and his wife who lived in Trimble County, Ky., the Frankfort (Ind.)
Community Public Library is presenting a free exhibit of artwork by
Harlan Hubbard through March 23. The exhibit opened Jan. 5. The film

Many of the pieces have never been exhibited before, including illustrations
done for the book “Shantyboat” and watercolors created
