thank you I sent her the information along with Eulines too . ----- Original Message ----- From: dennylambert@bellsouth.net To: tnmarion@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 2:31 AM Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Fw: New Hope Academy Barbara, The Looney's Creek community located near Whitwell, which is thought to be the Powell's Crossroads community now, had a post office beginning in 1851 with Joseph B. Kelly as postmaster. In October 1884, the post office was moved from its former location and renamed for the Sunnyside community before being discontinued in July 1890 with John Hudson being the last postmaster. It seems unlikely that another community in Marion County had the same Sunnyside name during the same period of time that your grandfather attended school. There was a school at Looney Creek early on so it is possible that this school or another in the community was once known as New Hope Academy. I hope this helps.
