LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

May 1897

Mr. Bishop, a civil engineer on the Tennessee Midland, is examining the ground in our county to find the best route for the proposed road. He says that on either side of the Plateau no difficulties will be experienced and that it is this comparatively narrow strip of mountain that is the chief obstacle.

In county court eight fox and wild cat scalps were proven and ordered paid.

Burke – Some of the stockmen took their cattle to the range the first week in April, We fear it was a week or so too early.

May 1945

May 9 headline – Germany ends war – unconditional surrender signed at “a little red schoolhouse” in Reims, France, Sunday evening, May 6.

East Woody – Thomas Kerley was in our community getting data on our boys and girls who have attended high school. The question was very easily answered. The boys are mostly in the service and the girls are married or off in defense work.

May 1987

Randy Neal, in the third grade at Crossville Elementary School, spotted a mistake in the book “Tennessee Homecoming is for Kids Too.” She wrote Sen. Anna Belle O’Brien that the state flag was upside down. Miss Anna Belle wrote back telling her how proud she was that she recognized the mistake. She added, “It is young people like you who I am counting on to be leaders tomorrow.”

Recently passed legislation directed the Commissioner of Transportation to erect directional signs indicting the location of two popular attractions, The Playhouse and Fairfield Glade Resort. They will be placed near the 317 exit on both east and west I-40.
