B. &#8220;Happy&#8221; Chandler, one of two men to serve two separate terms as governor of the Commonwealth, came to Shelbyville in 1959 to help dedicate what was originally called Chandler Lake. Seated immediately behind him are Paul Ratcliffe, Rev. J. Edward Cayce, and Jesse Puckett. The name of the lake was subsequently changed to Guist Creek Lake following the election of Bert Combs as governor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>December 2 1959<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tags<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shelbykyhistory.org\/index.php\/tag\/government\/\" rel=\"tag\">Government<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shelbykyhistory.org\/index.php\/tag\/people\/\" rel=\"tag\">People<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Given to Jim Cleveland from Cleveland Photo Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portrait of the Past<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jim Cleveland Photo Collection ID ChandlerLake006<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This file may be downloaded for personal, research, or classroom use, free of charge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo of Governor A.
