Favorite old photo: Central Kentucky Buslines 2011-12-17 - 411 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from Grissom-Martin Funeral Home collection. Columbia, KY, once had three busline services, and one of them, ca 1955, was a locally owned service, Central Kentucky Buslines, owned by David Heskamp and Noah Flatt, we believe. Mr. Flatt drove the bus on a route to Louisville through Greensburg, Hodgenville, Elizabethtown, and Ft. Knox, whereas the Greyhound twice daily service to Louisville went through Campbellsville, Lebanon, Springfield, and Bardstown into the City. The third line was the Fuqua bus line, which traveled an East-West path along Kentucky 80, and went from Somerset to Hopkinsville, using a airport limousine style Chevrolet. The photo above, given to Grissom-Martin Funeral Home by Effie Heskamp, is of a charter trip by the Columbia Masonic Lodge aboard the Central Kentucky Bus, above. We don't have the identities of all the Masons, but we like to have them. I can spot my father, the late E.P. Waggener, on the back row under the right side of the first passenger window. Perhaps someone can furnish the list of all of the Masons, (or corrections to my memory about the buslines) and send them to ColumbiaMagazine.com using any Contact/Submit button or the Comments button with the photo.
