It is not known for which of the county’s several prominent Andersons it was named. Samuel Anderson was a pioneer preacher; James B. Anderson (1808-1867) was the director of Owensboro’s first bank(established 1850); and the brothers T. S. and W. K. Anderson, also bankers, served many county farmers.

New page

The community of Red Hill is about fourteen miles from
Owensboro and was first known as [[Andersonville]]. The [[Andersonville]]
post office was established in 1892 and discontinued in
1906 when mail was sent to [[Utica]]. The community is centered
near the cross roads of Red Hill-Maxwell Road and Highway
140 in the southeastern section of the county.

===Early Settlers===
Some of the early residents, and most noticeable family names, around the area
include, and are not limited to, the Yeisers, Salmons, Cundiffs,
Hoovers, Johnsons, and Parks.

===School===
There was a school house in Red
Hill located near the crossroads and was named Red Hill School
House. It educated many generations of young people in the community
throughout the years until it closed. In 1886, the teacher
at the school house was Miss Mollie Dalson. In the late 1800s,
the school house was also used by the Elders Daniel E. Yeiser and
B.Y. Cundiff to hold church services. These services were held
until September 9th, 1893, when members from [[Sugar Grove Baptist]],
[[Green Brier Baptist]], and Oak Grove Baptist Churches came
together and formed a new church in the neighborhood. This new
church would be called [[Red Hill Baptist Church]], after the school
house nearby.

===General Stores===
In 1886, there was one general store owned by
G.O. May, and later in the twentieth century, there were two general
stores directly across from each other. One was owned by the
Salmon family and the other by Homer Cossler. These two stores
formed an interesting business partnership. When one store did
not carry something the customer needed, they were sent to the
other store for what they needed. Salmon’s store shut down in the
early 1950s and Homer Cossler’s store closed in the late 1960’s
or very early 1970s. Red Hill was also home to William Harold
Riddle, better known as Hal Riddle. Riddle was a Hollywood star
and part of the movie industry in Hollywood and a part of Broadway
Theater for years, and is best known for his role in Little
House on the Prairie. Although the community is not as vibrant
as it once was, it is still alive and well in the memory of those
who grew up and lived there.
