History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 593. [Scott County] [Georgetown City and Precinct] L. L. HERNDON, father, P. O. Great Crossings, whose portrait appears in this work was born to John and Elizabeth Herndon, on March 29, 1811, his birthplace being three miles from Georgetown, Scott County, Ky. His parents were married in 1810, and his mother was a daughter of Major Rodes Thompson, of Scott County. His father was born in Orange County, Va., in 1870, and came to Kentucky about 1809; being an invalid, and coming with a few servants and but limited means, it was due alone to his great energy and perseverance that he achieved pecuniary success; from farming and the manufacture of hemp, which he began near Georgetown as early as 1835, being one of the first manufacturers. At the time of his death, which occurred in 1849, he owned several large factories. His wife bore him eight children, four sons and four daughters. Like him, she was a consistent member of the Christian Church; she died in 1832. Three of the sons are residents of Scott county, and one lives in Henry county. His father was again married, the lady being Mrs. Prewitt, of Woodford County; she bore him to daughters. L. L. Herndon was educated in the schools of this county; at twenty-one he began farming. In 1837 he went to Arkansas, where for a period of two years he was engaged in cotton raising. In his early life he, like his father, raised a few thoroughbred horses, but was never a turfman in the modern sense. He moved to his present place at the Crossings in 1850; this formerly was owned by Col. James Johnson. One day recently, while remodeling a building, a Georgetown newspaper, published in 1810, was found between the wall and the fire place mantel, and he sealed it up with others of later dates, returning them to the same place. Mr. Herndon has been extensively engaged in buying and selling real estate, at which he has been very successful, his operations proving lucrative. His present large estate has been acquired largely by his own sturdy efforts. Under the old constitution he was sheriff of the county two terms. In 1859, Mr. Herndon made a tour of continental Europe, in company with A. Keene Richards and L. L. Johnson, making the trip for pleasure, and the profit gained by observation.

THOMAS HUNT STUCKY was born in Louisville, Ky., March 21, 1860, educated in the public schools of that city, completed the course at Bethany College, West Virginia; entered the University of Medicine and graduated at Hospital College with one of the class honors; received the appointment of House Surgeon at Bellevue Hospital, New York, remaining, however, only six months, and resigning on account of ill health, caused by too close application to study. He then went to Europe and entered Strasburg University, remaining one term, a second and third at Leipsic and Vienna, and completing his course and receiving his degree at Strasburg. Returning to Louisville, he was elected Visiting Surgeon to the Louisville Hospital, and the following year to the chair of Materia Medica in the Louisville School of Pharmacy for Women, and in 1884, the chair of Surgical Pathology and Operative Surgery in the Hospital Medical College; also Physician for the City Board of Charity and Correction. Dr. Stucky is regarded as the most expert Microscopist in Louisville, having a rare tact for catching minute differences and great mechanical skill in preparing specimens. As a lecturer he is clear, distinct and terse, wasting little time on oratorical flourishes, but going at once to the gist of the matter and giving the student a distinct and clear idea of the subject without unnecessary verbiage. As a physician he enjoys a large and lucrative practice, which he justly deserves by his faithfulness to the best interests of his patients, being especially skilled in general surgery and diseases of the throat. Dr. Stucky is thoroughly devoted to the cause of professional education of women, and have repeatedly declined positions in other institutions which would have paid him handsomely in a pecuniary way, in order to give his time and efforts to this movement. Dr. T. H. Stucky was married, in 1883, to Miss Lanin Prewitt, of Clark County, Ky. Stucky Prewitt = Clark-KY WV NY Europe
