The village of Lenoxburg was named in honor of Samuel B. Lenox who operated a general store in a little building now owned by Arthur McClanahan. This store was operated about 1850. Near this site C.H. and L.L. Lenox, grandsons of Samuel Lenox, now operate a general store. They occupy the present building owned by the Improved Order of Redmen but they are building a large, new, two story building on their lot almost opposite the location of their present store. When completed this new building will be used as a combination dwelling and store room. The firm of Hancock and McCarty is also located at Lenoxburg. From this one store the firm has gradually grown so that it now has eleven stores located at the following places: Flemingsburg, Morehead, Cynthiana, Mt. Auburn, Lenoxburg, Milford, Maysville, Olive Hill, Germantown and Berlin. These stores are operated on the Regal plan, and in connection with these stores the firm conducts a wholesale warehouse in Cincinnati. Mr. E.B. Hancock is the general manager of the firm.
