Jamestown Street memories

by Ed Waggener

Jamestown Street in Columbia is changing with increasingly rapid conversion from a mostly-residential area to a mostly-commercial one.

First Sergeant Jim Beard, retired, was raised on Jamestown Hill in the 40s and 50s. He now lives in the Long Hunter's subdivision. Hecame from a large family, and has done a great job of recording itshistory.

Four photos from First Sergeant Beard's collection are included with this article. These photos are sure to strike anostalgic chord with many who grew up on Jamestown Street.

Beard family

2004-02-16 - Columbia, KY . JAMES PERRY BEARD and ANNA LEWIS GUPTON BEARD with their son, John Howard Beard. The picture was taken in about 1920 in front of the Beard house, which was located where Jeffries Hardware Lighting Showroom is today. The James Perry Beard property extended from what is now the new bank building south to what is now Sheila Bryant's Nation's Medicine. Some years later, John Holland Beard built a carpentry shop which was only a few feet from the sidewalk, and directly across the street from the first Franklin Motors (now Franklin Nissan) building. (From the Jim Beard collection).

John Howard Beard

2004-02-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo Staff. FATHER OF THE BEARD FAMILY John Howard Beard in the garden behind the Beard home on Jamestown Street around 1950. The Beard home had a small front yard and a big back yard. Behind the house, the property ran back most of the length of Hayes Street. It included a barn and several outbuildings. In one of the buildings, John Beard raised pheasants. A small orchard on the property provided short core apples for the family and fruit for Mr. Beard's cider mill. John Howard Beard was one of Adair County's finest craftsmen, a carpenter whose services were always in demand. He was especially well known for paper hanging and painting. Many residents would trust their home improvements to no one else.
