Travelers on Ray Owens Road, a four-mile stretch between Leah and Phinizy in Columbia County, may spot a weather-worn obelisk beside the highway – a tribute to Thomas Adolphus Blanchard, an accomplished farmer and inventor. Blanchard’s son Leonidas, former postmaster of Leah and clerk of court, placed the marker there when his father died in 1905. |
