Silent City 2013: Adair County's Tony Curtis & Janet Leigh 2013-10-29 - Columbia Cemetery, 315 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Silent City aficionados always know they are in for a treat when the great husband-wife team of J.D. & Ellen Zornes turn comes - they're the Columbia version of Tony Curtis & Janet Leigh or maybe Robert Wagner & Natalie Wood, or Hume Cronyn & Jessica Tandy. This year was a triumph, with the popular couple presenting Tim & Sallie Bradshaw, early merchants in Columbia. Sallie Bradshaw ran a very successful millinery shop, at a time when no decent woman would be seen outside, and Tim Bradshaw was a visionary who expressed interest in investing in the electric railroad to Lebanon, KY.
