago
today, December 5, 1971.
We
did not know the pain you had
Or
hear your final sigh,
We
only know you went away
Without
a last good-bye.
.
God
gave us the strength to face it
And
courage to bear the blow
But
what it meant to lose you Mom
No
one will ever know.
.
Some
may think we have forgotten
When
at times they see us smile,
But
only God Knows the heartache
That
we bear all the while.
Missed

In
loving memory of my father, W. G. Marty, who passed away twelve years ago,
November 24, 1962.
We
cannot bring the old days back,
His
hands we cannot touch,
But
we treasure loving memories
Of
one we loved so much.
.
We
often sit and think of him
When
we’re all alone,
For
memory is the only thing
That
we can call our own.
.
They,
who think that he is gone,
Because
no more his face they see
Are
wrong for in our hearts he lives
And
always will, in memory.
.
Treasured
thoughts of him so dear
Often
brings a silent tear
Those
who loved him only know
How
much we lost twelve years ago.

In
Memoriam
In
loving memory of my dear husband, Adam W. Miller, who passed away March 29,
1966.
Fifty-two
years we spent living together, we were content, some were happy, some were
sad. To live them over, I’d be glad. It’s a lonely world when you’re all alone,
when there is no one to share every sorrow and care, when there’s no one to
greet you at the close of the day. The sunshine may come in your heart but
never to stay.
It’s a
lonely world when you’re all alone, that’s the way my world is since you are
gone, there is no way to count the tears I have shed, and the nights I have
been blue, dear, just thinking of you. There’s a bridge that leads beyond this
world of time and space, through a green and peaceful valley to a lovely
dwelling place, where our loved ones find true joys that never end, across the
bridge that leads beyond the peaceful valley bend.
Sadly
missed by wife, Letha Miller and children.

family, the days of wondering have reached well into the thousands.
There have been few days, to be honest, he hasn’t given some thought to his sister, Cheryl
Lynn, and what happened to her that summer day back in 1974.
The lingering questions and lack of
closure continue to haunt the family: Who killed Cheryl Lynn Strother and why?
The last time anyone saw Strother, 17,
she was leaving summer school classes at North Hardin High School.
That was July 24, 1974.
A month to the day later, she was found
dead on Fort Knox. But it was more than that — she was found tied to a tree at
Tobacco Leaf Lake on Fort Knox property. She had been brutally stabbed to
death, reportedly 47 times, her brother, Ken said. He said the family heard she
also had been mutilated.
“It is important for us to find closure
just as it is important for anyone else to have closure,” said Randall Milks,
Strother’s stepbrother. “To know. Not to put it behind us because that could
never happen, but simply having some answers. Even if the guilty person is dead
and gone, just knowing would bring some bit of peace of mind.”
Strother’s disappearance initially was
a missing person case handled by Radcliff Police Department.
When she was found, the case turned into a
new and puzzling investigation.
With her body found on a military post,
the death investigation was handled by federal agents. The case went from the
U.S. Army’s investigative unit and then to the Federal Bureau of Investigations
in Louisville.
“As the weeks
drug on I saw Mom deteriorate with worry and heartache,” Milks said. “And I was
in the room when she received a call telling her Cheryl had been found. Her
screams and her crying was the worst thing I could ever imagine ever hearing.”
Ken Strother was 19-years-old and
stationed in South Carolina in the U.S. Navy when his sister was found dead.
“When I received the call her body had
been found, our whole world stopped living with nightmares about what had been
done to her,” he said.
Strother said he’s not positive, but he
said there was some talk his sister may have been pregnant when she was killed.
“It’s just a tough thing to deal with
all of these years and not knowing anymore than we do,” he said.
Cheryl was born in Elizabethtown, as
was Ken.
When their stepfather retired from the
U.S. Army at Fort Knox, they decided to stay in the area and make Radcliff
their home.
“I was 11 years old. Cheryl was my big
sister, my protector, my playmate and my friend,” Milks said. “She took care of
me in so many ways and stood up for me against anything that threatened me. No
matter if that was a bee chasing me in the yard, a dog chasing me on my bike, a
bully down the street. It didn’t matter, she was
always there for me.”
As the hours turned to days in her
disappearance, the worry mounted.
Then came the
news she had been found in woods by a lake.
“I wasn’t there when we found out that
they had found Cheryl,” Strother said. “But I know my mom,
she really never got over it. Nobody did.”
Years passed and nobody has been held
accountable for Cheryl’s death. It was then, and still today, an unsolved
mystery.
There have been a few glimpses of hope.
After a 2009 story on the unsolved case
in The News-Enterprise, retired FBI Special Agent Tom Becker revealed in a
follow-up story he knew who killed Strother, though he couldn’t prove it. He
was assigned to the case in 1974 and told the paper, “I know who did it,” he
said then in an article. “I just don’t have the evidence.”
With no charges filed against his
suspect, Becker would not provide a name.
Becker said he interviewed the suspect
in hopes of getting a confession to no avail. Milks said Becker has since died.
Two messages sent to FBI media
relations in Louisville seeking comment for this story were not returned.
Strother said it’s been about 20 years
since they last spoke with anyone investigating the case.
“Over the past four decades there have
been so many advancements in technology related to criminal investigation,”
Milks said. “So often you read articles and see television programs of
homicides that were solved because of this new technology and processes that
they have. And we cannot help but wonder why none of this has been applied to
Cheryl’s case.”
He said the FBI,
“has given up.” He said he is angry about the lack of communication in the
case.
“Cheryl will never be forgotten,” Milks
said. “We speak of her often we talk about memories and probably the thing that
breaks my heart the most is when I hear someone say Cheryl sure would’ve like
that when we were talking about horses or a beautiful country scene. We all
miss her dearly and we always will.”
Strother is buried in the Bee Spring
Missionary Baptist Church cemetery in Edmonson County, next to her mother, who
died in 1993, and Ken’s son, Nathan, 7, who was beaten to death in 1984 by a
teenager.
Cheryl Lynn Strother would be 63 today
if she were still alive.

should contact the FBI at 502-263-6000.
