Wearwood School in Wears Valley, Oct. 29, 1909 |
| The pretty 15 yr old girl on 4th row and second from the right is Myrtle
Tarwater, my grandmother or as we called her, Mama Crowson. The following
year she married William Walter Crowson on July 24, 1910. |

| I am not for sure which one is our Great Great Grandfather, Henry King.
He was the father of Grandma, Martha Louisa King Crowson. I remember her
saying when I was a child that she remembered her father fighting in the
civil war. Blanche Crowson was telling Laura and I that of four brothers in
the King family, three fought for the North and one fought for the South,
the only person in Wears Valley to fight for the South. |
