Ron, Little family farms, largely worked by hand, no longer could support a family, especially after the soil wore out from lack of modern farming methods. The industrialized north offered jobs with cash money that could support a family. Muncie, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio, received many of the working people from Fentress Co., TN and surrounding counties. These cities were not over a one day drive away so there still could be ties to home. I don't know when the migration started for sure, but believe World War II was a turning point. I know my husband's 4 brother's-in-law all went "up north" to these two cities to earn a living and rear their families. Only one came back home to live. Anna Bertram abertram@heartoftn.net phone 615-765-5357 ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Smith Over the past I've noticed many obits posted by Brenda, Willie, and others that have MANY families from Fentress county that have migrated to Muncie, Indiana and other areas of Indiana - mine included. Do any of you know when this all started, the reason it started, who started it, and why Indiana? I know my paternal Smith family all were born in Fentress county and were farmers but ended up near Richmond, Ind. (where I was born) shortly after World War II. Were there any others that migrated north earlier than that? What about the Great Depression? Were there other families that migrated during this time frame? I'm just curious as to how everyone seemed to end up in one area so far away. I know this is probably how many people ended up in Fentress and other surrounding areas that migrated from VA & NC. Many families left areas together to settle in other areas - they helped each other build homes, barns, and get the farm land cleared. But, many of the TN families were farmers and went north for manufacturing jobs. My dad worked as a "Tenant farmer" for years in Indiana, bouncing from one farm to another every few years. He eventually found a job in manufacturing and retired as a Tool & Die Maker for Alcoa in Richmond, Ind. Anyone have a story they can share about their family migrating to another area of the country and why?

Hello List.. I am new for awhile to see if someone has a CD or access to local records . The uncle, above, was born in 1892 and from an application for a social security number, he wrote he was born in Allardt,Tn. His father is William Oscar Grant and his mother is Helene Katherina ( last name unknown )..The last name of the mother is the information I am interested in . If someone has a CD or access to early birth records will you please give this a look for me when you are looking for yourself? Thank you very much .This is a very important link in the search on the trail back to Germany. Betty in NE North Carolina

Thelma, Harmon Bates Smith whom Harmon Smith Lane was named after in Alpine, was b. March 24, 1906 d. June 29, 1989 buried Green Hill, Alpine. Married Velva Cooper, buried Green Hill, Alpine. They had 10 children, 5 boys and 5 girls. Neither were ever married before or after spouses death. The house they lived in is the first one on the lane, still there, has been remodeled. The lane makes a loop around, and comes back out. My granpa Milton Smith lived on down the next farm. But I haven't connected the two yet, working on it.

Willie, I saw a fence made of mill stones just across the lake from Burnside, Kentucky today. Very expensive place to say the least. I guess it was where the old 7 Gables Hotel use to be.

Hi, The name was Dorothy Long Bray and Wilker Bray. Wilkers brother in law, a Goodman owned a Grocery Store there. They lived on side of road and Wilker worked in the coal mines. Goodman owned a store in Oliver Springs also. They are all gone now. 3 years ago, my brother, Bill Clifton, Bitsy and I took a picnic and went to Sgt. Yorks home, cemetery, and park. I was swinging and fell out of the swing!!! This delighted Bill!!! I like all of that part of the world. Have you been to Muddy Pond? Those Mts. and water reminds me of Norway when we studied Geography years ago. I have a friend who takes me various places when I visit Tn. I plan to go back in Aug. We started a two room school reunion 4 years ago, Westel School Reunion in Cumb. Co. near Rockwood. We have former students attend from various states, all of the teachers are now deceased, we are the older generation now!!!! Thanks again. Eddie

Eddie Who is your sister and when did she live in Devonia? It almost don't exist now. Trees have grown to the road. I could barely see the metal bridge work from the road.. I also lived in Fork Mountain which really don't exist anymore. I did find the area where our houses sat. We had lived in a double. It had our house on one side and another family lived in the other side. It sat on stilts on the rear and was actually in the creek. The creek had washed away the bank and it was under our house. When it rained hard the creek would swell like a river. Logs would float down. The noise was real scary and we would go across the road to neighbors. It sat way high on a hill...No flood could get us. After they moved we squatted the house on the hill......Guess what I live on a hill now..No flood could get me<G>Gotta watch those torados though. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

I know where Devonia is!!!!! My sister in law lived there. I love these stories of days past. Eddie

Milly, I think Bolted Meal was a finely crushed and sifted meal. It was made from corn, however, not wheat, which would make flour. I'm sure that the "York's Special" Bolted Meal was ground in the York grist mill. The mill did grind wheat to make flour too. But this required a different set of grinding wheels, called rollers, that ground the wheat into the very fine powdery flour. I'm not sure, but Bolted Meal could have been used as a substitute for flour by those who couldn't or didn't grow wheat.

Patty Haven't made up my mind yet when to go. Usually go in July or August. They seem to be booked up for now. Maybe the HomeComing. I think it's held some time in October. I had a SMITH uncle. CARL SMITH married my aunt OCIA DELK. I forget who his parents were I'll look it up I have it here somewhere. His mother was CORDIE BRUMMET...daughter of NANCY JANE CRABTREE BRUMMET. If I'm wrong someone corret Please.. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

Milly, My granpa Milton's sons were Carl Clayton Smith married to Estell unknown to me, and Neal Ralph Smith, my moma said he died young about 22-23 from a truck accident. They are both deceased. According the Gary's Overton County Roll, Neal is buried Johnnie Sells Cemetery, and Carl is buried at Robbins. I will have to go to them. I just run across that Cordie Brummet and Nancy Jane Crabtree in my Newberry line a couple of weeks ago. I will have to check that out again.

Thanks, Patty. Now I know. BTW there were 3 one cent stamps on the letter....My Granny gave me the letters my mother had written to her from 1946 to July 1949 when she died. I love reading them. She also gave me the derss she wore to the hospital. I still have it also. I also found one Miss GRACIE WILLIAMS YORK had written to me also. She was telling me about who all had died and for me to stop and see her when I came back down to Pall Mall. I will see if I can find your Granny's store when I come down again. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

Milly, Those precious letters are held close to the heart aren't they. When are you planning on going down? Maudie (Young) Hancock lived in the little store for a while, she passed in 2002. She was a really sweet women. My step-grandfather Milton Smith's farm is on Harmon Smith also. His grandson lives on the farm now, but none of the orginal buildings are left. There was an old oak tree that stood there, but it went down in a storm a couple of years ago. The last time I was there, I could still see the old house in my mind, and all of us youngster taken baths on the screened in back porch. Funny how things go, Grannie's (my moma's mother) second marriage was to granpa Milton, who was not blood relation, but his first wife (who died) Fanny Newberry was my Daddy's relation. And my first granpa was a Smith also, and he and Milton were not related. It makes a line hard to follow, so I have two Smith lines I cannot connect yet.

Hi List While going through some old papers. trying to down size..but just hate throwing things away that looks intresting. My father got out of the navy, came to Pall Mall to get Mother and me to live in Devonia, Anderson County. We had moved February 1946. I found an old letter my mother wrote to Granny Delk. It was written on the bcak andhalf the front of a bill that that Sgt York sent to her. It was dated 1-23-1946. The letter head below Sergent Alvin C York & Son Dealers in General Merchandise and Groceries "York's Special " Bolted Meal What would "Bolted Meal be???? Mother owed him $39.59. I would expect it was a lot in 1946. She mentioned a WHEELER and FRANK. Suppose it was first names. Also, EDD DELK. She was very upset because they had lost her can of lard. Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning.... One Brilliant Flash and It's Gone.......

Milly, That was very interesting. My Grannie used to say she wished she had some bolted meal. She said it was meal that was ground very, very fine. She used to sell it in her little Grocery Store on Harmon Smith Road in Alpine. That little store is still standing and they have planted tons of beautiful flowers all around it. It is so charming. My Papa had built on to the back of it before they left Alpine. If you take corn meal and grind it in a blender, you will have bolted meal. Thanks for bringing back that memory Milly. My heart clings to them stories.
