Lindsey Wilson holds Church & University Celebration By Duane Bonifer Many things have changed since the rechristening of Lindsey Wilson University on July 1, 2025. But one thing that has remained constant is the school's connection with and commitment to The United Methodist Church. That 122-year-old relationship was front and center on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, in V.P. Henry Auditorium, as the university held its Church & University Celebration. The event -- which was held for more than a quarter-century when the school was Lindsey Wilson College -- was a reminder of the university's deep connection to Methodism, which dates to the school's founding in 1903. Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. told the audience gathered for the event that Lindsey Wilson strives to be "the model United Methodist university in the 21st century." "We commit to being a church-related university that seeks to create a community of scholarship and learning which facilitates social justice," said Luckey, who has been Lindsey Wilson's eighth president since 1998. "We commit to being an institution that respects and honors religious practice, and specifically worship and service for students and faculty who choose to participate in the Christian tradition within the total life of the university."

Silent City 2025: Mrs. Mary Triplett Cravens Mrs. Mary Triplett Cravens was devoted to education, campaigned for the first library in Adair County, and was the county's first Bookmobile driver. "A book doesn't care if you are rich or poor, a book doesn't care if you are black or white, a book doesn't care if you are a boy or a girl. All a book cares about is that you open her up and you get lost in her stories. I encourage each of you to find a good quiet place, find you a good book, open it up and get lost in the magic of literature." Mary Triplett Cravens was portrayed in Silent City 2025 by modern day Adair County Librarian LeeAnn Jessee. Many thanks to Danielle Bennett for taking video of this performance at Silent City. 2025-10-23 10:29:43 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for October 23 Happy Anniversary, Cortez & Ruth Butler | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Larry and Patricia Goodin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Nick and Diana Roy (1982) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Roger and Virginia Garner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tommy and Lisa Edwards (1981) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Aaron Gaskins (1998) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Arraya Phelps (2006) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bubby (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Carl Lewis Burris (1922) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dick Scholl | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Donna McKinley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dorothy VanArsdale | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dustin Pegg (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Geneva Kemp | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kali Ann Irvin (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lacey Helm (1988) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lali Ann Irvin (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nathan Dickey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Renee Garmon Kemp | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ricky Daryl Huckaby, Jr. (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sharon Ray Marshall | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Susan Coomer Willis | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, William (PeeWee) Butler | (Updates/Corrections) In Memoriam, Ellis Pickett (-1981) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Dr. Arthur J.
