The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained.

    THE BROTHERS MCMILLIN AND THEIR STAR PUPIL By Mark Dudney Herald•Citizen, Cookeville, TN: Sunday, 8 April 2012, pg. C•4 ‘Cumberland Tales’ Cordell Hull is the most accomplished statesman the Upper Cumberland region has yet produced. The longest•tenured Secretary of State in American history, he was a Democratic Congressman, United States Senator, chief architect of the United nations and 1945 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. But long before he walked the world stage as a diplomat and international peace advocate, Hull was an eager young student in Clay County, Tennessee. Like many ambitious people, he was adept at finding mentors for his improvement. In post•Civil War Celina, he needed look no further than the distinguished McMillin family. The McMillins hailed from Monroe County, Kentucky, and settled in Clay County before the Civil War. John Halsell McMillin, a successful planter, and his wife, Elizabeth Black McMillin, raised a family of eight children. Their two oldest sons fought for the Confederacy during the war. Their three younger sons would have a profound impact on the education of young Cordell Hull: Joseph Simon McMillin, Benton McMillin and John Halsell McMillin, Jr. William Hull, Cordell Hull’s father, had recently moved his family to the Willow Grove community in Clay County. Determined that Cordell should receive the best education available, he sent his son to the Montvale Academy in Celina. Joseph McMillin was the principal educator at Montvale. A graduate of the Philomath Academy and Burritt College, McMillin was a scholar and inspirational teacher to his young charges. Montvale offered practical courses like surveying alongside a traditional classical curriculum of mathematics, Latin, Greek rhetoric, history, science and literature.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1930’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1930 (January 2, 1930) The E. P. Maxwell grocery store on West Main Street was destroyed by fire this week. The alarm was sounded too late for firemen to put out the blaze. The building, owned by Mrs. H. M. Mackie, was insured for $800. *Some 200 rural farm women, including some from this area, will meet at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville this week for UT’s annual “farm women’s short course” offered by the university’s home economics department. (January 9, 1930) Sheriff Warren and his deputies broke a ring of thieves this week. They arrested four young men at their homes after an intense investigation. The men were charged with a string of thefts, including this week’s robbery of the Bank of Algood. The sheriff tracked the four from the bank to where their getaway car was parked using bloodhounds and used the clues he found on the scene there to continue trailing them. The bloodhounds are owned and trained by the Pippin brothers from Double Springs. (January 16, 1930) County road supervisor H. D. Whitson gave his annual road report for 1929 this week. Operating on a $13,827 budget and using the labor of jail inmates and horse•drawn road graders, he reported that he graded a new road in Martins Creek, graveled the Buffalo Valley Road and Fisk Road, and did a considerable amount of work improving the Buck Mountain and Phifer Mountain Roads.
