Scenic Adair Co., KY: A bell holds memories 2012-05-22 - 1200 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The old bell in the front yard of Wheet Fellowship Hall has special memories for the congregation of Columbia First Church of the Nazarene. For several decades it called members to worship when the church occupied a building at the foot of Jamestown Hill, historian Chris Bennett notes. That church burned to the ground, and the only thing salvaged was this bell. The congregation next moved to 310 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY, at the site of the current Praise Assembly of God. The pedestal was built by a mason hired by a former pastor, Chris Bennett says. The main buildings on on the church's impressive campus at 1200 Jamestown Street were constructed by longtime member Kendall Harvey, starting with the parsonage, then the sanctuary, 1972, and a few years later, Wheet Fellowship Hall. The congregation now numbers around 100 members in attendance each meeting, according to Cecil Hill Harvey, Kendall's wife. On June 24, 2012, she said, the congregation will welcome a new pastor, and his wife, Bro. David and Sister Summer Kemp, young folks who will come here from Nashville, TN.

Here are some additional pictures of the accident that occurred on Hwy. 210 in Campbellsville on Sunday. We were traveling from Elizabethtown and came upon the accident just after it happened. I took these with my camera phone so the quality is not very good. (Quality is excellent. -CM) The picture shows how the vehicles landed. The blue Torrent, driven by Leann M. Eastridge, just barely avoided going over the guard rail and into the creek. Scott M. Boutwell's Ford truck, which was pulling the camper, is located on top of the other two vehicles. The white Chevy was being operated by Byron Hash. -April Shepperd Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
