"Barbourville Mountain Advocate Online"  Thursday, May 30, 2002 "Dixon beats Jorjani, Smith defeats West" ~ By Crystal Edwards The May Primary in Knox County concluded with several nail-biters, some upsets, and many surprises. . . In what was without question the hottest race on the Republican ticket, Incumbent David Jorjani was defeated by Charley Greene Dixon. Dixon came out the winner by 885 votes. He will face the unopposed Democratic candidate Randy Jewell in November for the office of county attorney. "My whole campaign has been about family and friends and that's just why I'm standing here the winner, but it is their victory as well," Dixon said. "My grandfather John C. Dixon always dreamed of me holding the office of county attorney and with his guidance and inspiration I'm well on my way to reaching that goal." | ||

Barbourville, Kentucky October 13, 1983 ~~~~~ CHESTER HUMFLEET HONORED AS KNOX COUNTY'S OLDEST ABLE-BODIED CITIZEN On Election Day, Nov. 8, Chester A. Humfleet will turn 94. Six years from then, he notes, he will turn 100, beating comedian George Burns by seven years. Mr. Humfleet was honored Friday night at the Boone Feast as the Oldest Able-Bodied Citizen of Knox County. Clinton B. Hammons noted that Mr. Humfleet still makes out his own income tax, follows the Atlanta Braves on TV to the point of saying, "when they lost, it knocked something out of me," and loves to recall the days of his boyhood in Knox County. Born in the county to William Harvey and Sarah E. Sprinkle Humfleet, he operated a farm at Knox Fork until World War II when he and his wife moved to Detroit where he worked as a tool and die maker for Chrystler Corp. until his retirement in 1957. After retirement, he and his wife returned to Barbourville to make their home at ...... with their double nephew, Claude and Mattie Humfleet. There they inherited grandchildren Janice and Charles Dixon, Maxime and Bob Jones, great-grandchildren Charlie Dixon, Stephen and David and Debbie Jones; and great-great- grandhchildren Danny, Dennis, Adam and David Dennis. Mr. Humfleet has been a member of the Masonic Lodge and in 1967 received a 50-year pin. He has been a Mason for 66 years. Mr. Hammons noted Friday night that "one of Mr. Humfleet's most outstanding characteristics is his kindness. He is always willing to repair a toy for a child or help in any way he can. He has made many close friends during his 93 years. He's very active physically and visits the nursing home daily where is wife now resides. He is an optimist. He looks up not down; forward not back; out and not in. He lives by this motto, "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows." The Humfleet forebears originally came to Knox County in 1811 from North Carolina and lived across the road from the Mt. Olivet Church. |
