Sorry I didn't see where that story had already been posted. I have always heard it was Russelville though and not Elkton. Elkton is so small I don't even know of an old jail that was there. Back then all the small towns had jails though so maybe it was Elkton. Hard to imagine but if Mortons Gap Ky had a jail I guess anything is possible haha. I have heard that story alot and locals always say it was Russellville Ky. Alot of times I have noticed people will say the name of the closest bigger town to one of the smaller towns because more people are familiar with the bigger town. That may be what happened here as well with the whole Russellville Elkton thing.

Cya
