Ladies pipe favored by Almedia Frances Anderson Turner



2011-02-11 - Fortune ST, Columbia, KY - Photo from Geniece Leftwich Marcum.
This broken pipe is a treasured heirloom belonging to Almedia Frances Anderson Turner, the much mentioned 'red-haired woman,' as she was referred to by Joseph Alexander Turner, writing as 'Paul Revere' in local newspapers of his day. She wasn't red-haired, but she really loved this pipe. The broken stem is as it was when she died. Mrs. Turner would fashion a reed stem to make do. The ornate bowl held about a thimble full of tobacco, tamped down. The tobacco was home grown leaf tobacco, crumbled by hand, no high dollar cheroots for this lady. Almedia Frances was the great great grandmother of Columbia's Patty Rush Jones and the great grandmother of Linda Waggener.
