Russell Co. Bookmobile ca 1950s 2011-07-27 - Russell Co., KY - Photo From the Collection of Larry Smith. Larry Smith shares this old photo from his huge collection: This one is a bookmobile scene in Russell County in what he believes to have been the 1950s. He doesn't know any of the people in the picture and hasn't found out where it was taken. He has learned that the bookmobile librarian was one of the most respected people, ever, in Russell County, Elizabeth Phelps a member of one of Russell Counties most distinguished families. The bookmobile van body appears to be on an International chassis. From the looks of the well dressed patrons and the stair stepped ages, one would think this would be one of the more educated areas for its day. (It's a problem for "Jim," we guess).

I thought I would share a photo from my parents Odell and Celystine Baker's, day trip yesterday, Tuesday, July 26, 2011, to Sulphur Well. Dad has been extremely ill the past few months with multiple stays in the hospital, but felt well enough to go on a lunch date with Mom and his two grand daughters, Keisha Moss and Erin Burris at the Lighthouse Restaurant in Sulphur Well, KY before schools starts. Erin will be leaving for Western Kentucky University in August and Keisha attends Adair County High School. Everyone had a great time. In the photo, dad sitting in between Erin, left and Keisha.

Cane Valley, KY post office 2011-07-27 - Cane Valley, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Larry Smith photographed Cane Valley Postmaster Wanda Berry as she was casing the mail in the Cane Valley, KY, post office, with its historically significant fixtures. The shelving is from the 1800's post office which had been located across Cane Valley Road from the present post office. The Cane Valley Post Office is one of three Adair County on the U.S. Post Office's "hit list" for possible closing. The other two are at Gradyville and Breeding. If this were to happen, Adair County would have only one post office, at Columbia. Historian Mike Watson thinks the number of post offices in Adair Co., KY, over the years may have been as many as 80. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

MacGregor Scott's beautiful crop with big ears of corn 2011-07-27 - Gradyville, KY - Photo by Betsy Fausnaugh. And these are some of the big, full ears of corn God's engineering feat - the strong stalk and the finger-like roots - has to support. It's been a great year for corn this year, according to everyone who has sampled the Ambrosia, Argent, Bodacious, and other sweet corn varieties at the Adair Farmer's Market or from roadside vendors this year.
