History: Frontier Justice - How Pelham received its name Some may find it just coincidental - we think it's part of a vast eternal plan - that in the span of a few days, Prudence Hutchison Westholm has revealed the source of the name for the Hutchison Community (History: The story & Lineage of C.R. Hutchison & Sons), and today, Mike Watson details source of the name Pelham Branch and Pelham Branch Road, for the stream and the Highway which flow at the foot of the hill on which the Hutchison Community Church, the center of the village still stands Readers may remember that this scene was re-enacted in the Columbia Cemetery in October 2011 on the annual Ghost Walk, and about two months later at the Adair Public Library for a meeting of the Adair County Genealogical Society. Re-enacted by several Adair County residents, namely, one of the finest troupes to ever tread the boards: Barry Jones, Ken Hill, Kenneth Bennett, Gary Pike, Mr. Richard Phelps and Tom Gentry. By Mike Watson, Adair County Historian There are many, many beautiful spots in Adair County, or perhaps one could say there are very few ugly spots in Adair County. The area along Pelham Branch, as it has been known since (our) antiquity, has long been a tranquil region, often a place of contemplation. But that may not have been always so. Judge Rollin T. Hurt, famed jurist from Columbia, wrote of an instance of frontier justice at the hands of some of the earliest settlers of the area.

The dog and the woman became fast friends. But when the woman was taken to a convalescent home, Buddy became distraught. He worried and wouldn't eat. Then, on the day his friend came home, something dramatic happened - something which demonstrates just how strong the bond between dogs and humans can be.Click on headline for complete story and the rest of the story Next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tails: The Abandoned Aussies By Peg Schaeffer A couple from Vermont was in Columbia visiting relatives when they saw a dog eating out of a garbage can. The dog was skinny and not wearing a collar. They put him in their car and drove through the neighborhood looking for his owner. Where ever they stopped they got the same answer - he'd been seen wandering all week so apparently he was a stray. They called me about him. They couldn't take him home with them as their jobs with an airline had them away from home for long periods of time. Yet they weren't going home until they knew he was safe. I agreed to take him in and either find his owner or a new home. I named him "Hogan".
