Memories of Great Adair Countians: Haskin & Hobart About: Close Encounter of the Bear Kind: A tussle with Hobart Coomer Bear By Patricia Squires Franklin Haskin Coomer's bear spent a great deal of time in my front yard when I was a child at 707 Walker ST, directly across the street from Haskin's Service Station & City Supply Co. During the summer months Haskin would bring the bear over to our front yard and chain him up to a walnut tree in the corner of the yard where people traveling Hwy 61 from Louisville etc going to Lake Cumberland would see it and stop. Heaven only knows how many orange sodas he would sell a day when people would stop. My Dad (Roscoe Squires) would get such a kick from watching people when they would stop and from listening to some of the tales Haskin used to tell. - Patricia Squires Franklin Haskin and Hobart photo.
