Mystery Wednesday - do you know the name? 2020-09-02 - Adair County, KY - Photo from Mike Watson. For many years this picture of a distinguished looking gentleman was in the archives of the Columbia Christian Church; however, it had no identification accompanying it and no one at the church has any idea who the person is. It has come into my possession, mainly because someone knew of my interest in history and especially history of the Campbell/Stone Restoration Movement. For some time, I have been attempting to identify this person, but have not been successful. I have one source which I hope will enable me to do so and that is A History of the Churches in the Bluegrass, which has hundreds of pictures of church leaders covering the period of time from mid-1800s up to about 1930. At the same time, I am wondering if publishing this picture locally might lead to someone who has an idea of whom this person might be. - Paul Patton Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
