    • The Keltonburg Community
      The community of Keltonburg was undoubtedly named after James Kelton, the owner of the first business, a mill, established in 1875. Keltonburg developed much like Temperance Hall. A post office was built and named after Mr. Kelton, which operated from 1884 until 1908. Bethel Magness is among those who once owned thriving businesses in Keltonburg, which at one time had at least three stores, with the last store closing about 1981.

      Keltonburg had three churches, and, at one time, a two-year high school. A Baptist Church, Methodist Church and Church of Christ all have called Keltonburg home.

      Several Churches of Christ were organized throughout DeKalb County in the 1890's, many of which were formed by a man by the name of Jeff Boles, who moved to the Sink Creek area, just two miles west of Keltonburg, in 1889 from White County. Among the churches he organized was the the Keltonburg Church, which was established not far from the Bole's farm. The Bildad Baptist Church was established in 1809. It later became a Two-Seed Baptist in 1854; the last member died in 1992. The Methodist Church was organized in 1893 and is still active. Its cemetery has been used for many years as a community cemetery. A Missionary Baptist Church was established in the old Keltonburg store in 1983.

      Early settlers in the area were members of the Cantrell family and their in-laws, the Potter and Magness families.

      Much like other smaller communities, businesses dwindled away, as people migrated towards cities and towns. However, the area still has a Community Center and a very proud heritage. A store has been opened in recent years, and continues to do business.

    Sunday morning, October 20, 2013:

    Spoke to Aunt Pearl this morning about Pop & Uncle Pete in regards to their "troubles with the law"...

    Pop thought that if he could run one load of whiskey to Nashville, that would solve all of his financial problems as...

    This was in the early 1930's and he was living with his young family in Green Hill (DeKalb County) where he was cropping shares and hauled logs part-time. Can you imagine working the fields all day and then hauling logs to McMinnville, 10 miles away, all on foot and by mule? No wonder he thought this was an easier way to make a few dollars.

    Pop got caught. Aunt Pearl tells us that it took everything he had to avoid jail and he never did that again!

    Ma told me that Pop worked as a mechanic (probably during the 1930's). At some point, Pop began selling farm implements for the Sullivan Company of McMinnville and apparently did this through the early 1950's as I remember travelling with out in the country to call on his propests and customers...

    In 1941 Pop went to Detroit. He worked for Budd Wheel through the summer of 1945. On his return he bought the log house on North Warren and the family moved there from their residence on Towles Avenue.

    Then Pop buys a taxi which he ran until late 1949 - early 1950. It is at this juncture that Uncle Pete began a felon. Uncle Pete borrows the taxi from Pop and drives to Manchester and picks-up a lady(ies) for an evening of dancing and driking. Pete is "higher than a Georgia pine", crashes the car and kills a passenger. He is convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison in 1949 when he returns home about three years later...Pop got out of the taxi business.

    It is at this point that he works full-time for Sullivan. It was 1950 and I remember Pop bought a brand-new 1950 Plymouth, "Sea Mist Green" 4-door sedan as this was the car we travelled in when he called on his clients.

    He retired in the mid-1950's and spent his life fishing, whittling and guarding his realm from an old wood chair propped-up against the garage in the backyard...

    "The P. G. (Perry Green) Potter Home"
    Built in 1875-1876 in Dibrell, Warren County, Tennessee by Kitt Swingle for Perry Green Potter.

    First, he built a large two story house, then a store, barn and a blacksmith shop.

    Aunt Pearl provided this image and tells us that Ma & Pop lived in this house between 1935 to 1937. They then moved to the "Hennessee House" on Main Street (no longer there).

    Note: Kitt Zwingle was a 2nd cousin to Ma. Pop was a grandnephew of P.G. Potter and both of whom were named after their antecedent, "Perry Green Magness".

  • Notes 
    • Known to his siblings as, "Grundy". Mother mentioned that Pop played the fiddle until he broke a finger and never picked-up the fiddle again. It seems he played at barn dances...DAH

      Aunt Pearl tells us a different story about Pop's fiddle playing. Pop quit playing the fiddle at barn dances because he saw Ma dancing with another man...

      http://thehennesseefamily.com/getperson.php?personID=I2&tree=hennessee

      I need not mention his parsimony as the entire family remember Pop was "tighter than Dick's hat band" when it came to money. The other side was his generosity when he'd had a couple drinks...

      Aunt Pearl told me that Pop shared crops from Ralston before he began his sales career. It seems Ralston thought well of Pop. Aunt Pearl was surprized to find out that he and Pop were the same age.

      In 1941 Pop went to Detroit. He worked for Budd Wheel through the summer of 1943. In 1945 he bought the log house on North Warren Street and the family moved there from their residence on Towles Avenue.

    • 1930: Aunt Pearls tells us that the family lost their house to a fire after a visit to Granny Swindell. Pop thought it was arson by a man named, "Cantrell".

      1930: Familyh moves into the "Pitt Place" in Dibrell.

      1938: Moved to the "Sullivan House", then to town to the "Hennessee House" and then to the "McGregor House"...
