As a member of the Newspaper Mailer's Union Local # 83, and as an employee of the News Sentinel, and former employee of the Journal (which both operated in the same facilities under a joint agreement), I just wanted to say that Unions had nothing to do with the closing of the Knoxville Journal. Big business killed the Journal. The closing of the Journal caused temporary layoffs for many Union (and non-Union) employees. Please don't confuse political beliefs with reality. Sorry for being off-topic. Thanks, Kevin Mullins Surnames in Union Co; KELLER, TURNER, TUCKER, DEES, ZEAK/ZICK, SHARP P.S. Most of my fellow co-workers preferred the Journal to the News-Sentinel.

Greetings from the MORTON clan. I met a new cousin over the weekend who lives in Knoxville and she posted our MORTON line to her home page. It's located at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/a/b/Diana-L-Mabe. If you get a chance, check it out as there are lots of other surnames also. Nina MORTON T.

A new message, "McBee," was posted by Betty Burr on Mon, 12 Jul 1999 Surname: McBee, Taylor, Flowers, Kerney, Smicegood, Mims, Mullins --- NAME: Betty Burr EMAIL: Keeta@swko.net Surname: McBee, Taylor, Flowers, Kerney, Smicegood, Mims, Mullins DATE: Jul 12 1999 LINK: URL: QRYTEXT: Searching for information on the McBee family found in the 1880 East tn census: Benton age36, Mary age 28, children: Selina 13,Charles 11, Edward 8, Howard 6, Harris(Horace) 2. There were more children born after 1880. Benton and Mary may have lived in one of their son's household in 1900's, possibly Union Co. I'm sure Horace died between 1908-1910 , probably in a mine explosion. I am told there was an explosion at Tuppertown. Does anyone know where this is? Thanks Betty

A couple of things today. If you get a chance today stop by and have a look at the article in the Knoxville News Sentinel about Union County. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/21127.shtml It will be of interest to those of you looking at the Cox family. But it's also a great article on an event in the county. Also, stop by the Union County page and have a look at the calendar. If you live in the area and have an event to announce, be sure to stop by and put it on our calendar. Chip Union County TnGenWeb

Hello Kay is right! I went to that site and laughed so hard I forgot all my troubles. For me, that was amazing! Thanks, Chip! You know, I also subscribe to the Loudon County web page. Don't get me wrong. I love Loudon County. I was born and raised there but that site is as dead as my carpet. Chip, you are the life in the Union County site. Thanks, thanks, thanks, Chip! P. Mitchell (volfan99@gateway.net) I agree with P Mitchell, I joined the Union county mailing list because I thought it would help me in my research...I have not found any of my family in Union county, but I am still with the mailing list because of Chip, this list is so much fun, it's my favorite list...I was kicked off the Davis mailing list, and it belonged to one of my cousins, because I sent them a "Merry Christmas", that's all, not a poem or anything, just said "Merry Christmas".....

Don't get me wrong. I love Loudon County. I was born and raised there but that site is as dead as my carpet. Chip, you are the life in the Union County site. You are active in it and comment and aid in the questions submitted. That makes it an interesting place for people to visit. The more visitors, the more people are exposed to the data so that they can keep the research (and the fun) going. Keep up the good, no GREAT work. Creating a web site and leaving it unattended is like giving birth to a child and leaving to raise itself. It just won't work. Thanks, thanks, thanks, Chip! P.

Hello to All I know this is not genealogy related but you know we all need a bit of humor, to give ourselves a break from all of the "serious" research. Most of us know of Chip. He has been so helpful to many and he can be so funny. Just finished reading another web site which gave me a few laughs for the day. I thought others might find it enjoyable as well.

I just wanted to pass on this URL for cemeteries. It's really very interesting. I did a search for the usual -- MORTON -- and came up with this one, which I'm passing along since it's has a variation of BEELER also. Both these surnames are in Union County. The site is at http://www.interment.net/us/ "Death notice of Edna Eades Beheler Morton Posted by Debby Beheler <beheler@netusa1.net> on Thu, 04 Mar 1999 Surname: BEHELER, EADES, MORTON Death notice--The Ventura County (CA) Star 16 Aug 1932 MRS. MORTON PASSES AWAY Funeral services for Mrs. Edna Morton will be held at 9:30 a. m. Thursday from the J. E. Barker Funeral home. Rev. W. B. Teaford of the Four Square Gospel church will officiate, and burial will follow in the Ventura City cemetery. Mrs. Morton died at a local hospital at the age of 37. She is survived by her husband, Claude, and four sons, one of whom is in the east and the other three in Ventura. Mrs. Morton lived at 1280 Poli street.

Could I once again impose on you fine people for a favor? I have a friend here in Union County who has started his own web page. He is the Commissioner of Elections and has put his office online. In Union County an official that even knows what a computer is, is a very rare creature. Could I impose on some of you to drop by his page at: http://home.earthlink.net/~roeboy/index.html and sign his guestbook? He needs a little encouragement. I figure if I support Larry in his effort to get his office online maybe some of the other offices will follow. Thanks, Chip
