Memories of Millerfield Proprietorship, Credit, Sales & Doctoring By Morris Shepherd My father, Lilburn Shepherd built, or helped build, the Millerfield Store sometime in the late 1920s. I was born in the house next door to the store in 1932. He carried most everyone on credit and the depression wiped him out by 1936 when no one could pay off their accounts. He sold the store and we moved to Cincinnati to find work. Some amusing tales were told about those times. He had sales on can goods - 10 cents each or two for a quarter!! A lady came into the store and asked dad for some medicine for her husband's upset stomach. He gave her a few 'white northern beans' and assured her that this would take care of the problem. The next day the husband came rushing into the store appearing quite upset, but burst out laughing when confronting dad about the joke. - Morris Shepherd Comments re article 60750 Country Store History LR Chelf Account Book 19251928 2013-07-18 16:26:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Worth a trip to C-ville just to see latest Main ST improvements Downtown: "You don't know how much you miss it til it's gone." By Sheila Hare In response to Cricket's comments on Campbellsville. If you have not driven downtown Campbellsville. It is worth the trip to see what pride has been put into the downtown area. When going to Campbellsville I go up Main Street just to see what they have added most recently. Just two week agos I took a lady for a trip to see the improvements they have made to their city. Would love to see cosmetic touch ups on our town. We have such a historic and beautiful square it is a shame to not want to preserve it. I am so proud we still have a downtown. I went to see my sister last week in Michigan and she made the comment, "Please don't mess up the Square and Courthouse at home and took me to see her downtown. There are only 3 stores left. The rest had been torn down. She made the comment, "You don't know how much you miss it til it's gone." - Sheila Hare Comments re article 60744 Says a few neglected properties are difference in attractiveness 2013-07-18 14:23:12 | Comments | Printable version
Agrees with Cricket McCloud on beautification effort George Kolbenschlag writes: You are right on, Cricket. Other communities can tear down properties that are hazardous (or just virtually abandoned. ) Why can't Columbia. Too many excuses why it can't be done and not enough effort to get 'er done. How about some positive action? Start with the house that borders the Cemetery at the junction of Campbellsville Street and Fairgrounds Street. It's an embarrassment to the community in a very visible location! --George KolbenschlagComments re article 60744 Says a few neglected properties are difference in attractiveness 2013-07-18 12:41:38 | Comments | Printable version

Country Store History: L.R. Chelf Account Book, 1925-1928-- Click on headline for complete story, list of account names By Mike Watson Adair County Historian The subject of the country store can and will elicit many responses and additional ideas! Thanks to the several people who emailed or called about the list. There will be an update in the near future; more data is coming in daily. Thus far, I am not able to give the lineages of many stores, but I am working on two or three that need additional effort. However, the submission below is from some research dating back some dozen or more years. Inspired by editor Ed, the following is a list of some of the customers on the account book of L.R. Chelf, at his Knifley store, circa 1925-1928. Often more than one person would charge to the family account, so the names of others follow the account holder in the list.

Says a few neglected properties are difference in attractiveness Cricket McCloud writes: Why can't Columbia be as attractive as Campbellsville and Greensburg? The property owners on the square should make an effort to at least paint the buildings. We have houses on Greensburg and Campbellsville Streets that should be torn down. But, where would the rats go if that happened!! There should be an all out effort to make our town (and each street) as attractive as possible. People have talked this for years and nothing much gets done about properties going to such a sad state of repair. - Cricket McCloud 2013-07-18 01:26:06 | Comments | Printable version
