LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

June 1903

J.A. DeRossett of Crab Orchard is worse again at this time. He has been chilling again.

There will be a train excursion from Nashville to Harriman over the Tennessee Central. The train will leave Nashville at 11 p.m. Saturday, June 20, and return June 21, leaving Harriman Sunday night at 10 p.m. It is for both white and colored passengers, a baggage car being placed between the cars.

Big Lick — Cattle are dying in this section by the wholesale, old and young. What is the remedy for the poison?

June 1929

A hookworm clinic will be held in Crossville to investigate the situation. Fred N. Johnson, county sanitary officer, has been trying to arrange such a clinic for some time. Dr. Kelley from Vanderbilt University will be in charge. There is no doubt many children in this county are affected.

Indications are bright for the development of a marble works at Crab Orchard provided specimens now being worked and other conditions prove satisfactory to the Knoxville man who is interested. The marble belongs to what is known as Missouri Limestone and it takes a most admirable polish. It is of the bird’s eye variety of a slight yellowish cast and had found a strong market in many parts of the country.

June 1993

The Cumberland County School Board was advised by their attorney to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court’s answer to the question of religious activities during school, you cannot do it.

The U.S. Postal Service expects to distribute mail by automated equipment by late this year. The mail will go directly to the carriers and not be distributed by local clerks. Many POB customers use only their street address and when the change occurs mail will be delivered to the address listed and if there is no mail receptacle it will be returned to the post office. Both the street and box address should be used.
