Tom, a true renaissance man, lived a long, happy, and fruitful life. As a professor in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Tennessee, Tom spent 27 years inspiring the next generation of teachers. His love of poetry and children led him to publish Weeds in Wheels, an annual literary work featuring the best art and literature from school age children in East Tennessee. Pursuing his own literary dreams, Tom authored a book on the history of the Tennessee Derby, the first thoroughbred racing derby in the United States. An avid thoroughbred racing aficionado, Tom fulfilled a lifelong dream by owning and racing several horses during his retirement. As an active member of the Immaculate Conception parish, Tom participated in several ministries ranging from religious education to lecturing and Eucharistic ministry.

He lived for his family, volunteering his time as a coach or administrator as needed. He served as the first Regional Commissioner for Northeast Knoxville AYSO and coached numerous youth soccer and basketball teams. His brilliance, compassion, understanding, wisdom, and friendship will be dearly missed.

Despite the war, or rather because of it, Oneida was pretty much of a boom town, due to the demand for coal. The mines were going full bore, and the town's three railroads -- the Cincinnati-Southern, Tennessee and O&W -- were all going strong because of the mining. The trickle-down effect of that prosperity had a positive effect on virtually every business in and around Oneida. + Oneida's Mayors 1917 - 2007 # Lists the 19 men who have held the post of Mayor of the Town of Oneida in the 90 years since its incorporation + Jim Hamby of Brimstone: Without a Home, But Not Homeless # He was a tall, lanky man who quietly roamed the mountains of Brimstone, Emory and Coal Hill. Except for a stint working for Ritter Lumber Company, he never held a paying job. He was a drifter . . . a man without a home, but he wasn't homeless. This is the story of Jim Hamby. + In Memory of Mitchel Griffith # On January 17, 1947, Mitchel set out from Robbins riding a mule up the Brimstone Road so he could cross the Brimstone Mountains at Hamby Gap to get to Emory. Nightfall would come early on this overcast, winter day and as he passed houses up the Brimstone Road, he didn't tarry. Mitchel's family at Emory didn't know when to expect him home because when he left he said he might be gone two months. They didn't know he was on his way home. Several days passed before word spread up and down Emory and Brimstone that Mitchel was missing. o Added the Summer 2007, Vol 18, No. 4 + First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, 1882-2007 # Rev.

David was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Ruth Brasier. Survivors include his father, Rodney Brasier of Oak Ridge; daughter, Angela Brasier; grandchildren, Eternity Perry and Hunter Balzer; sister, Robin Summers and her husband, James, of Oak Ridge; nephew, Brad Summers of Oak Ridge; and special friends, Butch and Pat Wilson of Knoxville.
