Arvest and Clara Rodgers celebrate 50th Anniversary

There weren't many good paying jobs in Adair Co., KY, in 1960. Newly married by Rev. V.V. Capps, they moved immediately to Mooresville, IN, where they've built a wonderful life together. But they still get homesick for Columbia, for Southern homecooking at Betty's, and their kin and acquaintances back home, and vow, again, "We'll be coming to Columbia, soon."

By Clara Rodgers

My husband Arvest & I are celebrating 50 years of marriage today. We were married June 4,1960. We got married in Columbia by the late VV Capps.

Arvis was living here in Indiana. We came home to Mooresville that night. We have lived here all these 50 years.



We have one daughter Lisa Ann (Kevin), and three beautiful grandchildren, Hunter, Sawyer and Chloe.

Lisa is having Open House for us on Sunday, June 6, 2010. We are excited that some Adair county people will be attending.

Arvis is retired from General Motors and I retired from the Kroger Company after 42 years.

We have had a great life together. We are both in very good health. We are very thankful for that.

We still visit Columbia often. Our roots are still there in Columbia after all these years of being away.

We love that good southern food at Betty's as well as lots of other places there.

We got homesick many times after we left Columbia. We knew we had to stick it out, as there were few jobs there at that time in Columbia. We have lots of great memories there.

We will be coming back to Columbia soon.

Ed, Thanks for printing one of our many stories after 50 years. -Arvest & Clara Rodgers
