The first grandchild and the Christmas puzzle As the Cravens and Waggener families remember the first grandchild who passed away earlier this week (Philip Glenn Cravens, 69, Greenwood, IN (1947-2016)), this story comes to mind from a few years ago written by his mother, Wilma Jean. She paints a picture of her firstborn, a precious, precocious rascal child, Philip Glenn Cravens, who ruled in her family's kitchen as his Grandparents and the young Aunts and Uncles stood by in admiration -- no discipline. By Wilma Jean Waggener Cravens I remember when I was a little girl, growing up with a big, boisterous family in a big white house on Jamestown Street. It was such a long, long time, then, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, when Santa would come. The wait was long, but Mama and Daddy had a diversion to make the anticipation bearable: The Christmas Puzzle.

Literal Christmas spirits tale from Joe Turner/Paul Revere "On Christmas eve night, as dark and cold a night as commonly seen in this country, we are all met at Kinnaird's store, equipped with guns, bells, tin buckets, horns, etc..." A ColumbiaMagazine.com Christmas Classic reprinted in its entirety by request By "Jim" In 1898, Mr. Joseph (J.A.) Turner, a longtime resident of Metcalfe County, returned to his native Adair County for the space of a few months. For a number of years, his writing had appeared in the Edmonton and Glasgow newspapers under the cognomen Paul Revere. During that brief sojourn to the Auld Sod in1898, he continued dispensing, via the Adair County News, his own puckish brand of wit, wisdom, and humor, frequently (quite tongue in cheek) bemoaning his fate as the husband of the red-haired woman. Or, as he so eloquently poker-faced in another letter, "I finally found, wooed, and won the heart and hand of the red-haired woman, who has spared no pains in trying to elevate me to the same plane with herself." The following, excerpted from his letter published in the July 20, 1898 News, starts as a reverie about the Nell community but segues into an offbeat tale of his Christmas Eve adventures up Leatherwood Creek, circa 1869.

Kentucky Color: Lucy Clark Demumbrunn Chapter III In this chapter, Billy Joe Fudge traces Demumbrunn ancestry from what is now Edmonson, now Metcalfe Counties into the Toria community of Adair County, KY. And issues an ancecdote about his grandmother's swift blunt comeuppance of a thoughtless borrower at her door. Click on headline for complete Chapter III with photo(s) NEXT EARLIER CHAPTER: Kentucky Color: Lucy Clark Demumbrunn Chapter II By Billy Joe Fudge One of the hallmarks of strong-willed, morally confident people is a proclivity to tell the truth, even in the face of accusations of possessing an uncaring attitude. Their personal philosophy seems to be, "pity accomplishes nothing but the truth will set the captive free" or at least, put those with a smart mouth in their place. My Great-Great Grandmother, Lucy Clark Demumbrunn seems to have been one of those folks with this weighty, personal philosophy and a story shared by one of my cousins seems to reflect Lucy Clark's personality very well.

Wally Burress: Col. & Mrs. Morris are big racing fans The Morrises once visited Coax Me Chad, runner up in the 1984 Kentucky Derby who lived his final days in Adair County and is buried here. (PHOTO, Monument at Bliss, KY) Comments based on:After a 73-year union, two hospital beds pushed together offer comfort to veteran and his wife. See also: Robert Johnson finds link to wonderful local romance story of a Russell Springs girl, Eloise and a Columbia boy, George. By Wally Burress I met Mr. and Mrs. Morris back in the early 80s when I worked at the track. They are a wonderful couple! I knew both were in declining health, but I had no idea that this arrangement was made by the hospital. George had both happy and sad war stories to share. Probably the funniest one he told me was that someone once asked if he was ever injured during his military service. George said he replied that he did fall off of a bar stool in Japan one time! I last saw them about seven years ago when they stopped by to see Coax Me Chad. They were both big horse racing fans. Im sorry to hear he is in such bad shape but it's a great thing that they're allowed to be together to the end! Thanks to Mr. Johnson for sharing the story! --Wally Burress 2016-12-25 03:12:14 | Comments | Printable version

The Christmas Story  From Bethlehem: A Savior has been born in Bethehem, also called the City Of David. New Baby is hailed as Christ the Lord. MAPAnd, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: And they were sore afraid . . . And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
