His contributions to, and life in Adair County James Woody was a graduate of Berea College. He settled in Columbia as a young man in the early 1940s with his wife, the fomer Emma Brenda of Ottenheim, KY, who was also Berea-educated. Both taught at Columbia High School, just a few yards from the home they built and where they raised their three children. Mrs. Woody was the school's German and Latin teacher, an he was the high school's Smith-Hughes Act vocational agriculture teacher. Later, he continued in the same position at Adair County High School, when Columbia and Adair County Schools were merged in 1954. He was a successful farmer, with extensive land holdings at various times, including a partnership in what was once considered the best of Adair County's Green River valley farms and owned, at times, other productive acreage in Adair County. Mr. Woody was manager and chief loan officer of Production Credit Association (PCA) in Columbia for many years. He was also a founding partner and long time owner, with Shirley Glasgow, of the Columbia Southern States store, Adair Farmer's Service, which continues to operate to this day. Perhaps Mr. Woody's biggest impact on this community was the role he played in helping to transform an Adair County farm economy from one struggling to survive on a single major cash crop, tobacco, to one which thrived with the growth of a dairy industry which continues to rank in the top tier of Kentucky milk-production counties. A Columbia street, Woody Avenue, is named in honor of Mr. Woody, his wife, and family.
