Notes for Archibald Day
The Hazel Green (Wolfe Co., Ky) Herald of 17 May 1900 reported:

“Uncle Arch Day, who was probably the oldest citizen of Maytown, died at his residence of that place on Tuesday night at the advanced age of 87 years. He was a father of quite a large family, and leaves several grown children, among whom Judge Frank Day, of Mt. Sterling, and John and Jeff Day of Maytown.”

Maytown is a tiny rural community (population about 250 in the 2010 census) in Morgan Co., at the intersection of Kentucky roads 1010 and 946, about 16 miles southwest of West Liberty, and 1/4 mile from the Wolfe Co. line. The nearest real town is Hazel Green, in Wolfe Co., about 7 miles southeast. Since it is so close to the county line, people reporting their residence as Maytown may live in either county.
