+ Early History of the Town of Oneida (Celebrating its
90th Year: 1917 - 2007)
# Oneida's charter was issued on March 22, 1917,
just eight days after the U.S. entered what
would later become known as World War I.
Despite the war, or rather because of it, Oneida
was pretty much of a boom town, due to the
demand for coal. The mines were going full bore,
and the town's three railroads -- the
Cincinnati-Southern, Tennessee and O&W -- were
all going strong because of the mining. The
trickle-down effect of that prosperity had a
positive effect on virtually every business in
and around Oneida.
+ Oneida's Mayors 1917 - 2007
# Lists the 19 men who have held the post of Mayor
of the Town of Oneida in the 90 years since its
incorporation
+ Jim Hamby of Brimstone: Without a Home, But Not Homeless
# He was a tall, lanky man who quietly roamed the
mountains of Brimstone, Emory and Coal Hill.
Except for a stint working for Ritter Lumber
Company, he never held a paying job. He was a
drifter . . . a man without a home, but he
wasn't homeless. This is the story of Jim Hamby.
+ In Memory of Mitchel Griffith
# On January 17, 1947, Mitchel set out from
Robbins riding a mule up the Brimstone Road so
he could cross the Brimstone Mountains at Hamby
Gap to get to Emory. Nightfall would come early
on this overcast, winter day and as he passed
houses up the Brimstone Road, he didn't tarry.
Mitchel's family at Emory didn't know when to
expect him home because when he left he said he
might be gone two months. They didn't know he
was on his way home. Several days passed before
word spread up and down Emory and Brimstone that
Mitchel was missing.
o Added the Summer 2007, Vol 18, No. 4
+ First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, 1882-2007
