Hi All:  Ava York was enumerated in the household of Jefferson York and Rhoda (Riddle) York in the 1850 Fentress Co, TN census.  Her name is believed to be Avasilla Caroline York b. about 1845-1846 Fentress Co, TN.  She is not with the family in 1860 Fentress Co, TN census.  This may mean that she died before 1860 (less than 14 years old) or she may have married very young and was out of the home.   Anyone knowing anythng about Avasilla Caroline "Ava" York, please let me know

GASTON - Norma Kay Kaiser, 69, passed away, Thursday, April 28, 2011, at home after a long and courageous nine year battle with cancer. She was born March 12, 1942, in Jamestown, Tennessee, the daughter of Ernest and Wilma (Gunter) Winningham. She never forgot her family heritage or where she came from. She enjoyed taking trips back, each season, to be "recertified". She grew up in the Gaston area and graduated from Harrison Township High School. She cherished her friendship with her old "HHS Buddies", Gloria Ryan, Rita Sayre, Alice Reed, Jane Ellen Niccum, Carolyn Duckworth, and Marilyn Bessler, that lasted sixty years. Norma loved traveling, music, gardening, decorating, holidays, friends, and family. She loved LIFE. Norma was the beloved wife of James E. "Tiny" Kaiser, whom she married on February 12, 1966 in St. Lawrence Catholic Church. Other survivors include a sister and brother-in-law, Helen and Bill Long, Gaston; a brother, James J. Winningham (wife, Cindy), Muncie; a sister, Hazel M. Grayson, Albany; three nieces, Lori A. Armantrout, Gaston, Lisa R. Johnson (husband, Curt), Bamburg, Germany, Shannon Kay Dettwiler, Toronto, Canada; a special Lori #2, Lori Newell; three nephews, Greg Long (wife, Kim) Muncie, Dave Winningham (wife, Diana), Muncie, James E. Grayson, Albany; a brother-in-law, Fred Kaiser (wife, Beth) Muncie; a sister-in-law, Sue Kaiser, Muncie; also surviving are many more loving nieces, great nieces, nephews, and great nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, William F. Drumm; a sister, Geraldine Winningham; a brother, Ralph Gene Winningham; and a niece, Rebecca L. Long. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:00 a.m., Monday, May 2, 2011, at St. Lawrence Catholic Church with Father Dennis Goth officiating. Burial will follow in Elm Ridge Cemetery. Family and friends may call from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m., Sunday, May 1, 2011 at The Meeks Mortuary and Crematory, Washington Street Chapel. It was Kay's desire to honor, acknowledge, and thank three local community resources, the staff and friends at Elmcroft of Muncie, Hospice, and The Cancer Center (especially Dr. Fisher). In lieu of flowers friends may wish to make memorials to these organizations, c/o BMH Foundation, 2401 W. University Ave., Muncie, IN 47303. -- Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy sh** - what a ride!"

Hi All:  I will be demonstrating how to use York's Fentress Co, TN genealogy database at 6 p.m. this Friday, April 29, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel located at 516 N. Main St., Jamestown.  I will also be sharing and gathering info from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, April 30, at the Fentress County History Roundup at the York Institute cafeterial.  Then on May 7 I will be set up at the event described below from about 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the York General Store in Pall Mall.   I hope that you will come to these events and tell your friends about them.   Remember, anyone who joins the Fentress County Historical Society at any of these events will receive a free copy of York's Fentress Co, TN genealogy database which now has 302,000 names.   Look forward to seeing you.  Love, Bruce From: Claudia Johnson, Executive Director Sgt. York Patriotic Foundation <sypfdirector@gmail.com> Subject: Please help up promote your event in Pall Mall To: "Bruce York" <bruceyork1243@yahoo.com>, padenat@hotmail.com, "Joe & Karen Barkley" <kjbarkley@att.net>, pigroast@twlakes.net, cbgraphics@usa.com, rlaplant@adarlingboutique.com, cludgate@frontiernet.net, artbyjoni@gmail.com, mekozel@gmail.com, centeroflight1@yaoo.com, "Deb Genchi" <underglass8@twlakes.net>, scopley60@twlakes.net, "Jerry Stout" <mrtncreek@yahoo.com>, "Carla Khouri" <blueheron05@twlakes.net> Date: Tuesday, April 26, 2011, 12:32 PM PRESS RELEASE   For Immediate Release   Press Contact Claudia Johnson, Executive Director Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation 931.309.0933 sypfdirector@gmail.com   Free event May 7 celebrates Tennessee cultural arts and heritage   Art, music, food and history are all part of the Sgt. York Cultural Arts and Heritage Celebration, a free event on May 7 at the Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park in Pall Mall, Tenn. Sponsored by the non-profit Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation (SYPF) and funded in part by an Arts Build Communities grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, the event features craftsmen and artisans demonstrating skills that would have been commonly engaged in throughout the Wolf River Valley and Cumberland Plateau during Sgt. Alvin C. York’s lifetime. “Many of these skills are now preserved as arts,” said SYPF executive assistant Sarah Voiles, coordinator for the event. “Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on May 7 we are proud to showcase an impressive list of Tennessee artists and craftsman demonstrating and discussing their talents throughout the day as well as making their creations available for purchase.” Among the artists demonstrating are Mary Curren, who spins llama hair into wearable creations; Natali and Paul Devine, a husband and wife team who make colorful hand-dyed baskets using reeds and white oak; Julie Styer, whose talents include wood burning and painting; Patti Ognibene, creator of handmade colorful, wire wrapped jewelry and free form art; Lynne Looney, who creates large modern and abstract art; Maxine Osburn, who grows gourds and turns them into works of art; Chuck Becker, who paints landscapes in oil and acrylic; Robin Blaine, who weaves on a handmade, Native American loom and discusses the traditions of beading and the Native American way of life; and Chuck Blaine, who creates and plays dulcimers. Other participating artists include Carol Ludgate, who does realistic paintings; Joan Swanson, specializing in portraits and landscapes; Doug Thompson, who fuses metal and wood to create artistic benches and boxes; Rachel LaPlant, who makes jewelry for women and girls; abstract artist Jack Holtz; Debra Genchi, who works with vintage fabric and materials; and members of the Fentress County Artist Guild. In addition to the arts, the Celebration will offer World War I displays of artifacts, interpreters in period attire, a live, online genealogical research booth, book signings by local authors and tours of Sgt. York’s home, farm, mill, Bible School, nature trail and burial site. Sgt. York’s three surviving children will be present throughout the day to meet visitors and answer questions about their father. World War I military artifacts and other period pieces will be presented and discussed by Alison Vick from her extensive collection of historic artifacts. Mark Thompson will demonstrate black powder shooting and display and explain the associated equipment and ammunition. Presenting the genealogical information is Bruce E. York, creator of York's Fentress County, Tenn., genealogy database. He will demonstrate and share information collected during 55 years or research, containing more than 301,000 names of deceased and living persons connected to the Cumberland Plateau.  Dressed in the appropriate uniform, Joe Barkley will assume the persona of a World War I sergeant in the First Division. “His story begins with his training in the US, his boat trip to France and continues to the battlefield of the Meuse-Argonne,’ Voiles said. “He will be armed as a trench raider and will make the audience believe that they have talked to a real Doughboy.” The Fentress County Historical Society’s booth is featuring publications and displays about the history of the region. At 1 p.m., author and lecturer Dr. Calvin Dickinson will discuss his new book, Soldiers, Spies and Spartans, which highlights the heroic efforts of children and women in Tennessee during the Civil War. “Visitors will begin their experience at York General Store and Visitor Center at Sgt. Alvin C. York State Historic Park, where they will receive a Celebration site map and schedule of the day’s events,” Voiles explained, adding that food is available all day at the store’s deli, with all proceeds benefiting the visitor center. “Registration for door prizes will take place inside the store.” Spankie’s Smokehouse will be on hand to offer additional food choices. In support of the event, PWP Greenhouse in Pall Mall is offering a 10 percent discount on all purchases of more than $10 upon presentation of the Celebration program. For further information about the event and its sponsors, Voiles recommended visiting www.sgtyork.org and www.yorkgeneralstore.blogspot.com. “These websites offer many resources for those who plan to visit, including a downloadable deli menu, a topographical tour map, brochures and GPS coordinates,” Voiles said. For more information call York General Store at 931-879-3657 or email Voiles at sypfexecutiveassistant@gmail.com.
