Greetings List Members, Here is an excerpt from the author's message about the new book that contains newspaper material from the Pulaski Citizen: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a page from the past... Is being bound this week!!! If you ordered a copy and live out of town, your book will be in the mail first. Local party for anyone who wants to buy a book or has already bought one to be announced soon. Please forward this to others who may be interested. (or publish with my blessing) PULASKI, TENN. (June 6, 2005) - Reader requests solidified the decision to compile a page from the past... into a book, according to Claudia Johnson, the PULASKI CITIZEN staff writer and Campbellsville native who spent 18 months on a special project to celebrate the newspaper’s 150th birthday. Johnson has read hundreds of issues of the CITIZEN dating from the paper’s founding on Dec. 16, 1854, through modern times, all for the purpose of bringing CITIZEN readers a sense of how the paper covered the current events that have since become history. “I didn’t want this to be just another history project,” Johnson said, recalling how publisher Steve Lake and editor Scott Stewart were in complete agreement with her angle. “When you write for a newspaper, it’s humbling to realize that you could be producing the only lasting account of day to day happenings.” On her regular beat, to which she returned Jan. 3, Johnson covers county government, law enforcement, the judicial system, emergency services and other hard news. “Certainly there are official records of these, but there’s more to a story than a document,” Johnson commented, admitting that reading the old papers have reinforced her commitment to accurate reporting. “What’s in the paper is what the public in general will know, now and especially in the future.” The staff writer said it seems the public is interested in the news no matter when it happened judging from response to a page from the past... Johnson, Lake, Stewart and other staff members reported positive feedback from the weekly page, which featured clippings of CITIZEN stories on everything from horses, to education, to baseball, to industrial development, to an unsolved police slaying and visitors from outer space. Stories of national interest like wars, reconstruction, prohibition and suffrage were explored from the local perspective using the CITIZEN archives. Dozens of illustrations, including maps, photographs and postcards, have accentuated the reprinted articles and advertisements. “It was very challenging deciding what to use for each week’s page,” Johnson confessed. “I think I could have done this for the rest of my life and never exhausted the supply of interesting material. There are so many topics that were not touched just because there was not enough time.” She borrowed and scanned dozens of photographs, postcards, maps and documents for possible inclusion in the book, burning them to disk to donate to local historic organizations for safekeeping. Johnson’s reading of the hundreds of microfilmed CITIZEN issues, scanned as .pdf files at the expense of the CITIZEN, produced thousands of clippings organized into research categories and saved to disk. Additionally, she has printed and organized hundreds of copies from microfilm as well as the research materials she used to educate herself on many of the subjects of weekly installments. Consistently, the most frequent question asked by readers was, “Are you going to put this in a book?” When Pulaski Publishing owner Hershel Lake continued to hear it, the commitment was made. “People kept telling us that they were saving the weekly pages or sending them to friends or relatives out of town, but they’d like it in a more convenient format,” Stewart said, adding that the 250-page volume was printed by Holley’s Printing and bound by Sain Publications, both local companies.. All material that was printed in page from the past... for 52 weeks was reformatted into a 9 X 12 perfect-bound book printed on archival quality paper with a heavyweight, glossy cover. Johnson was intimately involved with every detail of the book’s layout just as she was with selection of every piece of material it contains. Each week since January 1, 2005, she has spent dozens of hours in addition to her full-time reporting job with the layout designer, Teresa Sibley of Holley’s Printing, determining placement of each story, advertisement or picture on every page, choosing fonts indicative of the era represented and proofreading and re-proofreading. The final chapter is the 48-page souvenir edition with all material and photographs selected by Johnson from archived newspapers and other sources highlighting the history of the PULASKI CITIZEN, which everyone who bought the newspaper on Dec. 16, 2004, received as a gift. The book is $27.95 plus applicable tax. Lake emphasized that due to the expense of the project, only a very limited number has been printed.

Dear Barbara, If you go to http://www.usgenweb.com/, on the left side is a link to each state's website. From there you can access each county. You would be looking for Davidson Co., TN which is http://www.rootsweb.com/~tndavids/nashgene.htm. It is important to note that each county within each state is, generally managed by a different person (there might be a few individuals who manage more than one county). So don't expect the same amount or kind of information in each county. Good luck in your research. Jim Danley Vista, CA

Folks, I have at least two cousins in the Brick Church Cemetery, Pulaski, Giles Co., Tennessee. They both served in the War Between The States for the Confederacy, and died during battle. Edward McMillan Gordon and John Martin Lane both share the same tombstone. At this time I can't tell you why they share the same stone other than that they both were from the Brick Church, Pulaski area, and of course, were 1st cousins. Edward died February 17, 1862 and John died October 07, 1863. To get to my request. I need digital photos of the tombstone. All four sides contain information. I hope to place them on my website along with my other Confederate soldier relatives. http://gordonfamilygenealogy.homestead.com/csa.html Thanks in advance for any help.

I was born on top of the Lloyd Hill, and family moved down near the church in a little rental house later. I do not remember those days, but do remember moving on over to the Corpier place, where Buddy Hobbs, your ancestor (I think), would visit us. We are somehow connected in the Hobbs family, just exactly not sure even though I've been working on this line for years. I am currently working on the new Giles Co., TN Heritage Book to be published in 2005/2006, would love to have you submit family, topical articles regarding that area. You can go to www.gilescotn.com to download the informational brochure re articles for the book. I will be glad to help you if you wish. Thanks gladys
