A former sheriff of Casey County

This photo of Joseph A. Bell is from the private collection of Charity Pendleton and was discovered among a collection of photos belonging to the late Sarah Ellen Bell Patton. An attached paper identified the gentleman as “The father of Robert A. Bell.” Mrs. Sarah Patton was a daughter of Robert A. Bell and a granddaughter of Joseph A. Bell, so it was a picture of her grandfather, a picture not seen for over 78 years but now brought to view!

Monarch Artist Feature: Wes Greer

With his debut album on its way, Wes Greer is taking his 30th trip around the sun seriously. After first trying piano and saxophone, he found his home in the drums in fifth grade. “It was all percussion from there on out.” Moving around in childhood provided him with many different teachers, diversifying his sound. “On my first day of eighth grade, my band director tells me to roll, and when I do he cuts off the band, freezes everyone and says, ‘Oh my gosh, he has chops!’ I didn’t know it was a good thing at the time.” It was there that the band people became his people, and he developed lasting friendships.
