Each month, The Kentucky
Explorer magazine receives literally scores of letters from
our faithful readers. Among those letters we often find queries,
ranging from requests for words to songs and poems to trying
to locate former classmates and military buddies of long ago.
Here are a few queries from May 2005
Bottling
Company In
Campbellsville, Kentucky
Dear Editor:
Does any readers of The Kentucky Explorer know of a bottling
company in Campbellsville, Kentucky?
I have an old greenish-tint bottle that has C. T. Walling &
Co. Bottling Works, Campbellsville, Ky., embossed on the side.
On the bottom are the initials C. T. W.
I am trying to find out how old this bottle is.
If any reader would have any information about this, please let
me know.

Wants
Christmas Song
Dear Editor:
I need help or information on a Christmas poem/song that my mother,
Delia Allen Saylor (1909-1984), used to sing to me when I was
a child.
All I can remember is "S is for Santa, that dear, gracious
man, who brings us all presents whenever he can."
I really enjoy The Explorer.

Wants
"Ground Cherry"
And "Touch Me Not" Seeds
Dear Editor:
I would like to have some old-fashioned "Ground Cherry"
seeds. Some people call them "Husk Tomatoes." I would
also like to have some "Touch Me Not" flower seeds.
If anyone has some to share, I will gladly the postage.

Does Anyone
Know How
To Rope A Trundle Bed?
Dear Editor:
I am wondering if any Kentucky Explorer readers know how to rope
a trundle bed. I have one that was my mother's, and she could
never find anyone who knew how to rope it, and neither can I.
Any help would be appreciated.
