Poplar Ridge School Poplar Ridge School “S till Standing After A ll These Years” 1858 - 2008 CELEBRATING 150 YEARS A smattering of history in SE Madison County 5th Edition Poplar Ridge School “Still Standing After All These Years!” 1858 - 2008 Celebrating 150 Years A smattering of history in SE Madison County By Priscilla J. Scott Secretary Poplar Ridge Homemakers 3 The Author Twenty Five years ago, my family moved to New Hope, Alabama, from Franklin, Illinois. My husband’s job had been eliminated in Springfield, Illi­ nois, and the opportunity came to be a part of the Space Shuttle Program in Huntsville, Alabama. John and I came down for his first two weeks training, and to find a place to make our new home, and thanks to Margaret Earl Mann, we found 854 Old Gurley Pike, New Hope, Alabama! It was certainly NEW HOPE! that we needed. While Margaret Earl was finalizing the loans, closings, etc., she men­ tioned that New Hope had a football game at Brewer on Friday night and why didn’t we come and meet some of the people! She already knew our two High Schoolers would be in the band. Our home school didn’t even have football, but we didn’t have anything better to do, so...we went! We called the movers on Monday, to finish packing, and went home the next weekend to gather up the three kids and say our goodbyes, and were back in New Hope to register for school on Wednesday of the third week. Six weeks after we moved in, I went to my first “Home Demonstration Club” meeting! I’ve held several positions through the years, in the club, which is now “Poplar Ridge Homemakers”. Currently, I am back in the position of Secretary, and so I am: Respectfully yours, Priscilla J.

They have answered many questions and provided a few pictures. -Nellie (Moon) Martin, who also keeps an eye on the school up the road, and has spent much time listening to my questions and answering with her lore, and who lived where, and was related to whom. -Charley McPeters has a wealth of information that he has absorbed from stories his Moon and McPeters relatives have handed down. He provided pictures also. -Wyona Moon for writing the Moon book, that helped me visualize this one. -Louise Brockway Thedford has been an inspiration to me. She has gathered an unbelievable amount of Genealogical information, published a number of local family genealogy books, and made them available to the Elizabeth Carpenter Public Library for reference. She even took the information that she didn’t use for her own families, and put it on a CD Rom titled “Pioneer Families” for others to be able to use for making their own family trees. With her permission, I printed out the indexes of names for the families on the CD Rom, and put that notebook in the reference department at the library. I have spent many hours searching in www.dimplesattic.net and the searches there have helped with this book. -Teresa Ballard, who knows all the tricks of researching on the internet, to how to find ways to get around the roadblocks. She introduced me to Madison County Records Center! - Kudos to Rhonda Larkin, and all the volunteers who make the information from the Madi­ son County Records Center available to the rest of us out here. -All those who work in the Heritage Room at Huntsville-Madison County Public Library. -Lou Ann Poole, and her mother, Syble Whitaker. If they don’t already know it, they know where to find it. If not, call Teresa! -Mr. William Sibley researched in old newspapers for Poplar Ridge headlines, and provided a couple of teacher pictures. -Buddy Hilliard, who has written several Cemetery books for the local area has assisted me also. I attended the Hayden Cemetery Walk off Poplar Ridge Road, Saturday before Moth­ er’s Day, and got to know some of the people in this book, dead or alive, a little better. - Bertie Faye (O’Neal) Preston furnished the Branum pictures. I didn’t even use half of what she had available. I hope she will get a Branum book made. To my knowledge non exists. -The men and women at the New Hope Senior Center have helped to keep me straight about who is related to whom, and where they live or lived. - Bobbi Keene and Gerry Brown and fellow volunteers at the Elizabeth Carpenter Public Li­ brary at New Hope, for putting up with me doing my own research while I was supposed to be on duty, as well as loaning out books that aren’t loanable! - Many others who answered their phone, having no idea what I was talking about, but fur­ nished what information they could. I’m sure I've left out more than I included, but this has definitely not been a one person job! 9 Foreword The idea for this book really began when I started to put together the materials from the Dedication Day for the Historical Plaque at the Poplar Ridge School, in October 2003. We wanted to donate the information to the newly formed Historical Association in New Hope. Someone noticed that the school started in 1858, so, this would be the 150th year. The next Poplar Ridge Homemakers meeting, we decided to have a Sesquicentennial Celebration on July 12, the closest Saturday to the signing of the deed 150 years ago. It’s my thought, with this book, everyone will have something to take home with them as well as spark an interest in creating their own “Family Tree”, if one does not already exist. The books and family files presently in the library, make me wish there were more, and so this will make one more. I have truly enjoyed working with everyone digging up historical rec­ ords and finding the information herein. There has been some frustration also, when there seemed to be no source to make a connection, but I’ve tried to make a connection between the benefactors of the land and the trustees named, to their descendants that still live in the area. When we first moved to New Hope, I was warned to be careful who I talked about, because everyone was related! This project has really shed a light on that truth, and yet, I find, it’s amazing how many Cobbs aren’t even related to each other!! I neglected to say in the Acknowledgements, that Lou L. Sam s website “THE COBB FAMILIES OF MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA” helped me not only with the Cobbs, but with the reality of the need to dou­ ble check everything and somehow keep track of your sources. I had not done that, and therefore, in this book I have just listed places I looked and found information, but a lot of this material is word of mouth, and I didn’t always record whose mouth it was! I’ve tried to prove as much as possible, and even removed some information I had because of a sniggle of doubt. I hope you will read to enjoy, but check and double check, if you want to use it to prove your genealogy. The sale of the George Taylor Moon property in the Poplar Ridge and Cherry Tree Road area was a strong impetus to make me aware that nothing is forever except God and our soul. Houses get torn down and roads get moved and whole families move in and out through the years. What was bought for $1.25 per acre, in the 1830’s can bring up to $12,000 per acre. If you the reader, see any discrepancies, please feel free to post a note or contact me in some way of the change needed. Thank you for letting me share in your lives. Priscilla J. Scott Secretary, Poplar Ridge Homemakers [email protected] 256-725-4397 or 256-655-4105 To start at the beginning, I had to ask, "Why is it called Poplar Ridge?" Teresa Ballard put me onto a book right there in our own library shelves, titled, "On the Occasion of the 150th anniver­ sary of the State of Alabama”, a Valley Leaves special edition. December 1969. It is a book well worth the read, if you're interested in the real history of Poplar Ridge, and in fact the whole area. Starting in the middle of that book is a section titled, "Later History of Madison County, And, Inci­ dentally, of North Alabama", written by "a Reliable Scribe". I'm including here, from Chapter IX - New Madison (written March 27, 1884), page 76, part of the closing descriptive paragraph, that an­ swers my question, and baits my curiosity for even more searching.

Drawing on literature concerning assistance, the political economy in which it is given, and psychological dimensions of regulation, I investigate the nature and function of objectives stated by aid providers. I argue that whereas discourse is manoeuvred to approve whatever NGOs undertake, the assistance delivered is so far from its objectives as to question what guidance they offer and their strategic merit. Additionally, the NGOs’ approach disregards failure by allowing operational weaknesses to blame or discredit others, rather than being acknowledged to reflect on interventions.

    Past Governors Tennessee Blue Book Past Governors and Constitutional Officers of Tennessee Past Governors William Blount 1790-1795, Democratic-Republican (territorial governor) Born in North Carolina in 1749, Blount served in the Continental Congress 1782-1783 and 1786-1787. In 1790 President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superintendent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokees. His new government faced formidable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/ Indian contact. In 1795 Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount represented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and after expul- sion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier 1796-1801; 1803-1809, Democratic-Republican Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a successful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor State of Tennessee of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling 12 years. While governor, he negotiated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened new roads into the area to encourage settlement.

HORTON PAPERS 1927-1933 GP 41 Processed by: Margaret Sawyer Archival Technical Services Completed: 1967 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION This collection represents the archival materials created during the administration of Tennessee Governor Henry H. Horton, 1927-1933. The collection consists of 33 boxes of materials such as correspondence, financial materials, applications, pardons, and other materials. There are no restrictions on the materials and copies of items may be made for individual and scholarly use. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Henry Hollis Horton, the son of a Baptist minister, was born in Alabama in 1866. after graduation from Winchester college in 1888, he taught school for six years, and was admitted to the bar in 1894. He served in the state House and later in the Senate, where he was elected speaker. It was from this office that he became governor when Austin Peay died. Successfully elected in his own right in 1929, his involvement with the lea- Caldwell banks in the depression years cost him his credibility and he came close to being found guilty of fraud. He abolished the state land tax, created an aeronautics division in state government, and developed a secondary road system. Horton did not seek re-election and died in 1934. *Tennessee Blue Book, 2001-2004, page 499. CONTAINER LIST Microfilm Reel #1 Box 1 1. Correspondence-Governor Henry H.

Housewives are helping with rationing; white-collar men are laboring on the assembly lines of war plants; and high school students are pursuing courses to fit them for their war duties. In every waking moment, the nation is kept aware of the \yar because in this World War II, the war effort and its effects are felt by every living person— the drastic rationing, the unselfish denial of comforts, and the drafting of husbands, sons, and fathers in the services. Since our every thought is of war, it is, therefore, only fitting that the theme of our ’43 yearbook should be a patriotic one. However, the remembrance of these troublous times will not be of as great interest to us in the future as will the pleasant memories of our school days with their exciting foot­ ball games, their fast moving basketball matches, their lengthy debates, their enervating tests, and their intriguing class dis­ cussions. Nor shall we forget the school building itself, our friends, and our teachers. In order that a concise retrospect of our high school life may be preserved for the future, the class of ’43 has compiled this record of its activities, the ’43 "West-O-Ranger.” 1 C Cl tI iI O IV This year we dedicate our book to those teachers and boys from our school who are giving their very lives that the democratic principles we so firmly uphold may continue to flourish in our land.

  • Baseball Game Fun!
    Baseball Game Fun! Did you know that the game of baseball can be traced back to the American Revolution (1775-1783)? According to History.com, a game that resembled baseball is said to have been developed from two English games, both which involved the use of a bat and a ball: 1. Rounders (a children’s game brought to New England by the colonists); and 2. another popular game—Cricket. During the American Revolution, there were different versions of these games played in schoolyards and college campuses all over the country. In 1845, more than 170 years ago, the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club was founded. One of its members, Alexander Joy Cartwright, created a set of rules that were the foundation for the baseball played today! He decided upon a diamond-shaped infield, foul lines, and the three-strike rule. In addition, Cartwright got rid of the dangerous practice of tagging runners by throwing baseballs at them (Ouch!). By 1846, the Knickerbockers played their first official game, and baseball became an official sport, unique to America. And then, in 1943, the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) was created, and in nine years, more than 600 women played in the league. Within the first five years, the number of spectators in attendance at games was over 900,000! One of the most noteworthy teams in the AAGBL was the Rockford Peaches of Illinois. They were one of two teams to play in every AAGBL season, and they won the league championship in 1945, 1948, 1949 and 1950. Throughout this time, Dorothy Kamenshek, Lois Florreich, Dorothy Harrell, Carolyn Morris, Alice Pollitt, Ruth Richard, Rose Gacioch, Eleanor Callow, and Joan Berger were all named to All-Star teams.
