Massie and Montgomery sign $10 bill in local collection

By JIM

The $10 First National Bank of Columbia bank note carries the signatures of two Adair Countians, those of Bruce Montgomery (as mentioned under the photo) and of Braxton Massie (1854-1943), a native of Cane Valley who moved to Columbia in 1903, the year the bank opened.

Bruce Montgomery (1882-1973) began employment at First National in 1905. He was promoted to assistant cashier the following year and to cashier and vice president in 1907, capacities in which he served until being elected the bank's fourth president in 1941. He held that position until his passing in the spring of 1973, a few months over 70 years after he started working there.

Letter: Welcome to the Great Wooded South

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Ms. Gabdrakipova, we here in the Great Wooded South celebrate diversity. We may not always agree with others, even our neighbors. However, when one truly cares about others that caring spirit will shine forth like the noonday sun. The friendliness you are experiencing is genuine, the smiles you see are from the heart and we so very much cherish your kind words about our community and Lindsey Wilson College.

Welcome, and thanks for smiling back!
