Juanita Nell 'Nita' Cornett was born on Christmas 1904 (December 25, 1904) to Clara Belle (Eversole) Cornett and William Manon 'Manon' Cornett. Clara Belle Eversole's parents were Joseph C. Eversole and Susan Combs Eversole. Manon's parents were Elijah Cornett and Jane (Combs) Cornett.
During her early years she grew up in Washington, DC because her father Manon was Chief of Staff to J.W. Langley (Kentucky Congressman). Manon left his Congressional job and became the Deputy Insurance Commissioner for the State of Kentucky in the early 20's and Juanita (and her brother Joe and sister Claribel) moved to Frankfort, Kentucky where Joe and Juanita graduated from Frankfort high in 1922. Juanita moved to Florida with her parents and then migrated to Miami taking a job at the First National Bank of Miami as a Savings Teller. There she met the department head, Arch Glass Mainous who was also from Kentucky. They were married on January 27, 1927 at First Methodist of Miami, Florida. In late 1927 (after the 1926 Miami Hurricane) both lost their jobs so they moved back to Kentucky.
Eventually, Juanita and Arch settled on Lexington, Kentucky and he bought stock in a newly formed Bank, Citizens Bank.
Juanita and Arch had three children: Joseph Edward Mainous, Sr (born in Miami, Florida in 1927 at Victoria Hospital), Jane Carol Mainous (born in 1932) in Lexington and Arch Glass Mainous Jr. (also born in Lexington).
Juanita died in 1990 and her husband of over 60 years followed her in death a few weeks later living the same house since 1938 (200 Shady Lane, Lexington, Kentucky). Burial: Hillcrest Memorial Park Lexington Fayette County Kentucky, USA
