We spent the day in Sevierville. Our first stop was the courthouse. We always heard that my great--great--grandfather put the tin roof on top of the steeple..
We walked down the street to cousin Bon's hardware store..
Rose in front of the Dolly Parton statue in the courthouse yard
This is a quilt shop now, but it used to be my Grandfather's Men's clothing store and dry cleaners..
My Mother's family lived here when she was a young girl.
This is the house where my grandparents lived.
Then we went to Shiloh Cemetery
There was a beautiful holly tree at the cemetery and a beautiful girl posed under it...
This is where my ancestors are buried...the Nichols and the Murphys.
We visited the downtown square..
James Crawford Murphy was my great grandfather
B.W. Murphy was my grandfather
Rose took me to Mel's Diner for supper..
We had an old-fashioned hamburger and listened to the jukebox playing 50's songs.
After we left the diner, we went to the Sevierville Library where the DAR meeting was held.
I met my cousin Helen Murphy Allen at the DAR meeting. Rose thinks she looks a little like my mother....
When we left , the Sevierville streets were deserted and the courthouse was lit up
