Keepsake from Bliss history: Jack Scott's tobacco setter

Click on headline for story with photo(s)

By Bill Wheat

I have acquired a piece of Bliss's history, a tobacco setter, given to me by Kenneth Scott for a keepsake and a conversation piece.
It was Kenneth's father Jack Scott's implement. I helped Jack Scott farm for several years.



The setter was really - originally - a team drag type one, Mr. Scott later reengineered it to use with a tractor.

I asked for it as a keepsake to remember Kenneth and his father.

I have known and helped Kenneth for some 40 plus years.

He gave me my first real job, at Houchens Foods when it was downtown on Guardian Street where Save-A Lot is today.

I retired from the company after 40 years of working for them. Bill Wheat

Mr. Jack Scott's Tobacco Setter: now a treasured keepsake



2013-08-09 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Bill Wheat.
This tobacco setter
was originally designed to be drawn by a team of mules. It was once used by the late Jack Scott at his farm on Edmonton Road. It's now a treasured keepsake, owned by Bill Wheat, who remembers when he worked with Mr. Jack Scott, and later, with Mr. Scott's son, Kenneth, who gave the implement to Bill Wheat. Some where in the history of the machine, Mr. Scott, reworked it to be pulled by a tractor.
