Rachel Lyons: Memories of Laundry Days Seeing the old washing machine photo sure brought back lots of memories of washing clothes in her childhood in Southern Adair County, memories Rachel Lyons share in this great story of of many decades ago around Antioch Written after reading Strange Things from South End of Adair Co., KY By Rachel Lyons One glimpse of that old washing machine and memories flooded her mind, flashing scenes, from years gone by. In a time before running water in the house, but after electricity, doing laundry was still an all day affair. On that Adair county farm, the adults were up between four and five am. A fire was started in the cookstove and, if it was wintertime, one was started in the living room stove, too. Then the older children are awakened to help with the chores. It is a day of lingering sights, sounds and smells. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-07-19 17:39:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Stick Harmon was a great God-fearing man Jason Keith writes: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of "Stick." He was a wonderful man, and I have many fond memories of him. From him assisting me with ringing the church bell on Sunday mornings when I was too short to reach it, to riding in his convertible after church. The memories are many as, his daughter Debbie, my sister, and I spent almost every Sunday together. He was a great God-fearing man, and will be missed by many. I know that he is in the "home" he spoke of almost every Sunday, and will be looking down on upon us all. May God provide peace to his family in this time.Comments re article 45636 Arvist Lee Stick Harmon Glens Fork KY 19312011 2011-07-19 17:25:27 | Comments | Printable version

It's the Adair County Way. Please act today. -Ed Waggener By Cricket McCloud News from Kids Need Kicks (KNK) Many children don't have athletic shoes. While they may have sandals or flip flops, many simply don't have athletic shoes, especially new ones. Additional athletic shoes are also needed. When the students come to pick up assigned athletic shoes, they are fitted with the pair and often they don't fit properly. With an additional variety of shoes to choose from, another size or style of shoe is then chosen for the student to try on.

V. Kolbenschlag: Morgan did not burn Green River Bridge By Vonnie Kolbenschlag Here's just a quick note on the Green River Bridge that is being replaced. I knew from reading about the Tebb's Bend encounter with John Hunt Morgan on his longest raid, that the wooden bridge at that time, July 1863, was not burned. Morgan and his raiders had burned the previous wooden bridge during his so called Christmas Raid in 1862. In Campbellsville there is a large mural showing Morgan heading south toward Columbia. There is snow on the ground indicating winter. He was returning from burning many bridges and disrupting supply lines further north and burned the bridge over Green River at that time.
