BATES By Mary Jo Denton:

An Algood man was killed instantly last night when his pick-up truck slammed into a large boulder off the Mirandy Road five miles northeast of Cookeville near the Verble Mountain.

Highway patrol officials said Ercal Bates, 48, of 209 1st Ave., Algood, apparently lost control of his 1956 Dodge truck on a curve, ran off the road and hit a large limestone boulder in the roadbank.

Bates was alone in the truck.

State Trooper Joe Agee, who investigated, could not be reached today, but Algood officials said the accident may have been caused by “one of the wheels that looked like it fell off a little ways before the accident,” as Mayor Jim Brown put it, referring to talk of the wreck by Algood police officers who went to the scene.

Bates was a self-employed auto mechanic.

Funeral arrangements for Bates were incomplete late this morning.

The body is at Hooper and Huddleston Funeral Home

Funeral Services for Tom Bilbrey, Lake Victim, Held Tuesday:

Funeral services for Thomas Moore “Tom” Bilbrey, 37-year-old Cookeville businessman and civic leader, who drowned in Dale Hollow Lake late Saturday afternoon was held Tuesday afternoon at the Cookeville Methodist Church.

The Rev. H. T. Fowler and the Rev. G. C. Mellwain conducted the srvices. Burial was in Algood Cemetery.

Mr. Bilbrey’s death came while he was on a week-end fishing trip with his brother, State Sen. Robert L. Bilbrey and Keith Bohannon, both of Cookeville; State Sen. Jim Cummings and Postmaster Charlie Stone, both of Woodbury, and William Stacey and Charlie Potter, Nashville businessmen.

Senator Bilbrey said he was on the opposite side of the lake from where the tragedy occurred but happened to be looking at the boat in which his brother and Stacey were fishing from shortly before sundown.

They were having trouble with the motor, Bilbrey said, and it looked as if Mr. Stacey tried to start it and the rope apparently broke, causing him to lunge into the same side with his brother. The boat capaized and Mr. Bilbrey drowned before other boats on the lake could get to the two men. Stacey was rescued by members of the party. Mr. Bilbrey’s body was recovered by a diver from the Nashville office of the U. S. Enginners early Sunday night.

Mr. Bilbrey was though of as a “fair” swimmer, it was said, but he was known to have been subject to cramps while in water.

Some mem bers of the party think Mr. Bilbrey became entagled in his fishing line as he grabbed for the capsized motorboat. The lake was about 30 feet deep where he went down.

In addition to Senator Bilbrey, Mr. Bilbrey is survived by his widow, the former Mis Inez Isabell; a daughter, Andra Lee Bilbrey, and his mother, Mrs. W. L. Bilbrey, all of Cookeville.

CARR, W. H.: Bro. W. H. Carr died on the 11th inst. And was buried in the Algood cemetery on Sunday the 13th by the orders of F. & A. M. and I. O. O. F. Bro. Carr was initiated into the I. O. O. F. July 14th, 1893; he belonging to the F. & A. M. before that date, the Masons took lead, however, both orders abridged their ceremonies. The funeral was attended by a very large number of brothers and friends, perhaps the largest crowd of people that ever assembled at Algood before. The weather was very pleasant and suitable for the occasion. [Date 3/17/1910, Vol. VIII, No. 11, Page 1] Putnam County Herald, TN Rev. W. Henry Carr (1849-1910) was for more than forty years one of the most widely known and highly esteemed Cumberland Presbyterian ministers of this section of the State. He served pastorates regularly in his presbytery from his ordination in his young manhood until his death. He served as pastor of both the Trinity and Mount Herman Cumberland Presbyterians churches for more than twenty years. For many years he was also a public school teacher and he served for several years as County Superintendent of Public Instruction of Putnam County. In 1898, he was elected County Court Clerk of Putnam County, in which office he served for four years. He did not run for re-election.

Probably no other minister in the history of this county ever performed more marriage ceremonies or conducted more funeral services than did Rev. W. H. Carr. He enjoyed, in the highest degree, the confidence and esteem of the people of Putnam County.

Except while serving as County Clerk, he was a life long resident of Algood community. His first wife was a daughter of Curtis Mills, the first Circuit Court Clerk of Putnam County after the re-establishment of the county.

His gave is in the Algood cemetery. As an evidence of the esteem in which he was held, it is said that fully fifteen hundred people representing all sections of the county, attended his funeral services, about forty years ago.

Daughter dies at mother's visitation by Mary Jo Denton

ALGOOD -- A woman who was at the funeral home yesterday to receive friends after the death of her mother on Monday collapsed and died there in the chapel, family members said.

Now, the grief stricken family has rescheduled the funeral that was to have been held today for Hessie Pearl Hicks, 98, of Algood, and on Friday, a joint service will be held for her and her daughter, Brenda Jo Ledbetter, 78.

Hessie Pearl Hicks, who lived with her daughter, died Monday morning at their Algood home. She was well known in Algood due to the more than 40 years she worked as a clerk in the Algood Drug Store. Her daughter, Brenda, an Army wife who had traveled the world with her late husband, George Ledbetter Sr., had spent the last two years taking care of her beloved mother.

"We just celebrated my mother's (Brenda Ledbetter's) birthday last Friday and my grandmother was there too," said Brenda's son, Glen Ledbetter. "We're an extremely close family."

On Monday, Brenda and the rest of the family grieved the death of Hessie Pearl Hicks and planned her funeral. The services would be Wednesday and the family would receive friends at the Algood chapel of Hooper Huddleston and Horner on Tuesday evening.

Brenda and other family members arrived at the funeral home chapel Tuesday evening and began receiving friends for the viewing.

"Brenda had been there about 15 minutes and had already gone up to view her mother, then sat back down and after a few minutes went up to the coffin again," said funeral director David Horner.

"Then, she just suddenly collapsed, and everybody thought she had fainted. We called 911, and the Algood Police arrived very quickly and an ambulance took her to the hospital," Horner said.

There she was pronounced dead, and doctors reportedly said it was from a massive heart attack.

"Mama had taken care of her mother for the past two years," said Brenda's son. "They were just so close."

Anita Wert (Wall) Moore, d/o Wilkes Hammock “Will” Wall Sr. (1893-1953) & Neta Ozenia Williams (1897-1989). *See Dr. David Franklin Moore buried in Algood Cemetery *See Wilkes Hammock Will” Wall Sr. Obt.

Anita Wert Wall Moore, 96, died May 5, 2020, surrounded by family at her home in Cordova, TN from complications following a stroke. She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Dr. David Franklin Moore; her brothers Wilkes Hammock Wall, Jr. and Dr. James Thomas Wall; and her parents Neta Ozenia Williams Wall and Wilkes Hammock Wall, Sr.

Anita grew up in Cookeville, Tennessee, thriving in spite of the Great Depression and World War II. She earned a business administration degree from Tennessee Tech University. After her husband’s medical training was completed, they lived in Memphis for the remainder of their lives. Anita worked for a period of time at Goldsmith’s and at Memphis State University’s Advisory Center. She was an active member of Mullins United Methodist Church for nearly 68 years, longer than any other current member. She sang in the choir, taught Sunday School, and helped with the youth. Her faith and her church family were of great value and a blessing to her. She was a 4 gallon blood donor—a tiny lady with a huge heart!

Anita loved and cherished her family and friends and was known not only as Anita but as Sister, Mother, Mom, Aunt Nita, Grandmother and Gigi. She made sure that her children kept up with each other and their families. She was the hub - the central station - for all things related to the family. She enthusiastically supported all of her children’s, grandchildren’s, and great-grandchildren’s activities. People were important to her and she loved knowing them. She was always very appreciative of every kindness and saved every card, note, letter and email sent to her.

A lady with an adventurous spirit, Anita learned to fly and made her first solo flight at age 22. Mentally alert and still living at home until her stroke, she stayed active throughout her life, climbing down and back up the Grand Canyon in her 60’s, hiking to the summit of Mount Le Conte in her 70’s, skydiving in her 80’s, and all along the way loving to swim and play in the lake - even riding an inner tube and kayaking when she was 96. She loved family gatherings, playing bridge, and attending theatre and musical performances. Traveling was a joy: Scotland, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and cruises with her children. A loving mother, she leaves her four children, Franklin (Ann) Moore of Alpharetta, GA; Doug (Debora) Moore of Bartlett, TN; Molly (Milton) Robinson of Hot Springs, AR; and Missy (Joe) Skinner of Memphis, TN. She also leaves a brother, John Wall of Algood, TN, and a sister, Lula Bartholomew of Oak Ridge, TN; 10 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many more family and friends who loved her dearly.

Family graveside services and interment will be held Friday May 8, 2020 at Algood Cemetery in Algood, Tennessee, with Rev. Rob Wheeler officiating.

The family has requested that in lieu of flowers any memorials be sent to Mullins United Methodist Church Music Program Fund, 4 No. Mendenhall Road, Memphis 38117, or BrightFocus Foundation (macular degeneration research) at www.brightfocus.org.

*Note: Thomas Franklin Moore Obt. (1849-1935), he is buried along with his wife Elizabeth (Fraser) Moore in the Johnson Cemetery, Mill Creek, Putnam Co., TN: The death of T F Moore of Algood at 5:15 Wednesday morning was a shock to the community. Although he had been sick for several weeks at the home of his son, Dr. J T Moore, his going away was sudden.

Mr. Moore was 84 years old. He was born and reared on the Calfkiller River in Putnam County. After living there for many years, he moved to Sparta and later to Algood, about 13 years ago, making his home with his son, Dr J T Moore. He was a farmer and merchant, and his mercantile business near Johnson Church was for many years a successful one. After moving to Sparta, he was City Judge for a number of years; secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Lodge for twenty years. When he came to Algood, he was made City Judge and has held that office for twelve years. He was a Royal Arch Mason and a member of the Methodist church.

Mr. Moore was active in civic affairs and all public interests, and a progressive man for his age. As an example of his progress and intelligent spirit, he requested that after his death a post-mortem examination should be held in order that the doctors might know the cause of his illness and death. This was done by doctor friends of Dr Moore and it was found that he had a tumor in his stomach. This request is unusual, but if more people would agree to post-mortem examinations, it would be a blessing to the medical profession....Mr. Moore was the father of nine children; two daughters dead, one living daughter, Mrs. F B Campbell of Nashville; six sons, Dr J T Moore; Fred L., Algood; J M, Oklahoma; H C and R H of Eldorado, Ok.; and H H Moore of Harriman.

The funeral services will be conducted by Dr M O Nelms at the home of Dr & Mrs J T Moore at Algood Friday morning at 10 o'clock, and burial at Johnson Church near Sparta will be conducted by the Masonic Lodges of Sparta and Cookeville.

Catherine (Moore) Walker, d/o Dr. John Thomas Moore (1876-1966) & Annice Sue Crews (1888-1986).

RICHMOND, VA — Catherine Moore Walker embraced Heaven in the arms of Jesus on Monday, Sept. 4, 2017. She was 99 years old. She is now reunited with her husband of 52 years, Lloyd Daniel Walker Sr. of Sparta; her parents, Dr. John Thomas and Annice Crews Moore; and her brother, Dr. Jack Moore Jr.; half-brother and sister, Pennock Moore and Margaret Thompson.

She is survived by her children, Dr. Lloyd Daniel Walker Jr. (Mary), Thomas Moore Walker and Catherine Walker Patterson (Mike); grandchildren, Michael Patterson Jr. (Sarah), Megan Reynolds (John), Matthew Patterson (Priscila); and four great- grandchildren; a fifth grandchild is due in March. Still living are her sister-in-law, Jean Moore; and nephews, John Moore, James Moore and Dr. Lee Moore.

Born July 9, 1918, she was raised in the farm country of Putnam County, and affectionately known as “Cacky” by her Tennessee family. She lived most of her married life in the Lakeside area of Henrico County, Vrginia, known as “Katie,” and as a widow in her Westminster Canterbury home until her death.

Katie was a devoted homemaker and active in civic affairs through the League of Women Voters. She was chairman of the Henrico County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, which was instrumental in securing land for several of the beautiful parks we enjoy today. A devout Presbyterian, she was involved for many years in the various programs of Lakeside Presbyterian Church, including the choirs and teaching Sunday school. She took special interest in the church’s outreach to the less fortunate members of the community and was recently given prominent mention in the Richmond Times-Dispatch in connection with her dedication to prisoner visitation. Katie was also a classically trained musician, with degrees in music from Tennessee Technological University and Northwestern University. She was an accomplished vocalist and pianist, who gave concerts for local residents well into her 90s. She was an avid fan and supporter of the Richmond Symphony.

We will miss her most for the loving way she cared for others and the incredible role model she was to us as a wife, a mother, and a disciple of Christ. We will also miss the beautiful music she played on her Steinway piano. She was always a champion for the least and the last and gave generously to these causes.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Lakeside Presbyterian Pre-School, 7343 Hermitage Rd., Richmond, Va. 23228 or to the Westminster Canterbury Fellowship Fund, 1600 Westbrook Ave., Richmond, Va. 23227.

Algood man killed in crash Mary Jo Denton Herald-Citizen Staff Monday, May 18, 2009 ALGOOD -- A traffic crash on Highway 111 in Algood took the life of an Algood man on Sunday afternoon, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Paul Polk, 47, of the Deerhaven subdivision, died in the accident, which happened at 5:15 p.m. May 17 at the Highway 111 and Mirandy Road intersection.

Polk was driving a 2000 GMC pickup truck and was headed west on Mirandy Road. He began to cross Highway 111 and drove into the path of a truck which was southbound on Highway 111, says a report by State Trooper Eric McCormick.

The other vehicle was a 2005 Ford F150 pickup. The driver, Kyle Gaerke, 21, of Sharps Chapel, Tennessee, was not injured, the trooper's report says.

Gaerke was unable to avoid a collision with Polk's truck, which was struck in the right front and spun around, coming to final rest in the intersection, Trooper McCormick's report says.

Polk was not using a seatbelt, but Gaerke was buckled in, the report says.

Polk was the husband of Cindy Polk, the father of Tara Polk Asher, and the grandfather of Calleigh Asher.

He was the owner of the Countertops Inc. business on Boyd Farris Road in Cookeville. Funeral arrangements were incomplete as of early this morning, according to Hooper Huddleston & Horner Funeral Home.

ALGOOD — Willie Arnold Price of Algood, Tennessee, passed away Tuesday, May 12, 2020, at the age of 76. After several months of declining health, Arnold died peacefully with his beloved wife, Frances, and their children, David Price and Shannon Price-Herron, by his side.

Arnold was born in the Timothy community of Overton County, Tennessee, on Nov. 14, 1943, to father, William Bransford Price and mother, Larue Holman Price. As the youngest of three children, Arnold didn’t have the opportunity for much formal education. He helped out on his family’s small farm and worked any odd jobs he could find, starting at an early age. His work ethic was evident.

Through his endeavors, he purchased a property that would later become home to his wife and family. He married Frances Beatrice Curtis on Dec. 22, 1965, after running into her that summer at Echo Valley Swimming Pool. They dated briefly and were married at the Jackson County Courthouse.

Arnold enjoyed his family, field trial hounds, and Alaskan Malamutes! He was always ready to go for a ride through the country with friends and family, especially his kids. He was a great gardener, knew how to grow the best tomatoes, and was a pretty good shot with a rifle!

He had a good, but hard, life and through it all his wife, Frances, faithfully prayed him through as did his children.

Arnold was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Thomas Austin Price; and sister, Janice Marie Loftis.

He is survived by his wife, Frances; son, David Arnold Price and wife, Cindy (Palk); daughter, Shannon Leigh Price-Herron; and grandson, Morgan Bransford Herron; in addition to a host of family and dear friends. Memorial services for Mr. Price will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday May 14, at Trinity Algood with Mike Campbell officiating. The family will receive friends Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until service time.

Honorary pallbearers will be Cotton Bilbery, Jimmy "Red" Robinson, Morgan Herron, Greg Clark, Roy Loftis and Mark Loftis.

Arnold's family would like to convey their thanks to the staff at Signature Health Care of Putnam County for the care and attention given to Arnold and his family.

John Dudley Stites, long time businessman in the Upper Cumberland region and founder of J&S Construction Company, Inc. died peacefully at his home on Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 6:11 am on the family farm, J&S Farms. He was with his wife of 68 years, Evelyne Ruth Flatt Stites and his three children and their spouses. He is survived by his wife, three children John D Stites II and wife Rosemary Tillman Stites, James Richard (Jack) Stites and his wife Mary Alice Norris Stites and Sarah Jane Stites Davidson and her husband Donald Houston (Donnie) Davidson.

Mr. Stites was a member of the Collegeside Church of Christ and is best remembered for his simple teaching methods: whether in church or on the farm.

John Stites was born on August 23, 1926 in Algood, Tennessee to the late Clarence Elsworth Stites and Fannie Hampton Stites. He had one sister, the late Sarah Stites French of Nashville, TN. Upon graduation from Algood High School, he served in the US Navy at Guam during World War II. Upon his honorable discharge from the service, he attended Tennessee Tech, but left school to join the family business, Builders Supply Company, in 1947, which was started by his father, Patrick Elsworth Stites and a partner, H. T. Pointer; also of Algood. While at Builders Supply Company, John Stites designed and built the first ready mix concrete plant and introduced the first ready mix concrete trucks to the area. He introduced the first cash and carry lumber yard, initially selling lumber and building materials from railroad cars, because he had not yet constructed a building to house his inventory. In 1957 Mr. Stites founded J&S Construction Company as a small residential construction firm and the enterprise has grown to be one of the largest construction firms in the Upper Cumberland region.

Mr. Stites built and managed, with his partners, the first nursing home in the Upper Cumberland area.

Always the inventor, he designed a workshop at his farm, J&S Farms, where he used lumber from the family farm to construct hope chests for his great-granddaughters and steamer trunks for his great-grandsons. He also made cedar chests for his grandchildren. Ma and PaPa Stites were perhaps best known for their July 4th pig roast that began in 1962 and occurs each year on July 4th with family and friends.

John Stites gave back to the community in many ways, including being one of the founding members of the

Cookeville Country Club and the Cookeville Jaycees. He was scoutmaster of Boy Scout troop #156 for over a decade and was responsible for many young men reaching the rank of Eagle, including his two sons and one grandson, Joshua Norris Stites.

LIFE OF OLDEST ALGOOD CITIZEN REFLECTS HISTORY: A. K. Williams Will Reach His 89th Birthday Tuesday. Remembers Old Poetry, By Anna Dell McReynolds.

Amos K. Williamson, better known as and called “Uncle Amos” by his many friends, is the oldest citizen of Algood. The story of his life is an interesting one and throws light on the history of the little town. He is now living in Algood, and in spite of the fact that he reaches his 89th birthday on April 28, 1931, he possesses much vitality, and an excellent memory.

(Pictured: Amos K. Williamson).

He was born near Granville, Jackson county, Tennessee, April 28, 1842. He attended a few terms of school, three months being a full term. The only subjects taught in school then were reading, writing, arithmetic, and English grammar.

He was 19 years old when the Civil War broke out. He joined the Confederate army and served in the 17th Tennessee Regiment during the entire war. He took part in several major battles, as the Battle of Murfreesboro, and the Battle of Chickamauga, besides several other battles and many skirmishes. For a little more than the last year of the war he was held as a prisoner by the Federal forces in Fort Delawary, on an island in the Delaward Bay, sixteen miles from Philadelphia. “Uncle Amos” moved to Algood in 1891, at which time there was no town there. The only residence was the old home place of Joel Algood, for whom the town was named. Mr. Algood was the father of Henry Algood, the well known druggist of Cookeville. There was no railroad or postoffice there at that time, and the nearest postoffice was at Jeremiah.

“Uncle Amos” was a carpenter. He helped build the shed for the spoke and handle factory soon after he came here.

The first church in Algood was organized at the home of “Uncle Amos,” in 1893. This was the Cumberland Presbyterian church.

He served eight years as a member of the County Court of Putnam county, and twelve years as a Notary Public. He has served as an elder in the Presbyterain church for many years.

“Uncle Amos” has a remarkable memory. It is interesting to note that today he can recite poems that he learned when he was only nine years old. This poem, about the presidents, was written in ‘50 or ’51, when Millard Filmore was president of the United States. The poem follows:

THE PRESIDENTS: First Washington, the chieftain who conquered our foe; Then Adams, Jefferson; after Madison, Monroe; Next Adams, the younger, late counciling the nation; The Jackson, Van Buren filed the president’s station; Next Harris, Tyler, Polk, and Z. Taylor all passed And made room for M. Fillmore, who presides as the last.

When “Uncle Amos” was about 12 years old, he learned a poem entitled, “the Earth,” which today he can recite perfectly. The poem follows:

THE EARTH: The earh, the firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky. Was made by God’s creative power Six thousand years ago or more.

Man too, was formed to till the ground; Birds, beasts and fish to move around; The fish to swim, the birds to fly, And all to praise the Lord most high.

This world is round, wise men declare, And hung on nothing in the air The moon around the earth doth run, The earth and moon around the sun.

The earth moves on its center, too, As wheels on toys and pulleys do. Vast mountains rear their lofty heads, Rivers roll down their sandy beds.

Wide lakes expand among the trees, Great islands rise above the sea. Peninsulas and capes project, Straits, channels, isthmuses connect. While all in harmony combine to praise Almithty Power divine. “Uncle Amos’s” memory is remarkable, at the age of 89. And his health is good. Every day he goes to town, and never misses going to church on Sunday. He should live many years yet, and enjoy life in the little city of Algood, which he has lived to see grow from one house to a population of eight hundred.
