Some of the Cooks at the Circle R
2023-10-24 - Columbia, KY - Photo from Harper Family Collection
A scrapbook display from the Harper Family includes photos of Mrs. Dowell, Mrs. Doris Johnson, and another cook at the Circle R Restaurant. You can see the display now at the Trabue Russell House. It provides a unique look back at a Columbia institution, still missed by many. Mrs. Johnson's son, Robert, says, "My mother worked at the restaurant for many years as a cook, and I would like to think that she played a small role in the near legendary status of the great food and service that could be enjoyed at the Circle R."

Lonnie Collins writes: I found this old photo in my Collins family album from an old Kentucky Explorer issue. The photo is dated ca. 1900.
I've been keeping up on the Columbia Magazine articles. My side of the Collins family were longtime residents of Adair County and Glensville/Glensfork since the early 1800s. Many are at rest in Grant cemetery and Ragan cemetery.
