Mystery: where did the Greensburg Street historical marker go?

Courthouse lawn historical markers were discussed at the September meeting of the Adair Heritage Association meeting - a Greensburg Street marker - similar to this one facing Jamestown Street - is missing. Investigations have ruled out that the Greensburg Street historical marker might have been taken down for repairs, nor has it been moved to a different location within the county - it is permanently missing. Lee Ann Jessie said she is in discussion with Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan who will take the matter of replacement before the magistrates.
Missing Greensburg Street-facing historical marker details from Mike Watson -- "County Named, 1801 [marker number 1139] with the following text: "For gen. John Adair, Governor of Kentucky 1820-1824. born, 1757, in South Carolina, came to Ky., 1788. Member of Kentucky Constitutional Convention, 1792. Served in Ky House of Representatives, 1793-95, 1800-03, 1817. US Senator, 1805-06, Congressman, 1831-33. At Battle of Thames, 1813. Commanded Kentucky troops in Battle of New Orleans, 1815. Died, 1840." Comments | Permalink
