MARYVILLE INDEX June 12, 1878
Wednesday, June 12, 1878



On Friday of last week, Anderson Lewis, an old colored man, while driving a

load of wood near Sweetwater, fell from the wagon and the wheels ran over his

head, killing him instantly; we learn from the Monroe Democrat.



Rockford Correspondence---Mr. John Foster and family left this place on the

3rd of this month, bound for Kansas, where he will make his future home, as I

understand.   W. Rockford, Tenn.  June 7, 1878.



The Friends have purchased the house and grounds formerly owned and occupied

by Mr. Roberson as a residence, and are to take immediate possession for the

purpose of a Preparatory and Normal School. We understand that the corps of

teachers is to be enlarged, and that the house, which is well adapted to the

purpose, is ro be refitted and repaired, and will be in order for the next

year. The school, which has been heretofore in the Friend’s Church is to

continue under the superintendence of Prof. B.S. Coppock, and will be a

thorough and first class institution.



Married, on the 5th inst., at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. H.H.

Morris, of McMinn Co., Mr. James L. Lowe, of Maryville, to Miss. Josie M.

Morris, by Rev. James A. Wallace of Sweetwater. We thought that James was

going down to Sweetwater rather frequently, but now we see through it. We

congratulate him that his “visits to his old home” were not in vain, and that

he will not be left to go through this life, a miserable, lonesome old

bachelor, with “No one to comfort him, No one to cheer, No one to keep him

straight, No one to fear.” May the happy couple have a never ending life of

peace and prosperity, proving to others that they had better go and do

likewise.
