Hardin County ideal for retirement location
Retirees of discerning tastes from across
the country are considering Tennessee as
a retirement destination.
In our friendly neighborhoods, Southern hospitality is more than an empty
cliche. Tennessee is a state where people
still smile at you on the street and you’re
never a stranger anywhere.
Newcomers often remark at how warm
the locals are and how openly they embrace new faces.
Tennessee is one of three states that
have launched a program that establishes
retirement migration as an economic
development strategy.
Retiree recruitment is a crucial component of many communities’ economic development strategies and this program focuses on bringing newcomers into our state.
In 2006, the Tennessee Department
of Economic and Community Development started a pilot program called Retire
Tennessee.
The Retire Tennessee program has
increased awareness, not only within
our own state, but throughout the United
States of the desirability as a retirement
destination and how retirees benefit the
community.
The purpose of this program is to facilitate local retiree recruitment strategies,
access readiness and desirability factors,
and to give technical assistance and expertise to counties that have the resources
and amenities for recruiting retirees.
“Retirees are especially attracted
to the rich history of our community,
availability of healthcare, and the many
educational and recreational opportunities. Approximately 17 percent of Hardin
County’s population is comprised of individuals over 65 years of age. Living in
Hardin County offers an affordable cost
of living, low taxes, low crime rate, and
quality medical care making it a retiree
paradise,” said Rachel Baker, Hardin
County tourism director.
The 14 official Retire Tennessee counties are: Cumberland, Franklin, Hamilton,
Hardin, Henry, Jefferson, Loudon, Maury,
Putnam, Robertson, Sullivan, Warren,
and White. Hardin County was chosen
as one of the nine pilot communities and
has remained in the program since the
inception.
Each community has conducted an inventory and assessment, started marketing
efforts to attract and relocate the retiree

market and are required to participate
in trade shows geared toward attracting
retirees.
The Ideal Living Resort & Retirement
expos help the Retire Tennessee program
reach the desirable demographics of our
target market. This is the only type show
in the nation that markets to retirees. The
shows that Retire Tennessee has chosen for
this year include: Melville (Long Island),
NY; Hanover (Newark), NJ; Chicago;
McLean (Metro-Washington DC), VA;
and Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA.
“The retirement market is ripe with
retirees deciding where to spend their
golden years, and Tennessee is in prime
position to attract those potential residents,” said Ramay Winchester, Retire
Tennessee program director. “Hardin
County was one of the pilot communities
and continues to work the program very
aggressively.”

David Cagle
Historian
T
he place that is now called
Savannah was not always so. This site of
an ancient Indian town was the first place
chosen in this area by Revolutionary War
veterans looking for good land to settle.
Colonel Joseph Hardin had 3000
acres surveyed here in 1786 as part payment for his participation in our war for
independence.
Surveying and registering his claim, it
would be 30 years before his land could
be occupied as it was part of the Cherokee
and Chickasaw nations.
Treaties in 1805/06, 1816 and 1818
opened the land for settlement and a
county named for Colonel Hardin was
formed in 1819.
In 1822 a county seat named Hardinsville was established near the geographic
center of the county at the confluence of
Boone and Turkey creeks.
After only three years at this location,
the powers that be realized that Hardinsville was not convenient to the Tennessee
River–the only real means of communications with the outside world. The county
petitioned the State of Tennessee to be
allowed to move the county seat to the
river, then a commission was appointed
to find a location.
The ancient Indian town was selected
which was by now called Rudd’s Ferry,
named after James Rudd who was officially allowed to keep a ferry there in
1821. This ferry served the Old Stage
Road, which extended from Chattanooga
to Memphis and connected the county

seats of all the Tennessee counties along
its southern border with Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
Hardinsville was moved to the east
bank of the Tennessee River at Rudd’s
Ferry and was located in the west center
of Colonel Hardin’s military grant. James
William Irwin Sr., who had purchased
the Hardin land from Colonel Joseph’s
heirs, gave 50 acres of land to the town
in return for a choice lot.
No sooner had the town of Hardinsville been approved for relocation when a
move was underfoot to change the name
of the town. Surely politics was involved.
James Hardin, son of Colonel Joseph,
headed the Hardin Party while David
Robinson headed the Robinson Party. It
is not lost on this writer that James Hardin
died in 1826 and that David Robinson
appears to be the person who wanted
to move the county seat west and when
that was done, to change the name from
Hardinsville to Savannah.
The small amount of information
known on the name change suggests
that David Robinson’s wife Elizabeth
may have chosen the name. Information
shows that Elizabeth was the daughter of
Absalom Hooper who owned land and
lived at the confluence of Long Creek
with the Savannah River about 135 miles
upstream of Savannah, Ga. Thus, the
town of Savannah was probably named
for its similarity to the Hooper home place
in South Carolina on the Savannah River.
David Robinson was a good businessman and apparently benefited by the
move to the Tennessee River. Family
tradition holds that the Robinsons lived
on what was later known as the J.I. Bell
farm, where Wal-Mart is located.
About 1830, David built himself a
new Town of Savannah residence that
is today known as the Cherry Mansion.
To his credit, some sources say that
David Robinson donated the lot for the
new courthouse. The name Hardinsville
was officially changed to Savannah about
1827. In 1829, the county government
was moved to the river where court first
met in the new town called “Savannah.”
Savannah slowly became populated
over the next 30 years with the westward movement of settlers. The Town of
Savannah contained 205 individuals in
1840, 252 in 1850. The year 1861 brought
something new to Savannah–Civil War.
Suddenly on the 17th day of March, all
eyes, at least in the western theater, were
focused on Savannah.

History buffs must tour Savannah Cemetery
Several famous individuals are buried
at Savannah Cemetery. Many Hardin
countians may not be aware of the fact,
but those interested in history may find it
interesting enough to visit the Savannah
Cemetery and view their gravestones.
Six of the well-known persons buried at
Savannah Cemetery are Bolden Rush Harrison, Mae Hall, Alex and Queen Haley,
Hank DeBerry and Elizabeth Patterson.
Keeping the cemetery mowed and
attractive is important for preservation
of the cemetery. Savannah Cemetery
has decoration day the third Sunday in
May each year. Someone is present at the
cemetery to take donations, or donations
may be mailed to Savannah Cemetery
Association, P.O. Box 491, Savannah,
TN 38372.

for actions during the Moro Uprising.
Harrison was one of a shore party moving
in to capture Mundang, on the island of
Basilan, Philippine Islands, on Sept. 24,
1911. Harrison responded to the calls
for help when the advance scout party
investigating a group of nipa huts close to
the trail, was suddenly taken under pointblank fire and rushed by approximately
20 enemy Moros attacking from inside the
huts and from other concealed positions.
Armed with a double-barreled shotgun,
Harrison concentrated his blasting fire on
the outlaws, destroying three of the Moros
and assisting in the rout of the remainder.
The Harrison-McGarity Bridge over the
Tennessee River in Savannah is named
for Harrison of Savannah and a veteran
from McNairy County.
Mae Hall was placed in the Florida
Shuffleboard Hall of Fame in the 1960s.
She was known in the special world of
competitive shuffleboard as the Babe
Didrikson of the game. In 1964, when she
was in her early 50s, Hall won eight of the
10 singles tournaments she entered and
was runner-up in the other two. Included
in her victories were the National Winter
Singles, for the seventh time, the Full
Moon Singles, the Masters and, for the
sixth time, the Florida State title.
In the late 1970s, Alex Haley, author
of “Roots,” began working on a second
historical novel based on another branch
of his family, traced through his grandmother Queen—the daughter of a black
slave woman and her white master. Queen
Haley, born in 1857, is buried in Savannah
Cemetery. After some earlier troubled
relationships, she moved to Savannah and
married Alex Haley, a widowed AfricanAmerican farmer who ran the ferry by the
Cherry Mansion in Savannah, who Alex
was later named for.
Queen was hired as a housemaid, by
a kind, old man, W.H. Cherry. While
Queen and Alex each had a son from a
previous relationship (Queen has Abner
and Alec has Henry), the two have a
third son together, named Simon. He
later became the father of writer Alex
Haley, the famed author of “Roots” and
of Queen’s life story.
John Herman “Hank” DeBerry (Dec.
29, 1894–Sept. 10, 1951) was an American
professional baseball player and scout.

Elizabeth Patterson (Nov. 22, 1874Jan. 31, 1966) was born in Savannah.
Her father, who had been a Confederate
soldier, was a judge in Hardin County.
She was educated in the county’s public
schools and at colleges in Pulaski and Columbia, where her participation in college
theatricals helped to form her interest in
drama. Patterson used a small inheritance
to move to Chicago, where she joined a
theatrical troupe. In 1913, she made her
Broadway debut in the play Everyman.
She remained active in New York City
theatre through 1954.
In 1926, at the age of 51, Patterson was
cast in her first movie, The Boy Friend.

of Divorcement; Tarnished Lady; Dinner
at Eight; High, Wide, and Handsome; Intruder in the Dust; Remember the Night;

In 1952, at the age of 77, Patterson
was cast as Mrs. Willoughby, the wife

peace who re-marries Lucy and Ricky
Ricardo in an episode of I Love Lucy. The
following year she was cast in the recurring role of Mrs. Trumbull, the lovable

Shiloh — a place of history
S
hiloh National Military Park preserves the site of the largest battle
of the 1862 Civil War campaign
for possession of the major railroad
of the western Confederacy and
military control of the lower Mississippi
River Valley.
The park, located on Tenn. 22 in northwest Hardin County, was established on
Dec. 27,1894, "in order that the armies of
the southwest which served in the civil war...
(would) have one of their memorable battles
preserved on the ground where they fought."
Initially administered by the War Department, Shiloh was consolidated into the National Park System in 1933. The Park Service
manages the battle field under the principles of
the 1916 Organic Act, which directs the agency
to preserve the nation's scenic, natural and
historic heritage, unimpaired, for the benefit
of present and future generations.
• The Battle
On April 6, 1862, 40,000 Union personnel
under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, were surprised
by Gen. Albert S. Johnston's Confederate
army of 44,000 men.
Bitter fighting engulfed the forest and
fields surrounding a small log church called
"Shiloh meeting house."
Night fall found Grant's army forced
back two miles and Johnston killed in action. Heavy Federal reinforcements arrived,
allowing Grant to counterattack on April 7.
The Confederates, now commanded by Gen.
P.T. Beauregard, were forced to abandon the
field and withdraw to Corinth, Miss.
The two-day carnage claimed 23,746 total
men recorded killed, wounded, or missing in
action.
• Shiloh Burials
Established in 1866, Shiloh National
Cemetery contains 1,227 known and 2,416
unknown Northern dead recovered from the
Shiloh battlefield and other wartime graves
along the lower Tennessee River Valley.
The cemetery also contains burials from
more recent U.S. military service, including
World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam.
Mass burial trenches located throughout
the battle field contain the majority of the
1,728 Confederate soldiers killed in action at
Shiloh. Five of these sites are marked today.
All were hastily prepared, due to health
concerns, by the victorious Union forces, who
remained encamped on the field for several
weeks after the battle.

General Ulysses Grant chose the
Cherry Mansion as his headquarters
while his army camped at Shiloh. This
invasion brought complete turmoil to the
local populace, but nothing to compare
with the events a few days later on April
6 and 7 when 100,000 men were trying
to kill each other.
Though only about four miles from
the fighting, Savannah was virtually un-
scathed by the Shiloh battle, and would
spend the rest of the war at the mercy of
which ever army had the most men there
at any given moment, never being in possession of either side for any length of time.
Savannah made it through the war and
the period of reconstruction then more or
less reverted to its pre-war way of doing
business, depending about 100 percent
on farming and taking advantage of their
communications through steamboat trade
with the outside world.
This pattern would remain the same for
the next 100 years with farming being the
prevalent occupation of the masses until
just after the Second World War.

Hardin County Fair to feature new carnival
This year’s Hardin County Agricultural Fair,
with the theme “Peace, Love and Fair” will
take place Sept. 16 through Sept. 21.
Though it is still months away, there
is a reason to be excited about this year’s
Hardin County Agricultural Fair.
New rides and games will be part of the
carnival as the previous producers, Crescent City Amusement, which hosted the
carnival for three years, will be replaced
by Meyers International Midways Inc.
The new carnival promises to be bigger and better than ever before, says fair
board member Shelia Bomar.
“We will have more rides. Last year we
had 12 and this year we will have 18,” she
said. “The rides will also be better than
last year.”
Meyers International hosts fair carnivals throughout the year in the states of
Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. Food
vendors will remain the same.
In addition to newer and better rides,
Bomar says the price to fair attendees
will go down.
“Instead of paying at the gate and then
buying a ride bracelet, you will just pay
an entry fee at the gate,” she said. “On
average it will cost less to go to the fair
this year.”
Bomar says the goal is to grow the
Hardin County Fair and make it more
profitable.
“We want to improve the overall
quality of the fair and the experience for
attendees,” she said. “We also would like
to make it profitable so we don’t have to
borrow money to start it up.”
This year’s Hardin County Agricultural
Fair, with the theme “Peace, Love and Fair”
will take place Sept. 16 through Sept. 21.
Exhibit building entries will be taken
as usual on Saturday, Sept. 14, beginning
at 8 a.m.
The beauty pageants with the exception
of Fairest of the Fair will be moved to the
morning of Saturday, Sept. 21. Fairest of
the Fair remains on Monday night.
Monday and Tuesday arena events will
be Ken-Tenn Pullers tractor and truck pull.
On Wednesday, “The King” Jerry
Lawler will be here with a group of
wrestlers.
Thursday will be the new day for Calvary Rodeo with the Demoltion Derby
coming both on Friday and Saturday.

Boating
Ray Garton
TWRA Wildlife Officer
Hardin County is blessed.
If hunting and fishing isn’t your thing,
you can always try boating. Pickwick
Lake and the Tennessee River( also
known as Kentucky Lake) both offer
excellent opportunities for water sports
or just lounging the day away. Hardin
County has approximately 10 river miles
of Pickwick Lake and approximately 47
miles of the Tennessee River that offer
areas for tubing, skiing, wake boarding,
sailing and even canoeing and kayaking.
There are three TWRA maintained
ramps along the Tennessee River
(Kentucky Lake). They are Savannah
Access off Highway 64, Cravens Access
just north of the city of Savannah,
and Saltillo Access off Highway 69 in
Saltillo. Wayne Jerrolds Park offers the
public a ramp which is maintained by
the City of Savannah. TVA maintains
a ramp just downstream from Pickwick
Dam. On the Pickwick side of the Dam,
Pickwick Landing State Park offers two
ramps while Bruton Branch State Park
also has a boat ramp. TWRA maintains
the state line boat ramp off Highway 57
south just before the Mississippi ttate
line. Now that you know where to get
on the water in Hardin County, let’s
move on to safety while on the water.
Before you head out on the water
make sure you check your safety
equipment on your vessel. Tennessee
state law requires that you have a Coast
Guard approved personal flotation
device (PFD) for every person on board.
The PFD or life jacket must be in good
and serviceable condition and must be
the appropriate size for the individual.

Continued from page 15
Speaking of life jackets, all children 12
years of age and younger MUST wear
their life jacket while the vessel is in
motion. This includes drifting and using
a trolling motor. If the boat is anchored,
moored or aground they do not have
to wear the jacket. Also all persons in a
boat must wear a PFD below Pickwick
Dam from the TVA ramp upstream
towards the dam.
Navigation lights are required if
you are operating your vessel between
sunset and sunrise and anytime during
restricted visibility such as fog or rain.
Personal water crafts (PWC), such as jet
skis and SeaDoos, cannot be operated
between sunset and sunrise and cannot be
operated by anyone under the age of 12.
Also everyone aboard a PWC must wear
a PFD. Other general requirements are
a type B fire extinguisher for all vessels
with enclosed fuel tanks or tanks that are
not easily removed; a type IV pfd is
required for all boats 16ft and longer. All
power and sail powered vessels are also
required to be registered prior to being
used on the water. If you have applied
for a registration for your boat and not
received the registration back, make
sure you have the receipt showing you
have applied for registration. Boaters
are also required to have a mirror or an
observer 12 years of age or older when
pulling a tube or skier.
Boat operators born after Jan. 1,
1989, must provide proof of completion
of a NASBLA approved Boater Safety
Course. Tennessee residents must take
the Tennessee Boaters Safety course
to meet the requirements. Lastly, it is
unlawful to operate any sail or powered
vessel while under the influence of
intoxicants or drugs. In Tennessee, any
vessel operator with a BAC of .08% or
higher is presumed under the influence
of alcohol. If you are going to drink,
designate a sober vessel operator same
as you would with a motor vehicle.
For more information on anything
related to boating, hunting and fishing
in Tennessee and Hardin County, visit
our website www.tnwildlife.org or call
the TWRA Region I office at 1-800372-3928. You can also report violations
and report boat accidents using the
same number. Please keep safety a
priority while enjoying the outdoors and
introduce a child to the outdoors.

Hardin County, a hunter’s paradise
Steven Graves
TWRA Wildlife Officer
Hardin County has lots of hunting
opportunities for big and small game
hunters. Every hunter’s responsibility
before considering hunting is to
carefully read the Hunting Guide which
is available in late August at big game
check stations and license agents or by
viewing it on the Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Agency (TWRA) website
at www.tnwildlife.org.
Remember,
every hunter born after Jan. 1, 1969,
must successfully complete the Hunter
Education Course and have proof of
it while afield.
In addition, hunters
must obtain the required licenses before
going afield. For example, a type 004
resident annual sportsman license
would cover all sport hunting, fishing,
and trapping opportunities except the
federal waterfowl stamp needed for
waterfowl hunting and is a great value at
$136.00. For non-residents, the annual
all game licenses type 073 covers all
game hunting except special season or
wildlife management areas(WMAs) and
federally required permits or stamps.
Please visit our website for more
information or call the Region 1 Office
at 1-800-372-3928. These licenses and
most hunting licenses can be purchased
locally at area license agents located
throughout Hardin County or may be
purchased via the TWRA web site www.
tnwildlife.org or by calling 1-888-8148972.
In regard to big game hunting
seasons,
the
Tennessee
Wildlife
Resources Commission will not meet
until later this year and decide on, for
example, bag limits, season, and checkin procedures. By August, hunters
should look forward to reading the
2013/14 Hunting Guide which will
provide all the essential information to
legally harvest game animals. The guide
will be available online at the TWRA
web site www.tnwidlife.org or hard
copies will be available at local big game
check-stations.
Hunters can take advantage of
several opportunities to hunt public
land in Hardin County. The TWRA
has a number of management areas
in Hardin County that exist solely
to provide hunting opportunities.
One of these is White Oak Wildlife
Management Area (WMA) which is
7,000 acres providing great small and
big game hunting; located in the north
west portion of Hardin County and best
known for its duck hunting. Another
area is Dry Creek WMA which is 4,000
acres located in the southeast portion of
Hardin County near the Alabama state
line. This area provides mainly big

near the town of Saltillo. The other
area is locally known as Dry Creek and
is located near the Dry Creek Wildlife
Management Area with part of the area
in Tennessee and the other in Alabama.

to travel far to get a quality education.
In the spring of 1998, Jackson State
Community College opened an extension center on 840 Pickwick Street in
Savannah.
Since then, it has helped local degreeseekers achieve their goals. The center is
approved by the Southern Association
of Colleges and allows students to earn
their associate’s degrees in general studies
while also offering pre-requisite courses in
anything from nursing to business.
This wide variety of courses also includes online classes that can be taken at
the student’s own time and convenience.
Distance learning classes are available and
are broadcast to the Savannah-Hardin
County center from other Jackson State
centers.
“We want students to have every opportunity to succeed with positive and new

TTC-Crump offers training for high demand jobs
The Tennessee Technology Center at
Crump (TTC-Crump) is the best kept
secret in the world, according to new
director Arrita Summers.
The center offers hands-on training in
13 programs including business systems
technology; collision repair technology;
computerized graphics design; computer information systems; drafting and
computer aided drafting technology;
electronics technology; heating, ventilation, AC and refrigeration technology;
health information technology; industrial
electricity; industrial maintenance technology; practical nursing; welding; and
machine tool technology.
Nursing is the most popular program.
It is the only one that starts in the fall.
Students can begin the other courses any
time they like.
It takes an average of one year for
a student to complete a program. The
classes are made up of theory learning
from textbooks coupled with half the
course consisting of hands-on training.
This hands-on training gives TTC-Crump
students an edge, says Summers.
Instructors at the center must have
a high school diploma or GED and at
Tennessee Technology Center at Crump is located at 3070 US 64.
least 3-5 years experience in the field.
With small classes and highly qualified
instructors that provide one-on-one
teaching, TTC-Crump gives students the
oppotunity to hone their skills.

they need. That one-on-one relationship

is priceless,” said Summers.
Yearly, the center must provide
documentation to the Tennessee Board
of Regents that proves they are keeping
the rigorous standards set by the board.
Each program is headed by a director
who consults an advisory committee that
keeps the programs up-to-date. Continually updated systems and equipment
contribute as well.
To be considered for these programs,
prospective students must be 18 years
