Photos		Ruth KY store This is a picture of the Ruth Ky store at Pitman Creek as it appeared about 1940 according to Harold Colyer who remembers it as a boy. Thanks to Harold Colyer for this photo. This store stood on the opposite side of the road from the Warren/Colyer house currently standing at Ptiman creek. This is the version of the store that was reported by Mrs. Iva Dean Ridner and Lyman Alexander to have been washed into Pitman creek in a flood about 1948. Somerset Journal: June 8, 1938 Half interest: John Alexander has bought a half interest in Elbert Alexander’s store at Ruth.

Ad Colyer also ran a store at Alcade, KY
Jane Holt Whitis: I think Add Colyer took over as postmaster at the Alcalde post office when my father sold the store there around 1952.

Dexter Alexander: Add Colyer was Ruth postmaster from 1937 to 1944. He took over from my grandfather, John E Alexander, who operated the store and post office beginning in 1925.
