Great Uncle Dusty Embry delivers heirloom

Grandmother Ondra’s brother Dusty Embry dropped by Sunday to meet his great nephews and present a gift, a 100 year old office chair. This chair had been his father’s (the boy’s great-grandfather Ozzy Embry), who acquired it in 1940 when he purchased the Breckinridge Banner. The newspaper’s previous owner, Jess Howard, said he purchased it from the estate of Henry Waterson and believed it was Waterson’s personal office chair. Henry Waterson (1840-1921) founded the Louisville Courier-Journal and served in the United States House of Representatives. The heirloom is in need of restoration, and will occupy an honored place in our home.
