James William Barnhill La Grange Oldham County kentucky

Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887,
Oldham Co.

JAMES W. BARNHILL was born in Oldham County, January 23, 1847, and is a son of Hiram and Margaret (Boyd) Barnhill, the latter a native of Shelby County, Ky. Hiram Barnhill was born in North Carolina in 1818, and came to Kentucky with his father, William, who settled in the southern part of Oldham County, participated in the battle of New Orleans, from which field he
walked home. The wife of William Barnhill, and grandmother of James W. Barnhill, was a Miss Ruth Boone, who was a native of North Carolina and a cousin of Daniel Boone. James W. Barnhill was reared on the home farm, and was educated at LaGrange. In 1885 he entered into partnership with George V. Barnhill, and established the LaGrange Woolen-mills. George V. died
August 28, 1886, and in March, 1887, Col. Charles C. Haelfling and Newton W. Ladd took his half interest. These mills have a working capacity of 115 pounds of wool a day, and employ eleven hands, the capital stock being about $4,500. In May, 1876, Mr. Barnhill married Miss Julia McWilliams, of Shelby County, daughter of Samuel and Martha A. McWilliams, and of the children born to this union five are living: Paul, Estelle, Katie, John D. and William Roy. Mr. Barnhill is still engaged in agricultural pursuits, and owns a farm of 110 acres between LaGrange and Ballardsville.

In Honor of the Late Rev Oliver Paul Barnhill THE BARNHILL TRIANGLE



The Barnhill Triangle Entrance

BARNHILL TRIANGLE


This triangle honors Reverend Oliver Paul Barnhill (d. 1934) who led the congregation at the Fordham Manor (Dutch) Reformed Church

Barnhill Triangle
This triangle honors Reverend Oliver Paul Barnhill (d. 1934) who led the congregation at the Fordham Manor (Dutch) Reformed Church from 1924 to 1934. Reverend Barnhill was born in LaGrange, Kentucky and attended, in succession, Poplar Grove Academy, Center College, and Princeton University, where he received an M.A. He served as an assistant at the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn for twelve years and as associate pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church from 1916 to 1923. Based on his credentials and what the New York Evening Telegram described as ¡§an exceedingly agreeable personality,¡¨ he was asked to serve as pastor of the Fordham Manor Reformed Church; he started on October 7, 1923.


Reverend Barnhill proved to be an able pastor. He was a moving and eloquent speaker, and had a knack for social organization. The church expanded with the purchase of the nearby Clarke house for use as a parsonage. The cost of this acquisition, however, drove the church into financial troubles. Reverend Barnhill led his congregation through the trauma of the Great Depression, but it proved to be his final task as a pastor. On Sunday, March 18, 1934, Reverend Barnhill gave what was reported to be a beautiful communion service, and subsequently died of a heart attack.


Barnhill Triangle sits on what was once a right-of-way for the Old Croton Aqueduct. The construction of the Old Croton Aqueduct was one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. The Croton river was dammed and a forty-one mile tunnel and bridge structure was erected for the project; it opened in 1942. The aqueduct allowed for further growth and development of New York City by alleviating two of the city¡¦s worst problems: fire and cholera. The abundant supply ensured that enough water would be available to put out fires, and stop the epidemics caused by contaminated water. Although it was built to last for centuries, the Old Croton Aqueduct served the City for less than 50 years. It was doomed not by its engineering or construction, which were both superb, but by its own success: the aqueduct enabled New York to expand so rapidly and so successfully that it was unable to provide enough water for the exploding populace.


In 1890, the New Croton Aqueduct opened (essentially a tunnel blasted through rock), which eventually replaced the Old Croton Aqueduct. The old aqueduct continued to deliver water to Manhattan, gradually decreasing flow until 1955. While the aqueduct itself is no longer useful, its right-of-way was turned over to Parks and remains some of the city¡¦s oldest parkland. The transfer of right-of-way was made under the condition that the land be used only for ¡§park and playground purposes.¡¨ To that end, shrubs and trees, including Callery pears and London planetrees, have been planted in Barnhill Triangle and benches invite passersby to sit and enjoy the greenery.


Recently, Barnhill Triangle was renovated as part of the Greenstreets program. Initiated in 1986 and revived in 1994, Greenstreets is a program that plants trees and shrubs in some of the city¡¦s smallest parks, squares, and traffic islands and triangles.
