Tuesday, Mar 18, 2008 : Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN Community mourns loss of local golf legend

Buddy Pearson Herald•Citizen Staff

COOKEVILLE •• The golfing world and the Upper Cumberland community is mourning the loss of local golfing legend Robert Wayne "Bobby" Nichols. A long•time coach at Tennessee Tech as well as the owner of Ironwood golf course and a successful golf professional, the 66•year•old Nichols passed away at 11:19 on Sunday morning in the intensive care unit at Cookeville Regional Medical Center.

Hospitalized for the past couple of weeks, Nichols battled several complications brought on by his fight against cancer on his esophagus and liver. He had contracted a rare infection •• necrotic fasciitis, a flesh• eating•type of bacteria •• in his shoulder in addition to diverticulitis, a common digestive disease of the large intestine. Nichols also suffered from pneumonia the last few days.

"He was always smiling and having fun and trying to make everyone else feel good, so to see him in pain was heartbreaking," said friend and former TTU golfer Gary Maxwell. "He was in such pain for the last six months it was unreal. He's not hurting any more."

The pain of his loss is now being felt by a statewide golfing community and the thousands of lives he touched.

"I think the list in this community of those who don't know him is shorter than the list of those who do know him," said friend and former TTU golfer Paul Korth. "I don't know a whole lot of people you can say that about."

Nichols' golfing resume spans decades of accomplishments as an amateur or professional, either playing or coaching.

"He's an icon in golf," said former TTU golfer and Cookeville Golf Club professional Matt Manzaro. "People talk about what Arnold Palmer did for golf nationwide on the PGA Tour. You can put Bobby Nichols in the same category for the Tennessee area. It doesn't matter where you go in the state of Tennessee, everybody knows Bobby Nichols."

A native of Algood, Nichols first made a name for himself on the golf course as a caddie at the Cookeville Country Club. After attending Algood High School, where he excelled in basketball, Nichols was a four• year letterwinner on the Golden Eagle golf team at Tennessee Tech, serving as the captain of the squad in 1963, the same year he graduated with a degree in health and physical education.

Upon turning professional after graduating from TTU, Nichols served as club pro at Cookeville Country Club from 1964 to 1970 and as Tech golf coach from 1967 to 1970. In 1970, he began a three•year stint on the PGA tour as well. During that time, he also returned home to design Ironwood Golf Course on the picturesque farmland northwest of Cookeville.

"He was a hard worker," said Bobby Greenwood, a friend of Nichols for more than 50 years. "He came from the old school where hard work was the answer."

Nichols reaped the rewards of his work ethic, being named Tennessee PGA Player of the Year in 1970 and 1976 and garnering three Tennessee PGA Senior Player of the Year titles (1994, '96, '97). He competed in the U.S. Senior Open in Birmingham, Mich., in 1991 and in Bethesda, Md., in 1995. Nichols is also the only golfer •• pro or amateur •• to make every Tennessee Challenge Cup Team since 1968. For his dedication to golf, the TGA recently honored Nichols by unveiling the Bobby Nichols Most Valuable Player Award to the best performer each year in the Tennessee Challenge Cup Matches.

"I can't imagine any other person I'd rather be around," said Dick Horton, former executive director of the TPGA. "He was a champion's champion."

While gaining recognition on the state level, Nichols was also making a name for himself at the school he truly loved. In the fall of 1979, Nichols returned to TTU to mentor the men's golf program and later established the women's golf program in 1986. A two•time Ohio Valley Conference Men's Coach of the Year (1990, 2005), he guided the Golden Eagle men's team to an OVC crown in 1990.

On the women's side, Nichols was tabbed the OVC Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2001, the same years the Golden Eaglettes collected OVC championships.

"When you lose a legend like Bobby Nichols, it's really tough on the student•athletes and the staff and alumni," said TTU athletics director Mark Wilson. "He's been such a big part of our athletic program over so many decades."

During his coaching tenure, Nichols mentored more than 700 student•athletes, including 14 men's all•OVC performers and 11 women's all•OVC players. In 1990, he was inducted into the Tennessee Tech Hall of Fame.

"He was a great coach but he was more of a mentor than a coach," said Scott Stallings, a two•time OVC Player of the Year. "He was very encouraging. I had more of a friendship with him than a coaching relationship. I could call him any moment and he would do anything he could for me at any time."

Locally, he cultivated golf programs for not only Tennessee Tech but for all players in the Upper Cumberland region. As the golf pro at the Cookeville Country Club and later at Ironwoood, Nichols created and hosted numerous youth clinics as well as several tournaments for amateurs.

In 1973 he established the Cookeville City Amateur Championship and the Putnam Junior Championship. That same year, he was co•founder of the Elm Hill Meats Open (now the Ironwood Classic), the first pro event to be played at the new Ironwood Golf Course. In 1989 he established the Upper Cumberland Amateur Championship which is still a favorite among the local tournaments. He also helped create the Golden Eagle Scramble, a major fundraiser for Tennessee Tech and one of the largest tournaments held anywhere in the state.

"He gave a lot of kids a chance. He did a lot of things for the community and the junior golf programs," said Korth. "He was ahead of his time. He was able to see good ideas that could prosper and what it would do for individuals."

Perhaps one of his crowning achievements in golf was a personal triumph of sorts when he became owner of Ironwood in 1989.

"It didn't matter what condition Ironwood was in, people went there because he made them feel welcome," Manzaro explained. "He was an amazing man and will always be an icon in this area and in the state of Tennessee."

The funeral arrangements for Nichols include visitation at Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Cookeville on Tuesday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and then Wednesday from 9 a.m. until the funeral at 11 a.m. Nichols will be laid to rest in Cookeville City Cemetery. All TPGA Professionals will be honorary pall bearers.

"Outside of golf, to say he was great or an unbelievable man is so much of an understatement," said Stallings. "He was so much more than a golf coach or a golf professional. He was a wonderful, sweet man."

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Bobby Nichols Golf Endowment or the Earl and Rusty Nichols golf scholarship endowment at the Tennessee Tech Athletics Association, Box 5057, Cookeville, TN, 38505, or call the TTU athletics office at 372•3940.

"I am so fortunate that I got to work with Bobby Nichols," Wilson said. "There is so much I learned from him in the way he treated people and how kind that he was. I know that I am a better person and a better administrator because I had the chance to work alongside Bobby Nichols."

WOMAN LEAVES $500,000 GIFT TO TENNESSEE TECH TTU •• Living to be a century old may seem like only a dream to most, but for one Tennessee Tech graduate, it was a dream come true.Sheila Haggard Officer, who died in January at age 100 years, four months, and five days, realized her dream. Although she had long set for herself a goal of living to be 100 years old, she knew that as a single lady without children, she would eventually need to leave her legacy to an organization that shared her passion for learning. What better entity could there be than her alma mater, TTU? Now, thanks to a bequest of almost $500,000, generations of Tennessee Tech students will be able to realize their dreams of a college education.

"Miss Officer's life and work was a true testament to how one person can make a difference in the lives of many by sharing an interest and passion for education," said TTU President Bob Bell. "We are grateful for her lifelong association with our university and for her remarkable gift." Born in 1908 to Simpson Little Officer and Mary Arminda Verble, Officer knew from an early age that education was going to be an important aspect of her life. After completing her elementary and high school years in Putnam County, Officer began her higher education experience at TTU in 1927. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Tennessee Tech was quite different than it is today, with just a smattering of buildings and even fewer automobiles. This explains why Officer walked to school almost every day from her parents' home just northeast of the town square in the custom of proper girls of the time •• in heels and a dress.

While at Tennessee Tech, she discovered her true love •• the English language. After graduating with an English degree in 1931, she set off on a career that would allow her to share this love with many young men and women by teaching. For 35 years, Officer taught high school English in Putnam County, with a concentration and special fondness for English history. Officer had two other passions: reading and traveling. She once said that she had been or had at least flown over almost every country in the world. And wherever she went, she always read and gathered books for her collection, which grew to become an expansive home library.

Officer directed the university to establish three scholarships: the S.L. Officer Agricultural Scholarship in honor of her father, the Mary Verble Officer Human Ecology Scholarship in honor of her mother and the Sheila H. Officer English Scholarship. In addition, she bequeathed her expansive home library collection to the university for the benefit of future students. Officer's estate provided more than $473,000 for the three scholarships. In addition, the university's book collection grew by almost 700. "Miss Officer was a generous woman, and her significant gift will directly benefit students. We appreciate her gift and her dedication to education," said Homer Kemp, TTU English department interim chairperson.

GIRL’S BODY EXHUMED; HUNTER MAKES BOND:

The body of 15•year•old Patsy Lowe Pointer was exhumed here Tuesday on order of Scott Camp, assistant attorney general, at the direction of Baxter Key, attorney general, and with the consent of members of the family. Investigators are seeking to determine whether she died by her own hand or was murdered.

Paraffin casts of the girl’s hands were made in the hope of determining whether she had fired the pistol that sent a bullet into her right temple the night of April 13. The casts were taken to Nashville Wednesday by Sheriff Carlie Pierce, where he conferred with Sam Neal, State Safety Commissioner as to whether ot have them examined at a Nashville laboratory or sent to the FBI laboratory in Washington.

Two Cookeville doctors Tuesday performed an autopsy on the body, but had not completed their report Wednesday afternoon.

Howard Hunter, 37, operator of an automobile repair firm, who had been held for several days for questioning in the girl’s death, was formally arraigned Friday afternoon before General Sessions Judge John Bryan where he waived hearing to the May term of the Putnam County Grand jury. He made bond in the amount of $5,000, and was released Friday night.

R. E. L. PROFFITT:

The well known and capable circuit and criminal court clerk of Putnam county was born June 4, 1864 on a farm in the Fifteen district. His father, James Proffitt was a native of Carter county, and his mother (nee) Miss Lucinda Slagle was born in Sullivan county, both of East Tennessee. The family moved to Putnam county in 1854.

Mr. Proffitt grew to manhood on a farm, taught in public schools of Putnam and White counties seven years, sold goods ten years at the Dry Valley, and in 1902 he was elected circuit and criminal clerk serving one term of four years. In 1910 he was again chosen in this office. Mr. Proffitt enjoys the confidence and respect of the people, and as a true Christian gentleman, has at all times been a warm supporter of church, charity and public enterprises. He was married Sept. 30, 1894, to Miss Anna Goodwin of White county, and five sons and one daughter were born of this union.

A History of Tennessee and Tennesseans: the leaders and representative men in commerce, industry and modern activities. Vol. 6, By Will Thomas Hale, Dixon Lanier Merritt

Source : Original data: Hale, Will T.. A history of Tennessee and Tennesseans : the leaders and representative men in commerce, industry and modern activities. Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1913. Notes: “Illustrated." Paged continuously. Includes bibliographical references (v. 3, p. 845•849) and index. ROBERT E. L. PROFFITT. One of the most encouraging facts that can anywhere exist is that, in this country, a large proportion of those individuals who, by their public service, have attained a greater or less degree of eminence— or, mayhap, by their professional or business acquirements and talents have risen by their own efforts. In the sketch of the career of Robert E. L. Proffitt, clerk of the circuit court of Putnam county, there will be found something to encourage the exertions of those youths who, without fortune or influential friends, are struggling to overcome obstacles in the acquirement of position and financial independence. Like many of his fellow•citizens, Mr. Proffitt belongs to a family whose fortunes were swept away in the disasters that followed the outbreak of the war between the North and South, and his life from earliest boyhood has been one of constant industry and preserving effort, culminating in well• deserved success.

(Pictured: Robert Edward Lee Proffitt: Putnam County Herald, Thursday, 12 March 1914).

He is a native son of Putnam county, and was born June 4, 1864, a son of James and Lucinda (Slagle) Proffitt. The Proffitt family originated in Ireland, from whence came the progenitor, John Proffitt, the great•grandfather of Robert E. L. Proffitt. Among his children was James Proffitt, who was born in North Carolina and came to Tennessee at an early day, engaging in farming and becoming a successful man for his time. He married a Miss Keener. James Proffitt, son of James, and father of Robert E. L. Proffitt, was born in Carter county, Tennessee, in 1812, and there received a somewhat limited education. He made the most of his opportunities, early engaged in farming and stock raising, and became a successful man for his day, but the great struggle between the states cost him heavily, and his fortunes were lost with those of the South. He was a Democrat in politics. He died August 29, 1871. Mr. Proffitt was married in Sullivan county, Tennessee, in 1851, to Miss Lucinda Slagle, daughter of Frederick Slagle, a Sullivan county farmer. She was born in that county in 1830, and survived her husband many years, passing away December 2, 1909. They had nine children, of whom Robert E. L. was the eighth in order of birth, and of these five are still living: Emily, who married H. J. Mayberry and lives in Jackson county, Tennesse; Lorinah, who became the wife of "W. E. Henley and lives in White county; Franklin P., who is a resident of Fort Worth, Texas; Robert E. L.; and Samuel H., who lives in Hamilton county.

Robert E. L. Proffitt was but seven years of age when his father died, and his education was limited to attendance at the public schools of Putnam and White counties. He studied assiduously, however, and succeeded in securing a teacher's certificate, subsequently spending seven years as an educator. Later, he entered mercantile pursuits, in which he became successful, for ten years being proprietor of a general store in Putnam county, a Democrat in his political views, in September, 1902, he was elected clerk of the circuit court of Putnam county, and in 1910 again became the successful candidate of his party for that office, in which he is still efficiently serving. He has rendered his fellow•citizens signal service, and Putnam county has no more popular official. On September 30, 1894, Mr. Proffitt was married to Miss Annie Goodwin, daughter of James T. Goodwin, a farmer and merchant of White county, who served as a soldier in the Confederate army under Gen. Dibrell. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Proffitt: Notie, Roscoe, Hollis, Herman, Charles and Harvey, all of whom are attending school. Mr. and Mrs. Proffitt are faithful members of the Christian church, in the work of which they take an active part.

Capt. Jno. S. Quarles Passes Away: At His Home On East Broad St. Saturday Afternoon June 18th:

Cookeville lost one of her oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, on last Saturday afternoon, about five o’clock, when Capt. John S. Quarles passed away at his home on East Broad St.

Capt. Quarles had been in failing health for some years, but was able to walk up town and take his usual exercise up to a month ago, but since then he had been gradually growing weaker. The sad news of his demise was received with a feeling of genuine regret by his many friends and relatives in this and adjoing counties, for he was widely known and admired by a large circle. The funeral services were conducted at the residence by Rev. A. J. Coile and attended by a large and representative body of friends and relatives of the deceased. The remains were interred in the city cemetery at four o’clock Sunday afternoon.

Capt. Quarles was 83 years of age and had spent his entire life in Jackson and Putnam counties with the exception of the four years spent in the service of the Souther Confederacy. He had been a resident of Cookeville for the past 15 years, having moved here from Gainesboro, his native town. He was married in 1875 to Miss Fannie DeWitt of Gainesboro, who died several years ago. He is survived by three sons, John S., and Capt. James T. Quarles of Gainesboro; also by two sisters, Mrs. L. T. Robinson and Miss Susan Quarles, both of whom made their home with him as did Miss Annie Trigg Robinson, his niece.

Capt. Quarles enlisted as a private in the 8th Tennessee Infantry of the Confederate army, April 24th, 1861, and was paroled at Washington, GA, four years and sixteen days later. He was promoted to the rank of captain. He was in Johnston’s Division under the direct command of Gen. Chetham of Nashville, and when this division surrendered, he with a number of others were allowed the option of surrendering, or transferring to Gen. Dibrell’s command for the purpose of escorting President Jefferson Davis to the Mexican border, and he chose the latter. He refused to parole offered him at Washington, GA, in 1864, until he and his comrades in arms were allowed to retain their equipment. He loved the South and the cause for which he fought, and a more valiant soldier, nor a more modest one, ever marched to battle. He will be greatly missed in his community, and will long be remembered for the gallant part he played in his country’s history during the dark days of the Sixties. He was a kind and loving father and a real friend to all with whom he came in contact.

QUARLES, MRS. NANCY: Mrs. Nancy Quarles, wife of J. H. Quarles, was about 70 years old at the time of her death which occurred at her home in Cookeville Tenn., Nov. 12, 1903. The funeral services were conducted by this writer and Prof. S. B. Yeargan at the Cookeville cemetery on the afternoon of the 13th. Mrs. Quarles was converted in early life and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church in which fellowship she remained until her death. She was a very kind fiend and a good Christian woman. She was very fond of flowers and novelties and took great delight in cultivating her followers and fixing cure things for her house in a novel way. Many will remember her beautiful yard, particularly in early springtime. She was a great favorite with young people and would talk with them about things of interest to them. Her home was a favorite place for them to visit and have a good time. She said to me a few days before her death that she would be glad to go and cease from her sufferings. And then added: There is nothing in the way. "I want to go and be at rest. She said the same in substance to other friends." We commend the husband, who is left so lonely, to the word of God and to the good example of a Christian wife, that he may so live as to meet friends and loved ones in heaven. Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: [Date 12/2/1903, Vol. I, No. 32, Page 6]

QUARLES, MRS. NANCY: Mrs. Nancy Quarles wife of J. H. Quarles of Cookeville, departed this life Nov. 10th. 1903. Mrs. Quarles was 70 years of age, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. She was a loving wife, an affectionate mother, a good neighbor, and above all a sincere christian woman. She was uniformly cheerful, always having a pleasant word for every one, with a cheerful, musical voice. She made each one in her company happy. Of times the writer on his way to school in passing her home, heard her sweet voice calling her chickens, "her babies;" they quickly responded to the pleasant words. Like all homes in this world death had entered it, taking an only child, Mrs. Laura Lewis. This leaves Mr. Quarles the husband very lonely indeed. He can only imitate her noble example, and hope to meet her in the "Sweet Beyond." Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN: [Date 11/25/1903, Vol. I, No. 42, Page 6]

Mrs. A. A. Reagan’s Long Life Closes Sunday Afternoon:

Mrs. Nettie Horn Reagan, widow of the late Capt. Alexander A. Reagan, died Sunday afternoon, at her residence on Dixie Avenue. Her health had been impaired for several weeks and her death was due to the infirmities of age. Had she lived until the 13th day of November she would have attained the unusual age of ninety years.

Mrs. Regan was a daughter of Albert Horn, a prominent and highly esteemed pioneer citizen of the 4th Civil District of this county. Her mother’s maiden name was Johnson, a member of the well known pioneer Johnson family of this county and a sister of the Rev. Henry Johnson and John Johnson, two of the leading pioneer citizens of this county.

In her young ladyhood, she was married to Alexander A. Regan, a gallant former Confederate officer and at that time, a merchant on the Calf Killer river. Fifty years ago they moved to Cookeville and they there after resided in Cookeville until their deaths.

Capt. Reagan was engaged in the mercantile business in Cookeville for about fifteen years, and for many years he was proprietor of the “Richelieu Hotel,” now known as the Sidwell Hotel. Capt. Reagan’s death occurred on December 31, 1917.

During the fifity years of her residence in Cookeville Mrs. Regan saw Cookeville grown from a small inland town of, perhaps, four hundred inhabitants to a progressive small city of two thousand people.

Mrs. Regan was a devoted Christian from her girlhood. Reared in the Baptist Church, she was a member of that denomination in her early life, but joined the Methodist Church several years after moving to Cookeville. Her life was indeed a living example of the Christian virtues. She was an ideal wife, mother and neighbor.

She is survived by one son, Charles A. Reagan of Cookeville; three daughters, Miss Mamie Regan and Mrs. Daley Bennett of Cooekville and Mrs. F. M. Miller of Cinciannti, OH, one sister, Mrs. A. J. Elmore, of Crossville and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Two grown sons, Robert L. Reagan and Joe A. Regan died several years ago.

Blaze Damages Home of V. R. Williams:

Fire which partially destroyed the V. R. Williams residence on South Washington Avenue, last night, was probably caused by a defective flue, according to firemen who battled the blaze.

It is believed that the house, which has recently been remodeled by Williams, at a cost of several thousand dollars, had a fireplace, which had been plastered up for many years, and that the plaster came loose, permitting the fire to catch on the opposite wall.

This building, which was purchased last June by Williams, is one of the landmarks of Cookeville.

Built before the Civil War, it served for many years as the Reagan Hotel, and was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac D. Reagan.

After the death of Mr. Reagan, his son•in•law, E. D. Staley, ran the hotel and changed its name to the Staley Hotel. The hotel was discontinued at the death of Mr. Staley, and for several years it was the home of his son, I. D. Staley.

Later the house was bought by A. A. Staley and used as a rooming house until bought by Williams. The amount of damage had not been determined today. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williams were away from home at the time of the fire.

Mr. Richmond was a successful business man. During the years of his greatest activities he found time to devote to the public welfare. For several years he was a justice of the peace in Jackson county. He represented that county in the lower house of the Tennessee legislature from 1905 until 1909, when he moved to Cookeville. As a law maker he was a faithful public servant. He was present at every roll call and recognized as a leader, advocating at all time only such laws as would be to the best interest of the state. A life•long fighter for the principles of right for good against evil.

As a citizen of Cookeville he took active interest in the political and business affairs of the town and county. A true citizen, a man of singular personal charm; simple, sincere, affectionate; with a bright and happy humor; sympathetic and sensitive to the joys and sorrows of those around him, a faithful and active member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Richmond married Miss Ova Frances Moore in 1874. From that union three children were born, all of whom are living. They are: Mrs. Walter Carlen of this city; Col. H. R. and Maj. Frank Richmond, Jr., officers in the army, and stationed at Ft. Riley, KS. There are living thirteen grandchildren. His first wife died in 1897. A few years later he married Miss Josie Lee, who survives him.

His remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. A. J. Coile at the Cumberland Presbyterian church. The pallbearers were: Honorary – J. N. Cox, A. G. Maxwell, R. L. Farley, W. M. Shanks, J. D. Dow, Ezra Davis. Active• R. L. Maddux, Algood Carlen, Benton Carlen, Herbert Carlen, Coe McDonald, Harry Shanks.

“O what a glory doth this world put on For him who, with a fervent heart, goes forth Under the bright and glorious sky, and looks On duties well performed, and days well spent! For him the wind, ay, and the yellow leaves Shall have a voice, and give him eloquent teachings. He shall so hear the solemn humn, that Death He lifted up for all, that he shall go To his long resting•place without a tear.”

Popular Young Man Loses His Life From a Railroad Accident • Thursday morning, Nov. 19, 1903, Charlie Shanks of this city, a brakeman on the T. C. railroad had an ankle and lower leg crushed while coupling cars at Crab Orchard. He was brought home and his injuries dressed, and on Friday was taken to the city hospital in Nashville in order to receive treatment of Dr. Fort, chief surgeon for the railroad company. On Saturday it was found amputation would be necessary, and accordingly his foot was taken off. The poor boy never rallied from the shock, but lingered on until Tuesday morning, when he died. His wife and mother went to him Sunday, and with his brothers Mackie and Herbert, were with him to the end. Every service mortal could render was given him, but an all wise Providence ruled to cut short the young life. The remains were brought home Tuesday night and the funeral services conducted Wednesday at 2 o'clock at Duke House by Rev. G. W. Nackles.Interment at the Cookeville cemetery under auspices of the local Odd Fellows lodge. Language is impotent to express our feeling in this hour of sadness, and through our tears, we can only extend our most sincere sympathy to the sorrowing family. Especially does our heart bleed for the bereaved mother, and the young wife and babe so rudely separated from the loving husband and father. May the Great Comforter uphold them in their sorrow.

Source: Heritage of Putnam County Tennessee – 2008 by Putnam County Heritage Book Committee, pg. 61 • #235 Shanks Hotel. The Shanks Hotel is thought to have been built around the Duke Hotel. When the Shanks Hotel burned on May 12, 1968, it was the wooden construction that burned. It is believed that this was the Duke Hotel. Herby J. Shanks owned the hotel. His family came from Shanksville, PA; he married Elizabeth Maddux from Granville, TN. Pip Shanks, brother to Herby, ran the hotel. Pip married Pauline Speck of Algood, TN. The train would not run at night. If it could make it to Nashville before dark, they would run; if not, they would stay in Cookeville. Cookeville got the name “Hub” because this was a meeting place for salesmen to show their wares. There was a livery stable next to the hotel. Herby made a deal with the conductor to furnish people from the train a room, breakfast, and dinner for one price.

Herby also had the three story home plus basement at 1539 West Broad Street to be used when he had an overflow at the hotel. The basement, second and third floors were all apartments. It was George Shanks’ (son of Herby’s) job to build a fire in each stove in the morning before the guest woke up. There were no locks on the doors.

George married Kathleen Skidmore. They met at Bowling Green Business College. George went to work for the government in 1949. They have one son, Bud Shanks.

When the hotel burned in 1968, they decided not to rebuild because I•40 was just being completed, and the town was moving closer to I•40. Story submitted by: Bud Shanks. Picture submitted by: The Cookeville City History Museum.

Mahaley Wiley Shaw d. April 1879, md Thomas Jefferson Shaw. Marker states: This marks the grave of Mahaley Wiley Shaw who donated first two acres of this cemetery and was the first person buried in Cookeville Cemetery.(Came to Cookeville before Civil War. Son Joe was a Major in the famous Shaw’s Battalion in the Confederate army; Sid S. and Norman were his sons. Her daughter Artie Mincie md John Montgomery. D. A., Robt J., Luke Montgomery, and Mrs. Jesse C. Barnes were her children. Major Joe was killed in 1864). *See Mary Victoria (Berry) Shaw Obt. *See Norman Wilson Shaw Obt. *See Sidney S. Shaw buried in Cookeville City Cemetery.

By Deed of Gift, Mahaley Wiley Shaw and her daughter, Artimissa, donated two acres of land to the City of Cookeville for use as a cemetery. What prompted the gift? We are not sure. What we do know follows: Mahaley was married to Thomas Jefferson Shaw. Their son, Joseph, was living in one of the first frame houses built in the area, on what is now Dixie Avenue, with his wifeMargaret Apple of Chestnut Mound. Even though he was past thirty at the outbreak of the Civil War, he quickly joined the Army of the Confederacy. He was a major in the Fourth Tennessee Battalion when he was shot in the chest during the Battle of Newington, Georgia, one of many engagements around the important port city of Savannah. He was transported to a nearby plantation owned by the family named Enoch who cared for him for nine days before he succumbed to his wounds. The exigencies of the war prevented the transportation of his corpse to Cookeville, so the Enoch family graciously buried him on their ground going so far as to erect a grave marker with an engraved tribute to a man they never really knew.

Shortly after the Civil War, as the period of reconstruction invigorated the economy of the area, they opened the Shaw House, a hotel which was located near the city square joining the Isbell Hotel and the Reagan (later the Richlieu and the Sidwell.) The Shaw House included common rooms for meetings and events, a livery stable and an elegant restaurant. Jefferson opened a saloon as well on the south side of the square, which already contained four others. The Shaws prospered during this period and they were able to acquire a fair amount of property including the cemetery site. The Shaw House, the Reagan Hotel several wooden buildings near the square were destroyed in a great fire in 1881. This loss, though, was not as painful as the loss, nearly twenty years earlier, of their son Joseph, a son buried so very far from home.

The story of Mahaley Wiley Shaw was researched by Linda Hawkins & Margery Hargrove.

J. F. Slagle, Pioneer, And Well Known Citizen Passes Away: End Comes While At Home Here Last Saturday:

Another of Cookeville’s oldest, best known and most highly respected citizens passed from the scenes of life to the great beyond when the life of J. R. Slagle came to a close last Saturday afternoon at his home on West Broad Street, after having been in declining health for about three eyars, following injuries received in Nashville when he was knocked down by an automobile. However, for several months his condition had been improving and the turn for the worse came only a short while before his death.

John Frederick Slagle was born at Kingsport, TN, February 26, 1851, being almost 79 years of age when the end came. While just a boy he came with his parents to Putnam county and settled at the Algood home place near the present town of Algood. For several years he was engaged in the saw mill business at various point in this and adjoing counties, being associated with the late Howard Farley most of the time. Soon after the railroad came to Messrs. Farley & Slagle with Jere Whitson, operated a planning mill in this city which was supplied with rough lumber from their saw mills in Dry Valley and at other points. These gentlemen with a few others, operated the roller mill here for some time.

After retiring from the mill enterprises Mr. Slagle operated a grocery store for some time, and for several years was at Davidson, TN, and Rabun Gap, GA, as chief engineer for the Davidson, Hicks & Green Co. He also spent several months in Nashville.

Mr. Slagle was married twice. First, to Miss Maggie Sherrell, who passed away many years ago, and on September 5, 1888, he was married to Miss Fannie Patterson, who survives him, together with a daughter, Mrs. Della Gentry, of this city, and a son, William Slagle, of Nashville. He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Mollie McKinley, of Buffalo Valley; Mrs. Van Wiggins, of Algood; and Mrs. Fannie Martin, of Monterey; and two brothers, James Slagle, of White county; and Eugene Slagle, of Monterey; besides a host of other relatives.

Mr. Slagle was a 32nd degree Mason and a veteran Odd Fellow, and his remains were buried in the City cemetery Monday with Masonic rites, after funeral services had been conducted at the residence by Revs. B. W. Covington and W. B. Gentry, with a large crowd of friends present to pay their last respects to their departed relative and friend.

Although Mr. Slagle was not a member of any church, he had professed Christianity a few years before his death. He was a man of the strictest integrity and of great kindliness of heart and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him.

Thus passes away another splendid citizen, long identified with Putnam county and Cookeville, who so lived and conducted himself as to make for himself a character of which his descendents may ever justly fell proud.

Capt. Samuel G. Slaughter (1820•1903) was one of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of Cookeville and Putnam County during the county’s early history. He was a native of Smith County. He was a gallant Confederate Captain during the Civil War, and at the close of that war he located in Cookeville, where he purchased a large tract of land and erected the residence on North Washington Street which he thereafter occupied until his death on April 22, 1903, at the age of 83 years.

In the early 70’s Capt. Slaughter, Jesse Arnold, J. H. Moore and Henry P. Davis established a large general store on the South side of the Public Square. It was known as the “Stock Store”, by reason of the fact that the business was incorporated and a number of other citizens acquired stock in the business. The company erected a large two•story building. This early mercantile business establishment enjoyed a prosperous business until its store building was destroyed by fire in 1882.

Soon after Capt. Slaughter located in Cookeville, he was elected a Justice of the Peace of the First Civil District, in which position he served fro about twenty•five years as Chairman of the County Court of Putnam County.

Capt. Slaughter was largely instrumental in the organization of the Cookeville Church of Christ and the erection of its first church building on Washington Street. He served as an Elder of the church from its organization until his death. He survived his wife for only a few months. Their graves are in the Cookeville Cemetery.

SILVER POINT: MRS. MATTIE SMITH DIES:

In the death of Mrs. Mattie Smith which occurred at her home Wednesday morning, August 12, humanity loses one of its most gracious and useful women.

Mrs. Smith was a wonderful woman; so good, so high minded, so charitable, lovable and a lover of all human kind.

In a life of sixty three years, no unkind word about her fellowman ever escaped her lips, no unkind thought ever clouded her mind, but through all the years her life was filled with good deeds and practiced charity, that made her a benefactor in this section.

Her hospitable home was ever open to her friends and their friends. The crowds were never too large to find comfortable entertainment. The good humor and wisdom which emanated from this cheerful, smiling Christian woman, made the honorees of her hospitality realize that life was worth living. The young folks as well as old, flocked to her home. They loved her, they enjoyed her, she was entertainment and instructive to them. Not a heart but aches, that knew here, and the unbroken rayers of her friends bespeak for her the eternal rest that comes to those who love the Lord. It matters not how great the offense or wrong, Mrs. Smith had a word of defense and good for the wrong doer • she breathed kindness, she lived kindness.

Funeral services were conducted at the home, Thursday afternoon, by Rev. J. A. Harris, of Baxter.

Interment took place in the Cookeville cemetery.

Pallbearers were Beecher Wallace, Herman Alcorn, Will Julian G. H. Denny, Alfred Gill and Bismark Rowland.

She leaves a husband, Dr. T. J. Smith, daughter, Mrs. H. C. Curtis, son, Lionel, brother, F. W. McDonald, three sisters, Misses Sallie and Lucille McDonald and Mrs. Johnnie Moss, four grandchildren, Ashley and Lee Donald Smith, Bill and Carolyn Curtis, and a host of friends to mourn her death.

Wm. M. Smoot: Cookeville’s Most Prominent and Successful Contractor and Builder – is Also Wholesale Selling Agent for all Kinds of Building Materials.

No individual has done more for Cookeville and Putnam county in the matter of educating its business men and citizens to appreciate the importance of new building and its consequent development than has Mr. Wm. M. Smoot. This gentleman was born in Lincoln, but what is now Moore county, this state, and has been in the contracting and building business in Tennessee, Alabama and Texas since 1870. He has been a citizen of Cookeville since 1890, and was here married to Miss Addie Speakman in 1897.

Among the lasting and tangible evidences of Mr. Smoot’s work we refer to our courthouse and county jail, the Christian Methodist and Presbyterian churches, residences of Jere Whitson, R. L. Farley, and Ruthledge Smith, the Elrod Block, Maxwell & Dow building, Maxwell Bros. Wholesale Grocery house, Citizens Bank, the new and magnificent Arcade Building just being completed, Dixie University, at a cost of $65,000, and is now erecting the Bible School building on the campus of Dixe University. In 1884 Mr. Smoot erected the Moore county courthouse at Lynchburg, county seat.

Mr. Smoot posses an inherent genius for the profession which he adorns. He frequently makes his own architectural drawings, and the originality and beauty of his plans and designs have brought him into prominence inthree states in which he has done business.

John Speakman Killed By Switch Engine: One of Cookeville’s Most Highly Respected Citizens Meets Instant Death:

One of the most appalling tragedies in the history of Cookeville occurred at the Tennessee Central passenger station last Monday morning at eight o’clock, when John Speakman was struck and instantly killed by a switch engine.

Mr. Speakman who was almost totally deaf, was crossing the track on the north side, and evidently was not aware of the fact that the engine was approaching, as it was traveling at a slow rate of speed, according to eye witnesses, and was just in the act of crossing over the rail of the track and had he quickened his motion the least bit would have been safety over. But he did not otherwise and he was caught by the cow•catcher of the engine and drawn back to instant death. The engine was stopped a few feet from where the accident occurred and the body did not get under the train but was badly broken in places. Two of three bystanders rushed to the rescue but he was dead before they could reach him. The body was immediately carried to the rear room at the barber shop by the railway authorities and a little later carried over to the family.

John Speakman was a most repected citizen and will be greatly missed in his community. He was a tinner by trade and in this capacity had worked in this trade during his twenty•two years residence in Cookeville, He held the confidence of all with whom he came in contact. Despite his deafness which was of course a great handicap to him, he was always jovial, and invariably had a pleasant word of greeting for everyone. He was especially fond of children and was a great favorite among the little folks. At the time of the fatal accident one little fellow we are told, knew the danager his friend was in, and realizing that an alarm would be of no avail, ran as fast as his little legs would carry him to pull Mr. Speakman out of harm’s way, but he was too late.

Mr. Speakman was 59 years of age. He was born in Jackson county, having moved from Gainesboro to Cookeville a quarter of a century ago. He is survived by a wife and four daughters. He also was the father of four sons, all of whom preceded him to the grave. He is also survived by two sisters who live in Cookevlle, Mrs. Wm. Smoot and Mrs. Nina Embry. One brother, Hall Speakman, was here to attend the funeral, which was conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock by Rev. C. L. Talley of the Christian Church. The remains were interred in the city cemetery at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, attended by many relatives and friends of the deceased.

The Herald joins the enire community in heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow.

Motorcyclist killed in late•night crash Mary Jo Denton Herald•Citizen Staff Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009

COOKEVILLE •• A Cookeville man was killed in a motorcycle accident on a city street early today, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Bobby James Spell, 28, of Garrett Avenue, died in the crash, which happened around 1:30 a.m. at Spring Street and Willow Avenue. (Pictured: Bobby James Spell, who was killed in a motorcycle crash in March, led a full, happy life and was very much loved in his family, which included his two young nieces, Joyce and Courtney).

Spell was one of three motorcyclists passing through that area at the time, police said.

Cookeville Police Officer Robert Cantwell was patrolling in the area and noticed that one of the three, a female, was not wearing a helmet.

"My understanding, from the information I have at this point, is that Officer Cantwell saw three motorcycles westbound on Spring at Willow, saw that one driver did not have a helmet, and turned around to investigate," Cookeville Police Chief Bob Terry said.

But the three motorcyclists allegedly took off at a high rate of speed, and Bobby James Spell's 2003 Honda B60 cycle ran off the right side of the street.

According to a report by THP Lt. Brian Lawson, Spell's cycle was traveling very fast, and he lost control of the vehicle, which overturned. Spell "was separated from the motorcycle," the THP report says.

Reportedly, Spell was killed instantly.

Funeral Services For Accident Victim Held Sunday Afternoon:

Lawrence D. Stamps, 26, Found Dead In Wrecked Car Near Monterey By Crossville Physician: Prominent Lodge Worker:

Funeral services for Lawrence D. Stamps. 26, who was found dead in his wreched automobile early Friday morning near Monterey were conducted at the First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon by the pastor, the Rev. Sam Edwards, assisted by the Rev. E. M. Steel, of the Cookeville Methodist Church, and the Rev. O. P. Gentry, of Monterey. Buiral took place in the City Cemetery.

One of the larges crowds ever seen at a Cookeville funeral was present to do homage to Stamps, who was prominent in local lodge activities. He was District Deputy of the Moder Woodmen, Clerk of the Cookeville Camp, was a Mason, a clerk in the Cookeville post office, and member of the Cookeville fire department. He was also a member of the Baptist Church.

Stamps was found dead in his wrecked automobile three miles east of Monterey early Friday morning by Dr. V. L. Lewis, of Crossville. Dr. Lewis, unable to remove the body, said to have been dead more than an hour when found, drove to Monterey for assistance.

It was believed that Stamps, in attempting to light a cigarette, had failed to see a curve and his car, evidently going at a high rate of speed, failed to make a curve and plunged into a telephone pole. The car was almost totally demolished. Stamps’ ribs were crushed and were driven into his lungs, undertakers said which caused his death.

Had Attended Meeting:

Stamps was returning to Cookeville alone from Crossville where he had attended a meeting of the M. W. A. camp. He was intending to stop at Monterey to get his family who were visiting there. It was believed the accident occurred at about 10 o’clock Thursday night. Several motorists passed the scene of the accident, but did not investigate. A truck driver stopped his truck, looked at the wreck, but failed to discover the boyd.

His death was a shock to him many friends in Cookeville and many nearby towns.

The local Masonic Lodge and the M. W. A. had charge of services at the grave.

Besides his parents, Mrs. and Mrs. John S. Stamps, of Cookeville, Stamps is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ruth Ledbetter Stamps, and two small children.

The death of Mrs. Garland Stanton, which occurred last Monday, Sept. 22, in Akron, though not unexpected, caused much sorrow and regret to her many friends and relatives in this community.

Before her marriage, Nov. 25, 1926, she was Miss Dica Jean Childers, of Leon, West Virginia. Having been an orphan since babyhood, she was reared by her grandmother, who survives her. She is also survived by her husband and two sons, Garland Gerald age three years and Frank L. age, four months.

She was a loving mother and an affectionate wife. Her gently nature and sweet disposition won the friendship and love of all whom she met.

During her lingering illness she born her suffering patiently and even to the last she met everyone with a brave smile and endeavored to keep her suffering to herself.

A month before her death, she made the great sacrifice of giving up her babies that they might be brought to her husband’s home where they could be better cared for, and it was not until a few days before the end that she gave up her valiant struggle for life that she might rear her children.

She professed religion Sept. 15. Rev. Dow Ensor preached her funeral at the Pleasant Grove Methodist Church and a host of people attended.

The pallbearers were: Alex Burton, Clennis Huddleston, Charlie B. Ensor, Anthony Bush, John Leftwich, Claude and Harwood Huddleston, Wirt Leftwich and Morgan Jared. The remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery.

S. S. Stanton Dies Suddenly At His Home Here Friday Night: Unexpected Passing IS Shock To Hundreds Of Friends Of Ex•Putnam Register: Was In Insurance Business.

Sidney S. Stanton, aged 70, died suddenly last Friday night, at his home in Cookeville. His death came as a shock to most of his friends throughout this county. However, it was known to his family and to a number of his friends that he had not enjoyed good health for the past year. He had, at intervals, during this period suffered from high blood pressure. On last Friday he spent most of the day in town, attending to business, and appeared to be stronger and in better health than usual. As the word spread throughout Cookeville and Putnam county that Sidney S. Stanton was dead, the comment heard upon every hand was, “He was a good man and he was my friend.”

He was one of Putnam county’s best known and most highly esteemed citizens. He was the last surviving child of the distinguished ante•bellum lawyer, orator, and Whig leader and brave Confederate officer, Colonel Sidney S. Stanton, Colonel of the gallant 28th Tennessee Confederate regiment, who met an heroic death on the bloody battlefield of Resaca, GA, in 1864, while leading his regiment.

Although born and reared in what is now the Tenth civil district of Putnam county, Col. Stanton was a resident of Carthage, where he was engaged in the practice of his profession when the Civil war broke out, and his son, Sidney S. Stanton, was born in Carthage on April 1, 1862.

His boyhood was principally spent in the Tenth civil district of this county, where his grandfather, Stanton and many of his other relatives resided. In his young manhood he was married to Miss Savannah Sadler, of the Tenth district, and he continued to reside in that district, engaged in farming, until about twenty•one years ago, when, in order to give his children better educational advantages, he moved to Cookeville, and, for a few years, was engaged in the grocery business on the South side of the public square.

In 1914 he was elected County Register of Putnam county in which office he served for eight years, making a faithful and efficient officer.

During the past ten years he has conducted an insurance agency in this city.

He was a most genial, kind hearted and obliging man, who always greeted his friends and acquaintances with words of friendliness and good cheer.

He was a faithful member of the Southern Methodist Church, and was an Odd Fellow.

He was a devoted husband and father, a loyal friend, and a splendid citizen.

While he was only two years old when his distinguished father gave his life for the Southland, he greatly reverenced the memory of his father and mother. His mother, Mrs. Martha Apple Stanton, was a sister of the late Esq. J. C. “Jack” Apple, who spent his life near Chestnut Mound, in Smith county, and was one of Smith county’s leading citizens. The wives of Col. Stanton, Major Shaw and Captain McDearman were all sisters. Major Shaw, like Colonel Stanton, lost his life on a Georgia battlefield.

One of the most largely attended funerals in the history of Cookeville was on last Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church, when hundreds of friends assembled to pay a last mark of respect to Sidney S. Stanton. The large church auditorium was crowded to its full capacity, and many were unable to crowd into the church. Many beautiful floral designs attested the love of friends. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. E. M. Steel, pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. Dow A. Ensor.

Following the service at the church, burial took place in the family lot in the Cookeville Cemetery. The Odd Fellows’ burial service was conducted at the grave. The deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. Savannha Sadler Stanton, and by eight grown children as follows: Mrs. W. E. Hutcheson, of Nashville; Mrs. Emerson Wertham, of Elizabethtown, KY; Mrs. Floyd E. Harding, of Los Angeles, CA; Charles Stanton, Layton Stanton, Miss Emily Stanton and Miss Elnora Stanton, of Cookeville; and Lucian Stanton, of McMinnville; also by many other relatives in this city and county.

Teacher, Librarian, Devotee of Learning & Books

Born in 1901 to the teacher of a one room school, Clara Ann Starnes spent her childhood surrounded by books and learning. Her love for books, learning, and children inspired her to help others to appreciate the value of books and a good education.

“Miss Clara,” as she was called by many, began her formal education in her father’s one room schoolhouse. After graduating from the eighth grade she attended high school at what was to later become Tennessee Technological University. At the end of her formal education, when she was only eighteen years old, she began teaching a one•room school of her own.

Because of her love for learning and books, “Miss Clara” returned to Teachers in Nashville, TN with a degree in Library Science. Clara joined the Cookeville Book Lover’s Club and when in 1923 it was decided that all twelve of the club members purchase a book, she was eager to do so. Because of the success of these twelve women and their fund•raising efforts, a circulating library of over a thousand books was started in 1929. And it was with this beginning that Miss Clara Starnes achieved her life•long goal of becoming a librarian.

The library continued to grow and in 1939, the public library and the Putnam County School Library were combined into the Clara Cox Epperson Library and “Miss Clara” became its first librarian.

Upon retirement, “Miss Clara” stayed active in her church, The First Baptist Church, continued her reading, and her other love sewing. Until her death in 1984, her home continued to be a welcoming place for all her nieces and nephews and books.

“A book is not only a friend, it makes friends for you. when you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on, you are enriched threefold.” Henry Miller

His patients frequently called upon him for medical services and he was prevented from retiring entirely from practice even up to the beginning of his last illness.

He was born in Fentress County and spent the early part of his life there. In 1876 he moved to the State of Washington, where he resided ten years. Returning to Fentress County he resided there until his removal to Cookeville 27 years ago.

Was Office Holder:

He served a term as county judge of Fentress County and a term as superintendent of education. He also served as chairman of the county board of education. He studied law and was admitted to the state bar.

He opposed Cordell Hull for floterial representative of Clay, Overton, Fentress and Pickett counties in the election of 1894, which was Secretary Hull’s second political race, and was defeated. He was a lifelong Republican.

He studied medicine at the University of Tennessee and the Vanderbilt University medical schools at Nashville and graduated from the U. T. school in 1887. He began the practice of medicine at Jamestown and practiced there and at Forbus until his removal to Cookeville.

Noted Physician:

He was noted for his treatment of typhoid fever and pneumonia cases, and during his long practice, most of which was before the day of the automobile, he rode hundreds of miles horseback and in buggies to minister to his patients.

He was one of the oldest members of the Odd Fellows and Masonic orders in the state. He was a pioneer member of the Upper Cumberland Medical Society. He was a member of the Baptist Church.

He was married three times and was the father of 14 children, ten of whom survive him. His last wife, Mrs. Sarah Choate Storie, also survives him.

The surviving daughters include, Mrs. Pansy Garrett of Jamestown, Mrs. May Frick of Cookeville, Mrs. Walter Hamby and Mrs. E. L. Brooks, both of Dayton, OH, and Mrs. Dewey Davis and Mrs. E. L. Poor, both of Los Angeles, CA. Four sons, Dr. I. R. Storie of Jamestown, O. D. Storie of Stearns, KY, Paul E. Storie of Los Angeles, CA, and C. M.

WOMAN ACCIDENTALLY KILLED IN CHURCH PARKING LOT by Mary Jo Denton

COOKEVILLE — A woman was killed in a traffic accident in a church parking lot on Sunday morning, police said. Nancy Karen Stout, 65, of W. Cemetery Road, Cookeville, died after being struck by a car about 11 a.m. at the Jefferson Avenue Church of Christ, said Cookeville Police Capt. Mark Maxwell. The driver of the car, Paul Wright, 83, of Cookeville, was not injured and reportedly told police he had put his foot on the gas pedal of his car and that “it stuck.” (Pictured: Adriel and Nancy Stout)

As a church service had just ended and church members were walking to the fellowship building behind the church, Wright got into his 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier and “accelerated across the parking lot,” Capt. Maxwell said. Nancy Karen Stout and others were walking across the parking lot, and her husband and their grandchild were already in their vehicle waiting for her, the officer said. “The car struck Mrs. Stout, knocking her on top of the vehicle’s hood. She then fell to the pavement.”

Reportedly, the victim died instantly.

“Mr. Wright thought his gas pedal got stuck, but in my opinion, he may have mistaken the gas pedal for the brake,” Capt. Maxwell said. “That’s just my opinion. We are still investigating.” Both Stout and Wright had attended church services there just prior to the accident. Nancy Stout, who owned Nan’s Day Care on Stevens St., is well known in the church and in this area. “Everybody said she’s a fine lady,” Capt. Maxwell said. Rescuers from the Cookeville Fire Dept. and medics from the Putnam Ambulance Service rushed to the scene, but were unable to save the victim. Sheriff David Andrews, Police Chief Bob Terry, Capt. Maxwell and members of the Traffic Division were among the officers at the scene.

THE MOONBEAM SONG:

Have you ever watched a moonbeam As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weather vane Or sat along a moving train And wondered where the train has been

Or on a fence with bits of crap Around its bottom Blown there by a windbeam Who searches for the moonbeam Who was last seen

Looking at the tracks Of the careless windbeam Or moving to the clacks Of the tireless freight train And lighting up the sides Of the weather vane And the bits of rain And the windowpane And the eyes of those Who think they saw what happened...
