LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

October 1897

George R. Brown found in his father’s field, a coin dated 1806. On one side was the image of a king and the inscription, “Carlos 1111, Dei Gratia.” On the other side was a crown and the Spanish coat of arms and a flag with the inscription, “Hispan et Ind Rex.”

The social at Mrs. Graves’ was an entire success. The gramophone was the feature of the evening’s entertainment. It was kindly contributed by Jere Bazter, Jr.

Jack Patton of Rockwood is spending a few days here hunting wild turkeys. He says they are so plentiful he has to kill them in self defense.

October 1945

Mr. & Mrs. P.W. Bell of Clifty, have three sons Robert, Homer, Herman and a son-in-law Donald Burgess in the service. They have been in the European and Pacific theaters.

Last week Gus Hinch had his right leg badly bruised while trying to handle an unruly cow. He went around on crutches for a few days but is gradually recovering.

Beginning October 1 we will be forced to sell any and all garments left at our Cumberland Cleaners plant longer than 30 days. We have a limited space for our regular work and do not have room for storage.

October 1987

Big South Fork is slowly being “discovered” by lovers of the outdoors. The area was first planned in the 1960s and was funded in 1974 as a $103 million project.

City Commissioners have given the four water utility districts (Catoosa, Crab Orchard, Grandview and Lantana) until October 5 at 9 a.m. to accept or reject a city offer of water at $1.16 per/1000 gallons. If there is no response the commission will seek a third party to settle the water rate dispute.
