Mystery Photo ID 79376 : Mike Watson needs for 1913 LW Baseball Team 2018-06-21 - The Lindsey Wilson, Arbor Vitae, Columbia, KY - Photo from Collection of Mike Watson. Mike Watson wonders if anyone can identify the remainder of the team not identified in this old photo from one of the Waggener-Walker Newspapers published for Columbia - likely the Adair County News, the typography would indicate, or maybe the Columbia Statesmanor the later Daily Statesman. Two players were identified, front row, from left Will Diddle and George Hancock. Watson writes, "This photo of the Lindsey Wilson ball team dates from the teens.' Two players are identified, but need names of the other men if anyone in CM land can assist. Will Diddle, I believe, was Ed Diddle's brother."

Preliminary work is underway on Rollen Coomer Road Bridge 2018-06-21 - Johnson School Road, Gadberry-Fairplay, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Charles Marshburn, from the other side of the stream, sent a note, yesterday, June 20, 2018, asking if his neighbor's field had become "A Parking Lot for Old School Buses." After an intense interrogation, he sent a follow-up that the bus is an Adair County Road Department and that preliminary work on the Rollen Coomer Road Bridge is underway, inviting us to see for ourselves. This scene was captured after leaving. The bridge builders - the span is being built by the Adair County Road Department - were busy as beavers. Adair County Judge Executive Michael Lee Stephens said he expects the bridge, in Magistrate Sammy Baker's 3rd District, to be completed in as little as four to six weeks. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
