Coomer family's experience at the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home David Coomer and Jon Coomer share their family's experience while their father, Willard Coomer, was a patient at the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home. By David Coomer and Jon Coomer Our dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, and he battled that as long as he could. We kept him home and took care of him as long as we were able to. His last treatments knocked the wind out of his sails, and he was hospitalized for a week. We did not think he was going to make it through that. We were faced with the decision of what we were going to do next. We started to look at long term care, because there was just no way we could bring him home, and there was no one we could hire to look after him. We were going to be discharged from the hospital, so the social worker there gave us some options and put us in touch with the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home.

Please be vigilant of these scams and do not reply to untrusted emails. Never give your personel or banking information over an email. If in doubt call the source and verify they are actually trying to contact you. It is unknown if it is connected to world events but it is likely we will continue to see a rise in cyber crime.

Old clipping on Big Creek Sabbath-School, Adair County Thanks to David for sending this article. Comments re: More on West Big Creek School, 1948-1949 and Mike Watson: A remarkable Sunday school By David von Rosenberg I found your article on the Big Creek Sabbath-School based on an internet search after finding the following undated, unattributed clipped article inserted in a family bible. The clipping could date from the late 1800s; the other item I found in the pages was a ribbon commemorating Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Letter: It's a small world Jada Foster writes: My daughters and I were coming through Cookeville, TN today and stopped at Walgreens where we struck up a conversation with a man there. He asked where we were from and we said Columbia, KY and he said he knew some fine people there. Ed and his brother Ralph Waggener. His name was Rich Buford.Jada, thank you so much for your letter and you are so right, it is a small world. This brings back wonderful memories of the Celina, TN Clay Statesman newspaper years. It was my first official editorship after having trained at the Edmonton Herald News while I was a Metcalfe County High School news writer and later worked part time while in college. Ralph Waggener had sold a business of his own and would become a newspaper partner and become its next editor and publisher and I hope he'll write about his years there. The way Columbians came to be in Celina was a story in itself. Ed partnered with his brother-in-law's brother, Jodi Richards, and they bought the EHN from its Greensburg owner, Walt Gorin. Jodi soon sold his part to Ed because he had to go on with his business and political goals in Bowling Green. Ed then partnered with his cousin Pete Walker who loved starting new businesses. He organized a meeting with Joe and Ida May Peak, owners of the Celina Globe, who wanted to sell their letterpress, tabloid weekly newspaper. They worked out of their two story home beside the Cumberland River. The trip for the final negotiations included Pete and his lovely wife Edith Cundiff Walker, friends and authors Henry and Janice Holt Giles and Ed and me. We made the journey to meet with the Peaks and learn about the opportunity. Joe shared that he traded his and Ida's leftovers to feed the pigs of his weekly columnist who'd pick up the hog slop and leave off his news. After their discussions and efforts to put monies together, he sold the paper, not the printing press nor the beautiful old home beside the river, I believe, for $2,000. It was the start of working with and getting to know many truly wonderful people in a beautiful area. - Linda Waggener 2022-03-21 09:51:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
