Joseph Parkey, upon return from the Civil War was at a country store. Two men by names of Sewell and Barnes became involved in a political controversy. Sewell picked up a rock and threw it at Barries - Barnes ducked, the rock struck Joe Parkey, who was talking to another man, in the head and killed him. Sim Parkey, son of Joe, upon his return from the war killed Sewell and fled to California. After a few years-in California he returned to Corbin, Kentucky. When this son went to California, all the people who went on his bond had to pay off the bond. While this son was in California he was in the gold field -working in the gold mines and sifting for gold, upon his return to Kentucky he was considered a wealthy man. He paid off all the people who went on his bond - plus interest with a little more besides.
