LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

December 1890

Mrs. Cooley organized a “Band of Hope” at the schoolhouse Monday with Mark Dunbar, president; Kittie Way, secretary and Minnie Wickersham, treasurer. There is a membership of 52.

We acknowledge receipt of an invitation to attend the opening of the new hotel at Deer Lodge. Exercises, to include music, supper, etc., will commence at 5 p.m.

O.N. Wilcox’s Stallion “Ned”, became choked on a turnip Sunday evening which nearly caused the death of a valuable animal.

December 1943

Burke – Bert Henry and G.M. Thompson have returned home after a few days at Red Boiling Springs. They both report a wonderful rest and a fine trip too.

Westel – Friends of Cpl. Earl Speich and Sgt. George G. Clifton are glad to hear that they have recovered from their illnesses and have been released from the hospital in the South Pacific area. Both are back on active duty again.

Somewhere in Alaska – Pvt. Manson R. Vitavoe and Pvt. John D. Vitavoe write their mother, Mrs. C.C. Vitavoe, Crab Orchard, that they are well, have plenty to eat and good warm clothes. They have been in battle with the Japs, but they won and both are O.K. and would enjoy some good sunshine.

December 1977

The state sets a deadline for correcting the overcrowded classes in the county’s school system. The plan must be submitted to the Commissioner of Education by March 1, 1978.

The first bad weather hit the Plateau at the end of November. Ice and freezing rain combined with snow flurries made roads slick and driving hazardous. I-40 at Rockwood was closed briefly.

Shop Crossville first. A long list of stores was printed. They will all be open from 8 a.m. till 8 p.m. until Christmas.
