BUD LINDSAY IS HARD TO KILL He Is So Used to Being Shot That He Will Recover. Knoxville, Tenn., October 19.—(Special.) Bud Lindsay still lives. Contrary to universal expectation that noted desperado failed to succumb to the two bullets shot into his chest by Deputy United States Marshal J. M. McGhee at Jacksboro yesterday afternoon. The wounds inflicted upon Lindsay would, according to the Jacksboro physicians, have proved fatal to a man of any ordinary physique, but they failed to cause the death of Lindsay. The man has been shot many times before and has been slashed and cut in dozens of places and lived through all. When the doctors examined the wounds inflicted upon him by McGhee they at once pronounced them fatal, and it was confidently expected that the man, whose name has long been a terror in the Coal Creek region, would be a corpse when the sun arose this morning. On the contrary. Lindsay was not only alive at that hour but was demanding something to eat, asserting that he was as hungry as a wolf. After eating the food given him he showed a disposition to talk. "That fellow, said he, "thought he had me, but I knew better. That kind of people can*t kill Bud Lindsay." The wounded man, lying flat on his back as he was, sent word to McGhee that he had better leave the country as he, Lindsay, intended to be "stirring his stumps" in a few days, when there would certainly not be sufficient room for him and McGhee in the same county. The message was delivered to McGhee, who laughed at it contemptuously. The doctors attending Lindsay regard his vitality as something wonderful. One of the bullets lodged in the region of the heart but to Lindsay it seems no more than a flesh wound. It is now the impression that.he will recover, although his condition may at any moment take a turn for the worse and his wounds result in his death. Lindsay is a magnificent specimen of physical manhood, standing six feet four in his socks. His chest is massive and his frame that of a giant. His oldest brother, Mr. Bart Lindsay, is the district attorney of the Knoxville district, and is very highly esteemed here. Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, Oct 20, 1893

I need some help. Sometime between 1912 AND 1920 before the 1920 census a young lady by the name of Callie Mae Wilson passed away. Family history says that she was killed in a car accident. We are not certain where but it is rumored that it was near Briceville. Her parents were Thomas Wilson and Catherine Webb Wilson Cooper. Her step father was Andrew Cooper. She had two brothers, McKinely and Othneil (Ottney) or sometimes called OTT. She also had a large number of half brothers and sisters. John Matt Wilson, Willie Wilson, Alicie Wilson. Cordie Wilson Jordan, Sarah Wilson Rutherford, Julia Wilson Gross, Tom Frank Wilson. Curtis Wilson. Her father had died in 1911 and her mother Catherine remarried Andrew Cooper giving her a large number of step brothers and sisters. Some of these were Buella Cooper Hatmaker, Taylor Cooper and others who were the children of Elizabeth Moses Cooper and Andrew Cooper. By listing these I am hopeful that someone somewhere will have some information on Calllie. Callie Mae was born in May of 1899 in Campbell County. She was either born in Jacksboro or La Follette. I have searched and searched for information on her death but have found nothing. If anyone has access to the funeral or newspaper records during this time frame and can give me something definite on her death I would be so very thankful. Sincerely, Debbie Wilson Fehr

Could anyone futher identify this Charlie Phillips. Neal ============================================ SUPPORT OUR TROOPS---FLY THE FLAG "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death, your right to say it" Voltaire

As with many surnames, there are many correct variations. The original German spelling was probably Messimer or Missimer. The first letter is always M. The second letter can be A or E or I or O. E is most common. A and O are unusual, but they do happen. The third letter is always S, and usually the S is double. There may or may not be a vowel after the S or SS. If there is a vowel, it may be A or E or I. The next three letters are MOR or MER. There may or may not be a final E. Jerry Bryan

The CARDIN spelling was common among the branch of the family that settled in Monroe County, TN. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Carter [mailto:jeremycarter@isp.com] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 5:53 PM To: TNANDERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNANDERS-L] Spelling of Carden I have a question on the spelling of this last name. The Coxes are related to the Cardens, but my grandma insists that the ones we are related to spelled their name like this: Cardin. Anyone know about this? Is it a different family or just a different spelling? Thanks in advance. ==== TNANDERS Mailing List ==== To See the Anderson County Web site http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/4916/ Protected by Polesoft Lockspam http://www.polesoft.com/refer.html
