LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

May 1898

Six single teams passed through Crossville on their way to Rockwood. They were agents of N.S.B. Payne who is renovating featherbeds there.

Jim Kimmer, the mail contractor, is now running the buck-board so single passengers can thus find conveyance from Rockwood to Crossville and return at a moderate rate.

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.

May 1945

Burning off fields to kill weeds is as sensible as burning the crib to kill rats.

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.
