Letter: Welcome Home By Carole Thomas I just wanted to say that I am proud of my nephew Chris for all of his writing skills and this poem is the icing on the cake. There's no place like home- everyone finds that out for himself as the years go by! We had a wonderful life growing up on the family farm with our cousins. Summers were packed with early morning risings to catch a ride on the back of the old pickup truck to take the milk to the Cheese Plant, then a stop at Les Montgomery's store for a Dr. Pepper and a bag of peanuts. Our other brothers, the Clem Cowans family, held so great a part in our lives. All of the grandchildren chose to stay in Kentucky, with most of us within a short drive to Columbia, except my daughter Sarah, who is in Iowa. She too loves to get back to her roots and does so quite frequently. With all of this being said, Chris, I hope that you keep up your writing skills AND I don't blame you for waiting to move back home AFTER Billy and Freddy eliminated the milk parlor! Enjoy the farm life as you learn that it's not an easy life but it's so mentally rewarding and you are part of that farm too. Welcome home! --Aunt Carole Comments re: Poem: All those sunsets Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2024-11-05 14:27:50 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback Birthdays and Anniversaries for November 6 Happy Anniversary, Dinesh Dee and Sheetal Daryanani (2014) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brandon Holmes (1991) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brent Campbell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Daryl VanArsdale | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Eddie Franklin (1966) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kai'Den (Roach) Ingermann | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kenny England | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kenny Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Larry Marshall | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Liam Luke Darnell (2014) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lynn Dudley (1980) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mike Murrell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Miller Young | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nancy Abernathy | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Patricia Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Rhonda Atwell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sharon Brown Garmon | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Steve Cox | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tyler Sinclair (1990) | (Updates/Corrections)View all birthdays and anniversaries for this month and next month on our Celebrations Page.

History: Early Election Precincts in Adair County By Mike Watson The County of Adair had five election precincts in June 1825. They were: Casey's Creek, Col. Shaw's, Kerns', East Fork and the Courthouse. Few specifics about these precincts and the locations of voting are to be found today. The few scraps we were able to unearth for the nineteenth century are as follows: Election precincts for 1822 were to be at Capt. John Bell's on East Fork of Little Barren River, and at Columbia. Casey Creek Precinct: Location of voting place was at the house of Robert Caskey until January 1827 when the General Assembly authorized the move to Samuel Bland's house. In December of the same year it was changed to Fleming Goode's and in January 1830 changed again to John Smith's. In the 1830s the precincts were: Columbia, Casey Creek and East Fork. By 1840 they were: Columbia, Neatsville and East Fork, specific locations not given. The voting locations in July 1855 were Columbia, Neatsville, White Oak, Harmony, Big Creek and East Fork. --Mike Watson, An Adair County, Kentucky, History, 2001.

Poem: All those sunsets 
By Christopher RoweI've watched the sunset on the Tagus, Where fadistas sing and sway. Seen the green flash at Key West, So beloved of Hemingway. Beneath the pier at Santa Cruz, Sea lions' barks mark close of days. From the mountains in Old Mexico, I saw brilliant scarlet rays. From atop the tower Eiffel built, From his gift, Liberty, too. Paris, New York Harbor, The sun sets, dies the blue. Around the Maker's aging Earth, All those sunsets, endless charms. But the sinking suns I love the most, Are those that grace Rowe Farms.
