Added R. M.
Brooks Store . . . A present day trip into the past
A local landmark, the R.M. Brooks General Store in Rugby, is the most
recent addition from Morgan County to The National Register of Historic
Places. The store has been the center of social interaction and
commercial exchange for community members and visitors since its
inception in the early 1930s by R. M. and Nettie Brooks.
Added Abstracts of Scott County
Marriages . . . From The Records Of The Scott County Historical Society
(part I)
This article, as it appeared in the Independent Herald, simply listed
the husband's name, the wife's name, and a marriage date (from 1854
through 1868). It is not clear if the marriage date is a bond
date, a license date, or an actual marriage ceremony date. I have
taken the list and merged the names and dates with other names and dates
found on the Scott Co, TN Marriages
page. I did this to provide a single location for finding
information on marriages performed in Scott County.
Added Lenna Marr
Smith
A short biography for Lenna Marr Smith, who taught school in Scott
County for 40 years.
Added The Early Days of
Oak Grove
As with most towns in the late 1940s and early 1950s, there was a
movement of businesses away from downtown to suburban areas. This could
have resulted from the post-war suburban housing project
"boom" and the inherent need of these families for groceries,
gasoline, household items and clothing convenient to where they lived.
This suburban movement in Oneida was toward Oak Grove. It was rarely
referred to as a suburb, though, it has always been referred to as the
"Oak Grove Section." This story focuses on the
businesses that were in existence or built in Oak Grove in the 1940s and
1950s and how they have evolved.
Added Bethlehem
Baptist Church, 1834 - 1996
It is difficult for most of us to envision 162 years of history let
alone realize that one institution, one church, could endure all the
pressures of a changing society to remain a cornerstone in the
development of a community and a county which were to come into being
long after its establishment. But such is the history of the Bethlehem
Baptist Church, which was founded 15 years before the state issued a
charter to create Scott County and a full 83 years before the emergence
of the town of Oneida.
Added Josie
Jane Shoemaker: A Woman Before Her Time
Josie Jane Ellis was born July 6, 1894 to Sanders and Vadie Parker Ellis
in the Black Creek community of Scott County. On October 18, 1918 she

Creek area. They lived their entire lives raising their family and
operating successful businesses in Scott County.

Blevins, 1904-1984

Effective 13 June 2000 all new queries will be posted on Rootsweb. Queries older than 13 Jun 2000 can be viewed at Scott Co, TN Queries Index. Newer queries can be viewed at the Rootsweb page. While Rootsweb doesn't provide the same detailed indexing you are used to on the Scott Co site, it will provide much faster posting (instantaneous). There is a search capability you can use but it won't be of use when trying to find derived names. I'm making this change because it takes too much of my time to format and index the queries which often times resulted in a 4 to 6 week delay from when you first requested the query and when it first appeared.
