Despite the war, or rather because of it, Oneida was pretty much of a boom town, due to the demand for coal. The mines were going full bore, and the town's three railroads -- the Cincinnati-Southern, Tennessee and O&W -- were all going strong because of the mining. The trickle-down effect of that prosperity had a positive effect on virtually every business in and around Oneida. + Oneida's Mayors 1917 - 2007 # Lists the 19 men who have held the post of Mayor of the Town of Oneida in the 90 years since its incorporation + Jim Hamby of Brimstone: Without a Home, But Not Homeless # He was a tall, lanky man who quietly roamed the mountains of Brimstone, Emory and Coal Hill. Except for a stint working for Ritter Lumber Company, he never held a paying job. He was a drifter . . . a man without a home, but he wasn't homeless. This is the story of Jim Hamby. + In Memory of Mitchel Griffith # On January 17, 1947, Mitchel set out from Robbins riding a mule up the Brimstone Road so he could cross the Brimstone Mountains at Hamby Gap to get to Emory. Nightfall would come early on this overcast, winter day and as he passed houses up the Brimstone Road, he didn't tarry. Mitchel's family at Emory didn't know when to expect him home because when he left he said he might be gone two months. They didn't know he was on his way home. Several days passed before word spread up and down Emory and Brimstone that Mitchel was missing. o Added the Summer 2007, Vol 18, No. 4 + First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, 1882-2007 # Rev. Martha Anne Fairchild and her congregation dug through the archives and put together an informative and historic story in words and pictures for the readers of the FNB Chronicle in light of the 125th Anniversary of the First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville. + Continuing History of First Presbyterian Church # Presents a closer look at church history since the last of Esther Sharp Sanderson's history history books were completed in 1974 + Recent Pastors of the First Presbyterian Church # Presents a closer look at the three most recent pastors for the First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville + I remember . . . personal recollections of members of the First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville # Short quotes from present and past members of the First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville congregation as they describe their church memories * Scott Co, TN Get Togethers o Added preliminary information for the 2008 Scott Co, TN Researcher's Get-Together Meeting Scott Co, TN History o Corrected link to McCreary County KYGenWeb site o Corrected link to the Tennessee Blue Book site * Scott Co, TN Schools o Removed the link to the second Oneida Elementary School website (link no longer exists) ...tim west...
