Hello everyone! I want to thank you for the wonderful information that I received from this list regarding Doctor McCartt. Because of your help, I was able to find his marriage record to Adaline Stonecipher, and trace him in the 1930 census to Barberton, Ohio. I have another question that maybe someone could help me with. I ordered the Morgan County Deed Index from the Family History Center, but didn't find Henry O McCart in it. I am working on a DAR application for my husband's daughter, and need to find some proof that connects Robert McCartt to Henry O. I have seen dozens of genealogies that say Henry O McCart died in Morgan County, Tennessee about 1829, but I must be looking in the wrong places, because I can't find an original source for his death. Thanks again for all your help! Marcia McCartt Monroe, Ohio ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

McCammon-Ammons-Click Funeral Home, Maryville 982-6812 www.mccammonammonsclick.com HARBIN, F.H. "HACK" - Out in his office this morning things still look the same. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling with a hundred-year lifetime of memories and achievements. He was a charter member and past president of the Powell Lions Club, where he was chairman of their main fundraiser for 48 years, the Powell Lions Club Horse Show. One wall is covered with Lions awards: White Cane Day, Lion of the Year, the prestigious Melvin Jones award for humanitarianism, and his cherished collection of buttons and pins from years of Lions International conventions. Another wall has hundreds of blue ribbons (even a few red and yellow ones) and a case of trophies won by the Tennessee Walking Horses he owned and showed with various trainers over the years. There is a picture of his 1965 world champion "Bell Aire's Merry Me". A book shelf that once held house plans, subdivision plot maps, sewer and water treatment plant designs from his years as president of his own general con! tracting firm, now houses more memories: his autographed baseball, (he was a Braves fan), his tri-folded confederate flag presented to him as the grandson of Jasper Harbin, a confederate war veteran, the gavel he used as the first president of the Golden Harvesters (the senior adult ministries of Grace Baptist Church), a few joke books, a practice golf club and a few balls. Then there's the corner with political stuff. You can tell he was a Republican. There are pictures with Newt Gingrich, Don Sundquist, and John Duncan, a framed invitation to Ronald Reagan's inaugural, the certificate that says he was an honorary colonel for governor Winfield Dunn, and his autographed George W. Bush photo. Another corner has framed documents that honor him as a founding commissioner of the Hallsdale-Powell Utility District. He loved to tell the story about how, in 1955, he went door to door collecting $5 from each household desiring a reliable water system for the community. Now it's one ! of the state's largest districts, and the new water plant at M! elton Hi ll is to be named in his honor. When he retired, Knox County Executive Tommy Shumpert, declared April 26, 1999, "F.H. Harbin Day" in his honor of his 45 years of community service. All this "stuff" is still there, but something is missing. The News Sentinel will stay in the box today, the Bible on his desk will stay closed, and his desk chair is empty. Hack went home to be with his Lord, November 5, 2007. Della, his wife of 68 years, his son, Bill, and daughter, Elizabeth, have been waiting there. He leaves behind sons and daughters-in-law, Ronald and Lola Harbin, Kenneth and Betty Harbin; daughters and sons-in-law, Hilda and Bob Mills, Joyce and Bill Shupe, Janice and John Danner. There are 18 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren; and 9 great great grandchildren. Only one life 'twill soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last. He was a member of Grace Baptist Church, where he was instrumental in acquiring the land for their Family Life Center and served on its b! uilding committee. Special thanks to caregivers Sherry Morris and Doctor Richard Antonucci and his wonderful staff. Family will receive friends from 5 to 7 pm Thursday with the funeral following at Grace Baptist Church. Meet us at Highland Memorial for interment Friday 11 am.

Sam Hoskins-former teacher and Principal at Oakdale School passes away, Sunday Nov. 4, 2007 A hero to the end - Former principal dies By Judy Underwood A hero to the end—Former principal dies Sam Hoskins’ life ended Sunday but the memory of his courage, heroism and wonderful sense of humor will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Hoskins dedicated his life to children in Morgan County with some 35 years as an educator. From 2001 to 2005 he served as principal of Oakdale School. “I just loved him,” said Morgan County Executive Becky Ruppe. Hoskins was Ruppe’s teacher while she was a student at Oakdale. Years later she represented the Oakdale community as a member of the Morgan County Board of Education while Hoskins was principal. “I could always count on him to tell me like it was and to make me laugh,” Ruppe said. She added that most of the really good stories weren’t suitable for publication. Hoskins followed former Superintendent of Schools Paul Scarbrough as principal at Oakdale and the two worked together for more than 30 years. “Sam was the most courageous individual I’ve ever known,” Scarbrough said. Hoskins was a decorated soldier who earned several Purple Hearts in VietNam. “He lost an eye and suffered terrible injuries to his arm but he never looked on the negative side and considered it an honor to have served his country,” Scarbrough said. He faced the diagnosis of cancer with bravery but also with the personality trait that served him well. “He always kept his sense of humor.” Anyone acquainted with Hoskins is well aware of his ability to make those around him laugh and to make children feel like they mattered because they did to him. “He was just a super nice guy, well liked and he really touched those children,” Scarbrough said.

GRUBBS, SUSAN DALLAS - age 50, passed away peacefully at her South Knoxville home, with her husband by her side, on Friday, October 19, 2007, after a courageous battle with cancer. Susan spent her entire career in the service of others both in her professional and private life. Initially, working in women's health as a clinical nurse practitioner, for a fledgling Thompson Cancer Center Mammography program, where she even drove the Mobile Mammography Bus to many remote locations throughout East Tennessee which at the time was the only way rural women had any hope for access to this invaluable screening tool. She was one of a core group of Nurse Practitioners serving women at Planned Parenthood of ET and also served as an instructor for UT's FMP program, all the while championing women's health issues...throughout her all too brief life. A volunteer from an early age, she served as a candy striper during her teenage years at Holston Valley Community Hospital in Kingsport. As a! n adult she has served as a Girl Scout troop leader for over 12 years during which time several of her Girl Scouts received their Silver and Gold Awards. In addition she served as the South Knoxville Service Unit Coordinator for the Tanasi Council, for nine years. Susan's fight and love of life was evidenced when even after completing a chemotherapy session an hour before could not keep her from her duty as "cookie sergeant" during the GS cookie sales. She would go straight from a chemo session to help dispense a truckload of cookies to individual troop leaders or work with troop leaders on what seemed to be insurmountable issues. She was born August 24, 1957, in Kingsport, Tennessee, and grew up in the community of Colonial Heights. She graduated from Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, Tennessee, where she was valedictorian, senior class president, and yearbook editor, among other honors and activities. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Microbiology from ! the University of Tennessee in 1979, and a Master's degree in ! Nursing at UT in 1986.

HARRIS, CAROLINE CLEMENS - age 84, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 20th at St. Mary's Residential Hospice with her humor and her beauty of spirit intact. Caroline began her life journey in Morristown, TN in 1923 as the beloved daughter of Katherine (Kate) Allen Clemens and Burt McGaughey Clemens. The family moved to the Morningside neighborhood just east of downtown Knoxville six weeks later, where she met her dear friends, Ruth (Collins) Pierce, Marty (Whaley) Russell, and Frankie (Fonde) Brogan. They, and three other childhood friends, have loved and supported each other their whole lives as the "Morningside Girls". Caroline graduated from Knoxville High School in 1940 and attended the University of Tennessee during World War II where she was designated a "U.T. Beauty". While at the university majoring in Child Development, she was honored with a placement at the Merrill-Palmer Institute for Child and Family Development in Detroit, MI, afterwards returning to f! inish her degree. This degree would soon come in handy as she was swept off her feet by a dashing U.S. Army Captain, Daniel Montgomery "Bus" Harris, home on leave from his service on Gen. Douglas MacArthur's staff in the Pacific. They were married March 5, 1946, and soon thereafter began their close and loving family of six children. Caroline was not only a loving wife and mother, she was also very involved in the community. She was instrumental in the founding of Agape, a halfway house for women recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, and the Detoxification and Rehabilitation Institute, an addiction treatment center for both men and women. In 1977 she instituted the Patient Representative services for St. Mary's Medical Center, a job she performed with great joy and skill until retiring in her late seventies. Through the years, Caroline was known for her modeling, love of poker, and creative writing, particularly, clever limericks marking friends' birthdays and special! occasions. She and Bus enjoyed an active social life until hi! s death in 1969, with memberships in Cherokee Country Club and Cat n' Fiddle Club. She was a member of Chi Omega Fraternity, a 60 year member of the Junior League of Knoxville, and a past member of Nine O' Clock and Girls' Cotillion Clubs. In her later years, she was beloved "Mimi" to her 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Caroline's other passions included U.T. football, Atlanta Braves baseball, music and puzzles of all kinds. Throughout her life, people who encountered her were drawn to her humor, intelligence, and the ability she possessed to make each individual feel important. She persevered through the losses of a cherished husband, daughter and grandson. Her vibrancy was never diminished by a series of surgeries and other physical trials. Caroline was preceded in death by her parents, Katherine Allen and Burt Clemens; husband, Daniel Montgomery (Bus) Harris; daughter, Caroline (Carol) Harris; and grandson Danny Harris. She leaves to celebrate her life: Children: Barb! ara (Babs/Jamie) Harris and husband David Massey; Daniel (Monty) Harris and wife Beth; Michael (Mike) Harris and wife Claudia, of Seattle, WA; Mary Harris Straight and husband Bob; and Ben Harris and wife Lisa, of Atlanta, GA. Grandchildren: Kevin Massey; Christy Moffett Ward; Byron, Ean, and Ryan Moffett; Brandy and Shelby Harris; Robert and Caroline Straight; and Catherine and Patricia Harris.
