JACKSONVILLE, FL - (Sat 1 Sep 2018) Fifth-ranked Lindsey Wilson football used a balanced offensive attack and a second-half shutout to beat host Edward Waters (FL) 50-13 on Friday night at University Christian Football Complex.

The Blue Raiders (1-0) racked up 555 total yards of offense -- 311 on the ground and 244 through the air -- to win their sixth straight season opener. While the offense was producing, the defense shook off giving up an opening-drive score to limit the Tigers (0-2) to just 97 yards and no points in the second half.

Darryl Smith: Found check to station in Calhoun Co. Iowa?

Darryl Smith writes:
Hi Ed. I'm going to speculate here and I may be way off; but I believe the check is made out to Cal Car Service, "Cal" as in Calhoun County Iowa where Lohrville is.

There is a Joseph Chessar Blair (1873-1953) buried in Lake City, Calhoun County, Iowa.

His father is from Fentress County, Tennessee and his mother is from Casey County, KY. J.C. Blair has siblings and children buried in Adair, KY, so there is a definite connection to this area. You can view J.C. Blair's memorial on Find A Grave, #80728362.

JIM: J.C. Blair, Adair Countian re-settled in Iowa twice

The check found at the Bowe Property on Bomar Heights, Columbia, Adair County, KY, has elicited quite a response. In this column, JIM has done a great deal of research on the who J.C. Blair was, about his two moves to Calhoun County,Iowa and his times in Adair County, and his final resting place and his wife's final resting places in Rockwell City, IOWA, the county seat of Calhoun County.
