Daily News for Monday, June 20, 2016
Historic Turner farm to be auctioned Saturday The Late Orvis Turner house, located at 185 Denver Drive, Columbia, KY, will be auctioned on June 25, 2016. Orvis began a renovation of the family homestead in 1997. He passed away in early 2015, at the age of 79 (Obituary). The farm and house are just outside the Columbia city limits on Green Hills Rd., which runs between Fairground St. and Hwy East 80. The property has been in Turner hands now for approximately 110 years. In the early 1900's, the farm was purchased by John and Fannie Turner, who lived there with their 7 children. The farm at that time was well over 100 acres, consisting of what is now Green Acres subdivision and all lands extending to Highway 206.

Mike Watson: Sano/Santo name changes & county-jumping Not only was Sano at times Santo, but the post office there jumped the county Adair-Russell countyline on occasion, and there was once an Adair County School at Santo, taught by Mrs. Nora Bradshaw Comments re article 83913 Charles Marshburn asks: Why the change of Santo to Sano? By Mike Watson Adair County Historian Not only was this post office a name-changing one, but, like Tampico, was a line-jumping one as well. Santo vs Sano--The U.S. post office at Santo was established on September 28, 1894 in Adair County with William S. Rexroat as the first postmaster. This post office was quite close to the Adair-Russell County line. I'm not the expert on this section of the county, but do know that the general area is today known as Sano, not Santo. Postal records show that on December 19, 1896 Thomas W. Bryant was installed as the postmaster. This office was closed by the Postal Department as of August 20, 1898 with mail going to the nearby office at Gentry's Mill.
