Letter: Bypass because people did not give up

Editor, CM

Columbia-Adair county now has a first ever four lane highway with stripes (First 4- lane HWY not counting LBN parkway).

The new section of HWY 61 south was being striped today. Anyone that has not seen it should drive out.

Also, as you know the bypass is on the way, thanks to a lot of people that did not give up but kept working for it.

Feedback: The hearse mystery solved

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com

Sorry folks, but the apparitions in the window of the hearse are not ghostly or paranormal, but the faces of my husband and daughter.

I mistakenly submitted the wrong full view of the hearse.

Mystery Solved.

My Father's Passion: the 1919 Reo Speed Wagon hearse

A fascinating heirloom brings back memories of an unforgettable Adair Countian, especially for his daughter . . .

"My father, Delmer Lee Burton, was known far and wide for his beautiful, lush, thick mane of white hair, his laughter, his great disposition and his joy of going barefoot everywhere" - Deborah Hensley

By Deborah Hensley

As a child, I grew being told this truck was a 1919 REO Speed Wagon hearse. One must take a closer look at this piece of history to really see the beauty of the detailed woodwork of the wooden swag curtains, the wooden rollers, and the childs wooden casket.
