The Concord School of the 1940s

By E.H. Lepiarczyk II

I would like to obtain copies of photographs of pupils who attended the Concord School which was located in the Concord community, near Garlin. The community where the Concord School was located is now known as New Concord.

My mother, Katherine Louise Grider Lepiarczyk, attended the Concord School during the 1940s. If anyone has Concord School photographs from this time period, I surely would treasure obtaining copies of them. It would be nice if Concord School photographs could be presented on Columbia Magazine.com.


Mother graduated from the 8th grade at Concord School in 1948 with Jeanette Adamson, Eulene Lawhorn, and Janet Murrell. I believe all four of these Concrod School scholars are living. Their 8th grade teacher was my mother's cousin, the late Stella Ray Richards, "Miss Stella." Mother's other teachers at Concord School included: the late Alice Pearl Hubbard Grider, "Miss Pearl," the late Nettie Calhoun, "Miss Nettie," and the late Ruby Ellen Reynolds Richards, "Miss Ruby."

Mrs. Joseph Woodruff Grider, "Miss Pearl"; and Mrs. George Avalee Richards, Miss Ruby, were the wives of my mother's cousins. Mother and her classmates were all good friends when they attended school together.

One of these signs could save your life or the life of someone you love


(ADV) FFA Address Marker orders may be placed at Four Adair Co., KY businesses
We are announcing a new option to make it more convenient for people to place orders and pick up signs puchased from the Adair County FFA. Two local businesses have agreed to provide a location for people to place an order and pick up their sign when it is finished. You can now place an order at:


  • Day and Day Feed and Pet, 1011 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY

  • M & W Milling, 510 Short ST., Columbia, KY

  • Hardscratch Grocery, 7289 Hwy 55 South Road, Columbia, KY. In the Glensfork Community of Adair County. Phone (270) 384-4671

  • Burton Ace Hardware, 314 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY. Phone (270) 384-2696
We will pick up the orders every few days and call the person when the sign is ready to be picked up. Signs are still $15 and are a hot item for Chistmas since they fit perfectly into a large stocking. They are about the best gift I can think of for the person that already has everything and is hard to shop for. If a person wants a sign by Christmas, they will have to get their order in by December 15, 2010. which is the last day of school before break. Orders placed after this date will not likely be filled until after the New Year. -Kirby Hancock, Advisor, Adair County FFA
