The Feedman writes: "Best guess on when and where photo was taken is 1905 at the Ben F Mattingly farm. Basing this on the age of Francis Edward Greenwell, who was born in 1890 and looks to be 14 to 15 years old in this photo. Richard and Mahala Greenweel were the parents of my Grandmother, Susan Bethane Browning. Richard served with distinction during the Civil War with the 10th Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, mustering out at the end of the war with a rank of " Wagoner ". The 10th Regiment waged war for the union for three years, ranging from its home state of Kentucky to Atlanta. The regiment began the war with with 867 men , suffered a 40% casualty rate at Chickamauga, and helped break Confederate lines at Jonesboro. At the end of the war only 140 men staggered home in victory. In old age Richard and Mahala moved to Louisville to live with their Daughters. Richard did not take well to life in the city...He commented " that he had to go inside for the bathroom and outside to smoke." Seen in the Columbia Magazine Group at Flickr.

JIM: Early mail delivery; the old stage coach; Mr. Rhorer robbed

There lurks in the musty, dusty pages of the News any number of gems worthy of the retelling to a new audience. Now and anon, this old blind hog from north of the Green River stumbles across an "acorn," but rarely one of such appeal as this amazing jewel from the December 29, 1920 Adair County News The piece is unattributed but may be the work of longtime News man J.E. Murrell, who was born in late 1849 or 1850. -Jim

"Jim"

Tales of long ago: early mail delivery to Columbia; implementation of the stagecoach line; and the great stagecoach robbery.

Before giving a history of this old time vehicle, we will give a little writing of how Columbians received their mail before the stage coach was introduced.

In 1854 the turnpike from Campbellsville to this place was completed, and a short time before that year our mail facilities were very poor and slow. Our mail from Louisville came via Elizabethtown, and from that point it came horseback twice a week. A mail once a week came from all the adjoining towns. Soon after we commenced receiving two mails a week via Elizabethtown, a semi weekly mail was started from Glasgow. We were a very small boy at that time, but we remember the carrier from Glasgow handled the Louisville papers which he received at Glasgow and peddled along the route between the two towns, and generally reached Columbia with several that he sold upon the square.
