Commissioners all agreed Britton was an exceptional clerk to the board. “You set the standard of clerk,” said commissioner Ted Owens. “I never called when you weren’t willing to help. You treated me just as equal as the others. You served all five commissioners.” Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson said at the Christmas party that Britton has been a remarkable clerk to the board. He said she handled all the clerk duties, but also took care of so many other details. “She has really set the standard,” said Gasperson. “Thank you for being all that and so much more.” Britton began working for the county as an administrative

She was promoted to clerk to the board in 2004 and was also named the assistant county manager and human resource officer. “It’s been a great opportunity to work with great Polk County employees and commissioners,” Britton said. “I’m proud of the accomplishments each of the boards have made. I’m going to miss all the employees who have grown to be my close friends.” “As ya’ll know, Anne Britton is heading to the house today,” said Polk County Manager Whitson. “We will miss you very much.” Whitson says in his opinion, Britton was the best clerk to the board in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties. “Her knowledge and expertise will be greatly missed,” said Whitson.

People wishing to help the William and Nancy Johnson family following a house fire over the weekend can do so by donating at First Citizen’s Bank locations in North Carolina. The Johnson house, located at 525 East Howard Street in Tryon caught fire last Saturday night, Dec. 11. Local fire departments contained the fire, but extensive damage was done to the interior and major repairs are needed. The Tryon Fire Department said the initial investigation
points to a space heater as the cause of the blaze. According to family member Sarah Miller, the Johnsons used to carry homeowner’s insurance but had to drop it recently after William Johnson lost his job. Miller said the Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross gave the Johnsons about $200 for food, but she said the family is in desperate need of money to repair the house. Donations can be made to the Nancy Johnson Fire Fund at any First Citizen’s Bank in North Carolina.

Chester Damron as Abraham Lincoln
Damron, Abraham Lincoln impressionist, comes to Tryon by Stella Young
On Saturday, Nov. 27, Chester Damron, renowned “Abraham Lincoln Impressionist,” appeared at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church for the worship service as well as the evening service. To the delight of his audience, he revealed a unique ability to bring “Abe Lincoln” to life. Damron has performed as “The Abraham Lincoln Impressionist” across the United States and in the far east for the past 36 years. Damron says one of his most memorable experiences was at the invitation of President Ronald Reagan’s administration to appear as “Abraham Lincoln” in an historical American musical Thanksgiving program at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, in November of 1983. In this production Damron appeared as the only amateur actor with 27 professional actors. Currently, Damron’s other
interests include the role of Uncle Dan with Aunt Carol in “The Story Hour,” presenting programs in the public and private sectors for school children and bringing the many-faceted qualities of “Abe Lincoln” to life. Damron, now living in North Carolina, has spent 15 years as a missionary in Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. There he served as a pastor, teacher, radio personality, college president, pilot and a Bible school director. For the last 25 years, Damron has served as hospital chaplain in Florida and in hospitals overseas. He now continues an active ministry in radio and personal appearances as “The Abraham Lincoln Impressionist” to bring to life this beloved president to both adults and children of all ages. You may contact Damron at chetdamron@mac.com or 269313-4200. – article submitted

Letter to the Editor
Correcting “The Dark Corner” facts To the Editor: My name is Beverly Plumley Powers. It has been quite a while since I wrote the column, “Back in Them Thar’ Hills.” This past year, I have been asked many questions about old stories that I wrote as well as others to which I have no answers yet. Thus, for the past several months, I have been doing serious writing and research again. A couple of years ago, I discovered that I made a mistake in the Feb. 2, 2003 article titled, “From a vacation spot to a working farm,” which was part of a series about the Gov. Benjamin Franklin Perry estate. I wrote that a person recounted she was told many years ago a Hamilton family purchased the Perry summer house. This person told me she believes W. M. and Susan Durham (known as William or Bill and Granny Sus) purchased the farm from the Hamiltons. That was incorrect. I should have gone to the Greenville County Courthouse and researched it for myself before publishing it. The truth is that Gov. Benjamin Franklin Perry sold many properties in Greenville County in the 1800s as B. F. Perry. B. F. sold Glencoe (presently located on Dug Hill Road) to Marcus Durham on Dec. 31, 1880 (Greenville County Register of Deeds, Page 184). Marcus Durham sold the house and property to his brother, William Durham, on Nov. 21, 1883 (Greenville County Register of Deeds, Page 789). When I wrote my columns, if I made mistakes and discovered
Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
them, I always acknowledged them. However, I wasn’t always wrong. I stated my ancestors were English, Scottish, Irish and Cherokee. I may be wrong about the Irish, but not about the others. There are experts that claim that the European ancestors of folks from Dark Corner only came from England. That is not true. The Campbell, Earl, Lindsey and Ross families definitely came from Scotland. Let me tell you two stories. I was told this story in the late 1970s by a gentleman in Tennessee who was researching the Campbell family history. The Campbells were famous, powerful, prosperous, whiskey makers in Scotland. Every time the king sent his soldiers to collect taxes from the Campbells, the Campbells shot them all. Finally, the king paid the Campbells to leave Scotland. There were Campbells in Dark Corner who were excellent moonshiners. I know someone who in his time was among the best, because he was an apprentice of Campbell. The Lindseys, I was always told were Scott-Irish. There were no Presbyterian churches in Dark Corner. Thus, it wouldn’t make sense for the Lindseys to be ScottIrish. They definitely came from Scotland. They were indentured servants. The Lindseys were only supposed to bring over the clothes on their backs, but they slipped the seeds for molasses cane in their shoes. When they arrived in this country, the Lindseys planted the cane. That is why we have molasses in this country. There are some Durhams who profess to be Scottish descendants even though Durham County is now in northeast England. Durham County borders Scotland. I have read that Durham County may have been part of Scotland at
one time. This may be the reason some Durhams say their Durham ancestors were Scottish. The Plumleys and Fishers were among the Dark Corner residents whose ancestors came from England. The Plumleys and Fishers were Quakers who came to Pennsylvania with William Penn in 1681. The Plumleys were from Plum Tree, England. When I was growing up, nobody would admit to being from Dark Corner. In the Tryon Daily Bulletin’s article, “It’s now fashionable to be from Dark Corner.” Which ran on May 10, 2002, I still stand by the Dark Corner border lines designated. These borders keep getting stretched. Not only is it fashionable to be from Dark Corner, but now there are those who say they are from “The Dark Corner.” It is like they are members of an elite society. I always thought I was a redneck from Little Dark Corner, but if they’re from “The Dark Corner,” I simply must be from “The Little Dark Corner.” Presently, I am revising the 2003 “Kings of the Mountains” series about the shooting deaths of Bill Durham and Jack Fisher by S.C. Gov. John Gary Evans’ constables. In the past several months, I have discovered interesting new facts. Also, I hope to contact and interview descendants of the constables involved in the shooting, as well as descendants of John Gary Evans and U.S. Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman (Pitchfork Ben). It’s amazing what one can discover about an 1895 incident. Life circumstances have offered me the time to write again. I’m glad that I’m being asked questions. It has motivated me to do what I love – reasearch and write. — Beverly Plumley Powers

According to the instructor and coordinator of the program, Dr. Darla Kleiner, in order to truly make a difference as a healthcare professional, one must be a part of a community and get involved in serving others.

giving an indication of the total number of birds in the circle that day. If observers live within a CBC circle, they may arrange in advance to count the birds at their feeders and submit that data to their compiler. CBC participants are organized into groups, or field parties, by the organizer or compiler of each count. Each field party covers a specific area of the 15mile diameter circle on a specific route. Everyone is welcome to participate, since compilers ar-
range field parties so that inexperienced observers are always out with seasoned CBC veterans. The local count is centered at the entrance to Lanke Lanier. Participants will be meeting Saturday, Dec. 18 at 8 a.m. in the Family Dollar parking lot on Hwy. 176 at the entrance to Lake Lanier. If you are interested in participating, contact Jerry Johnson at 828-899-8974 or by email at icbirds@windstream.net. – article submitted
