This website is dedicated to the memory of Charles "Chuck" E. Wood
The 'Memories of Auburn' was the brainchild
of Charles "Chuck" E. Wood who was born in Auburn, KY in 1936. In 2001 he
commenced his work in developing "Auburn Memories" which he continued until
his death in 2006.
Charles through his kind and trusted friend
Roger "Dodger" Hollins indicated his wish to continue what he had started
for the future prosperity of the inhabitants of Auburn. Living away from
Auburn himself, he felt that there was no better way to keep the exiles of
Auburn informed than through the Internet.
I promised Charles
Wood, at his request, several months before he passed away, that I would
spare no effort in keeping this site up and running as long as I was able
to do so.
This Website is dedicated to the memory of
Charles 'Chuck' E. Wood (1936-2006)

An appeal by the late Charles E
'Chuck' Wood
"This site has been a
labor of love and I've enjoyed every moment that I've
spent building it. Probably the biggest pleasure I've
received has, becoming re-acquainted with many old friends
and acquainted with many new friends with roots in Auburn
and Logan County.
At Yahoo-Geocities, the host of this site, 15 megabytes of
disk space is offered for free if you allow advertising on
the site, and that's how we started. In less than six
months we passed the 15 megabyte mark and it started
costing and, by then, I was so caught up in the activity
and the positive reactions I was getting on this project,
I paid no thought to the minor cost and allowed them to
charge my debit card. Early in 2002 we passed the 25
megabyte mark and the price went up again and it's now
costing $11.95 a month.
Those wanting to contribute to the maintenance of this
site should mail a check payable to Auburn Memories"
|
That was Then - back in 2002-2003 |

Scroll Forward to 2009-2010 |
Those of you who follow Auburn Memories will note that in
the fall of 2009 the website closed down for a lack of
support. Please don't let this happen again - a
combination or many small contributions will make all the
difference in keeping it alive. At that time Auburn Memories carried pictures of
people and places only. I promised Charles Wood, at his
request, several months before he passed away, that I
would spare no effort in keeping this site up and running
as long as I was able to. Today we have expanded this by
combining two websites;
www.auburnkyusa.com
and
www.auburnkymemories.com to bring, not only pictures,
but a combination of history and pictures. Furthermore, we
have started to include the local cemeteries (including
monument pictures) and the Auburn High School yearbooks.
This is a continual 'work in progress' that will not only
take time, but oodles of megabytes.
We
are very grateful to those who have contributed including
one of the Auburn High School Classes. Their contribution
will help towards
defraying some of the costs of maintaining this site.
Thanking you
Dermot Foley

On the left is the old Auburn
(Cumberland Presbyterian) Seminary which was built in the 19th
Century. It later became the Auburn School and eventually the
elementary school. Center is the Auburn High School built in
1936 and later torn down in the 1980's. On the right is the gym
which had the same fate as the high school. The above photo is
available, beautifully framed, at Cox's Variety Store in Auburn. |
