abt 1935 I lived in Burrville, Tennessee with my twin brother, John T., my grandmother, Ida Belle, and my uncle, James Earl. John and I went to the first grade in a small school house . One teacher had four grades in one room. One of our teacher was Reba Goff. She later married my Uncle Jim. My uncle Jim drove the school bus from Burrville to Sunbright to the high school there. I recall walking to school which was about half mile down the road. My grandmother's sister, Lizzy, lived about two miles down the road. Her husband, John B. Peters was the preacher in Burrville. I'm told that he married couples in his front yard. My Great Aunt Lizzy I later learned was named Sara Elizebeth. Her daughter, Orpha Jacks lived a short distance from our house which was refereed as the Mathuew house. I'm told he owned the lumber yard in Sunbright. Orpha had seven children. Burrville had a general store owned by the Greer family. We did not have electricity or phone. We had an outside privey a short distance from the house and a well on the back porch. My uncle Jim drove grandfather's car from Indiana that had wooden spoke wheels. He parked it in a small shed up on blocks. Grandmother baked biscuits or corn bread almost every day in a wood burning stove. We used kerosene lamps for light. We played games like marbles, mumbly-peg and hop scotch. Another game we played used a small box with a small hole in it. The object was to take a small hickory nut holding it near your nose and drop it so it went into the hole.
Years later Uncle Jim bought the Greer General Store. He and Aunt Reba lived above the store. They had three daughters. Carol Anne , was still born. Janis Lynn, and Judy Elaine are the other two daughters. Loretta and I visited him in 1949 when I was discharged from the army. We had a 1-ton 1940 panel truck full of all our belongings. We were moving from Biloxi, Missippi to Beach Grove. I was twenty years old. We had just gotten married six month earlier. Several years later Grandmother and Grandfather Chasteen bought a small 2-bedroom, shotgun, house across the street from where I lived in the Matthew house. Grandmother passed away in 1954 while I was in Triese, Italy . Uncle Jim, Aunt Reba, Grandmother and Grandfather are buried in Burrville, Tennessee..

MARRIAGES and MARRIAGE LICENSE 1941 - From the MORGAN COUNTY NEWS James Chasteen to Reba Goff - m 6/1/1941
~~~~~~
In 1942 my twin brother John and I took a train trip with our grandmother, Ida Belle, from Jeffersonville, Indiana to Knoxville, Tennesee to visit our Uncle Jim and Aunt Reba. Uncle Jim owned a small grocery store there. I was thirteen years old and grandmother had never allowed us to go to the movies. At the Tennessee Theater the movie "Mrs. Miniver" was showing with Greer Garson and Walter Piegon. Uncle Jim intereeded and we allowed to see the movie. The highlight of that event was the pipe organ that rose up from the Orchaster Pit. The music played after the movie filled the entire theater. Years later in 2006 we moved to Knoxville and attended the Tennessee Theater for several organ concert. That theater was built in 1928. Its interior was designed by Chicago architects Graven & Mayger in the Spanish-Moorish style, although the design incorporates elements from all parts of the world: Czechoslovakian crystals in the French-style chandeliers, Italian terrazzo flooring in the Grand Lobby, and Oriental influences in the carpet and drapery patterns. The theatre also featured a beautiful Wurlitzer Organ.

~~~~~~
Between 1953 and 1962 James Earl Chasteen owned and operated the general store in Burrville.
Before that he operated the Broadway Food Market about 1941 . Not sure when he moved back to Burrville. When he was in Knoxville he drove a taxi cab, taught school, operated a small store. Reba, his wife taught school and worked at Alco Company.

abt 1960 TOM YOUNG FROM BURRVILLE FURNISHED THE INFORMATION BELOW:
I don't remember a lot about James. He led the singing in the church. and furnished the gas for the lawn moweres that Adam Miller and I used to mow the church lawn. The summer I worked for him was a good experance. It helped me to deal with the public. He taught me a lot about the store buisness. He was a very good person. i used his truck a lot hauling off the trash, delivering groceries. etc. and no drivers license he! he! . His dad stayed at the store a lot. He would talk to people while they were shopping, Mom helped take care of his wife and clean his house and do his washing, When he got very sick I drove him to the hospital in Crosville while mom worked with him trying to keep him alive. He was in the hospital a few days before he died. When james got sick i visited him in the hospital in Knoxville, He got better and got to come home but he would make a lot of errors giving people change when they got groceries. i went to Ohio for a couple years and when I got back to Tennessee Jame got sick again but I wasn't around him very much as I was sick, that is about all on him.

BURRVILLE, TN

The following is from the book, "A History of Morgan County Tennessee" written by Ethel Freytag and Glenna Kreis Ott.

BURRVILLE

This community was originally called Mount Vernon and its settlement dates back to about
1830. At that time settlers from North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky came in and obtained
one thousand acre grants from the state. Among these early settlers were John GALLOWAY
and James PETERS; who took grants joining and covering what is now the community of
Burrville. The ten children of the Peter's and Galloway's married and settled near their
homes. Other families came in and the settlement grew. Some of these older settlers were:
THORTON, JONES, HULL, DAVIS, CROMWELL, HURT, McCORMICK, JOHNSON and ALEXANDER.

Probably about 1860, the Mount Vernon Methodist Church was organized and a log church was
built on the site of the present church. The first grave in the cemetery was that of the child
of Mr. and Mrs. William DAVIDSON, who was buried during the Civil War. The first Sunday
School was organized about 1881 by Mrs. Phenie BABCOCK. In the early days the church
services were held when the circuit rider, who had many churches widely scattered, would
arrange to come. Among those early preachers were Rev. A. B. WRIGHT and Rev. A.C.
PETERS. They were identified with the early church work at Burriville.

The people of the Burrville Community have always stood for education and progress as is
shown by the oustanding educational institution. Students came from all parts of the county
to the A.B. WRIGHT Institute in 1900.

The first post office was established in 1881 with Charles SKEEN of Scotland as postmaster
and the post office was named Skeen. Later it was named Burrville [The people of Burrville
wanted to name the post office Mount Vernon but found there was already a Mount Vernon
post office in Tennessee]. The mail was carried on horseback from Sunbright once a week.

About 1895, James GREER opened a general store in Burrville.

A 1919-1920 school bulletin gives the following description of Burrville:

"Burrville is a prosperous county town on a good pike west of Sunbright. It was at one time
the seat of the A. B. Wright Institute named in memory of Rev. A.B. WRIGHT, a faithful
minister of the gospel, who spent his life in the Master's service throughout the mountain
sections of Tennessee and Kentucky. Rev. A.C. PETERS, a citizen of Burrville and a minister
for forty years or more did more perhaps in his day than any other person for the upbuilding
of the church and school at this place. There is a splendid school building large and well
furnished. The present high school being established the latter part of the last year, is in the
infancy but we have great hopes for its prosperity with the support of the excellent people of
this community who have so faithfully stood by the schools of past years".

Burrville is still a small country town. It has an elementary school of 123 pupils and 4
teachers. Two churches - the Methodist and the Church of the Nazarene are located in this
town. Burrville has a post office. Merchants licenses were issued this year to: Chasteen's
Store, Ashley Store, E.D. McCURRY, one beer license was issued to Ernest FROGG.

James married Reba Oneida GOFF on 01 Jun 1941 in Morgan, Tennessee, USA. Reba was born on 10 Dec 1913 in Oakdale,Morgan, TN. USA/Morgan, Tennessee, USA; died on 05 Sep 1976 in Chattanooga, Hamilton, Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

~~~~~~~`
Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mercer County, was founded in 1774 by a stalwart band of pioneers led by James Harrod, of Pennsylvania. It was the only "colonial" city and the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains. Referred to as the "Birthplace of the West," Harrodsburg has a proud and remarkable heritage. From here the pioneers filtered through - conquering the wilderness and going on to populate and settle the rest of the Western frontier. Harrodsburg was first the county seat of Fincastle County, Virginia then Kentucky County Virginia. When Kentucky County was divided into the counties of Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln, Harrodsburg was the county seat of Lincoln County, which at that time covered over a third of the soon to be state. In 1785 Mercer County was taken from Lincoln and Harrodsburg has remained the county seat of Mercer County. The Kentucky territory became a state in 1792.

Rebecca Worthley wrote the following on 3 June 2010. about the period before 1958...I remember Pop Chasteen so very well. My mother (Violet Young) worked for him and helped take care of Mrs. Ida. He would go out and sit on the back porch while we cleaned the house for him on Saturdays and do his laundry. Mother would always take Sharon, Virginia and me (Rebecca) with her. Even after Mrs. Ida passed away we still did his chores for Pop. He was a good man with a big heart.. When school came around he would help purchase our clothing for school. I remember one year, he bought me a white fleece coat, black dress with beautiful round polka-dot colors of red, yellow, white, and blue in the dress and a beautiful pain of oxford shoes to wear. I felt like a million dollars when I went to Church that Sunday. Years passed and I graduated from High School and he gave me a Bolivia Watch for graduation. He passed soon after that. I went on to finish college at Trevecca Nazarene College in Nashville, IN He did for all of us children the same. He would tell Daddy "My Young" I will do what I can do to help you family. They always help Me.! Mother loved Mrs. Ida. She always said that she was one of the sweetest ladies that God ever put on this earth. Mother and Daddy thought there was no one like the Peter's. *Uncle John and Aunt Lizzie", my sister Sharon stayed with "Aunt Lizzie" for years after Uncle John passed away. I am currently trying to find out if anyone knows anything about James and when he went to Sunbright. We loved James and Reba very much. Brother Thomas worked for James in the store after school. He was so helpful for the family. You sure had a nice family. You will never know how much we love and miss them. Many blessings to you.Rebecca. Young

Notes:

TAP43, To: PAUL CHASTEEN, Subject: Ida Belle Phelps Hi Paul,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was in Hawaii and then had a minor medical problem that kept me off the computer. My GG Grandfather is Henry Fulp/Felps/Phelps (1799-1860). I now have evidence that suggests he was the son of second generation, Valentine Fulps. That would make him an uncle of 3rd generation Valentine(1780-1865) who was the father of Solomon(1835-1901) who was the father of Ida Belle(1876-1954). That would make us about 4th or 5th cousins? I don't have my family "Tree" on Ancestry.com but would like to share info. I am currently researching the European ancestry of Georg Fulp, our first American ancestor. You can best reach me at my email address: taphelps@comporium.net
Regards, Tom

Rev. Dr. J.A. Sawyer, one of our m ost distinguished lecturers, has just closed one of the most successful meetings we have witnessed here for many years. His sermons and lectures were sublime and our citizens feel very grateful toward him for his very earnest work. Miss Ida Phelps, one of Milledgeville's very best young ladies, was in the meeting and did excellent work from house to house. A Methodist church was organized with a membership of 25 or more.

Henry married Priscilla COLEMAN on 18 Oct 1879 in Kentucky. Priscilla (daughter of Basil White COLEMAN and Mary Frances DEDMAN) was born on 11 Nov 1846 in Mercer, Kentucky, USA; died on 1 May 1912 in Waynesburg, Lincoln, KY, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mrs. Priscilla Chasteen, beloved Wife of Henry Chasteen, fell asleep to awaken, some bright morning amidst that city that has of undations. Whose maker and builder is God. After a beautiful life of more than 65 years, like a golden sheaf of grain, came to its end May 1, 1912. She was born November 21, 1847, in Mercer county, where she resided most of her life. She was married October 18, 1879 to Henry Chasteen, of this county. To this Union was born one son, Raymond, who now resides in Indianapolis, Ind., and as the death came so suddenly, to the good woman, he was not able to be with her at the end. She was converted in her early life and joined the Baptist church and remained steadfast to the end. The Rev. James Edmiston, of Parksville preached the funeral amid The tears of the whole community. We wish we had room for the beautiful things that the pastor said of her at the sad, solemn hour. Culturned in intellect: refined with a most sympathetic and social nature loving music and flowers, practical housewife , delighting in the songs of Zion: and working for years in the Church and social life of her community until the last twelve or fourteen years which was prohibited by her bad health. Her long life of service and helpfullness has left fragrance among us and in the great day, many will rise up and call her blessed. So may peace be to her dust.
