from Dresden Enterprise Friday, July 31, 1903 In the case of the
Greenfield bank vs J. R. HEATH, judgement was given for the bank for
$140 and interests and costs. This case grew out of alleging
forgeries by John W. TILLMAN at Greenfield. TILLMAN fled the country
about a year ago, leaving a lot of papers in which it was charged he
had forged the names of various parties. In the HEATH case, Mr. HEATH
admitted he had signed a note for $140 with the said John W. TILLMAN
some years ago, payable to said bank, but that he never signed such a
note since that time. It seems from the evidence that after he signed
the note, when it came due Tillman got it from the bank and substituted
a new note, to which it is alleged he forged HEATH’s name, and this
operation was repeated each time the note came due until the
matter came to light and TILLMAN abscounded. The court held that HEATH
was liable.

Notes for John Washington (Child 5)
Info on John Washington family from Sue Wolverton. She writes: “I have
very fond memories of spending some time every summer in
Greenfield. I was always struck that we were immediately known
throughout the town as "Mr. John's" grandchildren from Michigan.
Of course, in retrospect, all we had to do was open our mouths to be
known! Everyone knew we were coming. But as a kid I was
flattered to be recognized by the man in the drugstore, the owner of
the corner BarBQue stand, etc. We would have huge picnics out in the
field beside Roscoe and Buelah's house on the farm with dozens of
people present. This would be at noon, in the heat of the
day! I do remember the Heat!”

Notes for William Andrew CAUDLE
William Andrew, besides being a farmer, at one time also ran a horse
breeding business. He had a very pretty stallion that a gentleman
from Mississippi wanted for his delivery hack. In fact, the
gentleman's desire for this stallion was so great that he traded 245
acres of virgin timberland in Mississippi (which included some old
plantation homes) for the stallion.
In December of 1916, after Estelle (born on November 14) was a
few weeks old, William Andrew and Millie with their family (the
exception was May who was then 16 years old and married to Jesse
Needham) started their adventure to Mississippi with 2 covered wagons.
The first night was spent in Atwood, Tennessee with Minnie and Alec
Galey (William Andrew's sister and brother-in-law). They reached
Medon, Tennessee on the 2nd or 3rd night where they became snowbound
with the first heavy snow of the season. A Mr. Taylor happened to
be present when they arrived in Medon and upon learning of their sad
state of affairs offered them the use of a vacant house that he owned
as he had just built and recently moved his family into a new home
located directly behind the old one.
They "camped out" in Mr. Taylor's vacant house, using the fireplace for
their cooking and their only source of heat. They kept getting
fresh snow and Ola (and probably several of the other kids) had a bout
of chicken pox so their departure was delayed for two weeks. At
Mr. Taylor's suggestion William Andrew leased a box car on the freight
train and put the 2 teams of horses and wagons into this box car and
sent along Robert and Boyd to care for the team and started them on
ahead while the rest of the family followed on a passenger train.
The passenger train arrived at their designation in Mississippi first
and the family stayed at the hotel and waited until the freight train,
teams and wagons with Robert and Boyd arrived.
After leaving the hotel they "camped out" (sleeping under the wagons)
at least one night in the middle of "bottom land" before reaching their
property. Millie often laughed years later saying as they
traveled along with their 2 covered wagons the people along the way
thought they were a bunch of gypsies traveling though.
Both J.B. and Inez were born while they were in Mississippi (Scott
County). Since Inez was born in May of 1921, the span of years
they lived in Mississippi was from December of 1916 until 1923.
The trees on the Mississippi property were again harvested in 1934 by
Boyd's family. Devon was born while they were there. The
property was eventually taken over by the state of Mississippi for
unpaid taxes.

Notes for John Washington HEATH
Info on John Washington family from Sue Wolverton. She writes: “I have
very fond memories of spending some time every summer in
Greenfield. I was always struck that we were immediately known
throughout the town as "Mr. John's" grandchildren from Michigan.
Of course, in retrospect, all we had to do was open our mouths to be
known! Everyone knew we were coming. But as a kid I was
flattered to be recognized by the man in the drugstore, the owner of
the corner BarBQue stand, etc. We would have huge picnics out in the
field beside Roscoe and Buelah's house on the farm with dozens of
people present. This would be at noon, in the heat of the
day! I do remember the Heat!”

Wade Hamilton CAMPBELL 2 Obituaries -- papers unknown...from Michael
Campbell
Wade Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Campbell, died at his home in
Fulton, Ky, Friday, Feb. 9th of typhoid fever. Wade was an excellent
young man with good habits. He was full of business and was
making quite a success in the Insurance business at Fulton. A few
years ago he married the daughter of Mr. A. G. Exum, formerly of Sharon
(Weakley County, TN), and their married lives were happy ones.
After fitting ceremonies his remains were interred at Fulton. After an
illness of two weeks from typhoid fever, W. H. Campbell died at his
home last Friday. For the past year Mr. Campbell has been writing
life insurance in Fulton. He was reared in Greenfield, Tenn., and
was 23 years old. He leaves a wife and child six months old.
OBITUARY
When the messenger of death passed over the city of Fulton and
claimed as his victim Bro. Wade H. Campbell re robbed the city of one
of her good citizens, his parents of a dutiful son, his wife of a
loving companion, his six months old babe of a doting father. With
mortal vision we cannot see why he was taken so early in life but we
know that our God who even numbereth the hairs of our head and allow
not that a sparrow should fall to the ground without His notice, doeth
all things well. Though the friendly ties have been broken and hears
which leaped for joy are now broken and sad, we know that with the
unfolding of the future we will fully understand, and in the beautiful
beyond, where kindred spirits meet, joy shall be reaped for sorrow.
Bro. Campbell was born in Weakley County, Tennessee Jan. 22, 1882,
married Miss Lula Exum April 1903, about one year after which he became
a citizen of Fulton, where he lived till death occurred Feb. 9, 1906.
Wade was a Christian and by the Spirit of the Master, which was
prominent in his life, he won for himself many friends, which was fully
demonstrated by the host which assembled for the funeral service at the
residence, which were conducted by the writer Feb. 10. By the
loving hands of his fraternal order, the Woodmen of the World, his
remains were laid to rest in the City Cemetery.

Goodspeed’s History of Tennessee
Enoch HEATH, M. D., was one of nine children born to Ryland and Anna
(Gilbert) Heath. The father was of Scotch-German descent and was
born in North Carolina in 1781. His parents dying when he
was young, he was reared by an aunt, who saw that he obtained a common
school education. He was married about 1810, and removed to
Tennessee; thence to Kentucky, where he resided until his demise in
1869. e was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was at the battle of New
Orleans. is wife was born in Georgia, in 1789, and died in old Kentucky
in 1872. Enoch Heath, after residing at home and being
educated in the common schools, began the study of medicine in 1858,
under the direction of Drs. Brazier, at Weston, Ky. A year later
he began taking lectures in Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated as an M. D.
from a medical institution in that city in 1860. June 9, of
the same year, he visited his first patient at Weston, Ky., and has
plied his profession ever since, meeting with good success.
In 1862 he came to Weakley County, Tenn., and located on
his farm of 125 acres, where he continued to reside and practice until
1876, with the exception of about two years spent in the Eleventh
District. January 13, 1863, he married Anna Hughes, born in
Weston, Ky., in 1841, by whom he has two children: John, an M. D. at
Greenfield, and Hattie. Mrs. Heath's father, Joseph Hughes, was born in
North Carolina, and the mother, Anna Hughes, in South Carolina. In 1876
Dr. Heath removed to Gleason, where he purchased a small tract of land
and soon built up a good practice. He served about six months in the
late war when ill health caused him to give up army life.
He is a Democrat and Mason, and he and wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
