By 1912, Adair Civil War vets were passing away About: Scenic Taylor Co., KY, CFA Cemetery Row on row By "Jim" Candice Compton Robertson's "Row on Row" photograph of the Confederate grave markers at Tebbs Bend brought to mind the following, from a time when past differences could be forgiven and forgotten, as evinced by the closing sentence. This appeared in the February 21, 1912 Adair County News: Passing Away The ex-Federal soldiers of Adair County, and at one time there were quite a number, are fast passing into the other world. Last week we noticed eight or ten, at different times, on the Square, not one of them less than seventy-one years old...Of the ex-Confederate soldiers who went out from Adair county, only five are living. It is our wish that those who wore the blue and those who donned the gray may yet be permitted to live happily many more days. 2010-10-21 20:28:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

G. Crump: How I discovered Columbia . . . when Columbus didn't A Masterpiece a Must Re-Read for Lindsey Wilson Homecoming: 'Someday I must go back to Lindsey Hill.' A must read for Lindsey Wilson Students, Alumni, Friends. About Columbia and Lindsey Wilson in the early 1940's, 29 April 1970. It's an essay considered by many to the the best or one of the best ever posted on ColumbiaMagazine.com, written by Gordon Crump and first posted We post this story often. It was last on the front page of the site when Lindsey Wilson reopened its school year in August, 2010. Accolades continue to come to us. This week, while researching Cranmer Dining center for her Adair County High School Class of '55, 55th class reunion, Annette Richards accidentally found this story, first posted on CM. "It is a masterpiece," she said. "I'm not an alum," she said, "but I couldn't hold back the tears reading Mr. Crump's story. They were happy tears. A connection, knowing that he had those feelings about my hometown. When we hold our class reunion at Lindsey, I'll step over to that side of the campus to share the feeling he had when he looked out over Columbia." We agree with Ms. Richards. The memory is a masterpiece. Mr. Crump still lives in the Clay Ridge section of Adair County. He's a member at the Clay Ridge Grocery; messages and well wishes can be left for him there, in case you miss him when you visit. -ED WAGGENER By Gordon B. Crump, aka "Hermit in the Woods" hermit1@alltel.net Some days are meant to be memorable. The others shouldn't count against our lifetime. I don't remember who expressed that idea first, but I have made it my own.
