Does anyone have any Dudley ancestors from Davidson County? Mine migrated from there to Texas in the mid 1850's. Some of the names include John Dudley, William Dudley, Doctor "Dock" Dudley, and Claibourne Dudley. Duston Brooks

Some of my relatives are buried at Mt.Arrat Cemetery in Nashville, probably before 1910. The remainder of my Nashville relatives are buried in Greenwood Cemetery, which may be a new and later section of Mt. Arrat. The problem is I can't get any info on people buried at Mt. Arrat. I have been to Greenwood Cemetery one, but I was told that Mt. Arrat was being not yet ready to be opened to the public and that they both might be historical properties. All I want to do is to locate my relatives, and hope I can be a step forward into finding out where I came from. Also does anyone know if Payne Chapel in Nashville, has kept good records and are they the internet? All of my family came through Payne Chapel. Thanks and hope for a lead from some one real soon.

To subscribe to the NHN, write the editor, NHN.slate@prodigy.net (615)882-9523 Contributed to the Davidson County TN mail list by Jeanne Johnson jj@tampabay.rr.com (researching RYMAN & BOSWORTH) who has no affiliation with NHN other than as satisfied reader "March is National History Month, a time to pause and reflect on those who have blazed the trail for us to follow. Here in Nashville it's an easy and informative exercise, for we often hear the names of the women who have lived here and contributed to our city's life. Yet, how much do we really know about these ladies, and how many others, just as interesting, have been forgotten? Caroling for Fannie BATTLE is a Nashville tradition, but do we know that Miss Fannie, who never received a salary of more than $30 a month during her 50 years of service, was sent to prison for spying during the Civil War? Martha O'BRYAN, for whom we crank ice cream, found her life's meaning in helping others after her fiancée was executed by the Union Army. Christian RAINS, sliding her toddlers across the frozen Cumberland River to found Nashville on Christmas Day, 1779, and Stella VAUGHN, the first woman staff member at Vanderbilt in 1905, are both pioneers. Slave Sally THOMAS saved her money and purchased freedom not for herself but for her little boy. Hetty MCEWEN flew her Union flag in Confederate Nashville. Mary Kate PATTERSON brought her friend Sam DAVIS breakfast on his last Sunday of freedom, galloping her horse so the coffee wouldn't have time to cool. In ante-bellum Nashville, teacher Charlotte FALL FANNING was so loved by her pupils that an extra Greek lesson was a sought-after treat. In our own time, Julia GREEN shocked men drivers by driving her Ford. Miss Julia was such a presence that teachers warned of her arrival by passing a green pencil so that everyone would be prepared. Hattie COTTON and Emma B. CLEMONS spent their lives serving Nashville's children and were rewarded by having schools named after them. Anne WEBBER didn't attend Watkins Institute, but left her large estate to help others to do so. Known primarily as founder of the UDC, Caroline MERIWETHER GOODLET also helped the horses of Nashville by founding the Tennessee Humane Society and placing drinking troughs on every corner. Needlework designer Anne CHAMPE ORR provided employment of women in Appalachian Kentucky, who completed the appliqued quilts and delicate tablecloths her customers wanted to own, but not to make. Elizabeth EAKIN devoted her fortune to the welfare and beautification of her city. EAKIN School honors her service as the first female member of the Board of Education in 1917. When her four sons went to serve in WW1, Margaret WINSTON CALDWELL ran their automobile dealership, the only woman dealer in the country. Her sister May WINSTON CALDWELL, saddened by the loss of her son in that war, was the guiding spirit of the Peace or Battle of Nashville Monument. Erected in 1927 to commemorate reconciliation, and the sacrifice of young men in war, the monument has recently been restored. Lula CLAY NAFF was the manager of the RYMAN Auditorium for 50 years, retiring in 1955. Rarely seeing a performance, unfazed by Barrymore, Hepburn, or Helen Hayes, Mrs. NAFF always made a profit and never allowed any criticism of the facilities. Mary DORRIS, Bettie DONELSON, Louise LINDSLEY, and their friends organized the Ladies Hermitage Association and saved JACKSON's home from destruction. Ella SHEPPARD and her fellow students became the FISK Jubilee Singers and rescued their university. Almost all of these women lived and worked before they had the right to vote. Nashville was the battleground for the ratification of the 19th amendment. Delia DORTCH, J. Frankie PIERCE, WARNER family members, and countless others worked as hard as they ever had, propelled by the vision of leader Anne Dallas DUDLEY. "We have a vision of a time when a woman's home will be the whole world, her children all those whose feet are bare, and her sisters all who need a helping hand, a vision of a new knighthood, a new chivalry, when men will not fight for women but for the rights of women." Ironically, neither Anne DUDLEY's nor Kate BURCH WARNER's own daughters lived to adulthood to use the right for which their mothers had struggled. These are just a few of the many women who have had an impact on Nashville. From Rhoda CALVERT BARNARD, who has a planet for a namesake, to Cornelia CLARK FORT, sacrificing her young life for her country, Nashville's daughters have lived with bravery and determination. Time and circumstances have made the challenges of each one different, but they are united in their courage and love for their city and country. We owe them respect and honor and have the obligation to keep their memory alive."

Seeing the name SPURGEON on recent messages brought back an early memory. In about 1939, when I was little, an acquaintance of my father named Spurgeon Van Deering took me up in his Piper Cub-type plane at Berry Field (now the Nashville International Airport) and held me in his lap so that I could see my house, the WLAC radio transmitter near the airport) from the air. I don't know what he did other than take people for airplane rides, but I thought that the SPURGEON investigators might tie him into their line. Was SPURGEON his mother's maiden name? I have remembered his name all of these years because to a little girl it sounded so exotic, something that went with what was then a rare skill of being a pilot.

Ida, I assume you are talking about Mt. Olivet Cemetery here in Nashville? If so, it is still a functioning cemetery. It is bordered by Fesslers Lane, Elm Hill Pk, Lebanon Pk and Spence Lane. As far as I know, this is the only one by this name in Nashville. The address is 1101 Lebanon Pike, Nashville, TN 37210, phone (615)255-4193.

My great grandfather was killed in 1871. I have the article that my great- grandmother saved in her scrap book. It states his funeral could not be performed by the military, in conformity to regulations. The body ws therefore turned over to Undertaker Groomes from whose establishment on Cherry Street the funeral will take place today. Is this funeral parlor still in existence and if not is there any way to find out information from elsewhere? It also states "the remains were in a state of decomposition, and will be interred at Mr. Olivet Cemetery today." Is this still in existence and can I get information from them? Any help would be appreciated. Ida McDevitt(Duggan)
