All, I found this article which describes those weird looking headstones that are shaped like logs. There are several in the Coffey Cemetery in Oneida, Scott Co, TN. I imagine their are others in other cemeteries in our neighboring counties. Thought you might find it interesting. ...tim west... Scott Co, TN Coordinator for the TNGenWeb Project The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2003 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. Information about the newsletter is available at http://www.eogn.com <http://www.eogn.com/>. Tombstones That Look Like Logs Let's face it. Genealogists spend a lot of time in cemeteries. Those who visit cemeteries in the Midwest and western states often find tombstones that look like logs or tree stumps. Some simpler designs look like regular tombstones but with a circular design on them with a log, a dove, an axe, maul, and wedge, and the inscription, "Dum Tacet Clamat" ("Though silent, he speaks"). Most of these tombstones were placed there in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. What are these unique legacies left behind? What is the significance of the logs or tree stumps? In 1883, a man by the name of Joseph Cullen Root organized a fraternal society in Omaha, Nebraska, called "Modern Woodmen of America". As in many fraternal organizations of time, one of the benefits of being a member was that upon death, the other members would pass around a hat and donate money to the widow. Membership was limited to white males older than 18 years of age. Later, when passing around the hat became more frequent and costly, Root decided to sell life insurance to members. Modern Woodmen of America became a fraternal benefit society. Later, a women's auxiliary started up, called "Royal Neighbors of America." Both the male and female organizations grew steadily, and in five years, Modern Woodmen had a total membership of twenty-four thousand. In 1899, several members had a "falling out" with the leaders of the society and separated to form a new society under the leadership of Fred A. Falkenburg, which they named "Woodmen of the World". Shortly after, tensions were high in the new organization, and Falkenburg moved to Denver to form, "Woodmen of the World, Pacific Jurisdiction". Today, the three societies remain as insurance companies. Woodmen of the World created women's auxiliaries called "Woodmen Circle" and "Supreme Forest Woodmen," while the Pacific Jurisdiction created an auxiliary called "Neighbors of Woodcraft", which still exists as an insurance company in Portland, Oregon. Up until 1935, when a member died, the society would donate $100.00 towards the burial expenses if the surviving family allowed the society's emblem and/or wording to appear on the stone. These are the aforementioned designs that appear on the deceased members' gravestones. You can find numerous pictures of these tombstones on the Web, including at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/flaghold/flag081.htm <http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Esrgp/flaghold/flag081.htm> http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~rocky/Franklin_Cemeteries/greenlawn/wow.htm <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/%7Erocky/Franklin_Cemeteries/greenlawn/wow.htm> http://www.courses.rochester.edu/homerin/REL167/field_reports/stothers/stothers.html http://www.arches.uga.edu/~rac/beardin.html <http://www.arches.uga.edu/%7Erac/beardin.html> http://www.austinexplorer.com/Cemeteries/WilliamsonCounty/RoundRockCemetery/ http://okielegacy.org/journal/Vol5/OHTHV5-19.htm http://photoweb.lodestone.org/folder/719/en (click on the images to see a larger version) The most ornate one I could find is at http://darktreasures.com/Graveyards/FavoriteTombStones.htm (look at the bottom picture, click on it to see a larger image) What Do You Think?

Does anyone have access to the Scott Co newspapers, 1925 to 1930?

Rae, My daughter thinks it taste better with strawberry syrup. It does bring back memories. Debbie

I've got to try this. I only hope it's half as good as my grandmother's snow cream. My best memories of visiting my grandparents in Scott County was when it would snow and they would make snow cream for us. Being from Georgia it was a treat just to see the snow but the snow cream made it even better. Thanks for the info Debbie.

Dear List, I haven't seen anything come through about our Neal Byrge's son Thomas...Since Neal has done so much for everyone by posting obits and any info we may need, it is only fitting that I let you all know about Thomas so you can send condolences..Here is a letter I recieved..... =========================================================== Saturday evening our Son Thomas "Tom" had a massive stroke, the Dr's called it a bleeder which is the worst kind of stroke. Dr said they could operate to relieve the pressure on the brain but due to his other health problems (3 heart attaacks, 2 heart bypass surgeries he could not survive a operation, in his living will he stated that he did not want to be kept alive through artificial means, so we granted him thoes wishes and removed life support about 5:00 PM. 228 Oct 2003 He expired about 5-7 minutes later. He had been in a coma and not responding since Sunday night. His wishes were to not have a funeral. There will be a visitation on Sunday and he will be cremented, his ashes will be taken to a favorite place of his but this will not take place until December. He had requested his organs be donated, due to thoes health problems the only thing that usable was his corneas, so maybe he has helped some one to see. We are doing fine, and are comfortable with having granted him his wishes. Just wanted to let you know.
