CULLED FROM THE KENTUCKY PAPERS.
Of a Notable Family.
[Cynthiana Times.]
The Rev. Peter Elkanah Kavanaugh, who died recently in Henry county, was well known in this county in past years, having served as pastor of several of the country churches. He was a son of the Rev. W. B. Kavanaugh,
deceased, for many years a resident of Pendleton county, whose home --- the "Double Cabins" --- was noted for its generous and genial hospitality.
There were ten sons who wore the same size hat and boots, and their father used to tell how by buying for all at the same time he got wholesale prices. Three of the boys became ministers. "Dick" and H. H. Kavanaugh, Jr., died some years ago. They were the nephews of Kentucky's famous and eloquent Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh, of the M. E. Church, South, who got his start in life as a "printer's devil" in a Paris printing office. Their grandmother was the wife of the eccentric Dr. Thomas Hinde, of Newport,
who, being an infidel at that time, applied a strong mustard plater to his wife when she professed conversion and joined the church. The doctor afterward embraced Christianity, and became a valued church member. The
Hindes and their descendants --- the Kavanaughs, Poynters and others --- are conspicuous figures in the history of the Methodist Church in Kentucky.
