Conclusive proof Maxie Oakes right; ex-Sheriff Firquin not 2017-01-27 - Cumberland River, Lower River Road, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . The Cumberland River is a Big River -One of the longest running political issues in the Adair County Historic Courthouse, was: Is the Cumberland River a Big River. Maxey Oakes, who was a volunteer elevator operator at the courthouse, maintained that it was. Then Sheriff Jimmy Firquin would argue that he had seen it, and that it was not a Big River. Today, no one in their right mind, not even the late Dr. Billy Neat, could argue that it is not. The river was well out of its banks in this photo taken Friday, January 27, 2017, irrefutable evidence that Maxey Oakes was right, all along. Permalink | Comments?
