I really appreciate your help, and will definately check these things out. It says "Falcons" on the ring, so I don't guess it is an eagle!! LOL Abingdon HS sounded good to me too!!

Would anyone on the list know of a school, probably a high school, whose mascot is the Falcons? I am looking for the owner of a lost class ring, see previous post to this list, and thought it was Sullivan Central. Sorry, everyone from Sullivan Central, I have been told that you are the Cougars. I would like to get this ring back to the owner, but an not sure who the Falcons are. This ring was found in the Kingsport area years ago. Elizabeth

Surnames: SEVIER, NETHERLAND Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/igB.2ACE/2373 Message Board Post: As the sun was reaching its meridian of brightness on the 22nd of May, 1890, the noble and gentle spirit of Mr. David Sevier, of Kingsport, Sullivan county, Tennessee, passed like a shadow from its earthly home to its zenith of glory in the home above. Mr. Sevier was born in Greeneville, Tenn., October 6th, 1820, and was the last but one of the twelve children of Valentine and Nancy Sevier, who now sleep in honored graves. He was a true representative of a distinguished family, and properly belonged to the third generation of men who succeeded the pioneers of his native State. The years of his childhood, youth, and many of his early manhood were passed away at his old home in Greeneville. Today the news of his death will sadden many hearts and homes where he was loved and respected throughout East Tennessee. He was married to Miss Annie Netherland, of Kingsport, Tenn., and she, with five married daughters and a grown son, now mourn his loss. He occupied several positions of trust and honor while a citizen of Greeneville, and when relinguishing each office it was said by all who knew him "well done." There was a simplicity, a gentleness, a truth and honor about him that was rare, while but a few can claim the exquisite purity of his character, actuating his every motion and strongly developing each of the Christian graces that marked his daily life. Anything that would swerve a hair's line from truth and justice he rejected without an instant's hesitation, while it was once of his chief marks of character if a question arose the first answer he would give showed that he wished to first know whether it would accord with the law of God and righteousness, while all of his dealings with others was measured by the square of truth. Nothing wins like character and it was because his friends could see through the crystal of his soul and could never trace a taint of selfishness or insincerity in any of his motives; that is why they loved. him. He was a leader in his circle of triends, full of humor and wisdom, modest, and genial to an extraordinary degree and possessed of firm executive power, accomplished many of his well devised plans and combining with all a most affectionate tenderness for friends and family. Not only wil influential circles of friends be saddened by his death, but at many a fireside of want and poverty will his generous gifts be missed, while more friends than can be numbered will many times recount his beautiful Christian deeds of love and kindness. His life so far as human nature could imitate, was truly typical of Christian charity throughtout; ever ready to help the fallen, comfort the distressed, or forgive without malice, those who had wronged him. is home life, too sacred ! for me to enter, only upon the threshold, was truly beautiful, a loving and devoted husband and father idolized by each member of his family, until tender hearts and hands could do no more for him, except to lay the tired body in a quiet resting place in sight of his cherished home. Although he suffered much he never murmured. His last words before his weary spirit took its upward flight wree "It is all right." It is hard for us to bid one so loved goodby, knowing that we shall meet no more upon earth. Sweetly, softly, we can almost hear him whisper from the "gates ajar" that "It is all right," and we know he wears the crown of the redeemed. "One less at home This is not home, where cramped in earthly mold; Our sight of Christ is dim, our love is cold; But there, where face to face we shall behold Is home and Heaven." A FRIEND.

Surnames: CARSON, SEVIER, NETHERLAND Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/igB.2ACE/2372 Message Board Post: I was just going though copies of some old clippings from my g-grandmother's scrapbook, and thought I'd post this obituary for Nannie Carson, daughter of David Deaderick Sevier (of Greene Co) and Annis Netherland Sevier of Kingsport. Nannie married Rev. Dr. Alexander N. Carson, born 1848, probably in Sullivan County. I've found conflicting information on personal genealogy sites about his parents. Nannie is buried in the Otterbein Cemetery, Westerville, OH, with their three children who died as infants. Dr. Carson and their son, Charles Carson, are not buried there. *** This Obituary is from an original newspaper clipping in a scrapbook, which did not include the name of the paper or the date. CARSON - On Wednesday evening, September 23, at 10:30 the soul of Nannie Sevier Carson, the beloved wife of Dr. Alexander N. Carson of San Francisco, winged its flight from the dark gray mists of earth to the glad light of the beautiful beyond. To those who best kenew Mrs. Carson there will ever remain a memory of an intelligent, cultered woman, possessing all the gracious cordiality of the true Southerner she was. Mrs. Carson was born in Greeneville, Tennessee August 6, 1849, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Sevier. Mr. Sevier was the great-nephew of the famous John Sevier, the first governor of Tennessee. Coming as she did from one of the best families of the South, Mrs. Carson possessed asll the delicacy and true refinement of that people. She ws educated at Norristown, Pennsylvania, and on June 15, 1875, was married to Dr. Carson. In the happy years that followed four children were born, Harry, Frank, Nannie and Charles. Of these the first three sleep the! ir last sleep in the quet cemetery at Westerville, Ohio, where Mrs. Carson was laid beside them. Many tender associations cluster around Westerville, as it was Dr. Carson's first pastorate. Charles, the only living child, is in business in San Francisco. Mrs. Carson's health has been failing ---- years, and has necessitated changes in Dr. Carson's pastorates in the hope that a change of climate would benefit. In June the shadow of the Death Angel's wing fell over her. A sudden stroke of apoplex prostrated her. From this she never recovered but slowly sank till her feat touched the dark valley of the shadow. When the last of earth came to her she was perfectly conscious. Peacefully and sweetly as a child going to sleep, without a struggle or a moan, with her hands stretched out to her husband and son, she drifted from the shores of time to the glad hereafter. A few short breaths, anans she was at rest. There will be a place left desolate forever, a devoted wife and mother gone from earth. The days will grow lonlier and the haunting chords of memory alone will sound in our ears in stead of the beloved voice. "We can not say, we will not say, That she is dead, she is just away: With a quiet smile and a wave of the hand. She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair, It needs must be since she lingers there."
