LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

January 1898

The new jail is rapidly nearing completion. Two cells are now in on the lower floor. The sheeting is on ready for the roof and so far as outside appearances go the building will be completed in a few days.

Rumor has it that surveyors will take the topography along the narrow gauge railroad from some point on the mountain to the Tennessee River. Work will begin next week. What does it mean?

Edward Taylor is still working on Rev. H.E. Partridge’s house at Pomona. He began last summer and is the only workman who “staid with” the job “first and last and all the time.”

January 1945

The Tennessee Fat Cattle show in Nashville was a winner for the Aberdeen Angus calf bred by John Kemmer, Grassy Cove. It was judged the Grand Champion. Smith County 4-H member Marion Edith Reed fed out the calf.

S/Sgt. Roy Hedgecoth and Sgt. Wiley H. Hedgecoth, sons of Mrs. R.B. Hedgecoth, Route 3, volunteered for service in October, 1940. They have been overseas since October, 1943 and are now with Gen. Patton’s Third Army on the western front.

January 1987

January 9 marked the first measurable snowfall of the season. Hazardous driving conditions forced the schools to close.

A two-headed calf was born on the farm of Bill Sapp in south Cumberland County. It died shortly after birth. The calf had two fully formed heads and necks facing in opposite directions. The veterinarian said the chances of such a birth is one in half a million.

The Crossville City Commissioners will interview six applicants for city manager.
