McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Try again, please... If you've tried to e-mail me in the past 48 hours, the message may or may not get delivered. So, please resend it. It may not appear to you to have bounced, and it may very well not have. But, I had a weird mail loop going on and don't know where the mail is going to land. This is what happens when you leave the mountains of East Tennessee and spend the summer in the Land of Fruits and Nuts... Traffic on the freeways and remote Internet access emanate from the pits of hell, but the beaches and weather are marvelous... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2001 19:20:32 -0500 From: "Rose-Anne Cunningham Bray" <knoxcotn@wdbj.net> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] What's New @ Knox Co., TNGenWeb? ;-) Hi y'all..... We've added a few new items at the Knox Co., TNGenWeb site --stop by and check it out! http://www.knoxcotn.org/updates/index.html
1). Did your kin serve on the old Knoxville Police or Fire Departments? If so, we have two neat old yearbooks for you! a). Knoxville Fire & Police Departments - 1900. This yearbook includes rosters of current (as of June, 1900) officers in both departments, as well as GREAT historical sketches about early law enforcement and fire fighting in Knoxville! There's even a short paragraph about the role of the Police Matron (sounds like an early social worker!) b). Knoxville Fire Department Yearbook for 1951-1952. The Fire Dept. historical sketch continues, as well as a listing of all current AND deceased fire dept. members. **If anyone can find an available Police Yearbook for this same time period, I'd love to get it online, too ** 2). We've added another church yearbook -- Fourth Presbyterian Church, Knoxville (1928). This little book includes history of the church (organized in 1886) as well as a listing of all communicants with addresses. 3). Two more school annuals are online -- Rule High School, Knoxville (1945) and Karns High School, Knox Co. (1945). The Rule annual covers grades 7-12, while the Karns annual extends from grades 1-12. Also - the Karns annual gives the names and addresses for parents of Juniors and Seniors (which may come in handy once we get to see the 1930 census ;-)).
