QUERY: Wants more information on Josephine Walker While working on a project, we are playing a little bit of a "history detective" role. With your vast readership, and so many folks interested in geneaology and history in our area, we were wondering if anyone has any information or photographs of a Ms Josephine "Josie" Walker (1896-1944). She lived in a little home on Greensburg Street (which is no longer standing). Her brothers and sisters were: Ellen Walker, Sophie Walker, William "Bill" Walker, and Hugh Walker (all lived and died in Adair Co). Niether her nor her four living siblings ever married or had children to our knowledge. All lived together and through time died, leaving Ms Josie as the last of the family. We have already gained a considerable amount of info from the Adair Public Library's genealogical section. Call or contact us at: 270-250-3778 or tiffhadley@hotmail.com Thanks in advance!! -Eddie & Tiffany Kessler 2012-07-09 13:02:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

She invites the public to be at the 7pmCT, July 10, 2012 Regular Meeting of the Adair Fiscal Court to let their feelings on the proposed tax be known. By Ed Waggener The highly unpopular move by the Adair County Hospital District and Spectrum Health Partners to impose a hospital tax to survive a sale of Westlake is far from a done deal. Adair County Judge Ann Melton, who has been studying the issue for weeks now, thinks a number of questions remain to be answered before such a tax could happen and she's asking the Adair Fiscal Court to approve a letter to Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway to clarify questions about the legality of such a tax.
