Kelly & Nancy Ellis thank the 'Good People of Adair County'  Their son, Daniel Neil Ellis, was an Adair Countian'His first home was in Adair County, and his final resting place is on Green River at Pellyton Kentucky Cemetery.' - KELLY and NANCY ELLIS Daniel Neil Ellis, 33, Richmond, KY (1982-2015) To the good people of Adair County, We would like to convey to you all the heartfelt appreciation for the prayers and support for our beloved son Daniel and the Ellis family. We are blessed to live in such a great community with folks who are not afraid to show that they stand for decency and respect for their fellow man. The effort put forth by all our county's First Responders for Daniel's funeral is something that we will never forget. They serve and protect all, regardless of stature in society, with little reward, and are often under appreciated. Knowing that Daniel's life made a difference in so many others helps to fill the void left by his passing. He was a good man and Christian brother and devoted to family and friends. His first home was in Adair County, and his final resting place is on Green River at Pellyton Kentucky Cemetery. Sincerely, Kelly & Nancy Ellis Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-12-06 11:38:15 | Comments | Printable version

Tom Chaney: Me Growed from a Pumpkin Seed Of Writers And Their Books: "Me Growed from a Pumpkin Seed." Tom reviews Lynwood Montell’s book about Kentucky one-room schools and adds comments about Hart County. This column first appeared 6 February 2011. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Jim Lowe's Reading Suggestions By Tom Chaney "Me Growed from a Pumpkin Seed" Professor Lynwood Montell has added another interesting volume to his rather lengthy shelf. The latest book is Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers, The University Press of Kentucky, 2011. And it is just what it promises to be. It is not a reasoned analysis of the history of elementary education in the Commonwealth; not a study of fairness and achievement in the drafty schools of yore. It is an attempt to preserve the stories of the diminishing cadre of the teachers who taught in those schools now gone for half a century and more.
