Favorite old photo: Lyon-Beard Chevrolet 2012-01-11 - Court Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo from collection Larry Smith. Larry Smith, Historian & Operations Manager for Shoreline Communications' Big Dawg 99.9FM in Campellsville, KY, found this black and white of one of 20th century Taylor County's flagship enterprises, Lyon-Beard Co., the Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealership there. "The photo was taken in the 1960's, and I believe it was taken by Herman Ratliff. The car in the showroom would date the photo, I think." At the time, the business was operated headed by the late Winfrey Beard, who operated dealership with his sons, Louis Beard and W.R. "Dutton" Beard, both of whom are now deceased.
