A word from The Rogersville Review editor

Thank you for viewing our 2025-26 Information Guide.

The Rogersville Review has published this guide annually since 2023 to serve as a source of information for anyone with an interest in Hawkins County — whether you be a visitor, a tourist, or perhaps someone thinking about making their home here. Or, naturally, if you already make your home here and simply need information, we’re glad to be of assistance.

Hawkins County is located in a beautiful part of Upper East Tennessee, filled with outdoor attractions and historical sites. Not only has this county been a part of three different states, it includes the second-oldest settled town in the state of Tennessee. The first newspaper and post office in Tennessee were both founded here.

The county is filled with friendly, hard-working people who are welcoming to both visitors and newcomers. As current Hawkins County Mayor Mark DeWitte said recently, “Aren’t we blessed to be able to live in a part of the country where citizens reach out and do what they can to help one another? Not only that, but community events also continue as much as possible, and the spirit of the people takes a lot to break.”

Between its citizens, existing resources, and its potential, Hawkins County has a bright future to go along with its proud past.

Whether it be establishing a new business, working for one of our established manufacturers or employers or coming here to retire, the citizens of Hawkins County are our greatest asset.

Hawkins County has a lot to offer and I hope this guide will be of much use to you and your family over the coming year. Whether you’re just passing through, or you’ve been here for all your life, I believe all of this information will be of great value to you.

Also a great deal of appreciation and thanks to our advertising partners and sponsors who make this Information Guide possible. Without their time and effort, this project to serve you would be next to impossible to pull off. Our doors at The Rogersville Review are always open and just like we have since 1885, we continue to be here for the needs of the citizens of Hawkins County.

If there’s ever anything myself or our staff can do to assist you, please let us know!

Sincerely, John Cate, Editor, The Rogersville Review

RICH HISTORY Hawkins County

Hawkins County is rich in local history heritage. Several locations to visit while in the area are listed below.

The Heritage Association of Rogersville and the Rogersville/ Hawkins County Chamber of Commerce have a pamphlet available of a walking tour of Rogersville.

ROGERSVILLE

Historic Rogersville, is one of the state’s oldest towns, was founded in 1775 by Joseph Rogers and settled by the grandparents of Davy Crockett. Whether you are a history buff or just enjoy the scenery, you are sure to be charmed by the architecture and brick side walks, lined with period lighting in the downtown district, which is on the National Register of Historic places.

Once a part of the famous Wilderness Road, Main Street is home to Federal-style buildings surrounding the town square, and has remained virtually intact since 1789.

Rogersville flourished due to its location on an important stage road that connected Atlanta to Washington, DC, with routes to Kentucky and the Cumberland settlements. As a result several inns and taverns were built here, including Rogers Tavern, at 205 South Rogers Street (1786). One guest who stayed

at the tavern was future President Andrew Jackson. Another Tavern that Jackson stayed at was McKinney’s Tavern, now named Hale Springs Inn.

Rogersville has had an illustrious history, reflected both in brilliant statesmen and businessmen and in its many productive industries. Today it reflects its gracious past in its homes and buildings and in the cordial manner of its citizens.

HALE SPRINGS INN

The inn was built in 1824 and was the oldest continuously-operated inn in Tennessee. It is one of the contributing properties in the Rogersville Historic district.

John McKinney, a local lawyer and businessman, built the inn in 1824-25. He built it in order to compete with Rogers’ Tavern, which was operated by the founder of Rogersville, Joseph Rogers.

McKinney constructed a massive, three-story Federal style building that housed a tavern and guestrooms. McKinney’s plan was to build a larger, brick inn directly on the road to compete with both of Rogers’ buildings. In 1823, he began construction on a massive, threestory, Federal style building that would house facilities for a true tavern bar, but also individual guest rooms on the different floors. The

building also featured an impressive balcony over its door that would feature prominently later in its history. Noted guest to the inn during the 19th century were U.S. Presidents Andrew Johnson, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson.

During the American Civil War when the Union forces captured the town, they used the inn as their headquarters. Ironically when the Confederacy retook Rogersville during the battle of Big Creek in 1863, they used the Kyle House as their headquarters, which was across the street from the inn.

In 1998, then owner Carl Netherland Brown closed the inn and at the time the inn was Tennessee’s oldest continuously operating inn. The Rogersville Heritage Association purchased the inn in May 2003 The organization was able to receive through the Town of Rogersville the first of two federal grants for restoration. Work began in 2007 and was interrupted by a partial collapse of the 1880 addition on the back of

the building. The inn was finished and opened on August 2009 which renovation cost exceeding 2.1 million. Hale Springs Inn is located at 110 W. Main St.

CROCKETT SPRING PARK

David Crockett and his wife, Elizabeth Hedge Crockett received a 281 acre land grant and built a log cabin near a large spring. It became known as Crockett Spring. It is now home to Crocket Spring Park and Arboretum. It is the centerpiece of the downtown Rogersville area. In September of 2013 the Certified Tennessee Arboretum was dedicated and features 36 varieties of trees. It is the perfect location for pictures, weddings, picnics or strolls. The park features a gazebo which can be rented for special occasions. For more information, call the Rogersville Heritage Association at 423-2721961. www.rogersvilleheritage.org/

Crockett Spring Park is located in the historic downtown area at 200 Crockett St.

JOSEPH ROGERS TAVERN

In 1786, Joseph Rogers built an inn on what is now 205 S. Rogers St. The original log-and-stone structure is now under clapboard siding.

Legend tells about an early visitor to Rogers Tavern. One day, a stranger came to the inn and asked for a room. The landlady showed him a room that he could share with two other gentlemen. The stranger proceeded to make disparaging remarks about a town that could not offer a gentleman a private room. Another guest at the inn overheard the remarks and seized the stranger by the arm ushering the stranger to the corncrib out back and threw him in. Once locked inside, the stranger was asked if he was willing to apologize and accept the first-offered room. He agreed. The guest who requested the apology was none other than Andrew Jackson.

THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF AN EARLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN COLLEGE

Swift Memorial College complex is a restored building that now serves as memorial museum and warm, accommodating public gathering space and is all that remains of the sprawling institution. This is the story below as copied from their website, swiftmuseum.org.

In East Tennessee, at the close of

the Civil War, the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America found itself somewhat adrift and disorganized. In taking its bearings and considering its re-organization in 1863, it discovered that it had a new factor to deal with in taking up anew the work of the Master. That new factor was the newly-emancipated Freedmen. The change of affairs and relations which had been produced in their condition before the war, made it necessary for the Church to reconsider them in its re-organization and rehabilitation, and to determine not only its attitude toward them, but what they would do with them and for them.

It began the organization of Presbyterian Churches and parochial schools among the Freedmen, and threw open the doors of Maryville College for their higher education. The churches and schools grew and prospered to such an extent, and the local conditions became such that it was soon manifest the Maryville College did not and would not do the work which was needed to be done, and that something else should be done to relieve the situation. The conclusion was reached that another school similar to Maryville College should be established somewhere for the benefit of the Freedmen. In canvassing the situation, it was thought by those most prominent and interested in the matter, that Rogersville, was the place for the school. For the founding and propagation of the school, the providence of God pointed to Mr. W. H. Franklin, of Knoxville, a student of Maryville College. Mr. Franklin graduated from Maryville College

in 1880. In 1883, he completed his theological course at Lane, and in June of the same year, entered upon the work to which he was chosen. In September, 1883, he began the work of teaching in a rough and open frame building which was made possible by underpinning and putting newspapers on the unplastered walls. The school grew from that small beginning through the most strenuous, persistent and bitter opposition, until it has become favorably and widely known as Swift Memorial College. The success of the work has been due to the fact that God was in the work; labor, faith and prayers behind it; the help of a great Church beneath it, and the pressing need of a great race before it.

The Board of Missions for Freedmen, desiring to honor a great and good man, and true friend of the race, suggested that the school be called Swift Memorial Institute, in memory of the Rev. E. E. Swift, D.D., who was for many years, the beloved pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Allegheny, and the esteemed President of the Freedmen’s Board at his death.

The objective of the school were to give colored youth a solid education in arts and sciences, to train and prepare them for domestic duties and the practical business of life, to equip and prepare efficient and suitable teachers for the public and other schools, and to make good, intelligent citizens and to provide Christian workers for the duties and requirements of the church.

The College consisted of three buildings situated on six acres, more or less, for the accommodation of its students. The main building was

a modern brick building of three stories. It is an attractive building, and is used as a dormitory for girls, class rooms, domestic and general purposes. The rooms for young ladies were large, comfortable, well lighted and ventilated. They were provided with all necessary furniture, including bedding. The boy’s building was also a brick structure. It had three stories and an attic for dormitory purposes. Provisions were made for students to do their own laundry work in both buildings. Park Cottage is a small frame building, situated between the two buildings above and is used for the accommodations of little girls. A limited number of small girls can be accommodated and cared for in it.

The Swift Museum is located at 203 W. Spring St.

TENNESSEE NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING MUSEUM

In the year 1791, George Roulstone, the first printer to enter the State of Tennessee, took his press apart in Fayetteville, North Carolina, packed it on horses’ back or in wagons and trekked over the trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Holston Valley where Kingsport now stands. There, on the banks of the Holston River at James King’s Boat Yard, he loaded it on a flatboat and floated it down to Rogersville where he set it up and started printing the Knoxville Gazette, the first piece of printing ever attempted in Tennessee. In crossing over the valley to reach the river, Roulstone passed over the

spot where the Kingsport Press, once the largest book producing plant in the world, would one day operate. And when he finally got to Rogersville and started his hand press, he was within fifteen miles of the future site of Pressman’s Home, the home of the International Pressman and Assistants’ Union in the early 20th century.

Roulstone and his partner, Robert Ferguson, published the first issue of the Knoxville Gazette on Nov. 5, 1791. Roulstone remained in Rogersville until October 1792.

Rogersville City School was originally the site of the Rogersville Syndical College (1850), a private Presbyterian School for women. The building burned down in 1920 and the Rogersville Grammar & High School was erected. The oldest part of the building was built after a fire destroyed the original school in 1928. The large boxwoods remaining in the front yard are more than 150 years old.

CHURCH HILL

Church Hill was established as a trading post and stagecoach stop called Spencer’s Mill and Patterson Mill in the late 18th century. It obtained it’s name following the establishment of a Methodist church on a hill overlooking the Holston River valley, which still stands today on Grandview St. Church Hill was incorporated in 1958.

Church Hill is located 19.1 miles from Rogersville.

A number of locations are on the Tennessee Historical Commission Historic Markers list. They are as follows: Carter’s Store, Patterson’s Mill, Rice’s Mill, Smith Place.

AMIS HOUSE

The Pressmen’s Home became a self sufficient town by adding larger and more elaborate facilities. as the union grew. It even provided it’s own electricity. The locations building included administration buildings, the home building, a Tuberculosis sanitorium, Hotel Pressuaina, Memorial Chapel and a trade school.

In the mid-1960s, the U.S. federal government was lobbied by competing union that the rural East Tennessee location of the union was a determent to the interest of the union. The headquarters was moved in 1967 due to lack of funding and merger with other printing union. The home was closed in 1969 after providing retirement facilities for union members.

Over the years there has been attempts to revive the site, which included a tourist resort, retirement community and even a state penitentiary. In the 1970s, an investment group partially redeveloped the site into a resort with

tracts of land set aside for vacation homes. A golf course and country club are the only active projects. Many of the original buildings are in disrepair or have been demolished.

The Pressman’s Home is now a ghost town to a by gone era. It is located 11.6 miles from Rogersville.

CHURCH HILL The history of

BY RODNEY FERRELL

History rich Church Hill is one of Hawkins County’s oldest and largest communities. There were settlers in that region as early as 1754 and a trading post was officially established there in 1769 by long hunters Robert Lucas, William Parker and John Carter. The large log structure was known as Carter’s Store and was located near present day New Canton. In the beginning there was a brief controversy; previous fur traders who had traded with the native Indian tribes for years claimed that Carter and Parker had stolen their business.

After a long sojourn across the wild frontier the trading post was a beacon of hope and safety to the early settlers who poured into the area seeking land they could home stead. But tribes like the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek and Chickamauga did not want to give up their ancient hunting grounds to these invading white strangers. Incidentally Native Americans had existed in Hawkins County for many centuries.

When early explorers arrived in the area in the late 1600’s they found the remains of an ancient civilization long since vanished. In 1971 the Kingsport Chapter of the Tennessee Archeological Society excavated a large Yuchi

Indian village in Church Hill containing over 600 burials.

At the time the site was considered a major Tennessee archeological find. Many of the artifacts from the dig are on display in museums all over the country. Just a few years after it was established, Carter’s Store was pillaged and burned during a Shawnee Indian raid.

The proprietors who narrowly escaped with their lives, decided not to rebuild. In 1775 Robert Patterson built a mill on Fall Creek and a few miles to the west Henry Rice also built a mill. Both structures also served as forts and were protected by large log palisades. It was here that many early settlers sought protection from the frequent Indian raids that occurred in that era. Back then present day Church Hill and the area surrounding it was known as Washington County. The first official census was conducted at these two Mill forts in 1777.

Besides being a safe haven, the mills provided the service of grinding the early settler’s grains and it was also a social center where people caught up on the latest news and events. Patterson’s Mill survived into the twentieth century and was in the process of being placed on the National Register of

The history of

The historic town of Bulls Gap was made notable by the legendary county comedian, Archie Campbell. The town was named for the famous gunsmith John Bull, who had received a 55 acre North Carolina land grant on Bays Mountain in the 1700s. Bull establish the first stage line in the area.

The town was also called Rogersville Junction and became an important location for railroad transportation. In 1858, the first tracks in

Historic Places when it was burned to the ground by vandals in October 1975.

In 1795, a post office was established at New Canton, one of the county’s oldest and largest African American communities. Shortly after the Revolutionary War Joseph McMinn a future governor of Tennessee settled a few miles to the north in the “New Market” community. Church Hill officially received its name in 1840 when according to oral tradition it was named for a Methodist church built on a hill in the community.

That same year Eldridge Hord built a large mansion and grist mill near New Canton. In the late 1800’s the isolated community of Church Hill began to grow into a small town with several successful businesses.

At the turn of the 20th century, a popular summer resort was operated at Silver Lake the present day site of the Landings apartment complex. The Holston Ordinance was developed in Church Hill in 1942 to produce the powerful explosive RDX which played a very important role in the outcome of the war.

The secrecy surrounding the plant led to unfounded rumors of espionage. Shortly after World War II a large two story house on Main Street in Church Hill inspired the bestselling

BULLS GAP

the area to create a rail line from Bristol and Knoxville were laid by the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad, using slave labor. Due to adverse conditions of mud and water, combined with financial problems caused by a panic in 1857, it took over a year to build the last 130 miles of track. The rail line was finished in 1857, connecting the ET&V line with the East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad. This created a route from Bristol, Tennessee,

novel “The Reverend Spy” by David Denton. Tradition has it that the infamous communist spy couple the Rosenberg’s once stayed there.

In the late 1950s, long time resident Lee Stroupe initiated the incorporation of Church Hill following the path of towns like Bulls Gap and Surgoinsville. The issue began when many residents wanted sewer services. But the first attempt by the Ruritan Club to set up a board of mayor and alderman failed to get the majority vote.

In 1957, a group of concerned citizens appointed Mr. Stroupe to head a ways and means committee that would eventually bring the issue to vote. The incorporation finally passed in 1958 by a vote of 214 to 103 and Stroupe was appointed the first mayor. Through the years the municipality has developed a strong city government. Today over 200 years after it began as a small frontier settlement, Church Hill is the County’s largest town. It is also a community steeped in history that continues to grow with leaps and bounds into the 21st Century.

to Atlanta, Georgia, with connections to Washington, D.C., Knoxville, Memphis, Augusta and Charleston. Plans were made to create a rail line to Rogersville, but due to the Civil War, the line was not built.

During the Civil War because of the rail lines, Bulls Gap became a fortified town from 1863 through 1865, with both sides fighting for control. In November 1865, Major General John C. Breckinridge sought to secure food

and forage and drive the federals from East Tennessee, coming from Virginia into an area outside of Jonesborough. Brigadier General Alvan C. Gillem, commanding a federal force, had marched beyond Greeneville. In order to protect the rail lines to Knoxville, troops fell back to an area east-southeast of Whitesburg. The Confederate forces launched an attack the morning of November 1, but by 11 a.m. were

POST REFLECTIVE NUMBERS

To ease the difficulty of tracking down a house or business, the 911 program requests that 4-inch reflective house numbers be placed where they can be seen easily from the road.

Suggested locations are on a house, on a mailbox or on a post next to the driveway. A 911 address must be obtained by all newcomers, or families who move from one residence to another, before having telephone service installed.

held back. For the next week, the two forces launched attacks with little ground gained. On the evening of November 13, the Union forces pulled back to Russellville, being short on ammunition and rations. The next morning, Breckingridge pursued the Union forces and drove them all the way to outside of Knoxville. The Confederates retained possession of the Bulls Gap area.

After the Civil War, the damaged railroad and Bulls Gap began a period of reconstruction. The originally planned Rogersville connection was finally realized and was completed in

1870 by The Rogersville & Jefferson Railroad. This helped Bulls Gap to prosper and grow.

In a 1887 publication of Goodspeed’s History of East Tennessee, the writer stated that Bulls Gap had “two churches, a good school, four stores and a hotel.”

Rogersville Junction was renamed Bulls Gap at the request of the community, when the Bays Mount post office, which was originally built a mile and a half from the current town, moved to the town. Around the turn of the century, the rail lines through Bulls Gap became the Southern Railway system. In 1912, a Bulls Gap Board of Trade noted that

population was more than 1,200 and that some 14 passenger trains passed through the town daily.

The historic district is home to 48 buildings and eight structures located along South Main Street. There are 22 residence, two churches, 10 commercial buildings and 14 outbuilding comprising the district. The Gilly’s Hotel, along with the adjoining Smith Hotel, are located next to the railroad track and were donated to the The Railroad Museum in 2003. The museum has made small repairs to maintain the builds in hopes of being able to restore them at some point.

Following are some locations to see while you are in the area.

The Archie Campbell Museum and Homeplace complex located at 139 S. Main Street. The house was originally located on Highway 11E in Greene County.

The Methodist Church, established in 1883, is located at 113 Church St.

A Walk Through Time ROGERSVILLE

As treaties were made with Indian tribes and land companies opened vast tracts of land west of the Appalachian Mountains, an increasing flood of settlers moved into the western country of North Carolina and Virginia. General settlement of what is now Hawkins County began in the late 1760s and early 1770s. Following the Revolutionary War in 1784, North Carolina ceded leaving the scene of an accident western lands to the United State Government to help pay for leaving the scene of an accident share of the war debt. Soon after, a convention of delegates from Washington, Greene and Sullivan counties met to form a new state, Franklin. But North Carolina then repealed leaving the scene of an accident law and reclaimed leaving the scene of an accident Western lands. The State of Franklin existed in opposition to North Carolina’s claim until

1788 when it finally collapsed and the area submitted once again to the rule of North Carolina.

In 1787, Hawkins County, North Carolina, was created by the North Carolina legislature. County commissioners voted to locate the county seat at Joseph Rogers’ place on Crockett Creek. A combination courthouse and jail were built where the old Presbyterian Cemetery now stands, and the community was known as Hawkins Court House.

In 1790, North Carolina again ceded its western lands, including Hawkins County, to the United States.

James White’s Fort in present day Knoxville became the territorial capital, and Tennessee became the 16th state in 1796.

Rogersville’s founder, Joseph Rogers, was born in 1764 in Tyrone County, Ireland. He immigrated to the United States in 1781 and came south to this area where he found work at the plantation of Thomas Amis, located on Big Creek, just east of the present town of Rogersville. In 1786, Rogers eloped with Mary, Amis’ 16-year old daughter. Relations between Thomas Amis and his son-in-law, Rogers, were never cordial.

In 1786, Rogers purchased a 281-acre tract of land from Robert Crockett (David Crockett’s uncle) following the death of Robert Crockett’s parents (David Crockett’s grandparents) in an Indian attack at the site of Crockett Spring Park. That piece of land was the site of the

soon-to-be established town of Rogersville. In 1789, the North Carolina legislature passed a bill, which was presented by Joseph Rogers and his partner, James Hagan, to change the name of the town from Hawkins Court House to Rogersville. Thomas Amis was one of the surveyors who laid out the 30-acre town on Rogers’ land.

Hawkins County was a great thoroughfare as settlers bound for Kentucky and middle Tennessee made their way through the area following the Holston River and the great Wilderness Road through Cumberland Gap into Kentucky. With the traffic came new settlers and trade for the Inns in Rogersville.

Joseph Rogers built his first tavern and Inn on present-day Rogers Street in 1786. In the 1820s, Rogersville’s Absolom Kyle stated a stagecoach line from Bristol to Knoxville, and the Atlanta to Washington stagecoach line also passed through the town. In 1827, attorney and landowner John McKinney built what is now Hale Springs Inn.

George Roulston and Robert Ferguson printed the Knoxville Gazette, the first newspaper in the Territory South of the River Ohio here in 1791. In 1792, Roulston moved the press to Knoxville, the new capital of the territory. Rogersville’s Tennessee Newspaper and Printing Museum reflects the area’s long involvement with the printing industry. Sawmills and gristmills were an important factor in early industry. The marble industry began in Rogersville in the late 1830s. The unique pink and read marble quarried in the area was used in the Tennessee state house

and in the National Capital of Washington. Rogersville has had an illustrious career, Rogersville has had an illustrious history, reflected both in the brilliant statesmen and businessmen it has produced, and in hosting many productive industries. Today, it reflects a gracious past, picturesque homes and buildings, and the cordial manner of its citizens. It is a genial place to visit, and even more, a delightful place to call home.

The Heritage Association of Rogersville is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic buildings and historic areas in Rogersville, to the education of citizens about their heritage, and to work with the City of Rogersville and the Chamber of Commerce to improve the economic structure of Rogersville. They are located at 417 S. Depot St., Rogersville. For more information call 2721961, email rha@xtn.net or visit their website at www.rogersvilleheritage.org.

The History of The ROGERSVILLE REVIEW

Located in the “Cradle of Tennessee Journalism,” where the state’s first newspaper was printed by George Roulstone in 1791 — also the third newspaper west of the Appalachian Mountains — The Rogersville Review was founded by Will Robertson on July 23, 1885. Under its current names, as well as The Holston Review, it has remained the newspaper of record for Hawkins County and its communities for more than a century.

While the newspaper began as a weekly publication, today it is published twice weekly, as an e-edition on Wednesday and a printed edition on Saturday.

One of the newspaper’s most celebrated publishers was the late Eleanor Sheets, who passed away before The Review’s centennial celebration on July 18, 1985.

The Newport Plain Talk employed Eleanor and her husband, the late J. Fred Sheets, before they relocated to Rogersville in 1932 at the request of Major George L. Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union, which was headquartered in Hawkins County at that time.

Berry hired the Sheets, along with Spurgeon Akers, to manage The Review.

Though Akers left the paper soon afterward, it was in 1958 that Fred, who served as publisher and editor, passed away and left the paper to his widow.

THE SHEETS ERA

Eleanor became the new publisher and editor, and continued to publish The Review until her death.

A legendary character, among the first female publishers, Mrs. Sheets was widely recognized as a champion of her community.

During her years at The Review, she often campaigned for safer highways and is credited with having coined the phrase “Bloody 11W,” in the years before the

construction of four-lane “superhighway” U.S. 11W through Hawkins County.

Sheets’ keen publishing ability took her all the way to the White House in the 1960s, where she was the only female publisher among dozens of other members of the press to dine with President John F. Kennedy in the White House Dining Room. (Sheets is pictured above in a white hat, seated next to President Kennedy.)

Her columns were well read and bear rereading just for their construction and use of words, if not the content that offers readers today a glimpse of journalism in another era. Copies are available for perusing at The Review office, as well as on microfilm through the Hawkins County Library System.

It was Eleanor who also introduced one of the Southeast’s first African-American columnists, Beatrice Cope, who began writing for The Review at the height of the Segregation Era. Mrs. Cope continued writing for The Review until shortly before her death in the early 2000s.

Other popular columnists introduced by Sheets included the late “Snookie” Burns and the late Mildred Shortt, whose local viewpoints and stories were a popular read for many years.

It was also in Eleanor’s time that The Rogersville Review became the last such letterpress weekly newspaper in Tennessee.

In July 1981, a conversion was made to cold type, photocomposition, and other state-ofthe-art mechanical processes. And today, well the process is even more refined, with pages constructed on computers, sent electronically to the Greeneville Sun, where it is sent directly to a plate and then put on the press to print.

A TIME OF CHANGE

At the time of Eleanor’s death, her grandson, W. Andes Hoyt, who had served as associate editor, assumed the role of editor and

publisher.

In 1988, he and his sister, Lace Hoyt Stevens sold The Review to Jones Media, Inc., led by John M. Jones Sr., and his family, which includes the president of Hawkins County Publishers Inc., Gregg Jones.

Doug Morris was named publisher and editor on May 23, 1988, bringing 25 years of newspaper experience with him, having started as a reporter at the Morristown Daily Gazette-Mail.

Following Morris on October 15, 1990, Ellen M. Addison (Myatt) was named publisher. Myatt previously served as publisher of The Smyth County News, Marion, Virginia.

It was during Myatt’s tenure that The Review became a twice-weekly publication.

In 1997, Kevin Burcham, former advertising director for The Mountaineer in Waynesville, N.C. was named publisher and editor. During this time, The Review moved to 316 E. Main Street (pictured above), from it’s Washington Street location, where it had been since 1953.

On January 15, 2001, Bill Parsons was named publisher.

It was during his tenure that The Review converted to an all-mail delivery system.

On June 19, 2006, Ellen May Addison Myatt resumed leadership after serving nearly 10 years as publisher of The Business Journal for Tri-Cities Tennessee/Virginia, Blountville,

Tennessee.

On July 1, 2009, Jesse Lindsey was named editor and publisher of the newspaper.

During Lindsey’s time at The Review, a lifestyles publication Discover Hawkins County Magazine, was launched.

On November 11, 2013, Tommy Campbell was named editor and publisher, bringing more than 33 years of experience in publishing newspapers in Alabama and North Carolina.

THE FUTURE:

Through the years, The Rogersville Review has expanded its news coverage to include all Hawkins County communities, as well as coverage from events in neighboring Hancock and Grainger Counties.

Today, The Review publishes one print publication and an online e-Edition of its original newspaper, but also the Discover magazine series, Hawkins County Great Homesearch, and Hawkins County Marketplace.

The newspaper’s online presence also continues to grow, meeting the ever-changing needs of 21st Century journalism, with the establishment of the new, interactive website and online subscription service in 2014.

The Review also offers daily news updates and additional reader commentary on Facebook.

Holston Connect PROVIDES HIGH-

SPEED INTERNET TO COMMUNITY

In 2017, Holston Electric Cooperative (HEC) saw a need to provide advanced communication solutions, such as highspeed internet, phone and television programming, to customers in Hawkins and Hamblen counties. The plan was to install a broadband fiber network in the area. By developing HolstonConnect, they are able to provide internet, telephone and television programming to areas that were not provided for. Holstonconnect is a not-for-profit and wholly-owned subsidiary of HEC.

James Sandlin, general manager for Holston Electric, informed the Hawkins County Commission in 2017 that studies showed that 40 percent of the cooperative’s customers didn’t have access to high-speed internet services at their homes. Sandlin explained that a subsidiary called HolstonConnect had been formed to provide broadband services to Holston Electric’s Hawkins, Hamblen and Greene County territories. He said that phase I was to build a system-wide broadband service and plans were to have the building of the fiber optic cable broadband system

finished by 2023.

Sandlin said that HolstonConnect had 110 miles of “active plant” (working fiber optic lines), about 340 miles of main fiber optic lines in place and about 940 miles left to build. The pace of the construction depended on obtain grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and other resources available. He stated that fiber optic cable was being placed on Holston Electric power poles to build the backbone.

On Aug. 21, 2020, state officials awarded $5.5 million to HolstonConnect from a $61M in emergency broadband grants through the Tennessee Emergency Broadband Fund. The Tennessee Emergency Broadband Fund was created due to the necessity of providing high-speed broadband availability to all citizens due to the impact of COVID-19. With the closure of schools, the shift of working from home instead of a primary work location, and medical facilities closing made it necessary to provide high-speed broadband

internet to members of communities the ability to function equally in society in hard to reach areas. The funding was dedicated to providing the service to portions of Rogersville-North and the Pressman’s Home area and to a portion of the Persia area. In doing so more than 2,300 homes, businesses and industries were provided this needed service.

HolstonConnect connected more than 7,500 customers to the fiber optic broadband network by the start of 2021. The five-year fiber deployment was to be completed by the end of June 2021 two years ahead of schedule. Holston continued to pursue additional grants in order to include a FiberTo-The-Meter Smart Grid component. By implementing this element it would make

the big box providers ineligible for grant funds, thereby allowing high-speed internet to be available for the 40 percent of last-mile members.

What makes HolstonConnect different?

HolstonConnect improves the quality of high-speed internet for customers enabling them to engage in the online world. HolstonConnect offers ultra-fast upload, download and transfer data speeds. They are the first provider of a gig internet service to Hawkins County, with no data caps, and no throttling of upload speeds. They provide technical support, and consistent pricing for existing and new members. They improve the online experience for multiple users and devices operated by its members.

Close To Completion Hawkins and Hancock Counties

The kickoff event for the Hawkins and Hancock County Isaiah 117 House was held on May 22, 2023, at Rogersville Middle School. Founder Rhonda Paulson shared the history and mission of Isaiah 117 House, an organization dedicated to supporting children entering foster care.

Volunteers have begun a meaningful tradition of setting their alarms for 1:17 a.m. or p.m. each day to pause and pray—for the organization, its volunteers, children in DCS custody, caseworkers, foster families, and biological families. Community members are encouraged to join in this daily act of support.

A groundbreaking ceremony took place on March 12, 2023, in the Carters Valley community, marking the start of construction on the local Isaiah 117 House. The new home

is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with a ribbon cutting and grand opening anticipated in early 2026.

Construction is well underway and the house is now fully “dried in.” A few finishing touches remain, and the project is entering its home stretch. Soon, the community will be invited to help decorate by adopting a room. There are also many ways to get involved—whether as caregiving volunteers or support volunteers, every role makes a difference.

THE PURPOSE

When children are removed from their homes for their safety, they are often taken to the Department of Children’s Services (DCS) office to await foster placement—a process that can take several hours or even days. Many arrive frightened, hungry, and with little

more than the clothes on their backs.

Isaiah 117 House provides a warm, welcoming home where these children can wait in comfort. Caring volunteers offer clean clothes, snacks, toys, and cozy blankets, helping ease the fear and uncertainty of this difficult time. Meanwhile, DCS staff are able to complete the necessary paperwork and identify an appropriate foster home.

The organization also supports local DCS social workers and assists foster families with resources they may need to open their homes.

DONATIONS & INVOLVEMENT

Isaiah 117 House meets children’s needs—

HUMANE SOCIETY Helps Animals In Need

Hawkins County Humane Society is located at 5180 Highway 11W, Rogersville. The phone number is 423-272-6538, hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday, noon until 4 p.m.

The Hawkins County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter.

They are a 501(c)(3) organization that receives no government funding. Deductible donations enable the organization to care for more than 1500 homeless and unwanted dogs and cats each year, assists local

authorities with animal cruelty cases by providing veterinary care, special needs food and socialization to animals that are victims of cruelty and neglect, providing Humane Education to the public, including children at local schools and are dedicated to speaking up for homeless animals who cannot speak for themselves.

TO ADOPT A PET

• Knowledgeable staff in the Adoption Center will assist you in finding a dog or cat that is a good match. All adopted pets are

fully vetted, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and vet exam. When you adopt from the Hawkins County Humane Society, you are giving an unwanted pet a second chance at life.

LOST AND FOUND DATABASE

• In an effort to reunite lost pets with their owners, the Hawkins County Humane Society’s Adoption Center keeps an undated database of lost and found animals in Greene County. Call the Adoption Center if you have lost or found a pet.

whatever they may be—during those critical moments between removal and placement.

The organization now operates in 13 states and continues to grow.

PROGRAMS

• Because cost is often the biggest reason why pets are not spayed or neutered, the Hawkins County Humane Society offers spay/ neuter vouchers to pet owners of low-income as funds allow. Access to low cost spay/ neuter programs are available to all Hawkins County citizens.

SEVERAL VETERINARY CLINICS Are Open Here

The health needs of pets and livestock are met by more than a dozen veterinarians working at veterinary clinics in the community.
