Local company's products...

 

When Cox Shavings opened in 1998, general manager Jim Noe was prepared to serve the needs of horse farms, dairies and chicken farms scattered throughout Kentucky and surrounding states.

He never expected the shavings produced in Campbellsville would one day line the dens of exotic animals such as lions, tigers and zebras. “I never dreamed that we’d be going into that,” Noe said.

But that changed when Noe got a phone call from one of his regular dealers, Metzger’s Country Store in Simpsonville.

In Memory: 25 Years Later

It's been 25 years, but they haven't lost hope that one day his killer will be put in handcuffs.

And it's that hope that keeps them coming back to Campbellsville each year to remember him.

Those passing by Ransdell Chapel on the Campbellsville University campus last Wednesday might have seen a swarm of state and local law enforcement vehicles. But they weren't there to investigate a crime.

The officers were there to remember one of their own, an officer who was killed in the line of duty more than two decades ago.
