Big Snow, March, 1960: Betty Sue Conover, at 6 mos. on Wall St.

2012-02-01 - Wall Street/Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from collection of Betty SueConover Jasper.
Betty Sue Conover Jasper was just 10 months old when the Blizzard of March 1960 hit Adair County, above being steadied by her mother and a never to be forgotten Columbian, O.A. "Cotten" Durham, a long serving Adair County, KY, County Attorney. The snow pile from clearing the driveway was two Betty Sues high, then, and chest high to adults. It nearly obscures the landmark Durham House's grand wrap around porch, where Hunter and Tucker Durham and dozens of Greensburg/Wall/Paull/and Marshall Street kids had free rein and a perpetual warm welcome.
