Central Ohio Bureau chief brings to memory one of Adair County's most illustrious sons, General Barksdale Hamlett, whose family was so influential here through most of the 20th Century Found in the February 11, 1948 Adair County News American Officers Col. Hamlett was graduated from CHS and attended Lindsey Wilson for a year before receiving a West Point appointment in 1926. He served honorably and well in World War II, eventually rose to the rank of General, became president of Norwich College several years later -- and quite possibly is the only Adair Countian ever to meet the (future) Queen of England. Gen. Hamlett did a wonderful taped interview in '76; the transcription is long but worth the read., particularly the first several pages when he talks about his days in Adair County.
