General Tye King, formerly of King in the Mackey Bend area of Knox County, Kentucky, was interviewed at the home of Charles Reed Mitchell in Barbourville, Kentucky by his longtime friend, William Sherman Oxendine. The interview took place on July 10, 1991.
In the interview, Oxendine primarily focused on the military career of General (first name, not military rank) "Gene" King who rose to the rank of captain in the medical field during World War II. This included following Patton's army in his campaign across Europe, including evacuating casualties from Bastogne.
The spring issue of the Knox Historical Museum's quarterly magazine, The Knox Countian, is now available for purchase at the Museum in Barbourville or via the online Museum Store. The cost per magazine at the museum is $3 while the cost via the website is $3 plus 6 percent sales tax and a $1.25 shipping fee.

I am thrilled with Elmer's research and was able to get copies of the deeds referencing my 5th great grandfather and 4th great grandfather Dr Nehemiah Roszell (Derosel) and George Marshall because of his great notations! Thanks so much for all the work of all of you.
