Lost: One package in a gone blue car

2020-09-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy JIM JIM writes, "This 'Lost' announcement found in the June 24, 1930 Adair County News, is one of the odder ones I've encountered in that paper. At the time, Ms. Norene Garner lived with her grandmother, Matilda Grider, on Jamestown Street near the T-intersection of modern-day Hwy 80. She was a few weeks short of her 14th birthday."
