Letter: In defense of Historian Thompkins Estonian on lam writes to defend comments of CM history contributor Comment on Unsigned letter from respectable, upstanding Adair County person, advising Mr. Uriah Thompkins that he was wrong To ColumbiaMagazine.com: It appears that Mr./Ms. Unsigned Letter, like most Republicans and many Baptists, simply doesn't get nuance. Mr. Thompkins reported two facts: 1) that Judge Garnett's grave marker gives his birth year as 1835; and 2) that the tribute in the Adair County News gave his birth year at 1834.

Looking ahead: A bike trail should be built around Columbia About: Looking back/Looking ahead To ColumbiaMagazine.com: After several days pondering about looking ahead, I came up with another idea: A bike trail around the city! A place which the entire family can enjoy without the threat of traffic. This could also be used for walking, and jogging. This may help to get people out exercising and enjoying the great out doors again. When we lived in Troy, Ohio we had a bike trail around the city.

Comments: Happy picture of boy and puppy About: Hunter Gabehart & Brownie To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Great picture. Both boy and puppy look happy. s/Betty Coop Thanks! The photo is one of our favorites. And isn't it important that you can look into the eyes and see happiness. Occasinally, we get pictures which have to be refused because it is evident from a pet's eyes, ears, tail and posture that the animal is fearful of the photographer or the picture makes one wonder if the animal might be mistreated. Thanks for noticing how great Debbie Cowan's photo is. Thanks for noticing the difference -EW 2009-01-05 06:46:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
More on the trees framing the Grand View of West Fork Road About: Grand view of West Fork Road By Billy Joe Fudge This picture is framed on both the left and right by Virginia Pine. Virginia Pine is often referred to as Scrub Pine. Virginia Pine is considered by most to be the only pine that is native to Adair and Cumberland Counties of Kentucky. There are a lot of different pine growing in our area now thanks to the Kentucky Division of Forestry which sells, among others, Eastern White Pine. There are two White Pine in this picture. They are just to the left of the West Fork Road and beyond the curve. If you look closely you can see that they are a little lighter hue of green than the Eastern Red Cedar that are scattered throughout the photo. White Pine according to most experts is the tallest species in the Eastern United States. It is native in some areas of Eastern Kentucky and I know where two are growing on a moist wooded hillside in Cumberland County that I consider to be native. One of them is easily 100 feet tall and over 40 inches in diameter. s/Billy Joe Fudge Thanks. We'll want to get photos of those two forest giants if it is possible -CM 2009-01-05 06:12:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Letter: Uriah Thompkins, AC News & tombstone all wrong Judge James Garnett born in 1834, relative says About: Uriah Thompkins is mistaken about Judge James Garnett's birth year. I have the book written by his son, James Garnett II, Judge James Garnett 1834-1905 His Ancestors and Descendants.He gives his father's birthdate as July 8, 1834, and said he lived to be "70 years, 6 mo. and 17 days." Mr. Thompkins, the tombstone is incorrect. Unsigned letter from relative Thanks. Mr. Thompkins says he got his information from the Adair County News, so he is only a very diligent historian. However, we would like to have accurate information on Judge Garnett. He is one of the truly great Adair Countians of all times. Our thanks to Mr. Saeli for the photograph of he snowy gravesite, to the relative who apprised us of the correct date, and, of course to Mr. Uriah Thompkins. Mr. Thompkins did not leave an address; the name could be a penname. Our staff linguistic analyst--no Dr. Dolittle, he--could only detect "what appears to be a distinct Russell County syntax, modified by Lindsey Wilson College, with, perhaps, some juxta-Canadian influences."--whatever that means. In any case, we hope we hear more from him from time to time. -EW 2009-01-05 04:13:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback Birthdays and Anniversaries for January 5 Happy Anniversary, Beth and Alan VanArsdale, (1993) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, David and Karen Grigsby (1990) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Donnie and Pattie Bunch | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Glen and Kathy Hunt (1969) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tracy and Malissa McCarol (1999) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Beverly Absher | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Blake Maulden (2007) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bradley Byrd (1992) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bryan Caldwell (1969) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Danny Waggener | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, David Smith | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Donna Redmon (1970) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Eva Cooley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Josh Bell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Landon Cook (2011) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lindsay and Lyle Miller (1990) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Pamela Taylor | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sandra Strong | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Rebecca Lynn (Beccy) Keith, Adair Co., KY (1977) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Jack Mullins, Adair County, KY (1934 | (Updates/Corrections) in Memory Birthday, Frances L.
