Sarah Webb’s Obituary

And here's our girl Sarah Webb, my great-great-grandmother who ended up living with Lynch the Doctor in Knoxville. This means my grandmother Ruth Webb Packett personally knew her grandmother, which tickles me to no end.

Was googling to try to figure out how to find your paypal account for ’em cats, and caught this instead. Is this from the “New-Sentinel”? P.S. Also, inform me about the account. 🙂

  If memory serves, I think I got this copy from the East Tennessee Historical Society, but really, I don’t know how I would have known ETHS had it on microfilm. So, I don’t know where I got it, but I’ve probably had it since 1999.

The Church of the United Brethren, 1895 April 24, 2018

I grew up in the Methodist Church. Last year at the 150th anniversary of the church, there were nice memorial books given out. Didn’t go and didn’t get yours? Call the church. They might have more. In October 1866 the Holston Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South appointed Rev. S. K. Haynes as pastor […]

Lenoir City: A Town of the Future April 16, 2018

I always wondered how we came to live in Lenoir City. How did my family choose to live here? Out of all the places in the world, why Lenoir City? Why Tennessee? Why the South? When I started poking around the family tree about 20 years ago, I found that both my mother’s and father’s […]

The Will of Captain William Lawton March 31, 2018

Recently I received a comment on the blog from a nice lady who wanted help in determining exactly where in England Capt. William Lawton was born so that she could have him recognized as a Patriot in the DAR. I was confused on a number of levels. No one knows where he was born; oral […]

In Which I Become a Baby Methodist March 24, 2018

I was a baby Methodist. I was baptized on the 2nd day of June, 1957, at Trinity Methodist Church, Lenoir City, Tennessee, by Rev. F. F. Essary. I bet if I hunt around a bit, I could find my christening dress and shoes. Be right back.

The Polaroid Land Color Picture March 24, 2018

Here’s a photo of my mother with her friend Irma Young Jaques. Irma also happened to be my godmother. Mom wrote on the front: “Evelyn Ruth Packett Rawls (left) Irma Jean Jacques dear friend from Florida” but that is not actually how Irma spelled her last name. It is “Jaques”. JAY-kwiss. It appears that these […]

Y’all know that I have a subscription to GenealogyBank. I’ve been off on a tangent looking for information about Joe Webb while he was living in Lenoir City with my grandparents. While I didn’t find anything relevant to that, I found a mother lode of information about the early beginnings of Lenoir City. You have […]

I met Joe Webb when I was a little girl. I have a few vague, shadowy recollections of him. He was my grandmother’s brother. Grandma had another brother named Tom, and a brother named Charlie that I never met. Charlie died about 1936, and my aunt had told me once that Charlie had gotten ill […]

Death by the Way March 14, 2018

I see death every day. Every day. Any time I venture out, I see death on the road. One day on my commute, I saw a dead deer on the side of the road in three different spots. Each one had most probably been hit by a car or truck. Sometimes it is a dead […]
