There is a very simple way to tell is you do and a simple way to help stop getting it . 1 to see if you have it, even if you do or don't have a virus checker use your *find all files* and search for KAK it will tell every place it finds it. If you do go to a well know virus page like McAffee or Norton to get the files to remove it, how ever since it is a deletable file you can delete all reference via *file and folder* finder, also look for HTA , but the best thing to do is read up on it first. 2 go in your preferences and set them to high , this will tell you if any e-mail has an active x and you can delete it, good chance it will be activated when you reboot , how ever it has not happened to me yet. 3 If you have an *autoexec.bat* you can change the attributes to (read only) *dont forget this* or when you install any thing that needs to change it will not work , how ever KAK will not be able to write to it. 4 Get a good up to date virus package , even tho Rootsweb dont pass KAK , your private e-mail to each other doe's *beware* and scan those attachments on a floppy on (a drive) before looking at them.

Ann and list, This virus "kakworm" seems to be running wild. Recently I had to have my system cleaned of it. Everyone should be careful because it seems that some people have no symptoms and are not aware they have a virus and are continuing to pass it on to others so it is easy to be reinfected. If someone sends you a virus, let them know so they can clean up their system and maybe we can get rid of this thing. Carline [email protected]

To potential virus victims: The only practical way to solve this problem is to install a good program such as Norton AntiVirus 2000 with automatic scanning of email as it downloads. Norton stopped two KakWorms for me in July before they could infect my computer. Also three viruses of other types this year. I had never had a virus attack in the previous 3 years, so either I was lucky or they seem to be increasing or both. I also subscribe to the VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L and have read reports of damage from these email worms ranging from very minor to damage which required re-formatting of the hard drive with loss of all data. Many people try to economize by not installing good antivirus protection and risk not only a big investment they have already made, but repairs which could cost far more than antivirus protection if it has to go to a computer shop. If you or a friend can do it, then it can still cost a lot of time. Some have reported damage to computer hardware although I do not understand how that would happen unless the virus can cycle some part fast and long enough to cause heat damage. I urged one lady recently to stay off the internet until she had installed an antivirus program. She said she would take her chances. She picked up a virus about a week later which sent her computer to a shop. That shop charges more just for their diagnoses (repairs additional) than my Norton cost me. I very strongly urge all who use the internet to economize in some other place, if necessary, and spend the modest amount of money necessary to buy a good antivirus program such as Norton and the use their free service to download updates every week. Protect the investment you have made in money and effort to accumulate your computer and data!!!!! Clark Rogers ....................................

This is the last of what I have to share from Bud Phillips book, Bristol Tennesse,Virginia. There was much more in the book about town history and some fine old photos, but I only had about an hours visit in the library with this wonderful book. By the way I am not promoting the book and have no connections to Bud Phillips, just sharing what I read. I did find a couple of cemetery mentions in a pamphlet I purchased through the historical society and I have an index to High on A Windy Hill. I can do look ups from the index, but I think there are many people out there with the whole book that can do better service. I have sent away for Mary Kegley's book Lost Children of Wythe County and E-mailed her for permission to offer look ups from it when it arrives and she said that was fine and sent me a list of how to rules on doing it without breaking copywrite laws. I hope I follow and do those things correctly. I sure don't want to do that! Any way here is some info on monuments and some names, etc., for you. Gen. Evan Shelby was most likely the first in town to have a grave marker (the iron slab placed over his grave).It was made at the King Iron Works at Holly Bend plantation. Thomas W. Farley became a local agent for the Caddess Monument Company of Lynchburg,Va.and placed some of the earliest markers at East Hill. Mr. Phillips writes that he used to haul the heavier monuments in a 2 wheel cart, pulled by an ox named Black from the depot to the cemetery, and some of the small light ones carried on his shoulder. There was a Marble Shop in Abingdon during the 1850's that supplied stones too. A. T. M. Provence set up Bristol's 1st monument works around 1860 and Mr. Phillips states at the writting of his book it is still there on the corner of State and Second Street. Provence closed during the war, but re-opened in 1866. Mr. Phillips tells with humor this story: Business must have been slow or money scarce, for a year or two later he was advertising he would cheerfully accept farm produce as payment for grave markers. Mr Phillips writes; and I quote " A story handed down through the Parrott family tells of a marker bought from Provence and paid for with a calf and a pig." It may truly be said that he ate up the profits!" W. A. Ray had a marble works on a lot across Main from the First Baptist Church about the same time period for several decades. It was common practice in those days to print in tiny, discreet letters near the bottom of the stone the name of the stone maker. The earliest monuments were usually thin, and almost always white marble. They become heavier and taller and more elaborately carved through the 1870's and 1880's. The soaring obelisk style of monuments in that time period mark several prominent local citizens including J.R. Anderson, John Crowell, James P. Lewis, Isaac A. Nickels, W.S. Minor, andCyrus King. There are a few unique hollow bronze monuments in East Hill. These were expensive and had to be ordered from Baltimore and took time for delivery. These people listed has a hollow bronze monument: W. W. James, Ben L. Dulaney, and Hal H. Haynes. A decent marker would cost $12.50, small ones as little as $6.00. Long after the Civil War a fine stone could be bought for $25.00 and a $50.00 stone would designate the affluent of the town. Some families put iron fences around their burial plots. Many of these fences were made and erected by the Dixon and Smith Foundry, and others had pickett fences, but neither remains today.. Around 1880 the father of Nellie Gaines ( first letter, first person buried at east hill) returned to Bristol from Texas and hired a carpenter to erect a little house over his daughter's grave, and put a pickett fence around it. He hired G.B. Smith to photograph it so his wife (at that time an invalid) could see what had been done. It has not survived time and does not remain today. Thank you all for letting me do this, I enjoyed very much all the Thank you notes and stories you have sent to me. Everytime I try to give to you good people I get 10 times more than I ever give. You are remarkable people. God Bless you all.

Does anyone know anything about the email address [email protected] ? Checked it about 2 weeks ago and it was ok but was reported bad today and I checked it and did get my mail back...Let me know if you know anything, otherwise all of its Surnames will be deleted. Fred P.

Mr. Phillips in his book, Bristol,Tn./Va. descibes a wonderful thing that the townspeople did in older days, and it would be so terrific to see it done today so our cemeteries would stay in good condition. Mr. Phillips writes that for many years it was the custom of the townsfolk to gather at the cemetery on a Saturday in May to clean off the grounds and make ready for a memorial service. There was a great turnout of citizens, rich,poor,young,and old who would for long hours cut brush,grass,straighten stones, and repair fence lots. They would plant flowers and roses, and pull weeds. Some of the local business men worked at the task as well and hired help by offering to people who helped a chance to pay off debts in this way. It was an all day affair where picnic lunches were brought and eaten under shade trees and the people visited with one another. For years it was custom to hold a memorial service for the town's dead. A crowd would assemble at the First Baptist Church, and laden with wreaths and bouquets they would march up the hill to the cemetery and assemble under the giant cherry tree near the King lot and hear the sermons by the town's clergy or a eloquent speech by a local orator which was usually a lawyer, and a bit of poetry reading. Lovely idea to me and I can just picture this in my mind of something so nice that happened so long ago.

I believe I have finished maintenance on the Surname list at http://members.fortunecity.com/fpreston/swabc.htm Please check your surnames, all of them because corrections to one does not necessarily mean the others are correct. I have done the following, I hope: 1. Added some new names and email addresses. If yours isnt there, send me email again. 2. changed email addresses as requested by several people. 3. deleted bad links. If you find any that don't work, let me know, please. I have tried to check and double check before deleting. Sometimes an I, l or 1 are confusing so I sent multiple checks to verify that they were bad. If I deleted yours by mistake, again, send me email and I'll add them again. 4. Still have a few to add for nmorri but otherwise, I hope they are complete. Send any corrections, additions or comments to me directly at [email protected] Fred Preston

To the north East Hill crept down a hillside toward Williams Street, and a Potter's field was set aside in this area. East Hill has had several move ins and move-outs. Stones that are marked before 1857 are the grave markers of people that were moved from other grave sites and reburied at East Hill. The town's first Dr. a Dr. B. F. Zimmerman, and the Dr.'s son, Cyrus King, 2 of Cyrus wives and 1 child was moved to East Hill. Also Sarah Ann Anderson, the daughter of Joseph and Melinda King died in Blountville on May 6,1853 and 25 years later her body was moved to the Anderson lot at East Hill. James O. Wood, the father of 5 prominent Wood brothers were buried at Esillvile ( now Gate City) in 1874 then moved to City Cemetery in 1878. Capt. George Davidson died in March of 1881. He was said to have fired the 1st Confederate gun at the 1st Battle of Manassas and was buried at Esillvile, but a few days after he was buried there his brother had him moved to East Hill. On Jan. 21,1873 Bristol newspaper said the remains of Mr. John T. Wilbar had been reinterred in the town cemetery. The Ed Faidley family took in a run away boy about 15 yrs. old from Ashe County, N.C. in 1896. The boy would give no information about who he was and he was sick when he got to Bristol. One week after he arrived he died. He was buried in the Hines family lot in East Hill. Mrs. Faidley was a Hines and had the boy buried there because she could not bear to see such a young person buried in a Potters field. About a week later the boy's folks showed up looking for him. When they learned he had died they had him exhumed, loaded him into their wagon and hauled him back to the family graveyard in N.C. Another story Mr. Phillips tells is about an event in 1877 with a family named Yelton. The family's little girl died a few months before the family was to move to Missouri and she was buried at East Hill. When it come time for the family to go to Missouri the mother could not bear to leave her daughter behind. The body was exhumed, sealed in a metal casket by H. A. Bickley, loaded into a wagon and taken along.

I'm looking for a burial place for William (Bill) Fawbush b. 10 Oct 1888 d. Jun 1976 and his wife Maude fawbush also. Thanks Sandy

I have to confess this is my favorite because East Hill cemetery was my back yard when I was a child growing up in Bristol. My uncle Arville Canter worked there til his death, then my cousin, David Thomas who started working there at age 12 just retired from being caretaker there after 30 some odd years. I have wonderful memories of playing in East Hill and I hope someday to rest there where I once played. I learned a lot of East Hill history from Bud Phillips book that I did not know. East Hill use to be called Round Hill ( the older part). Mr. Phillips says the Bristol men use to gather there to fight gamecocks, so by popular usage it was known as Rooster Hill. After burials began again that name was not dignified enough for a cemetery, so it was Round Hill til well after the war. Samuel E. Goodson had a tenant farmer living on his farm by the name of Gaines. The Gaines family planned on moving to Texas when their 5 yr. old daughter, Nellie died in 1857. Col. Goodson suggested she be buried at a site he was planning to set aside for a burying ground for Goodson ( now Bristol). The wagon driver cut a poplar stick to use as a horse prodder. When the burial was complete he stuck the stick in the ground to mark her grave. the stick sprouted and over time become a giant tree that stood until a windstorm took it down in Oct. of 1977. On April 30,1860 Col. Goodson sold a tract of land that covered most the west side of Round Hill. In the deed he reserved a 2 acre tract for a cemetery, however for some reason he never deeded it to the town as he intended. May 22,1868 L. F. Johnson paid Col. Goodson one hundred dollars and recieved the cemetery deed. notarized by Valentine Keebler. The next day Johnson deeded the 2 acre tract in trust to the Ladies Memorial Association of Bristol. The Memorial Associaction was made up of the following women: Melinda King Anderson wife of Bristol's founder, J. R. Anderson Jane A. Wilbar Carrie E. Stover Marietta Moore Bettie M. Robinson Mary B. Coleman, wife of Bristol's first druggist Dr. R. M. Coleman Anne E. Johnston Margaret Rohr, wife of Phillip Rohr, early civic leader Elizabeth Moore Keziah Fowler, wife of I. C. Fowler, local newspaper editor Isabella Pepper Levicy Campbell Mary D. York, wife of local attorney, U. L. York Harriett E. Johnson, wife of L. F. Johnson who bought the tract. These women were to keep the cemetery enclosed and the soldier's graves in good condition. They had the privilege of selling 18 x 20 foot lots for burial purposes at $ 20.00 per lot and the money from the lot sales was to keep the cemetery in good repair.. Col. Goodson and many of these women now rest here along with Civil War soldiers. And the cemetery grows. More later from Bud Phillips book, Bristol, Tn./Va.,

This is the last cemetery that Bud Phillips mentions in his book, except for East Hill Cemetery that he devotes several interesting pages to, that I will send in a couple of mails, There are lots of names in the East Hill Article. He also covers monuments, and decoration day. Here is the mystery cemetery he mentions: Old Buchanan Cemetery contained the bodies of Rev. War soldiers and located within sight of downtown Bristol. He says Mrs. Wirt Carrington Johnson tells of this cemetery, and that her comments have given rise to much speculation among local Historians, Mr. Phillips writes that he will let the matter rest and perhaps in time the mystery will unravel.( I am kinda left hanging and curious about that). Remains of the oldest cemetery was unearthed in the early 1870's. while the foundation was being dug for Temperance Hall, which stood near s.w. corner of 5th and Shelby. Evidence of an old Indian burial ground was uncovered at that time, so Mr. Phillips writes that the young man resting under the giant oaks in 1784 was not alone after all.

Does anyone know if there is a cemetary at Seven Mile Ford and if there is, is there a transcript of the graves somewhere? Thanks to all those who have been trying to help me sort out my Samuel Wilson from Washington and Smyth Counties from all the others. Thank you! A. Daniels
