Pistol Shot Causes Death of J. E. Bradford, 20, of Double Springs, who died instantly from a pistol wound Friday night, were conducted by the Rev. Hugh May at the Bradford home Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock. Interment was in the Double Springs Cemetery.

According to Sheriff M. T. Warren, Bradford was shot fatally at a service station in Double Springs Friday night by Joe Baldwin, a World War veteran. The sheriff said that Bradford came to the station where Baldwin was and that he had been drinking. He said that the two, who had held an old grudge against each other, became involved in a heated argument.

Warren said that the proprietor requested Baldwin to leave and that he did. About 20 minutes later, the sheriff said, Baldwin returned, stood outside the station, and fired one shot from an automatic pistol through the window at Bradford. The shot went through Branford’s heart, the sheriff reported.

At a preliminary hearing before Squire Paschall Matheny, Baldwin was released on a $2,500 bond.

COOKEVILLE — Funeral services for Fred Bryant, 71, of Sparta, will be held Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m. in the chapel of Presley Funeral Home with Bro. Clayton Lee officiating. Interment will follow in Double Springs Cemetery.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home today, Monday, Nov. 13, from 4-7 p.m., and Tuesday, Nov. 14, from noon until service time at 1 p.m.

Mr. Bryant passed away Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center.

He was born Aug. 30, 1946, in Cookeville, to the late James Henry Bryant and Ann Bryant Dunn.

Beginning in September of 1965, he started his military career in the army at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Fred continued to serve for the next three years finishing up with an honorable discharge in September 1968, at Fort Benning, Alabama. He served in the aviation unit as a crew chief for one tour of duty in Vietnam.

For the next 45 years, Fred made Dodson Branch (Jackson County) his home. He was president of the Dodson Branch Community Center for many years. His unselfish, charitable spirit brought him many friends. He enjoyed “front porch sittin'” and watching his numerous hummingbird feeders flock with hummingbirds. What time he wasn’t doting on his grandkids he was spending it in the woods or on the water. He loved to hunt and the smile on his face when he “got one” was priceless. Those were happy times! He enjoyed hunting and fishing, gardening, gun collecting, western movies and football. His main joy was always spending time with his grandkids and always trying to do for them. He loved family gatherings and cooking for the holidays. He would always ask us what we wanted to eat but when we gave him our selections he would say…” this is not the Holiday Inn!” He loved to tease and make jokes. Sometimes we would laugh 'till we cried.

Fred was always happy to lend a helping hand and was a friendly neighbor. He made some very special friends. Even during his time of sickness, he was always thinking about others. His first great-grandbaby made his debut in November. He asked every day if the baby was here yet. He wanted to see him and hold him. Fred took his final breath within hours of his first great-grandchild’s birth. He loved all his grandkids and great grandbaby dearly. Even though he finished out his final days in a hospital bed we will always remember him at home, laid back in his easy chair, curled up with his beloved dog Bear watching western’s or football.

His survivors include his wife of 50 years, Patricia Mae Bryant of Sparta; two sons and daughters-in-law, Kenneth James and Chasity Bryant of Cookeville, Johnny Dewayne and Martha Cheryl Bryant of Sparta; grandchildren and their spouses, Elizabeth Nicole (James) Gomez of Joint Base Lewis McChord in Tacoma, Washington, Johnathan Samuel Bryant of Sparta, Jacklynn Elizabeth Bryant of Sparta, Shelbi Lyne Bryant of Cookeville, Kenneth David Bryant of Sparta, and Christina Evelyn Dyer of Sparta; great- grandchild, Malachi Raider Gomez of Tacoma; brother, Deloy Bryant of Cookeville; sister, Wanda Bryant of Nashville; half-sister, Mary Dunn of Cookeville; special friends, Kenneth Brown of Knoxville (whom served with him in the military), Dallas Lowe of Cookeville and Chuck Frasier of Sparta.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Douglas Bryant and Harlan Bryant. Pallbearers will be family and friends.

CANTRELL, MILTON: Unfortunate Accident -- Monday afternoon when the train returning from Lebanon had reached Spring Creek, the engine and brakemen went in on the sidetrack to pull out a car. Milton Cantrell and Ack Meachum, two brakemen, went down to make the coupling. Mr. Cantrell thinking the draw head of the car was too low to couple, lifted it up and directed Meachum to put a rock under it. While holding the draw head, the engine was backing struck him, mashing him between the two draw heads, when the engine was signaled ahead, Cantrell dropped helpless to the ground, but was quickly assisted by his brother laborers, who placed him in the baggage car and the train made a quick run to Watertown where Dr. Blair was summoned and who accompanied Cantrell to his home at this place. Arriving here, Dr. G. W. Whitney was called in and examination made and it was found that the left hip and side were crushed and the wounded man was pronounced to be in a precarious condition. All was done that was possible to relieve his suffering, but he could not endure the injuries received. He lingered through the night amid excruciating pain, and died about 7:30 Tuesday morning. His remains were immediately taken charge of by the members of Lily Lodge, No. 91, K. P., of which he was a beloved member, some of whom were with him from the moment that he was hurt, until the last clod was thrown on his grave. . . . A special train was tendered by the N. & K. officials to convey the remains, relatives, and Knights and their families to Double Springs, where his body was buried at 7 o'clock in the afternoon with the impressive K. of P. ceremony. Milton Cantrell was a native of Putnam county, among his relatives are numbered some of the best people of this county. . . . He was married last fall to Miss Judd of Double Springs, who with his aged mother, are grief-stricken at their sudden loss. Our deepest sympathy is with them.

Grand Jury To Get Draper Murder Case:

Preliminary hearing for Mrs. Eula Waldrip, Cookeville department store clerk, charged with the murder of Ben Draper, 29-year-old skating rink operator, at her home Sunday afternoon, was scheduled for one o’clock this afternoon.

The preliminary hearing was expected to mean nothing more than waiving the case to the May grand jury. Mrs. Waldrip made a $10,000 bond shortly after she notified the sheriff’s office of the trouble.

Mrs. Waldrip is alleged to have stabbed Draper with a saber when, she told officers, he tried to force his way into her home on King Street. She said Draper tried to get in the front door and on finding it locked, rushed to the back door and broke the glass and was making an effort to unlock the door when the tragedy occurred. The 36-inch saber was a Japanese souvenir send to Mrs. Waldrip by her husband.

Draper was stabbed one time near, or in the heart. Services were held for him Tuesday. Burial was in Double Springs Cemetery.

Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: Thursday, 3 April 1947.

Mrs. Waldrip Freed

Mrs. Eula Waldrip, 31-year-old department store clerk, was acquitted in Criminal Court this week for the saber-murder of Ben Draper, 29, at her home March 30 as he was entering the back door of her King Street home.

Mrs. Waldrip was freed on a plea of self defense, and the only thing the state attempted to show was that she and Draper had been intimate.

Proof in the case showed that the defendant had told Draper several times by telephone on that Sunday morning that she did not want to see him again for him not to come to her home; that he did come to her home in the afternoon and after not gaining admittance at the front door he went to the back and broke the glass from a door and was unlocking it when she stabbed him near or through the heart. She said she was attempting to stab Draper in the arm.

Mrs. Waldrip testified that Draper had his knife open at the time and was threatening to kill her when he got in.

Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: 18 July 1955.

**Joe grew up to marry Dee Hensley. By 1920 27-year-old Joe and 25-year-old Dee were farming in Clay County, Tennessee, next door to the farm of his parents and two of his sisters. The couple continued to farm in Clay County the rest of Joe's life.

On March 5, 1946, Joe, age 53, left home to plow a field in a remote area called Poor House Ridge. He was followed to that field by two men Walter Dailey and "Little" Frank Brown. The two men erroneously thought that Joe had turned them into the police for operating an illegal moonshine still. The two men shot Joe from ambush as he was plowing and then stood over his body and shot him repeatedly. His murder was investigated by Deputy Shelby Nolan, Constable Raymond Barlow, and Sheriff Bryan Davis with the assistance of Jim Marable and his bloodhounds. The brutal murder was made famous when it was featured in an magazine entitled Headquarters Detective in an article entitled "The Farmer Went Out Into His Field To Do His Spring Plowing." Dailey and Brown pled guilty and were sentenced to 50 years in prison. The magazine article ends with the following statement, "Thus was avenged the cowardly murder of Joe Gentry, whose one fault was that he was a staunch believer in law and order."

Joe was buried in Fitzgerald Cemetery, Celina, Clay County, Tennessee. His wife Dee never remarried. She died at the age of 60 on July 17, 1953, and was buried in Double Springs Cemetery, Double Springs, Putnam County, TN.

Shoots Self In Hip In Attempt To Draw Pistol:

Aged Putnam And Jackson Countains Argue Over Taxes: Both Shot: May File Warrants:

Charlie Jernigan, 60, farmer, and a former Double Springs filling station operator, is suffering wounds received near his home at Double Springs last Friday afternoon when he shot himself in an effort to pull a .41 derringer pistol from his hip pocket in an alleged attempt to fire on Jim Godsey, 70.

The pistol fired while he was grouping for it, Double Springs residents said, and the bullet lodged in the center of his hip. He was brought to the City Hospital here, where he was treated. The bullet was not extricated.

Baxter Jernigan, son of the self injured man, and Jim Godsey; 70, of Jackson county, were involved in the shooting, the younger Jernigan firing a .12 gauge shotgun, supposedly at Godsey, the shot of which struck a car owned by Rufe Flatt, 40, also of Jackson county, and glanced into Godsey’s back.

Mixed Report: According to information given out at Double Springs, Godsey and Jernigan had an argument over some taxes.

Sheriff Hubert Crawford, who is making an investigation of the case, declared that Godsey got mad at Jernigan after Jernigan had sued him. He went to Jernigan’s home, according to the sheriff, intent on killing Jernigan.

Baxter Jernigan, who operates a garage at Double Springs, fired next, the load from his shot glancing from the Flatt roadster and striking Godsey in the back; Godsey was taken to the Millis Hospital near Baxter for treatment.

Neither of the men was seriously wounded.

Godsey had been drinking, Sheriff Crawford said. He lives in Jackson county, ten miles from Double Springs.

Sheriff Crawford said that warrants would probably be taken for the arrest of Godsey this week. He did not state on what grounds they would be based.

News was received here a day or two ago of the death of Virgil Jernigan, which occurred at his home in Tompkinsville, KY, after a short illness.

Mr. Jernigan was the son of Chas. Jernigan, who lives between Cookeville and Double Springs, and had made his home with his father up to about two years ago, when he married a Tompkinsville young lady. He was a splendid young man, and had many friends throughout this section who will be grieved to learn of his death. He was a traveling salesman for the Phillipe-Butorff Mfg. Co., Nashville, TN and was very popular among the traveling men. Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: 10 March 1921

Jernigan, Elva: TAKES HER OWN LIFE - One of the saddest tragedies ever occurring in Putnam county happened last Friday, when Miss Elva Jernigan took her own life. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. P. Jernigan, who live near Double Springs. Her father was away on a trip and her mother spent Friday with a neighbor. Coming home about supper time she missed Elva, but thought she was at some neighbors. The girl did not come home during the night, and early Saturday morning her dead body was found hanging in the loft of the barn at her home. The alarm was given and soon a crowed assembled. The body was taken down and an inquest held by a justice of the peace summoning a jury, whose verdict was that the girl came to her death by her own hands. The act was probably done sometime Friday afternoon or early night. There were no marks on the body or any evidence of a struggle. Elva Jernigan was about 19 years old, a lovable, sweet-natured girl, admired by all who knew her. She was planning to attend the new state school in Cookeville this fall, and apparently was in good health and the best of good spirit. No cause is known for her fatal action. The cutting off of her young life has cast a gloom over the entire section, and the people sincerely sympathize with the grief-stricken family.

He was taken there from City Hospital, Cookeville, Sunday afternoon. A native of Bowling Green, KY, Mr. Judd moved to Putnam County early in life, and had been employed by the Tennessee Central Railway since he was 17 years of age.

He was also the installation officer for new officials of the Blue Lodge. Mr. Judd also held high places of officialdom in the Cookeville Chapter and Commandery.

PUTNAM COUNTY NEWSPAPER, COOKEVILLE, TN

JUDD, MRS. W. W.: Sensational Shooting -- Last Friday night Mrs. Jesse Crockett Barnes boarded the shopping train at Buffalo Valley, walked through the coach to the rear platform, and without speaking a word opened fire with a pistol on Mrs. W. W. Judd where she was standing. Every shot took effect and Mrs. Judd was instantly killed. Mrs. Barnes then quietly stepped off the train and started home. Sheriff A. L. Weeks was on the train in the smoking car, and overtook Mrs. Barnes just after she left the train and told her he would have to arrest her. She gave him her pistol and quietly submitted to arrest, but did not want to come to Cookeville on the train on which the tragedy occurred. The sheriff accompanied Mrs. Barnes home and during the night she broke down from the nervous strain and was not able to come to Cookeville until Monday. On that afternoon she was arraigned before Esq. J. R. Douglass, a warrant charging murder in the first degree having been sworn out by W. W. Judd. . . . Mrs. Barnes is the wife of Jesse Crockett Barnes, and lives on a farm near Buffalo Valley. Mrs. Judd was the wife of W. W. Judd, station agent for the T. C. railroad at Double Springs. Mrs. Judd was brought home on the train on which the tragedy was enacted. She was buried on Saturday evening in the presence of about 1,000 people. The cause of the shooting was alleged intimacy between Mr. Barnes and Mrs. Judd. The tragic action is another case of the "unwritten law," usual in that a wronged woman sought vengeance. [Date 6/6/1912, Vol. X, No. 23, Page 7]

From this obt. the parties involved in this murder were the Barnes and Judd’s. Mattie Della Judd was 37 years old in 1912. Myrtle Barnes was 34 years old in 1910. William W. Judd husband of Mattie Della Judd was a station agent for the Tennessee Central Railroad at Double Springs in Putnam County Tennessee.

Apparently Myrtle Barnes thought that her husband, Jessie Crockett Barnes was having a friendly affair with Mattie Della Judd the wife of William W. Judd. Myrtle Barnes then shot and killed Mattie Della. Judd.

Myrtle (Hurst) Barnes (1877-1952) & her husband Jesse Crockett Barnes (1862-1940) are buried in the Cookeville City Cemetery, Cookeville, Putnam Co., TN.

(September 3, 1974) Myrtle Judd was interviewed this week about the heyday of Double Springs, it was the railhead for the Tennessee Central Railroad serving Gainesboro, Celina, Whitleyville and points north.

Mrs. Judd lives alone now in the rambling, two-story white frame house that was once Judd's Hotel, once one of two in Double Springs. The other, the Pippin Hotel, was torn down 50 years ago and there's only a vacant lot there today.

Mrs. Judd charged 50 cents for a room and 25 cents for meals in the hotel's glory years when several passenger trains a day stopped at Double Springs.

The community once boasted the two hotels, four stores, a school and a railway station. It was a beehive of activity, she said.

The station closed in 1960, three years after the TC discontinued passenger service. Shortly afterwards, the depot was torn down.

Mrs. Judd began working for the railroad in 1918 as a tie and timber agent. She later also added running the depot to her duties. She retired in 1962, after working at the Baxter depot her last two years.

COOKEVILLE — James Arthur Lawson, 72, passed away peacefully Thursday, May 21, 2020, at Heritage Pointe Cottage.

Private family graveside services will be held at a later date.

He was born Sept. 25, 1947, in Jackson, Tennessee, to the late Edward Ward and Ollie Louise Lawson.

James earned his bachelor's in accounting in 1969 from Tennessee Technological University, the first among his family to attain a higher education degree, before serving with distinction as a soldier in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

For more than 35 years, James served professionally as a labor statistics analyst for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. He had many other duties and passions to which he excelled, including serving for a long period as elder and treasurer at Double Springs Church of Christ, the church he and his wife attended for 45 years.

James was an avid horseman and equestrian, training and competing in horse shows throughout Tennessee, as well as participating in opening ceremonies during the 1996 Olympic Games events held in Tennessee. He earned scores of competition blue ribbons and recognition as a top-notch pleasure-class horse trainer. He served in leadership roles in the Upper Cumberland Horseback Riders Club for many years, and so enjoyed the camaraderie of those he rode and fellowshipped with. He was a man who answered the call of the friend in need at any time, and who many called best friend. He is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Treva Lawson of Cookeville, Tennessee; son, Jamie (Michelle) Lawson of Chattanooga, Tennessee; daughter, Thesa (Jeff) Davidson of Huntsville, Alabama; five grandchildren, Tyler, Reagan and Garrett Davidson of Huntsville, Alabama, and James and Amber Lawson of Chattanooga, Tennessee; sister, Judy (John) Bourgoin of Nashville, Tennessee; special niece, Courtney (Shawn) Grimes of Nashville, Tennessee; great-nephew and great-niece, Kenner and Charleigh Grimes of Nashville, Tennessee; and brothers-in-law, Lynn and Randy Anderson.

The family would like to give special thanks to the staff of Heritage Pointe Cottage for the compassionate care they provided James.

(Source: Tennessee State Marriage record, pg: 20: Sam McBroom married 21 October 1899, Putnam Co., TN to Clare Roberts). Killing At Double Springs:

A deplorable tragedy was enacted in the Seventh Civil District of this county last Friday afternoon when Sam McBroom, a highly respected farmer living near McBroom’s Chapel was shot and mortally wounded by Bev Pippin.

McBroom was hurried to a Nashville hospital in the hope that an operation might save his life, but he died Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, about three hours after his arrival at St. Thomas Hospital. When he reached the hospital he was so near dead that no operation was attempted. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the Double Springs cemetery by Elder C. L. Talley of this city, and Elder Goolsby of Double Springs, his funeral being attended by several hundred people.

The deceased was thirty-seven years old and was a son of Sam McBroom, a well-known pioneer citizen of this county. He owned his father’s old farm on which he resided with his wife and only child, Arthur McBroom, and his aged mother. He was a brother of Mrs. Houston Dyer of the Seventh district and had many other relatives in this county.

There was a dispute between McBroom and Plunkett Whitson over about one acre of ground, each of them claiming the land. First reported that Bev Pippin claims to have purchased the timber on the disputed land from Plunkett Whitson.

On Friday afternoon McBroom returned to his home from a singing school, which was being conducted at McBroom’s Chapel, and found Bev Pippin outing timber on the disputed land. Some of Pippin’s relatives were with him at the time. McBroom requested them to desist from cutting the timber, and warm words ensued between him and Pippin, which were soon followed by the difficulty in which McBroom lost his life. McBroom received three pistol shots in his body. He also fired on Pippin but Pippin did not receive any injury.

Pippin is a married man and is about forty years old. He came to Cookeville Saturday and offered to surrender to the Sheriff, but as no warrant had been sworn out against him he was not taken into custody, Pippin claims self defense.

The scene of the killing was only about 25 yards from the residence of McBrooms.

Sam McBroom was a good citizen and was never before involved in a serious difficulty.

He was known as one of the best singer’s in the county and was a man of unusual intelligence and industry. He was a candidate for the democratic nomination for county Register two years ago and made a creditable race.

This unfortunate tragedy came as a great shock to the community and is deeply deplored by everyone.

A native of Cookeville, he attended the University of Tennessee.

Funeral services for James H. Price, 81, of Lebanon and formerly of Cookeville will be held Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at 11:30 AM in the chapel of Presley Funeral Home with Pastor Frank Rodgers officiating. Interment will follow in Double Springs Cemetery.

The family will receive friends Tuesday 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Wednesday 10:00 AM until service time at the funeral home.

Mr. Price passed from this life on Saturday September 9, 2017 at home in Lebanon, TN.

Jim as he was known by his family and friends was born September 24, 1935 in Grayson County, VA to the late Con & Ida Blevins Price. Jim was the 4th of 5 children and the only boy in the family.

Jim left home at the young age of 15 to move to Pennsylvania and start his working career in a saw mill.

Jim married Marion Louise Snell on January 15, 1955 in Marion, VA in the middle of a blizzard as he so often loved to tell. Jim and Marion were blessed with 4 boys and 1 girl over the next 13 years. A few years later he was employed by Bethlehem Steel Corporation where he worked for 23 years as an iron ore miner in the Grace Mine in Morgantown, PA. Jim became a skilled small engine mechanic while working a second job at Reber's Service Station in Honey Brook, PA to help raise his children and keep their mother from having to work outside the home. Jim opened Price's Lawn Mower Shop in his garage at the home he and Marion purchased in Elverson, PA in 1968. Jim worked these 2 jobs until 1977 when Bethlehem Steel closed the mine in Morgantown. Not sure he could support his family under the newly elected Jimmy Carter administration with just the lawn mower and chainsaw business that he had grown into 2 additional buildings on his property in Elverson, Jim accepted a job offer from New Jersey Zinc Mining Company in Gordonsville, TN.

At the age of 42 Jim sold everything in Pennsylvania and moved his wife and four of his children to Cookeville, TN. After a few years at New Jersey Zinc, Jim was offered a position with the federal agency MSHA as a mine safety inspector. After experiencing firsthand the bureaucracy of the federal government for which he had no patience, Jim once again turned to his love of lawn mower and chainsaws and opened Price's Garage on Buffalo Valley Road in Cookeville in 1980. Jim spent his next 23 years building his business through hard work and honest dealings until he retired in 2003 and sold the business.

Jim enjoyed his retirement with Marion his wife of over 62 years and even took a Caribbean cruise their children gave them for their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Jim and Marion moved to Lebanon, TN in August of 2015.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Conley & Ida Price; three sisters, Orpha Shumate, Mildred Kilby, and Charlotte Vogt; and one son, James Albert Price.

He is survived by his wife, Marion Price; sister, Joyce Greer of Elkin, NC; three sons, Lee Price (Cindy Apple) of Cookeville, TN, Ray (Donna) Price of Cookeville, TN, and David (Michelle) Price of Cookeville, TN; a daughter, Beth Price of Lebanon, TN; eight grandchildren, Jeremy (Rachel) Price of Apopka, FL, Andrew Price of Cookeville, TN, Jason Price of Cookeville, TN, Ryan Price of Cookeville, TN, Rachel Beechboard (Brent) of Lebanon, TN, Ethan Price of Cookeville, TN, Kayla Renee Dailey of Cookeville, TN, and Will Price of Cookeville, TN, in addition to several bonus grandchildren and a host of great-grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Andrew Price, Bobby Beechboard, Brent Beechboard, Ethan Price, Jeremy Price, Richard Holt and Rob Hall, Ryan Price and Will Price.

Joseph A. Ray was one of the most prominent and active leaders in the early history of Putnam County. He was the first County Court Clerk of the county after the county was first established. He was an officer in the Mexican War. After the Civil War, he was elected Circuit Court Clerk. He was a large land owner and a large slave owner. He lived, from his young manhood until his death, five miles West of Cookeville on the Nashville road. His residence was the Double Springs, before there was a village or railroad by that name. Throughout his active life he was the proprietor of a general store, located a short distance East of his residence. For many years the Double Springs post-office was at his store. He was an active live stock trader and before the Civil War was a prosperous businessman. The Civil War freed his slaves and he lost heavily on account of debts owing him for live stock by Southern planters and traders who were rendered insolvent by the Civil War. His wife was a daughter of Daniel W. Hawes, a prominent pioneer citizen of this county, who later, for many years, was a prominent merchant of Gainesboro.

THE STAGE ROBBERY.—One day in the year 1881, as the old Nashville stage coach came lumbering down the Walton Road in the vicinity of Pond Spring (Pekin), three masked men stepped from a clump of bushes on the road side, and ordered Uncle John Reyburn, the veteran driver, to hold up his hands. The outlaws were “Bug” Hunt and two Edwards boys. After securing several hundred dollars from the passengers they disappeared in the woods.
