Woman Refuses $6400 Damages Payment After Dam Project
An elderly Paducah woman refuses to cash a $6,400 check from the Army Corps of Engineers for her home razed by the Barkley Dam project. Miss Rahe Williams, 75, lives on $88 monthly Social Security and says she signed papers under duress in 1958. She co-owned the 135 year old house and 60 acres with her sister and vows not to acknowledge the government’s right to seize her property. She criticizes the Corps and links the issue to a symbolic black fur coat with a white stripe.
