By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

An ad invites boarders to spend the summer on the Cumberland Mountain in a home with large comfortable rooms and good substantial board for $3 a week.

Pleasant Hill Academy held their regular Folk Festival. The Giseburn Processional was participated in by all the folk teams: the boys in white and the girls in colorful skirts and blouses. Each carried a traditional dance sprig of greenery as the dance is to welcome spring.

May 1987

Descendents of those buried in the abandoned Selby-Davenport Cemetery spent a day clearing vines and thick brush and sawing saplings until the tombstones could be seen. Familiar family names mark the old graves.

First National Bank received an “A” rating making it one of the best rated banks in the U.S. The leading bank information firm in the nation analyzed over 10,000 banks throughout the country reviewing all aspects of a bank’s performance.

Crab Orchard’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9686 dedicated a memorial of native Tennessee quartzite to the memory of war veterans and those who lost their lives in service. Post members helped build the monument.
