Don and Brenda Richardson announce the engagement of their daughter Courtney Allison Richardson to Philip Cameron Sturgill, son of Ken and Leslie Sturgill, all of Georgetown.

She is the granddaughter of Lucille Stucker of Shelbyville, the late Gilbert Stucker, the late Howard Richardson and the late Hazel Richardson. He is the grandson of Tom Sturgill, D.J. Fendley, the late Pat Sturgill and the late Ken Fendley.

Sitting well back off of KY 55 just a little south of Finchville is a hidden gem of a home for history buffs. The Greek Revival-style home’s original front was built in 1837, and it became known as Sylvan Shades by its second owner.

“It was actually built by a man named Newland, and he sold the home to Thomas Doolan,” current owner John Test said. “After that it remained in the Doolan family until we purchased it in 1985.”

James Johnson, a correctional officer with the Kentucky Correctional Institute for Women in Pewee Valley, who was charged with sexual abuse of inmates last summer, next will appear June 17 for a status conference in Shelby Circuit Court.
Johnson had been scheduled to appear today before the schedule changed.

Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Melanie Carroll had said last fall that she expected Johnson to make a plea agreement with her office, but that arrangement has not materialized.
