I have heard many people in the area refer to the town of Stearns as person, esepcially when referring to history. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Keith <keithnancy@t-one.net> To: tnscott@rootsweb.com; tn-scott-history@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 8:23 pm Subject: [TNSCOTT] FNB Chronicle Hi all On the Scott Couny website - http://www.tngenweb.org/scott/ there is a page that features the Scott County, Tennessee Index to the "FNB (First National Bank) Chronicles". There are many wonderful stories taken from issues of these Chronicles printed on the website. The Index lists an issue that I would love to have a reproduction of. But I don't know how to get one. It is the issue of Fall, 2002, Vol 14, No 1. It contains the 100th anniversary write-up of the Pine Grove Baptist Church (which my g-grandfather, Rev Joel C CHITWOOD, reportedly co-founded, with his brother-in-law, Daniel BLEVINS.) I would love to read this historical account. There also is an article called "Pine Grove Baptist Church: A Remembrance". The same issue also has a feature on "Stearns - the Town and the Company". Since Mr Stearns came from my hometown (Ludington, Michigan) and founded Stearns, KY, then sent my grandfather (John SCHRADER, who married Charity CHITWOOD) down from Ludington to work in the lumber mills there, I would really like to see this write-up, too. Can anyone tell me how I can acess this copy of the "FNB Chronicle"? Thank you. Nancy in Michigan, where it can't make up its mind whether to rain or snow - and the result is a mess!

To us, up here in Michigan where Justus STEARNS lived, his presence is still very strong. Stearns Hotel, Stearns Park, Paulina Stearns Hospital (a gift to the community in memory of his wife), the former Stearns Salt Works, Stearns Motor Company, Stearns Sawmills, plus a little town built nearby during the lumbering era, Stearns Siding, among others. Mr Stearns was very active in the lumbering business here before (and after) he got involved in the coal and lumber industries in the Stearns, KY areas. He also was extremely active in creating jobs and modern conveniences up here. (My father used to pose for some of his son, Robert's, drawings and paintings. I saw several pieces of Robert's artwork in the museum in Stearns.) My grandfather worked for Mr Stearns up here, and then was sent to Stearns, KY, to scout out and work in the various sawmills down there. That's where he met and married my CHITWOOD grandmother. And the rest is history....
