News from June 17, 1903: Mr. Sam F. Eubank's wonder churn By "Jim" Columbia's own Thomas Edison, Mr. Samuel Fields "Sam F." Eubank (1864-1931), applied for and was granted a number of patents, including one in 1908 for a pipe and post puller and another in 1912 for a water pump. (See Jim: Patent pending: some Adair County inventors and inventions) These weren't his first inventions however, as some years earlier he perfected what had to be the world's fastest butter maker. This long forgotten bit of Adair County lore surfaced as this scribe scryed the pages of the June 17, 1903 News. Mr. Sam F. Eubank, this place, is the inventor of a churn-dasher that will evidently bring him good money. It has two revolutions and with it butter can be made in three to five minutes. In due course of time it will be upon the market. Alas, this was the only mention found of Mr. Eubank's wonder-churn. (As a completely gratuitous afternote, Mr. Eubank played a role in helping the state gummit debunk the Cabbage Snake Scare of 1904-1906. Without a doubt, he did this for the Greater Good, knowing the world at large wasn't then ready for the truth. Members of Dr. Neat's Hoop Snake and Saucer Sighting Society of Adair County still hold the facts concerning the Cabbage Snake in tight secrecy, patiently awaiting the day when all can be revealed. -JIM) This story was posted on 2011-05-21 06:04:15
