well we have new one - I had a fellow contact me today wanting some information on his ancestor-- I suggested he try the Whitwell Library-- He called information and was told there was no such place as Whitwell Tn. --- so I just wanted those of you that live in that area to know, that according to the telephone company you really don't live there. LOL Can't believe how the quality of service has gone down with Ma bell since I worked there many moons ago. Please let me know where all of you have moved too and was it a mass exit?
