Well, the tornado has been and gone and we're left with the clean up. Folks in Oneonta are tough though, we'll be fine. So far, we've only had a couple of injuries. I just heard on the scanner they only need shelter for one family from the Red Cross so far. Keep your fingers crossed for us as we head for tomorrow and daylight. Now, to stay on topic----- Tapleigh Stephen Murphree md. Emma L. Moses, 12-17-1885, Blount Co., AL There seems to be several men by that name in Blount Co. during the same period. Does anyone have any vitals on this man? I found Emma in the Lebanon Cem. but haven't located Tapleigh as yet. I have found a death record for a Tapleigha S. Murphree in Sept., 1930 (Blount Co.) but can't decide if this is the one I'm looking for. Thanks Terry Jackson

Melba, I believe you are correct. They tried to avoid any contact with the ill, dying and dead. Bobbye

The other thing I thought about after my last message was the cause of her "flux." Great strides had been made in the late 1800s about bacterial causes of disease, and if there was a possibility that the corpse could spread the disease through contact, the family and community may have elected to have a quick burial. If others in the family were sick, the coffin and body preparation may have taken most of Saturday, and the actual funeral was after sundown. I'm just making suppositions here.

The following was found in The Southern Democrat, 12 Jul 1900: Rosa Dots. Mrs. Uriah Smith, who died of flux Friday, was buried at the Daily graveyard Saturday night by torch light. Rev. F.M. Self conducted the burial services. It was a sad scene. I have rarely heard of someone being buried at night and by torchlight. Was there some sort of superstition, custom, or some other reason for this unusual interment? Mrs. Smith apparently has no monument.

I'm late in thanking the person who found this old news article. William D. Hyatt is my great-grandmother's brother. When he died, he had a 4-year-old daughter named Arnice, who later became Arnice Hyatt Houke. Many people in Blountsville might remember her because she was a teacher at the Blountsville school. It took me years to figure out how we were related, but thanks to computers and modern technology, I finally was able to sit at my desk in Texas and figure out a relationship from over 100 years ago! Now I can put this story with the tombstone picture I took last fall when I visited Alabama.

That's the correct Willcut family. Isabella would be about 50 in the 1910 census. Thanks for checking anyway.

Infantry. J.C. Glasscock, Co. I, 49th Ala. Infantry. T.D. Tyson, Co. C, 1st Ga. Cobb's Div. Cavalry. Comrade T.B. Deaver was selected temporary chairman and W.J. Robinett, Secretary. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. T.B. Deaver. Dr. A.S. Davidson made an eloquent address on "The Right of the Southern States to Secede," or "State Rights" in which he clearly proved that the principle was a justifiable one and that our government has ever maintained that principle during all its existence since the "Articles of Confederation" were adopted by the thirteen independent sovereign States prior to the "Constitution." Comrade T.B. Deaver was elected permanent chairman and master of ceremonies, and W.J. Robinett permanent Secretary. The following places were nominated for the next meeting of the veterans, viz: Cleveland, Blount Springs, and Nectar. Cleveland was selected for the meeting on the 3rd Saturday in Sept. 1904. By motion it was agreed to meet semi-annually on the 3rd Saturday in April and September. Blount Springs was selected as the place for the April meeting on the 3rd Saturday in April 1904. By motion adjourned, T.B. Deaver, Chairman. W.J. Robinett, Secretary.

The Blount County News-Dispatch, 18 Oct 1900 News reached here last night that Master Robert Russell, formerly of Oneonta, was killed near Morris on the 15th inst. by an explosion of dynamite. He was shooting fish with the dynamite and held it too long in his hand after lighting it. The Southern Democrat, 25 Oct 1900 Robert Russell, formerly of Oneonta, was killed near Morris a few days ago by the explosion of dynamite. The dynamite exploded in his hand while in the act of throwing it into the river to kill fish. The Southern Democrat, 25 Jun 1903 The many friends of Mr. William D. Hyatt will regret to learn of his tragic death which occurred near Hanceville last week. While preparing to throw a dynamite into the Mulberry river it exploded, blowing both hands off and both eyes out and otherwise lacerating his body. The accident occurred Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock and he died early Saturday morning. Mr. Hyatt was about 30 years old and was well known in Blount and Cullman counties. His remains were carried to Liberty for interment. [William D. Hyatt, 20 Mar 1875 - 20 Jun 1903; buried Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery] [Apparently this practice was more widespread back in the day than I suspected]

The Southern Democrat, 11 Jun 1903 Co. "B" 49th Ala. We are in receipt of the following letter from Col. Weeden, and we are unable to give him the information wanted. We publish the letter with the hope that it may fall into the hands of some survivor of that faithful old company: During our Civil war Co. "B" of the 49th Ala. Regiment was made up entirely from Blount County. The Reg. was organized at Nashville, Tenn. in the winter of 1861. I was the first adjutant of the Reg. and was subsequently made Lieutenant Colonel. I want to see the names of every officer non-commissioned officer and private of Co. "B" enrolled among the records of the Department of Archives and History at Montgomery. I would be obliged if you would put me in communication with some member of the Company. Co. "B" was one of the best companies in the 49th Ala. Reg. They were a fine body of stalwart young men and their first Captain was dear old Cap. Wm. N. Crump, a Baptist minister, and I believe every member of the Co. was a member of the Baptist church. Such a thing as playing the old soldier was not countenanced among them. Co. "B" was always for duty. They emphasized the fact that one could be a good soldier, and at the same time a christian gentleman. I remember that when the Reg. was being organized at Nashville, a young man, resident of that city, who had lead rather a fast life, joined the Reg. and was assigned to Co. "B." It was not long, however till a deputation from that Co. waited on the Colonel and asked that the young man be transferred to some other company. The only reason assigned was, that the "played cards and cussed." They saw how a soldier must act to fulfill the christian ideal. The young man was duly transferred and since the war has often laughed at how he was repudiated by Co. "B." Please remember me kindly to the survivors of this Company. I am very truly yours, John D. Weeden, Florence, Ala. F The Colonel is in error as to Capt. Crump being a Baptist minister. He was a Methodist and we are informed that most of the members of the company were Methodist.-Editor. [Note: In May 1862, the 49th Regiment was reorganized and Company B was renamed Company I. Most contemporary references refer to this Company of Blount County Boys as Company I.]

Isabella Musgrove Last Will & Testament filed in Cullman Co. by Matilda Price on 3-21-1934. Interested in determining relationship to the following: Daisy Willcut Knighten Ruth Willcut Buck Eula Willcut Flemming Essie Willcut Plemons John Willcut Kate Willcut Bailey These are 6 of the 9 children of William R. & Mary E.

The Southern Democrat, 26 Jan 1899 An Historic Safe. During the year 1852, or 1853, there was a partnership engaged in the mercantile business right where the city of Oneonta now stands known as W.B. Deaver & Son. W.B. Deaver was the father of Thomas B. Deaver the present honored county treasurer, and the son of the firm was John A. Deaver who was killed at Missionary Ridge during the late war. [John A. Deaver was a 1st Lieutenant of Company B of the 28th Alabama Infantry] He was the father of Jim Deaver and Mrs. C.C. Shelton who now live near Brooksville in this county. During the year 1853 Deaver & Son bought a very large iron safe which was used in their store at this place. The same safe now stands in the store of J.R. Wooten in Oneonta, Ala., after having been on the move for more than 35 years. These words are found upon the safe, "Silas C. Herring & Co., New York 1852. Shipped to W.B. Deaver & Son, Chepultepec, Ala. care of Railroad Agent Savannah, Ga. Gathern & Elliott Rome, Ga. and O.P. Hill, of Gadsden, Ala." From Gadsden to this place the safe although weighing over 4,000 pounds was brought to this place then known as Chepultepec. During the war when the firm of Deaver & Son quit business here and went to Blountsville the safe was moved to that place and after the death of W.B. Deaver in 1865, Thomas B. Deaver as his administrator sold the safe with other property and it was bought by George W. Montgomery and was kept by him until his death in 1891. After the death of Mr. Montgomery the safe was set apart as exempt property to Mrs. Mattie Montgomery, the widow of Geo. W. Montgomery. Mrs. Montgomery then sold the safe to John Henry Arnold who was a merchant at Blountsville up to the time of his death in 1894. Before Mr. Arnold died he exchanged or swapped the safe to Jackson L. Montgomery of Blountsville who was then Postmaster at that place. Mr. J.L. Montgomery sold the safe to J.R. Wooten who was at the time a merchant in the town of Blountsville, Ala. and when Mr. Wooten moved to this place in September 1898, he brought the safe with him and now has it in his store within two hundred yards of where it first did duty for Deaver & Son, after having been on the move for so long a time. [Anyone know if the safe is still in Oneonta?]
