Glenmore Mansion theft update.... Typing through happy tears: A couple of weeks ago, I sent out a message to let people know we'd had a major theft at Glenmore Mansion in Jefferson City. It's not completely over yet, but they've arrested someone and recovered the portrait of Mrs. Hugh Lawson McClung (from the "Knoxville Beauties" series). The stuff went to Atlanta, as we'd suspected. There's hope for the recovery of the rest of the items and more arrests. How did it happen? Apparently, a fine young man printed off multiple copies of the Web site we put up immediately after the theft and took the copies around to antique dealers in Atlanta. One of them had a Polaroid of the mirror that was left for one of his customers to look at. The dealer recognized the mirror from the photograph. How did they recover Mrs. McClung's portrait? The stupid thief left it at the shop. Thank God for honest merchants.... Most of all, thank you to everyone who helped spread the word. Let's remember this next time Congress or the press starts harping on the perceived evils of the Internet.... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 21:05:16 -0500 From: "William Smith" <billsmith66@email.msn.com> Subject: [none] This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BF638A.0CFCE440 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're getting some matches on look-ups on the 1885 Knoxville City Directory. Don't forget to check out the "Guides to Street and Avenues" section. There's a description of most streets (and some alleys), with the name of intersecting streets. The numbers beside those secondary streets are the house numbers appearing on the northwest corner of that intersection. Don't be shy, now -- people are finding lost kin-folks on the list ... just throw your names out there! <smile>. If you'd like a look-up in the 1885 city directory, give me a holler (knoxcotn@wdbj.net) Thanks! Rose-Anne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:08:31 -0800 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Knox County history w/East TN regional info on-line The Knox County TNGenWeb site has a new history on-line! It's Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey's history of Lebanon-in-the-Forks Presbyterian Church, which was founded in 1791 as the first organized church in Knox County. The page contains a lot of regional history about the settlement of central East Tennessee and the migration of Presbyterians from upper East Tennessee into this area. You're invited to read it at http://www.knoxcotn.org/churches/lebanon.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:13:23 -0800 From: "Billie R.

James Stinnett was listed in Knox County early 1900's as a driver. He seems to have dissappeared after 1917. If anyone has this James Stinnett in their data please reply. More info to share. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:43:01 CST From: "Lian Thomas" <kycumberland@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [KnoxCoTN] Having fun with the 1885 Knoxville City Directory<smile> Okay, I'll throw my names out there. This is my brick wall, since I cannot travel to Knox County and guess what? It's my own grandfather!!! I have posted this everywhere...I am searching for the family of Arthur Walter BOOHER who married Bessie Lee HUM{HREY in Knoxville Jan. 31, 1920. James BOOHER signed the bond for the license. It is said that Arthur's parents were James BOOHER and Juanita McDANIEL. I have found a marriage between a James BOOHER and Neata McDONALD and would guess that likely this is them. John SWATZELL signed the bond. Art BOOHER was born Feb. 27, 1903 in Tennessee and died October 26, 1968 in Indianapolis, IN. James BOOHER is said to have remarried after Juanita died and had more children. The new wife may have been Aggie, who was alive at the time of Art BOOHER's death. Can anyone connect with any of these names?
