Historic Courthouse through wreath at Adair Annex



2011-12-15 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
Concept photo for a better photographer. I thought this scene, from through a door wreath in the Adair Annex was worth noting. CM would be highly honored if a real photographer took a more professional shot, with the steep better centered and in better focus. Still, it's a reminder of just how delightful Columbia is at this time of the year.- EW

This is such a nice picture of Nell. I spent half my childhood at their home visiting with Sheila. I thought of Sheila's parents as my second set of parents and loved them both. She will be greatly missed and my prayers are with her family. -VICKI BROCK MILLER

Query: Wants old Franklin family photos

Resubmitted with contact information: Other queries in CM Reunions

Chris Franklin writes:
QUERY: Wants old Franklin family photos I was wanting to put a request out to Adair County residents referencing any old photos of Thomas Jefferson Franklin died 1947 and Nancy Alice Tarter (Franklin) died 1941- both buried in the Columbia Cemetery. I also wanted any photos of his father Edward Franklin died 1915 and mother Jane Jennie Carter (Franklin) died 1916 - both buried in Tartars Cemetery. Any photos of Clark Franklin died 1890 in Gradyville and wife Mary Black (Franklin) - father of Edward is needed. Any information or family history any one has on this family would be greatly appreciated. I would pay any costs incurred by the individual for reproduction of photos. Let me know before hand, of course -CHRIS FRANKLIN chrisfranklin095@centurytel.net
Thanks Chris Franklin. And we're glad this worked out for you and we can repost. Quite often, we post with only a name, as might have been done 100 years ago in print, hoping that a few will know the submitter and contact anyway, or that the post will, as in this case, get an update on contact information. Thanks to Chris Franklin for updating. - CM
