GEMS FOUND IN MUSSEL SHELLS Tennessee River Supplies Many Rich Finds to the Shell Hunters From tiie Cincinnati Enquirer. Pearl fishing in Tennessee is now a thriving, lucrative industry, while the gem from the streams in the old Volunteer state is gaining a wide reputation in the Eastern markets for its brilliant luster and fine formation. Pearl fishing in that state is conducted on an extensive scale in the mountains of East Tennessee, especially in the Clinch river, where many valuable "strikes" have been made the past few months. A small army of pearl hunters is now engaged fishing for the gems, this being the season of the year in which they carry on their very interesting work. The fishermen are always ready and willing to tell the story of the Clinch river pearl, using purely local mountain terms. They will tell you that the mussel varies as to kind and shape, there being three separate and distinct kinds. There is the yellow mussel from which is taken the white pearl, also the pink and gold. The "sheep-nose" musell contains the pink pearl, while in the "biscuit" mussel a second or inferior grade of the pink gem is found. From the first group comes the valuable pearls known as the round, button or pearl-shaped gems. The pearl is constructed pretty much on the principle of an onion. They can be peeled, each layer being very thin, but distinctly a separate portion of the pearl. When one is found and proves to be below the average in luster it is peeled by a professional pearl man and often a valuable gem is found after removing several layers of the film. This Clinch river pearl is noted for size as well as its exquisite beauty. A single Tennessee pearl, not larger than a pea, has been known to sell for as high as $700. The best pearls, those which have brought the highest prices, present a variety of tint and coloring not found in other pearls, ranging from a dark wine color to that of a beautiful pink. There is an element of chance in pearl fishing in the Tennessee streams that give it a fascination. There is no more certainty that a summer's work will bring reward than a claim staked in the Alaska gold region. Nevertheless the work goes on. One man's "strike" is enough to keep the river full of pearl seekers for a month. It is estimated that the average is 10,000 mussels to one really valuable find. The season for pearl fishing begins when the shoals in the river appear after the winter's high water. Usually the first valuable find heightens the fever, and it is not an uncommon sight to see 100 or more men and women engaged in fishing within a space of 40 to 50 miles. They will be seen digging and scratching in the sand, much after the fashion of a hen feeding her brood. The pearl fisherman enters the water barefooted and proceeds to feel carefully with his toes for mussels which lie half buried in the sand. He is well accustomed, or, as the fishermen express it, their toes are so well trained that they know them as soon as they come in contact with a mussel. When the shell is found they grasp it they grasp it with a foot and land it in a boat. When a sufficient quantity have been gathered, the shells are opened with a wedge. Two of the most unique characters in the pearl district are Joe Gosset, and his brother James. Joe has been stone-blind for many years, yet he is the best fisherman on the river. Promptly upon the opening of the season he is led daily into the river by his brother and left to shift for himself. Joe uses the foot method to advantage, and has succeeded the past year better than his brother. For one pearl he received $350. They are typical mountaineers, but successful pearl fishermen. Formerly the business was done through local agents or buyers, but now Tiffany of New York and other dealers negotiate direct with the fishermen. The attention of British buyers has been directed to the pearl and before a great while the Tennessee pearl will find a ready sale in the markets of England. This week James Allen of Nashville paid $700 for a pearl and sold it to Tiffany of New York for $2,000. Anaconda Standard, Anaconda, Wisconsin, Sept. 2, 1900

Pearl fishing in Tennessee is now a thriving, lucrative industry, while the gem from the streams in the old Volunteer state is gaining a wide reputation in the Eastern markets for its brilliant luster and fine formation. Pearl fishing in that state is conducted on an extensive scale in the mountains of East Tennessee, especially in the Clinch river, where many valuable "strikes" have been made the past few months. A small army of pearl hunters is now engaged fishing for the gems, this being the season of the year in which they carry on their very interesting work. The fishermen are always ready and willing to tell the story of the Clinch river pearl, using purely local mountain terms. They will tell you that the mussel varies as to kind and shape, there being three separate and distinct kinds. There is the yellow mussel from which is taken the white pearl, also the pink and gold. The "sheep-nose" musell contains the pink pearl, while in the "biscuit" mussel a second or inferior grade of the pink gem is found. From the first group comes the valuable pearls known as the round, button or pearl-shaped gems. The pearl is constructed pretty much on the principle of an onion. They can be peeled, each layer being very thin, but distinctly a separate portion of the pearl. When one is found and proves to be below the average in luster it is peeled by a professional pearl man and often a valuable gem is found after removing several layers of the film. This Clinch river pearl is noted for size as well as its exquisite beauty. A single Tennessee pearl, not larger than a pea, has been known to sell for as high as $700. The best pearls, those which have brought the highest prices, present a variety of tint and coloring not found in other pearls, ranging from a dark wine color to that of a beautiful pink. There is an element of chance in pearl fishing in the Tennessee streams that give it a fascination. There is no more certainty that a summer's work will bring reward than a claim staked in the Alaska gold region. Nevertheless the work goes on. One man's "strike" is enough to keep the river full of pearl seekers for a month. It is estimated that the average is 10,000 mussels to one really valuable find. The season for pearl fishing begins when the shoals in the river appear after the winter's high water. Usually the first valuable find heightens the fever, and it is not an uncommon sight to see 100 or more men and women engaged in fishing within a space of 40 to 50 miles. They will be seen digging and scratching in the sand, much after the fashion of a hen feeding her brood. The pearl fisherman enters the water barefooted and proceeds to feel carefully with his toes for mussels which lie half buried in the sand. He is well accustomed, or, as the fishermen express it, their toes are so well trained that they know them as soon as they come in contact with a mussel. When the shell is found they grasp it they grasp it with a foot and land it in a boat. When a sufficient quantity have been gathered, the shells are opened with a wedge. Two of the most unique characters in the pearl district are Joe Gosset, and his brother James. Joe has been stone-blind for many years, yet he is the best fisherman on the river. Promptly upon the opening of the season he is led daily into the river by his brother and left to shift for himself. Joe uses the foot method to advantage, and has succeeded the past year better than his brother. For one pearl he received $350. They are typical mountaineers, but successful pearl fishermen. Formerly the business was done through local agents or buyers, but now Tiffany of New York and other dealers negotiate direct with the fishermen. The attention of British buyers has been directed to the pearl and before a great while the Tennessee pearl will find a ready sale in the markets of England. This week James Allen of Nashville paid $700 for a pearl and sold it to Tiffany of New York for $2,000. Anaconda Standard, Anaconda, Wisconsin, Sept. 2, 1900

Born Jan. 31, 1918, he was the son of Paul William and Ruth Speck Phipps. His wife, Tommye Wilma Phipps, died in 1992. They were married in December 1942 in Mobile, Ala. A sister and a brother, Mary Chapman and Benjamin Phipps, also died earlier. Mr. Phipps had been a lifelong resident of Pendleton until 1993 when he moved in with his son, Stephen Phipps, in Oak Ridge. He was a member of the Pendleton United Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge No. 44, F&AM, in Pendleton, Faith Masonic Lodge No. 756, F&AM, in Oak Ridge, and the Scottish Rite Lodge. He was involved with the First Christian Church in Oak Ridge, and was really sad when he couldn't go any more, his family said. He had been homebound for about the last year and the minister and people from the church would come to him. He loved to read, and as a young man in the 1930s, he worked as a golf caddy for pocket money and went roller-skating for fun. He always loved golf and supported his favorite golfers. According to his family, he would watch golf on television and actually enjoyed it. Mr. Phipps served his country in the National Guard in the South Pacific theater during World War II. He retired from Delco Remy Division of General Motors in 1975 after 30 years of service. In addition to his son and daughter-in-law, Aline Phipps, Mr. Phipps is survived two sisters, Priscilla Love and Rebecca Bines; his grandchildren, Benjamin and Jill Wheat, Priscilla Kellner and husband, Robert, and Gillian Burkett and husband, Anthony; his great-grandchildren, Brennan Kellner, Ryan Kellner, Nate Burkett and Jordan Burkett; and by several nieces and nephews.

Born on Aug. 3, 1928, in Fort Wayne, Ind., she was the daughter of Henry J. and Mary P. (Tyner) Duerstock. She attended parochial grammar school there and graduated from South Side High School in 1946. The family included two younger brothers, both of whom are her friends to this day. Jo had an unusually strong thirst for knowledge which she displayed with her lifelong passion for reading and expanding her horizons. She worked for four years after leaving high school to earn money to allow her to attend Indiana University, where she prepared to be a medical technician. The money ran out and soon she met and married Robert E. Schappel in 1954. Bob was a traveling service engineer for Foster Wheeler Corporation, and their marriage began with a two-year working honeymoon visiting seven different plant locations. Jo and Bob then moved to Oak Ridge for nine years and their two children, Kathleen and Christopher, were born there. Jo became interested in Girl Scouts when Kathy was old enough to join and soon found herself a Girl Scout leader. The next stop on their odyssey was Baltimore, Md., where Bob was employed by Westinghouse, a move that opened the door to some serious traveling. In Baltimore, Jo re-engaged with the Girl Scouts and was soon appointed a regional representative. Following four and a half years in Baltimore, the family moved to London, England, courtesy of Westinghouse. Jo volunteered with the American Girl Scouts organization and soon found herself appointed country commissioner of Great Britain and Ireland, as the military, which supported the organization in Europe, was trying to enlist civilian volunteers to broaden the scope of their activities. This volunteer job led to many trips to Germany and around Great Britain, which provided additional fringe benefits for the family. While in England, Jo soon became involved in equestrian activities because Kathy was deeply involved in pony club affairs. Upon returning to the United States, Bob elected to take a position with Westinghouse Hanford, a move that was blessed by Jo, who said, "Great, we've never lived in the Northwest before." Moving to Pasco, Wash., brought new opportunities to Jo, and she soon opened a shop called The Tack Box where she provided clothing, saddles and other horsey materials for Tri-Citians interested in English equestrian events. She sold The Tack Box in 1984, but the business continues to this day. During those years, she helped start the Columbia Hunter-Jumper Club, which sponsored springtime events for combined training riders and won the Washington State Horseman's South Central Zone "Club of The Year" award in 1977. After selling The Tack Box, Jo returned to her lifelong quest for knowledge, first by taking some courses at CBC and then enrolling in a degree program at the Tri-Cities campus of Washington State University. She completed the program and graduated cum laude in 1991 with a degree in the humanities, becoming the third Schappel to be a WSU Alumni. The first two were her children who preceded her there. Bob and Jo, now retired, then continued their program of lifelong learning which included nine elder hostels, one of which was a two-month trip to New Zealand and Australia, and two "Semesters at Sea" voyages, one being "Around the World in 100 Days" and the other a summer semester around Europe and North Africa. They also enjoyed a couple of Caribbean "Seminars at Sea." Sharing their common faith with peoples of different countries was of paramount importance on these journeys. Included in these travels were several trips for Florida family reunions, visits with their children and granddaughter, Jenny, and family genealogy trips to Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, where Jo's family were among the earliest pioneers. She is eligible for membership in the "Daughters of The American Revolution." In between the activities, Jo and Bob found time to help the local Habitat For Humanity to get off the ground. This interest continued until Jo was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2001. She was a member of St. Patrick's Parish in Pasco, Wash., had spent several years of friendship with other members of TOPS, and belonged to the WSU Alumni Association and Phi Kappa Phi. With such a busy life, Jo managed to raise and positively influence two wonderful children and to enhance her family life with warmth and humor. She and Bob celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Dec. 26, 2004. Her family indicated that the kind, beautiful, gentle lady had confided to them that she viewed her final illness as an answer to her prayer that she be spared the lingering death which so often accompanies Alzheimer's. The family said the Lord has been so good to them, and they are thankful for the blessings of her life shared with them. The rosary will be recited at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 18, 2005, at Mueller's Greenlee Funeral Home in Pasco, Wash. A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2005, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Pasco, Wash. Services will conclude at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Tri-Cities Chaplaincy Hospice House, 2108 W. Entiat Avenue, Kennewick, WA 99336. Mueller's Greenlee Funeral Home in Pasco, Wash., is in charge of the arrangements. Christopher Scott Yarborough, 37, died Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2005, in Knoxville. He is the beloved son of Rita and Bill Yarborough of Oliver Springs. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Oak Ridge and worked at The Fresh Market in Bearden. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Grover C. Yarborough; his grandmother, Arlene Bridges; and his great-grandmother, Perry Wells. In addition to his parents, he is survived by a loving daughter, Samantha Noelle Yarborough of Oak Ridge; two sisters, Terri Cates of Knoxville, and Karen Fugate of Oak Ridge; his grandmother, Minnie Yarborough of Oliver Springs; his grandparents, Trent and Bertha Bridges of Clinton; as well as many nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. The funeral will be held at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, 2005, at Oliver Springs Mortuary. The Rev. Mack Smith and the Rev. Howard French will officiate. The burial will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19, at Anderson Memorial Gardens in Clinton.

They were mar. in 1805 in Grainger Co. and probably moved to Anderson with one or more of their sons: James, Thomas, William or Jeremiah. We know that William, Sr. and the sons were living in the county in 1840. The other son, Benjamin, was living in Grainger Co. (to become part of Union Co. by 1850 - around Maynardsville).
