On September 18, 2016, around dusk, my brother Larry Taylor was involved in a fatal accident. Unknowing to him, Amy Deweese and her family were following Larry out of Bowling Green heading toward Morgantown. They were maybe 3-5 minutes behind him. They did not know who was on the motorcycle, but they would have him in sight until he rounded a curve and for a few minutes he would be out of sight until they turned the bend and saw him again.

We the family of Linda Sue Nash would like to take time to express our sincere gratitude to our loving community for the outpouring of love and support during her time of sickness and passing. Thank you for all the acts of kindness, prayers, food, flowers, cards, visits and all the kind words that were spoken. A special thank you to the Kitchen Staff at Morgantown Elementary School, Butler County Food Services, Morgantown Elementary School, Templeview Baptist Church, First Apostolic Church, and Jones Funeral Home. May God bless each of you.

The Jetson Community Church opened its doors this year on June 1. The church meets in an unfinished building with an antique altar, providing plenty of space to worship. The congregation wants people to feel comfortable worshipping and to experience the love and unity they feel for mankind.  Pastor Kenny Raymer believes in getting back to the way church is supposed to be – a place to praise, worship and grow in grace. Approximately 70 people attend Jetson Community Church.
