We hope you add yours. Comments re photo 74572 MYSTERY PICTURE Who are these folks By Linda Waggener It's heartwarming to read the results of those who remember the little restaurant on the public square in Columbia, KY and the people who ran it and frequented it. Responses are all included since every guess we've received has been exactly correct, on identity, but each respondent has its own special memories, starting with this one: Phyllis Curry, and continuing to include all the others: I was not there when this photo was made, but I certainly have wonderful memories of Coomer's Restaurant, Nell's Variety Store, Wooten's Department Store, Lerman's and the many businesses located around the square in this era. Coomer's Restaurant, the delightful Myrtle Coomer, mother of Bea, Berniece, and Norman, and wife of Haskin Coomer. I am pretty confident the customer is Willie Nell, owner of Nell's Variety Store. The young lady is my good friend, Bea Coomer Beard, and the lady in the background is the matriarch of the Coomer family, Myrtle Coomer. - Phyllis Curry, Another of the Jamestown Hill gangAnd there's many more . . .
