Congratulations, Mr. Snell! This is recognition well deserved for years of service! ----- Original Message ----- From: East Tennessee Historical Society <eths@east-tennessee-history.org> To: <TNBRADLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 3:25 PM Subject: [TNBRADLE] ETHS Awards of Excellence Presented-- Teaching Excellence Award Bradley County Professor Wins Teaching Excellence Award from East Tennessee Historical Society A Bradley County professor's dedication to his students and community has earned the East Tennessee Historical Society's prestigious Teaching Excellence Award. William R. Snell received the award for his efforts in promoting the history of the Bradley County area and his teaching at Lee University. Kent Whitworth, director of the historical society announced, "We are pleased to present our annual Teaching Excellence Award to William Snell for his work as an inspiring teacher who has imparted a love of history to his students at Lee University and to the community at large. In addition to his work as an exemplary teacher, Professor Snell also serves as the official historian for Bradley County and for the city of Cleveland. His weekly newspaper column brings the region's history to life for readers of the Cleveland Daily Banner, proving that the best teachers do not limit their work to the classroom. His efforts remind us the value of our past and the need to preserve our collective memory." The ETHS Awards of Excellence were created in 1984 to recognize superior achievements in the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of East Tennessee's history. The ceremonies, held Tuesday, May 16, at the Riverfront Tavern, in Knoxville, marked the 17th annual presentation of the awards.

You have probably heard about this but I want to send it out anyway. Most of these Virus Alerts we hear about are not valid but this one is REAL. The main protection from the virus is to NOT open the "I Love You" file that is attached to the e-mail received. Most of the Virus Protection centers are working on a fix for it and some are up on the web as of now. These only work if you have this special virus-fix program on your computer. There are probalby others on the list that can direct us to those fixit sites. My school got hit hard with the virus this morning. It was spread in an e-mail message that came from (of all places) our computer IT group. It went to everyone at the school and was sent out again by many. Of course since many of us are on the mailing lists of each other, some received it several times, and was even sent back to the IT department. They had to shut down the computer e-mail system and clean the files one computer at a time in order to stop the "looping." Anyone that uses Outlook will send the virus on to others automatically. So just because you catch it the first time, it will probably be back. I don't think that it will be sent automatically if you use Netscape for your mail. So, over the next week or so, be on the lookout for ANY ATTACHMENTS that you receive. Since the virus comes in e-mails from someone that you know, don't open them. Delete it immediately and then go to your "trash" bin or file and clean it as well. Noel Matthews noelm@noelm.com

looking for information on William McConnell b. ca 1835 in N.C. per census records that had a son named Daniel b. ca 1853 in Ducktown, Tenn. William had other children and was in Crittenden Co. Kentucky in 1870, and per censsus data he had a child born ca 1860 in ILL.. He apparently traveled around and it seems everywhere he was there are hardly any records for him. He was married to Martha M. Barger in 1875 in Crittenden Co. Kty, his secord or third wife. Then he shows up in 1880 in Shasta Co. Ca. He is my brick wall, any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Carol

I would like to take this time to thank every one that gave me so much information on the area of Copperhill, <<I did learn that it was one word , also>>. What one person did not say another one said a little different and every thing helped so much. Now, I would like for you to help again, In the Town of Copperhill, I would like to know if any of you have any information on Epperson's about in the 1853, and also GADDIS'. I have had a very hard time trying to find the GADDIS', When I found that the Epperson's lived there, I thought maybe some one would have in their files some information on the Gaddis, also. The Epperson's name I have is Wilford <Wink>> Epperson in 1853, the family did end up in coming to Alabama. And one of them married into the Gaddis' Family. But the Gaddis, William Lucallen Gaddis, I am hunting his brothers and sister, and parents. Name that were in a Family Bible, by an elder aunt, These names could be first names , nick and middle, please read and look over for me. Dock Gaddis Joe or Joseph Gaddis Ellis Gaddis Miller William Lucallen Gaddis abt. b. 1866 Eva, Evelyne, or Evline Gaddis, she married a Mr.. Dockery, could be William Wesley Dockery. B. 1865 We can only guess at the other dates of birth , but should be between 1865 on. We have two sets of names that could be parents, Jake and Nancy Gaddis and Hubert and Annie Gaddis. I did find a Miller and Eva in Gilmer Co., Ellijay, Ga. I have learn from you the List, that the towns are some what close, to the northern part of Ga.
