    1. [TNROOTS] Discover Your Civil War Ancestors, Free Workshop in Columbia, TN
    2. East Tennessee Historical Society

    3. Whether your ancestors wore blue or gray in the American Civil War, the East Tennessee Historical Society is offering a free workshop to help find your family’s Civil War story. The free class will be held 2 to 4 p.m. (Central Time) on Saturday, August 24, 2002, in the Cherry Theatre on the campus of Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tennessee. The instructor, Dr. George K. Schweitzer, is a popular, nationally known lecturer and author of nineteen genealogy research books. Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by Maury County Archives. For additional information about the free workshop contact the Maury County Archives at 931-381-1565 or visit the ETHS web site at http://www.east-tennessee-history.org. East Tennessee Historical Society PO Box 1629, 600 Market St. Knoxville, Tennessee 37901-1629 http://www.east-tennessee-history.org

    1. [TNROOTS] state death registration

    3. Just a note concerning the list of state death registrations. The State of Tennessee began recording births and deaths in 1908. The law expired at the beginning of 1913 and the state did not keep the records for that year. A new law went into effect in 1914. The larger cities recorded births and deaths before the state laws were enacted. Nashville births span 1881-1913 and Nashville deaths 1874-1913. Knoxville, Chattanooga and Memphis also have records earlier than 1908. You will find an index for the 1908-1912 death records here: www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/death2.htm There are county and city births and deaths records in many states that are much earlier than the state records. Check this web site for information: www.facsnet.org/tools/ref_tutor/findem/records.php3

    3. Hi Conniesue, The links are below. If the Courier Press link to the article doesn't work, I included exactly how I got there. The article would be in the edition of the Courier Press of July 16 not July 24. Let me know how you make out. If this doesn't work I'll copy and paste the entire article......never mind, just in case, I've done it anyway!<g> Linda Bee Citizen Press - the article is dated July 16, 2002 and is under "Local News". http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=4757363&BRD=2040&PAG=461&dept_id=23222 8&rfi=6 This is the site I got the link from History News Network http://hnn.us/ The link to the Courier Press article on burial customs in TN is about 1/5 of the way down the page History News Network http://hnn.us/articles/819.html 19th Century Burial Customs Explored The recent excavation and relocation of more than three dozen bodies from a cemetery has sparked interest regarding burial customs in 19th century Giles County, Tennessee. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=4757363&BRD=2040&PAG=461&dept_id=23222 8&rfi=6 19th century burial customs explored By: CLAUDIA JOHNSON, Staff Writer July 16, 2002  J$   J$  The metal burial cases, which began to be used in Giles County in the 1850s, redefined the terminology of dead body containers away from the harsh connotations of "coffins." The recent excavation and relocation of more than three dozen bodies from the Mason Cemetery in the new industrial park has sparked interest regarding burial customs in 19th century Giles County. In the early days of the county before undertaking became a business, coffins were made by carpenters and usually cost $1.50 a piece, the price for the man's work, according to Tom Carden in his 1904 articles on the history of the Pisgah community. A winding sheet and veil were the furnishings for the corpse. Initially, Giles County undertakers were also furniture makers who advertised custom coffins and hearse services in local newspapers. Pulaski furniture maker C.W. Cofer advertised in the Feb. 21, 1850, edition of a local newspaper, The Western Standard, that coffins "will be made either fine or plain according to order on reasonable terms." Cofer assured "those who patronize him" that he had "a fine hearse" and would be "well prepared at all times to attend burials at the shortest notice possible." Frazier and Lytle purchased Cofer's furniture company in 1852 and continued to operate the business on the south side of Madison Street, a few doors from the southwest corner of the public square. They advertised custom made coffins and use of a hearse in the Oct. 20, 1852, Democrat. Carden noted that in 1854 there was an epidemic of dysentery, called brown flux, which killed people by the score, ofttimes almost exterminating large families. The historian told of the Sept. 2, 1854, death of Pisgah land owner Charles Pitts who was buried in a metallic coffin. "I think it was the first coffin of that kind ever seen at this place," Carden remarked. "It was the shape of a man and was copper lined and was very heavy. It is said to have looked very frightful." The Nov. 19, 1858, The Pulaski Citizen advertised the new furniture firm of Frazier and Mitchell, which had "the exclusive right to sell Crane's world-renowned patent metallic burial casket in Giles County." Customers could choose from a selection "from fine to plain." By April 15, 1859, the firm's advertisement in The Citizen identified the business as "dealers in furniture and chairs and undertakers." Wood coffins, both fine and plain, were "still made at short notice." A hearse and horses were furnished free, and metallic burial caskets "of all sizes from infant's to a grown person's" were available. "To all who have seen these caskets, they need no recommendation from us," noted the advertisement. James Mason, son of early settlers Isaac and Nancy Mason, died in December 1859 and was buried in the Mason Cemetery in a fancy metallic case with a glass viewing panel. When archeologists working in the cemetery discovered the casket, the glass panel had collapsed against the body, preserving some of the blue suit in which he was buried. His brother, Albert, a Civil War solider, died in January 1865 and was buried in a very plain metal case, which archeologists unearthed. Several more of the cases were found during the removal of bodies from the Mason Cemetery, including one fancy case molded to appear shroud-draped. All but one of the caskets had cracked or broken. In the summer of 1859 a competitor in the furniture and funeral business, John J. Ducker, promised that "all orders for coffins will be promptly and speedily filled at any hour of the day or night and delivered to any part of the county at any specified hour" from his shop on the west side of the square. "He has purchased a beautiful hearse, which, together with a pair of gentle and reliable horses and a careful driver, are at the command of all who patronize him in the undertaking business," he promised, adding, "A share of the public patronage is most respectfully solicited." In June 8, 1860, Pulaski Citizen, A.L.& W.A. Crow announced that their stone cutting business on Third Main Street, south, would take "country produce, promissory notes or in pinch, cash" in exchange for anything in their line. Work would also be given "in liquidation of any just debt." In the same Citizen issue George W. Woodring advertised a "fine assortment of monuments made of the finest statuary and Italian marble, and purchased in such a manner as to enable him to furnish them a great deal cheaper than they have ever been bought in this market before." He also promoted stone cutting, monuments and tombs of every description available at his stone yard on Second Main Street near the square "at cash prices for horses, mules or pork." At the onset of the Civil War, Frazier and Mitchell advertised that they were the "only house in the county" that kept Crane's Metallic Caskets. Two-and-one-half half years after the Civil War ended, Sam C. Mitchell & Co., was advertising metallic and wood coffins, a "splendid hearse" and Mitchell's undertaking services with "terms: cash." While the style and expense of coffins had varied according to wealth even in colonial times, the 19th century witnessed a sustained era of coffin improvements. With the basic idea of storing a dead body within a closed container fairly well established, the improvements in the mid-19th century aimed at a more protective and aesthetic device. The metal burial cases advertised in Pulaski in the 1850s had debuted in Providence, R.I., in the late 1840s. Cincinnati, Ohio, stove- and hollowware manufacturers Crane, Breed & Co. purchased the Fisk Metallic Burial Case Company in 1853 and quickly began large-scale production. These metal "cases" redefined the terminology of dead body containers away from the harsh connotations of "coffins." The mummy-shaped cases had luxurious silk lining materials, glass viewing windows for the face or the entire corpse and individualized nameplates and varied in length from 22 inches to six-and-one-half feet. They were advertised as "thoroughly enamelled inside and out" and purported to be "impervious to air and indestructible." When properly secured with cement, Fisk's metallic cases were purported to be "perfectly air tight and free from exhalation of offensive gases." The cases were advertised in large northern cities as "preserving in the most secure and appropriate manner, the remains of the dead from sudden decay, from water, from vermin and from the ravages of the [sic] dissecting knife," drawing attention to the concern that grave robbers would remove bodies for study in medical schools, a common problem in the mid-19th century. For more information on the Mason Cemetery relocation and period burial customs, the public is invited to attend the July 28 meeting of the Giles County Historical Society at 2 p.m. in the First National Bank community room, where Dan Allen, archeologist in charge of the Mason Cemetery project, will speak.
