Baby So Soft campaign will help Kosair newborns Mother's experience there moves her to help mothers who cannot afford the softer blankets which are more comforting to the precious new ones - and to their mothers, who are are stressed for worry over their 'little miracle babies' By Monica Rodgers-Shuffett It is hard to fathom how much a blanket can help a baby, but believe me - it really does. My son, Avery spent 4 weeks at Kosair Children's Hospital. During our stay- I would sit at the hospital for 14-16 hours per day. I would wrap my little Avery in his own soft blanket and cuddle up to him. He would sleep soundly while I cried and rocked him. The blanket was as much comforting to me as it was to him.

Walter Murley: Some flags around Columbia, KY need attention To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I have noticed several American flags around Columbia needing attention. Flag at City Hall needs replacing and the one at the old courthouse is tangled in the rope. I have also noticed several at different places that need attention. Springtime is just around the corner. If people could check their flags and replace them if they need attention it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. s/Walter R. Murley 2010-03-09 15:58:02 | Comments | Printable version
Gentrys Mill is a few communities NE of Youngs Mill About: Map of Adair Co., KY sparks interest in Gentrys Mill To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Youngs Mill was located in closer proximity to Ozark and Joppa than it was to Gentrys Mill. I am not as familiar with the community of Gentrys Mill but it is a few communities northeast away from Youngs Mill. Someone had misidentified the Freedom Cemetery as being located in the Gentrys Mill community on Findagrave.com. It is my understanding that the Freedom Cemetery is located in the Freedom community which is near Roy, White Oak, and Ozark. Freedom is located closer to these communities than it is to Gentrys Mill. s/E.H. Lepiarczyk II 2010-03-09 15:45:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Wants to know more about community of Tarter, Adair Co., KY About: 1897 Map of Adair Co., KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com: This 1897 map is a wonderful artifact of Adair County's geography and history. It is interesting to note the changes of spelling of communities in over a century's time! Many of the spellings of communities in 1897 are not standard contemporary spellings of the same communities. I would like to know where the community of Tarter in Adair County was located. No one with whom I have spoken knows anything about this community. I presume the Tarter community was located in the proximity of Ozark. s/E.H.

Letter: Security rules on car keys at ACJC needs re-thinking Letter: Security rules on car keys at ACJC I think need re-thinking The prohibition on taking keys in the building presents serious problem to unaccompanied drivers going to new Courthouse to get Driver's Licenses I was at the new Adair County Justice Center the other day to get my driver's license renewed. The facility is truly beautiful. I do, however, have issues with the security rules: No guns, knives, lighters. Ok, that is one rule I agree with completely. I think cell phones should be turned off instead of left in the car, but I can live with that one too.

Mike Watson offers possible source of name for Craycraft, KY About: Craycraft, Adair Co., KY, Near Oak Grove, Ozark, New Concord By Mike Watson Why was Craycraft so named? In searching for community and post office information for An Adair County, Kentucky History, volume 1, which included many locations in the county, I was unable to determine exactly how the post office came to have that name. One theory is that it was named for a local farmer, Charles Craycraft, who married in Adair County to Florence Bryant in 1883. He was born in Greenup County, KY in 1840, and died in Schuyler County, Illinois in 1920, a veteran and pensioner of the Civil War. It is interesting to note that on the marriage record in Adair County, Charles' age was listed as 22, but all records found give his birth year as 1840. Florence was born in 1865 and was living in Dakota County, Nebraska in 1930. They had four children, three of whom lived: Lyman, William, and Carlie. -Mike Watson 2010-03-09 10:11:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

1897 Map of Adair Co., KY sparks interest in Gentrys Mill About: 1897 Map of Adair Co.,KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Thanks to Gene Jessee for that map, it is amazing to see what the towns and sites were called over 100 years ago! One thing that intrigued me was Gentry's Mill. To me, that looks like it would be about the same site as Young's Mill? In "The Brier Domain", the book written by Charles Garnett Young, Sr., he says that the Young's Mill was built during the civil war - which was 1861-1865, right - and originally built by William F. Montgomery and his brother Quintillan. It was William F. Montgomery's daughter who couldn't find any white flour in the community to bake her wedding cake, and so the legend goes that her father built the mill. But, where was Gentry's Mill - does anyone know anything about it? s/Carol Reeves Shaul 2010-03-09 06:17:20 | Comments | Printable version
