Comments on the massive fog of February 16, 2016

By Linda Waggener

This spring-like, sunny day may make us forget the hardest of winter when we were coming out from under a foot of snow into warmer temps and being shrouded everything in a massive fog. One of the most popular photos of that fog was the scenic unique view of Gradyville Baptist Church in Adair County at 159 Old Gradyvllle Church Road, Gradyvillle, KY.

Betsy Fausnaugh took an extra moment on her way to work February 16, 2016 to document the rare scene that stopped people in their tracks and drew great praise. A couple of the comments her photo drew follow:

Phillip Coffey wrote, "I love this photo. I have been by this church many times driving from Keltner Ridge.



Willie "Billie" Gist drove me to the church shortly before he passed away. He told me a history of "The Gradyville Flood" while standing by the church. He pointed to the location where his Grandmother lived and his Great Uncle Dr. Nell lived during the flood. I thought highly of Mr. Gist."

Mary Keltner who now lives in the city near her children and grandchildren wrote that it made her homesick for her former home on Old Gradyville Road. She and her late husband James Howard Keltner restored the Moss home that was used as a morgue during the 1907 Gradyville flood.
