Chumlea, who was appointed Clerk &amp; Master of the Chancery court the first of the week, was born in Knox County in 1845. \u00a0He came to this county, July 1875. \u00a0For three years after he came to Blount he clerked in the store of H.L. Bradley, which stood where A.K. Harpers now stands. \u00a0In August 1878 he was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court and he served the people so faithfully and well during his first term that he was elected to this since the second and third time, \u00a0serving in all twelve years. \u00a0During four years of the time that he was Circuit Court Clerk he served as Justice of the Peace, and the last three years he served as Deputy Clerk and Master. \u00a0 Oct. 21, 1890, he was appointed Clerk and Master by Judge Gibson and has served six years in this office and his reappointment for another six years is certainly a high compliment to his efficiency. \u00a0 If Mr. Chumlea lives to serve out his present term he will have served Blount County in official capacity a total of twenty-four years and he will be 57 years old. \u00a0 This is certainly a long and honorable record, a record of which any might feel proud.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Source: Maryville Times Newspaper.
