LETTER: Does anyone know more about the iron entryway to Columbia Cemetery?

  • The entryway, a gift of Mrs. Kizzie Russell, was "one of the nicest things Columbia ever had."
  • Information sought on Mrs. Russell, her gift to the cemetery, and the Russell Building

With all the recent talk of the Cemetery Road, I have been thinking about something my mother has told me about the original entrance to the Columbia Cemetery. Apparently at one time in the early 1900s, Mrs. Kizzie Russell donated an ornate entry to the Cemetery. She was the wife of Oley Russell, who built the Russell building on the Square. This ornate entry was removed when Campbellsville Road was widened in the mid-20th century.

My mother has told me that this ornate iron entryway was "one of the nicest things Columbia ever had."
