Hello.My name is Joe Fondy, and I live in California.Last summer (1999) my daughter and I went to Fonde, KY to see if it had anything to do with my family.We found a book which said that the town got its name in the early 1900's when a carpenter working on the Clearfork Coal and Coke Company mine came to the Post Office every day and asked - "Any mail for Fonde?"I have no info on this man named Fonde - but would love to find out more.While I was there, I visited the Fonde-Pruden cemetary and found some Huddleston gravesites.My grandmother was named Ida Mae Huddleston, and her mother (Mollie Lou Laseman) was born around Pennsylvania, Kentucky.I'll list the gravesites in my next posting on GenForum.
