I'm sure most of you have been doing this but for those who haven't , here is my tip of the day...LOL I go to the Scott County web site and look for an obit of one of my surnames. I am related to a lot of the Wests and probably all of the Sextons. If I pull up an obit with the last name "Sexton" or "West" I get all the obits with that last name and then I just go down the line and look them all up in my files. I have been able to fill in a lot of missing info this way. Like, children's names, who they married, and dates. I look forward to Tim's updates because I can always find tons of info to put in my files. Tim does a great job with this site and works very hard for all of us. I always say that if you can't find what you are looking for on this site then you probably can't find it anywhere! I go there on a regular basis in case I've missed something and I usually find more info every time I visit. Good luck in your research and give my suggestion a try. Keep up the great job Tim and Thank you Very much. Rae

Does any one have a Milton or Lewis Adkins in their lines? I'm having trouble finding Lewis' father. I know his mother's name is Nancy (maiden name Unknown). Lewis is listed as living with her in the 1850 census. She's listed as a widow. Lewis married (1) Clara Harmon and (2) Susan Miller Day. Milton (Mit) married Lucinda Katherine Day, d/o George Day and Susan Miller. Lewis is listed in the 1880 with Susan as his wife. Is it safe to say that Susan was Lucinda's mother? There are 2 children in the household with the surname of Day. Can someone please help with this brick wall? I have been working on these Adkins' for a while now. I'd like to find who Lewis father was. Nancy Adkins Carroll

>From The Oak Ridger 8 Apr 2003 Sara Jo Bolling Mazur Locha Marie Ray Duncan, 80, of Claxton, Martha Elizabeth Denney Rigsby, 88, of Oak Ridge, Alice Faye Seiber Smith, ===================================== Sara Jo Bolling Mazur died at 8 a.m. Monday, April 7, 2003, at her home. The family indicated that the cause of death was cancer of the small intestine. She was born in Great Falls, S.C., on Nov. 4, 1922. Most of her "growing-up" was in Norris, although the family lived for a time in Benton and Knoxville. Her father, Landrum Bolling, was a dam construction engineer, and their living in Norris was occasioned by his work on the construction of Norris Dam in the early 1930s, the first dam to be built in the Tennessee Valley Authority system. The town of Norris was created by TVA for the purpose of the construction of the dam, but it was much more than that. Dignitaries from over the world visited it, including President Roosevelt and Mahatma Ghandi. As a cub reporter for the high school newspaper, she spent one day accompanying and interviewing Eleanor Roosevelt, and watched with awe as her father treated Mrs. Roosevelt to an aerial view of the emerging dam in an overhead concrete bucket. At age 19 in 1942, she married her childhood "pal" Kenneth Frame of Norris. While he served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, she worked as a payroll clerk in the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge. Among her "payees" was J. Robert Oppenheimer, the famous physicist who headed the scientific aspect of the development of the A-bomb. Like so many others, it wasn't until 1945 and the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima that she learned the nature and purpose of the project. Immediately after the war, she spent a year in Fort Myers, Fla., with her husband and her brother, David Bolling, of Clinton, during which time she worked as a dance instructor. Kenneth Frame, at that time, decided to pursue a career in dentistry, and after a year taking pre-dentistry courses at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, he attended and completed training at the University's School of Dentistry in Memphis. While there with him, Sara Jo worked as a bookkeeper in a local Army base. It was shortly before this that their daughter, Jennifer, was born. After receiving his degree in dentistry, they moved to Oak Ridge where he established a practice. She handled its financial aspects. In 1959, they built a house in Peach Orchard, the first private sub-division in Oak Ridge. On the hillside above, lived Eugene Joyce, the well-known local attorney. To their left and right were Earl and Maureen Crow and Clair and Kathy Collins. Below them were Peter and Drusilla Mazur. All became fast friends. Two years later, at age 39, Dr. Frame suffered a serious stroke. A year later, through intensive efforts by Sara Jo, he recovered almost completely and was able to resume his practice. During that time she wrote an essay titled "Treat him like a king," which the neurologist thought so highly of that he handed it out to his stroke patients. During this period she also served as a nursery school teacher at the Oak Ridge Nursery School. In early 1980, Dr. Frame contracted and succumbed to lung cancer. Four years later, she married her above mentioned friend and neighbor, Peter Mazur, whose wife, Drusilla, had died in 1982. He was at that time a scientist in the Biology Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and more recently, a research professor at the University of Tennessee. During that period she worked as an administrative assistant at the brokerage firm of Paine Webber in Oak Ridge. After marrying Dr. Mazur, she assumed responsibility for handling much of the finances of the Mazur family farm in New Jersey and was on its board of directors. She also accompanied Dr. Mazur on numerous scientific trips both domestic and abroad. Foreign trips included England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Japan and China. In the mid-1990s, she, her brother, David, her sister, Carolyn, two cousins, and their spouses had a memorable three-week trip to Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, and Jordan, escorted by her elder brother, Landrum, an expert in the Middle East. During her marriage to Peter Mazur, she became fast friends with her mother-in-law, Adolphia Mazur, during visits to New York and the family farm. There was also periodic travel to visit her daughter, Jennifer, and her husband, Richard, who at that time lived in Minneapolis, and Dr. Mazur's son, Timothy, and wife, Kathy, who live in Madison, Wis. At home, Sara Jo pursued golf and became an avid fisherman both at their cabin on Watts Bar Lake and in Sanibel, Fla. She also became involved in literacy education and taught several clients to read and write. She was a member of Oak Ridge Civic Music Association Guild, the University of Tennessee Faculty Wives Bookclub and the PEO Sisterhood. She is survived by her husband, Peter Mazur; her daughter and son-in law, Jennifer and Richard Dawson of Clinton; her stepson, Timothy Mazur and wife, Katharine, of Madison, Wis.; brothers, David Bolling and wife, Judith, of Clinton, and Landrum Bolling of Richmond, Ind. and Washington D.C.; sister, Carolyn Sergeant and husband, William, of Knoxville; grandchildren, Sydney Hogan, Richard Dawson and Taylor Dawson; step-grandchildren, Andrew Mazur and Lauren Mazur; first cousins, Lowell McClary and wife, Donna, of Litchfield Beach, S.C., and William Ormes and wife, Agnes, of Franklin. The family wishes to express special thanks to: Her friend and housekeeper of 15 years, Laquita Foley, of Oliver Springs, and her friend Alberta Ferrar of Knoxville; her home-care giver, Dee Martin of LaFollette, who was tremendously supportive the past two months; physicians, David Compton, Ronald Wray, David Long and Ronald Lands, who struggled with the diagnosis and attempted treatment of her rare disease, and to those who have been steadfast friends, both over the years and especially in the last two months. A memorial service will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday, April 11, at the United Church Chapel on the Hill with the Rev. Boyd Carter officiating. Burial will follow at Oak Ridge Memorial Park. The family requests that any memorials be in the form of contributions to the Kenneth L. Frame Scholarship Fund, School of Dentistry, University of Tennessee, Memphis.
