Dan Waggener was proud of special niche in Columbia history



2013-02-04 - 410 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from CM files.
The death of the father of Adair County Judge Ann Melton and Columbia businessman Danny Waggener was a reminder of a special niche Mr. Waggener occupied in Columbia Business, one he was very proud to occupy. Almost five years ago the photo above was posted, with this caption: DAN and PEGGY WAGGENER marked 50 years in business at Columbia Tire & Recap at 410 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY, today, Friday, November 28, 2008. The business was started on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 1958. It's a record, Mr. Waggener believes. "To my knowledge," he said, "we're the oldest privately owned business under the sameownership, at the same location, in Adair County." There was a story with it at: Columbia Tire & Recap marks 50th anniversary. Clicking ReadMore accesses Dan C. Waggener's obituary, with details of the funeral, which is today, Monday, February 4, 2013, at 1pmCT, at Grissom-Martin Funeral Home, 200 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY.
