DEATH of Gen. B.J. HILL A deep gloom was cast over city last Tuesday evening by the announcement that Gen. Hill was dead. He died at 12:30 a.m., the 5th inst., in the 54th year of his age. His death was not unexpected, as he had been rapidly failing in health for the past three months, and his physicians had announced several days ago that he could last but a few days at best; notwithstanding this fact, so loath were our people to give him up, and his life was so dear to them that the announcement of his death sent a thrill of sorrow through every heart. Our community has lost one of its noblest spirits - a light has gone out in McMinnville, and there is none to fill its place. He was full of public spirit, ever hopeful of the future, when others despaired Hill was buoyant and cheerful, in prosperity or adversity he was ever the same - ready to give a helping hand to the needy, or a word of cheer to the desponding. To ever good and noble work his heart and his purse was ever open. He served his Senatorial district with honor and distinction in the State Senate; he won distinction in the late war for his sagacity, valor and courage, and was one of the last to surrender the Lost Cause. As a soldier or civilian he challenged the admiration and won the esteem of all who knew him. He was faithful in whatever he undertook, and pursued a good purpose with that tenacity that would allow of no failure. He was buried amid the family cedars in our city cemetery at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, almost our entire citizenship turning out to do honor to his illustrious memory. The funeral services were held in the C.P. Church, conducted by Rev. DeWitt, pastor assisted by Rev. Cowan of the Presbyterian church, Rev. J.M. Walters of the Baptist church, and Rev. Mr. Carter of the M.E. Church. The different orders of the town did honor to his memory by turning out to his funeral, and all business was suspended. It is a solace to those who knew and loved him to know that the General died in the fullness and brightness of a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and a happy immortality beyond the grave, of which he gave abundant evidence. His last words were, "All is well." At a meeting of the McMinnville Bar, held on the 7th of January, 1880, to express the feeling of the Bar toward the Gen. B.J. Hill, the following proceedings were had: W.V. Whitson was called to the chair, and J.W. Snodgrass appointed Secretary. T.C. Lind, W.T. Murray and E. Webb were appointed a Committee on Resolutions. The Committee presented the following, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It hath pleased the great arbiter of human destiny to take from our midst, in the prime of life and zenith of activity, the immortal part of BENJAMIN J. HILL, who died on the 5th inst., and Whereas, It hath seemed to us, associates with him in the courts of our country, just and becoming to record our testimony to the virtues of our deceased fellow, therefore be it Resolved, That his life and character were distinguished above the common level by sound and generous principles, joined with sentiments humane and just; "That as a citizen he attached all classes by his interest in their personal welfare and his zeal for the public good as a man he gained the partiality of other men, their companions, sires, and offspring, by the exhibition of those kindly traits which make all the world akin; That as a lawyer he displayed a superior capacity and judgment in the field selected for the use of his talents, was faithful to his trusts, and in professional contact dignified, courteous and upright; That if his worth was sometimes obstructed by frailties which in some form are common to us all, the ordinary current of a well ordered life o'er flowed his errors with abundant compensation of well doing; That the community has lost a leading member and a good man; That the surviving partner of his earthly course is entitled to our unfeigned sympathy, which is tendered herewith. Resolved, That the Secretary furnish a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased, and to the McMinnville New Era and Southern Standard for publication. W.V. Whitson, Chairman J.W. Snodgrass, Secretary. McMinnville New Era (McMinnville, TN) 8 Jan 1880 http://www.tngennet.org/warren/

I am posting this info on several mailing lists to help get info on the children of James and Charity Jones. So you may get this more then once. First is Enoch Jones, who married Elizabeth 'Betsy' Ferrell. I was told that her father was John Ferrell but no name for her mother. Does anyone know her name or who she could be? Enoch Jones was born September 17, 1790, most likely in NC. (Where?) He died February 03, 1878, in Cannon Co, TN. I would love to get a deed for his property if there is one and map it on my deed mapper. It will tell me where that deed property is today. He is buried in the Banks Cumberland Pres. Church Cemetery, Smithville, DeKalb Co, TN. Headstone is placed on findagrave.com at _http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Jones&GScid=1985392&GRid=12347023&pt=Enoch%20Jones_ (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Jones&GScid=1985392&GRid=123470 23&pt=Enoch%20Jones) & Please feel free to take a copy and leave a note and flower for him. Or consider sponsoring the online memorial for him. I have found him in the census starting in 1820. I do have some holes to fill in and hoping someone could help me. I cannot find the family in the 1810 census, most likely they were in NC at this time or on their way to Tennessee. By 1820, the family are living in Warren Co, TN, They settled there for many years. ========================== 1820 Census of Warren Co, TN Enoch Jones 400100/10111 4 Males under 10 yrs of age William (5), John (3), Robert M.

They are still living in the Warren County area. The 4th Unnamed Male listed in the 1820 census, is listed again here as being 20 to 30 yrs of age. I believe at the time of the 1820 census, he was abt 9 yrs of age. The Unnamed Female is also listed on this census as being 15 to 20 yrs of age. This would have made her 5 to 9 yrs of age on the 1820 census. Does anyone know of these children? There is also an older Female listed here are being 40 to 50 yrs of age. Any ideas who she is? Maybe she is a sister. ================================= 1840 Census of Cannon Co, TN Enoch Jones 1112101/0110001 1 Male under 5 yrs of age (James Jones (1)) 1 Male 5 to 10 yrs of age (Enoch Jones, Jr. (7)) 1 Male 10 to 15 yrs of age (Unnamed Male Jones 10-14) 2 Males 15 to 20 yrs of age (Robert M Jones (19) and (Charles F.

Jim, I do not know of a connection between the Cantrell & Spears families at this time, but there may be one . Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Spears & Asenith (Dunnigan) are the parents of Cantrell Spears, not Hyrum. Hyrum Spears is my g-g-grandfather; he did not name a son Cantrell.

I would go to the court house for copies of marriage certs. and other information. I have had a lot of help through the mail from them and they are very accomodating. I have relatives buried in the Wood cemetery, and wonder if you would be willing to take some photos of their graves for me. I would be more than happy to pay for any expense and postage, and would really appreciate the favor. The relatives are J.M.Wood, b. Mar.21, 1851 - d. Mar. 21, 1928. Lizzie Bomar, b. Jun. 2, 1851 - d. Dec. 30, 1912, w/o J. M. Wood. Mrs. E. A. Bomar, b. Apr. 22, 1824, - d.

Another tip, the Funeral Home discussed in another email would be Highs Funeral home, and it is located on the west side of McMinnville. It would be the oldest funeral home still active today. Also the Liberty Cemetery that is south of McMinnville is very old and a lot of my relatives are buried there. Mt. View Cemetery is located in the town limits if I remember correctly. That is where the Highs (from the funeral home) are buried. Hope this helps.

I would go to the Court House, which is on Main St. and they will be able to help you with land records, marriage, wills etc. I have relatives buried in Wood cemetery, and wonder if you would have enough time to take some photos for me? If so I really would appreciate it, and be more than willing to pay for expenses and postage. Their names are J. M. Wood, b. Mar 21, 1851 - d. Mar. 21 1928. Lizzie Bomar, b. June 2, 1851 - d. Dec. 30 1912, w/o J.M. Wood. Mrs. E. A. Bomar, b. Apr. 22, 1824 - d. Sept. 30 1892 aged 68 5m ??d (broken marker, difficult to read) Thanking you in advance.

One poor house known as the county farm/house is on the Sparta Hwy. & US 70 northeast of McMinnville next to River Park Hospital. It has been restored completely. I'm not sure where the dead were buried. James A. Dillon, our county historian, could tell you about it. His contact information is on the Warren County Site under GENERAL INFORMATION - Warren County Research Helps: http://www.tngennet.org/warren/ http://www.tngennet.org/warren/warhelp.htm Ladye Jane Hunter ----- Original Message ----- From: <SHOKE2253@aol.com> To: <TNWARREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 1:11 AM Subject: [TNWARREN] Poor House > I have a family member that the Warren County Census states he was a Pauper > and living at the County Farm.

I have a family member that the Warren County Census states he was a Pauper and living at the County Farm. Can someone tell me about the County Farm and where were they buried when they died. Which of the cemeteries were for the poor? Where was the Poorhouse located? Helen
