Does anyone know when Dr. William Henry Curtis, b: 1868. Liberty (Dry Creek), TN, died and where he was buried? Thanks for your time.

Hi! There is a Zeb Edge mentioned in the July 23, 1890 edition of The Liberty Herald, a DeKalb County, TN newspaper. "Zeb Edge, one of our good old citizens, dropped dead while looking at a young horse." Is this possibly the same Zeb Edge that you are looking for? You may be able to find more info at the DeKalb Co, TN site www.tngennet.org/dekalb If this is the one that you're looking for, let me know. My Edges were also in DeKalb Co. and the surrounding area. Hope this helps! Ann Marie Subject: ZEB EDGE b1826 WARREN CO. TN.

Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library. For additional information about the free workshop contact the CMCPL at 931-648-8826 or contact ETHS at 865-215-8824. The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of the region. The society’s activities and exhibits are made possible through the support of its membership. For additional information about the genealogy workshops, membership, or other ETHS programs, call 865-215-8824, or visit the historical society’s web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org

Can't wait for that Smithville Review. Thank you so much. I'm still digging through the Herald, a bit at a time & taking notes.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I really appreciate it--and it was tedious. Now, as well as going back with Our Neighbors to copy, I'm trying to edit all 600 pages, then index, so I can get it on a CD. Am going to order the film for the first few years of the Smithville Review tomorrow and will start on it fairly soon. Hope it won't take 4 years. Altho' when I started the Herald, I transcribed in longhand, then typed to computer at work. The last 6 months I have been able to type right to my laptop then send to Kay. Major improvement!!!!! Again, I appreciate hearing from all of you. BTW, We are starting a new project to have done before the Fair----World War II Veterans. Be looking for an announcement from Kay on what we want and be thinking of all the veterans you know. Later, Dale ----- Original Message ----- From: "Athol K.
