Willie Blount Historic Highway Marker, and turn left; Mt. Carmel is just around the corner! At noon, Rev. Dr. Von Unruh, the Tennessee Conference United Methodist Historian and Archivist will give a talk in the historic sanctuary of Mt. Carmel. He has transcribed and made extensive annotations to the five-volume set of diaries of Rev. J. W. Cullom, and the first of three projected volumes should be available to purchase at this event on 18 June. Warm Hearts and Saddlebags was the title of the abbreviated version published many years ago, that is now out of print; but this is the FULL transcription containing many more details and persons names. Dr. Unruh has meticulously researched each named person, and gives many interesting footnotes that will be of interest to historians and researchers for ages to come! He has added maps and pictures of persons and places where available. Both Sango United Methodist and Mt. Carmel United Methodist have members who descend from Rev. Cullom, who was assigned to the eleven-church circuit in 1866, after serving in the Confederacy. Twice assigned to Asbury Circuit in East Montgomery/West Cheatham; he was later assigned to the Montgomery Circuit around Dotsonville; and still later at the Sango church. Rev. Cullom mentions many Montgomery Countians, both in the County and the City of Clarksville. Rev. Dr. Unruh has carefully identified and located the farms of many of those named. These volumes of Warm Hearts and Saddlebags will provide many evenings of interesting reading. Get your lunch tickets in advance from President Kurt Bryant, kurt.bryant@gmail.com, John Head, or Cleo Hogan, (leave a message for a return call). 1

The finishing touches of the master-work-man, had just been given this elegant turn-out, every part of which shows the handy-work of skillful artisans in the different departments of the manufacture of pleasure vehicles. This homemade specimen was gotten up by Messrs. Baker & Bro., proficient in their line, and who are, beside being good workmen, citizens of whom we are proud.
