Morris Hoover, Thank you so much for sending in the photo of the Miller Hotel. I lived there with the owners, my grandparents Owen Icy Rowe. You know me as Patty Rowe. I grew up there and later worked in the Coffee Shop. At that time my aunt Ceola ran the restaurant. I have good memories at the hotel. I remember you worked as dispatcher for the Taxi Cab Co. run by the late Vanis Coomer. Then there was the Margie Ann Beauty Shop in the back, which was operated by the late Glenna Williams and Evelyn Ray. Lots of great memories! --Patty Rowe Nall

I used to get my hair cut at this barber shop when I was growing up. I would walk to town from school every other Friday to get a burr hair cut.I would wait in the shop until my Dad could pick me up. I got to hear all the town news while waiting for Dad.

I did this until I started to high school in 1963.

I always tried to get in Johnnie's chair because he always gave me a nickle to spend afterwards.

Johnnie was Gilliam's brother and part owner of the shop. -Richard Draper

When I moved here three years ago, I had problems with ATV riders using my creek as a passageway, and actually had a "confrontation" with a group of riders at one point. They don't come here anymore. ;) I'm not against ATVs; I own one myself. FYI: If the vehicle (ATV, boat, etc) in/on which a person or persons is riding floats, then that waterway becomes a public right-of-way. If the vehicle touches ground beneath the water (either in the middle or on the sides of the waterway), then that person is trespassing. Also, landowners have a legal right to fence into or across a waterway in order to water their livestock. Tampering with livestock valued over $500 is a felony, therefore, anyone compromising the integrity of that fence would also be committing a crime. - Donna Rieder

Who operated the restaurant on the corner of the Miller Hotel and what was the name of it and who ran the barber shop, I also remember the taxi cab service was operated out of there. This was one great historical building that we hated to lose to the fire. I would like some info. if possible on the remaining buildings in Columbia. They hold so many memories. Thanks so much. - Rita Smith
