Churches of Adair Co.: Columbia United Methodist

Click headline for Doug's photo essay featuring Columbia United Methodist Church. If you'd like to submit a church to be featured on Columbia Magazine, send photos and descriptions to photos@columbiamagazine.com.

By Doug Beard

We have some beautiful churches in our city and county with wonderful histories. I think it would be nice to feature these houses of worship on CM. I will start it off with Columbia United Methodist Church. I believe your readership would find this to be of interest.

November 20, 1979 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the November 20, 1979, issue of the Adair County News. Topics included the origin of the Chance post office name, a magical breakfast in Wartrace, Tennessee, and quick analysis of the chances in the next race for 5th District Representative. --Pen

By Ed Waggener

There was a Chance community would get a post office, and that's how Chance; Kentucky, came to get its name, according to Mrs Virgil Bryant, who researched the question. Mrs. Bryant offered the information after being told of Robert I. Smith's request for information relating to strange U.S. place names.

She writes,"Henry Bardin was trying to get a post office for what is now the Chance community. He sent off some names to try and get an office located there, but each name,it seemed, was already in use."

"Then one day a fellow asked, 'Reckon there is a chance we will ever get a post office here?" Mr. Bardin said, 'I don't know, but I am sending that name in." So the Chance post office was established around 1900 where the trading post is located, at the intersection of Highways 768 and 1952.

"It was discontinued for a short time and re-opened at the last location on road number 1952. The-office-was permanently closed about three or four years ago. That completes the information requested by Mr. Smith, whose complete address is Robert I. Smith, Newsdesk, Detroit Free Press, Detroit, Michigan 42831.

We were In Lynchburg, Tennessee, on a recent Sunday morning. Lynchburg is in Moore County, about 80 miles southwest of Nashville.

Governor's Sunday update

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth.

"We've seen some troubling increases in the number of positive coronavirus cases across our commonwealth in recent weeks," the Governor said. "Let's remember that we're not powerless in this fight. We wash our hands often and properly. We can keep our gatherings small and make sure we maintain a safe social distance. We can avoid traveling to hotspots. But most of all, we can wear a mask. It's the best advice from the nation's top experts and how we protect those we love during this pandemic."

Case Information
As of 4 p.m. Sept. 13, Gov. Beshear reported that there are at least 56,945 cases in Kentucky, 536 of which were newly reported Sunday. Eighty-seven of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which 24 were children ages 5 and under. The youngest was a 1-month-old from Barren County.

100 Years Ago: Lost and found

As summer wended its way toward autumn a century ago, the American economy took a short breather from the post-war boom, collecting itself in the depth of a brief recession for a multi-year run to stratospheric heights. Prohibition, still just months old, already had spawned speakeasies and the rise of jazz; and the Democrats fretted the newly enfranchised female voters would help tip the Presidential election to Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate. (They did, in no small part because the Republicans arrived early to the right-to-vote party while the Democrats straggled in quite late.) But meanwhile, back in The Shire...

The News carried several death reports in September 15 edition, including that of Albert Dell, the ten-year-old son of James and Martha Burton killed on the 10th by a lightning strike; and that of Esther Gilmer Dohoney, the 102-year-old-grandmother of Woodruff J., W.H. Ernest, and Ray Flowers. The paper referred to her as "an ardent member of the Presbyterian Church for about eighty years. . .[and] one of the most remarkable women who ever died in Kentucky."

Columbia was in the dark, had been for some time, and seemed destined to stay that way for the foreseeable future. The power plant had gone out weeks earlier and although Mr. G.B. Smith, in charge of the plant, had immediately ordered replacement parts from Louisville, shipping was delayed indefinitely from the manufacturer in Wisconsin to the supplier in Louisville.

The News groused, not without cause, that "residents of Columbia have been using lamps for several weeks, and there is no telling when the light plant will be ready for service." Hydroelectric power via Russell Creek served as backup, but the water was too low to produce so much as a flicker of light.

The power outage played havoc with the ongoing revival at the Columbia Methodist Church, as it was "progressing under difficulties;" to-wit: "The lights are not sufficient to light the building, and as a matter of course the preacher is embarrassed, and the congregations that meet are not in a mood to listen."
