The Captain Jacob VanMeter Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution welcomed five new members into its fold Friday morning at the Brown Pusey House in Elizabethtown, four of which represent three generations of the same family.

Elizabethtown resident Charline Akins; her two daughters, Christy Bennett and Cathy Reas; and her granddaughter, Kelly McManus, were sworn into the DAR during a ceremony Friday, where they were bestowed with pins and flowers.

Hodgenville police are investigating what may have been an attempted child abduction.

Chief Steven Johnson said he received a call Monday from a woman who said her son was walking after school on  South Lincoln Boulevard near Citizens Union Bank in Hodgenville when a tan GMC truck stopped near him.

The 12-year-old boy told his mother the man driving pulled the truck up to the curb but didn’t roll down the window. Then, he started signaling for the boy to approach, Johnson said.
