Letter: Regarding Squires Cemetery By Billy J. Hagy Citizens of the Town of Columbia, Kentucky and Adair County, Kentucky, I urge the powers that be in charge of the Columbia and Adair County government to leave the Squires Cemetery graves as they are in their current place. These people are relatives of not only mine, but probably are also to many in Adair County and Columbia presently. It's been stated by Donna Rieder that the moving of these graves, "is nothing short of sacrilege." I wholeheartedly agree with Donna Rieder. One of those headstones has been identified as belonging to "Mollie S. Squires (1861/3-1888). Mollie was married to "Marion Franklin Harmon (1861-1940). They had two daughters, Lena (1883-1921) and Carrie Harmon (1886-1969). These people are cousins of mine. I guarantee there are many more descendants of this family besides myself that are still alive.
