We went as a family to tour the home as children in KY. Even then, I do not recall any talk of this. I very much enjoyed this blog.

He sold Rosebud Whisky; he was a distributor for them. This is where he must have come up with the name. I always wondered why it was called the Rosebud. I would love to have one of those Rosebud shot glasses.
