The Coffee Co. Historical Society will be holding its May meeting, on May 21, 2002 at 7:00 P.M. This month's meeting will be held at the former home of the late Ms. Lillian. Ashley. This is the 2 storied Colonial Revival style home, located at the corner of Hillsboro Blvd. (Hwy 41). & Woodland St. in Manchester, TN. The lovely house was built in 1923 by Mr. W.H. Ashley, a former 1st National Bank President, and a member of one of Coffee Co.'s founding families. The family originally settled in the Beechgrove area in the early 1800s but several members relocated to Manchester around the turn of the century. We will tour the house and the program will center around the Ashley family and it's history. Several early photos will be on display by the Historical Society and several objects relating to the family & house will be displayed by the Arrowhead to Rockets Museum. Everyone, member or not, is welcome to attend. -- Jess Lewis >> http://www.cafes.net/jlewis/ << >> http://www.cafes.net/jlewis/cannon.htm <<
