Wecome to Adair County, Charles Marshburn To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I too, now, call Adair County my home and welcome a fellow "not" so called because although we may call this home we will always be reminded that we are not from around here. Charles, I have lived in many places in my life time and it's pretty much the same all over the world. Thanks to modern medicine there is now a cure for ugly but not stupidity. Stupidity goes all the way to the bone. s/Barbara Armitage Thanks, Barbara, but with all respect, you are in error on the assertion that one not born in Adair County will always be reminded that they are from off. Truly born again Adair Countians are more Adair Countian than the natives and accepted as such. We need cite only a few: The late Dr. James Salato (New Jersey), John Shelley (Monticello), Bernice Rickman Flowers (Hopkinsville, KY and in ca. 1972 named, along with Dr. Ores Aaron the most respected Adair Countian in The Columbia Statesman); John Burr (Toledo), James Woody (London, KY) and Emma Woody, (Ottenheim, KY), and among current very Adair Countians, John and Lucretia Begley (Mercer County, KY), and Tim Allen, director of the Adair County Band. Even my first wife, Linda, was born in Sulphur Well, KY, but is 182% Adair County now. And I must mention Adair County's longest serving, ancient, and venerated magistrate, Wid Harris (District 2), who comes from somewhere else--I forget where--and there is hardly anyone else who knows his origin, he's so much a part of the county now. Heck, thousands would bet that Grover Gilpin was born here. They don't get any more Adair County and he is. But I was told he's from Gresham. Being an Adair County native is a state of mind, not an accident of birthplace. Moreover, all these arrived before the Adair County Assimilation Academy was established. It can be done. -EW This story was posted on 2008-11-23 12:05:40
