    2. Edgar D. Byler, III
    3. Good evening all: I can't believe the Titans are going to the Superbowl in Atlanta. Yahoo!!! So don't expect of even thing about any new additions to the Wayne County, TN page next weekend; I'll be glued to the TV watching the game!!!! Have added some more history to teh page. I've posted an article entitled The Development of the Iron Industry in the Upper Buffalo River Valley. address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwayne/bufriver.htm That article should be of interest to anyone researching the iron industry in Northeast Wayne, Northwest Lawrence and Southern Lewis Counties in Tennessee. Have also added some new photographs to the Wayne County Photograph Album: 1. A set of 6 photographs from about 1925 of the Chemical Plant at Collinwood entitled "The 'Muscle Shoals Monthly' Photographs", address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwayne/collinwood/msm0.htm 2. 2 photographs of the Sam Coltrane - Myrtle Burns wedding party and reception from 1916. Address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwayne/collinwood/coltrane.htm Sam Coltrane was the manager of the Tennessee Valley Iron and Railroad Company's experimental farm north of Collinwood, TN. An interesting character appears in both photographs: Mr. John Peter Holm, who had been Danish Vice Consul at Perth Amboy NJ between 1900-1909 and was at the time of the photograph (1916), editor of the "Collinwood Pilot" newspaper. More to come later, but it will have to wait till after the Super Bowl next Sunday. Have fun. Edgar Edgar D.
