Silent City 2017 - Mr. Richard Phelps portrays Nathan Kelsay

2017-10-04 - Columbia Cemetery, 315 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Mike Watson, Adair County Historian.

Mr. Richard Phelps, as Nathan Braxton Kelsay (1881-1945) points to the location of the onetime home of Mr. Kelsay, a great community leader from a great Adair County, KY family. The photo was taken at the last stop on the 11th Annual Silent City Cemetery Tour Celebration, Monday, October 2, 2017. The event was attended by some 65-70 individuals with, perhaps, the most perfect weather for the occasion in its history.
