Wheat & Williams, Montpelier, KY, ca 1901 2021-05-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy JIM. In 1871, Cyrus Wheat's son-in-law Z.T. Williams became a partner in Mr. Wheat's general store at Montpelier, and the firm operated as Wheat & Williams. Some twenty years later, Z.T. relinquished day to day involvement to devote his life to full time ministry, but he retained partnership until 1903 when he sold his one-half interest to his son Luther. After Cyrus' death in 1898, his second wife, Ellen Page Coffey Wheat, assumed silent partnership until Luther Williams bought her out about 1906. The business maintained the Wheat & Williams name until Luther sold the firm in late 1917 or early 1918 in advance of moving to Cave City, a few months short of 50 years after his grandfather Cyrus Wheat's appointment as the Montpelier postmaster. From the May 15, 1901 issue of the Adair County News. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Azaleas worth the drive 2021-05-15 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by George Kolbenschlag. George writes, "It's worth a drive around Columbia just to see this year's crop of azaleas! I've never seen the bushes as full and colorful as they are this year. And because of the cool but sunny weather interrupted by just the right amount of rain, they seemed to last longer this year."
