By Pam Phipps
Teacher, Adair County Primary Center

Our community lost a dedicated and respected teacher named Kim Downs this week to a terrible disease, ALS. Unfortunately, over the past few years, our community witnessed the relentless disease take away Kim's ability to walk, talk, and eventually move any part of her body except her eyes, but she fought ALS with a fierce determination and faith until the end of her life. Our school community supported her as the disease progressed and eventually took Kim's life on Wednesday, May 3, 2017.

Next earlier installment:That magnificent voice: Rev. G.W. Perryman, Russell Co. KY - VI

By JIM

Bro. G.W. Perryman tendered his resignation in Norfolk in June 1914, accepted the call from Central Baptist in Winchester, Ky., in October, and removed from Norfolk soon thereafter. Immediately before he left the Old Dominion for the Bluegrass State, he was given "an elaborate public testimonial...in the form of a public luncheon" attended by many and presided over by the Mayor of Norfolk. The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, as quoted by The Baptist World, stated that "Few pastors of any denomination have taken so continuous and prominent an interest in public affairs...and this luncheon is given alike to him personally and to his efforts for the public good."
