                                   __________

My sister Betty Jean . . . 1947                         
Betty had just entered her freshman year at Lincoln Memorial University when this photo was taken.  She was with high school friends, and had a great time this first year.  Though she enjoyed her second year with friends and served as sorority president, by the end of this second year in 1950, she was ready to move on to the world of work, and to buy that first car, a two-tone blue 1952 Ford sedan.  She later splurged big-time and bought a white T-Bird convertible, which she drove very fast. Most of her years of  working life were spent as an administrative assistant to a division director at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  She quit work in the mid-1970's.  She has been an avid supporter and student of the Arts Center of Oak Ridge.  She was a founding member of the associated Arts Guild of Oak Ridge, which helped fund and support local artists and art education groups.  She traveled to Europe with her husband, and with her friends for many years.  She has three good friends from college days who are still her best  friends.  They meet and talk of old times quite often.


 My brother William Mims . 1952. . later called "Bill"
Mims in his first office in Knoxville.  He was age twenty-two, and was manager of a vacuum cleaner retail business. He was always the businessman. At age nine, our Uncle George set him up in his first business selling candy, chips, and drinks from a little snack booth at the plant.  During lunch and breaks, Mims would pull his cart among the workers who would easily pay a nickel for a candy bar. About this time, too, with the help of Grandmother Eubank, he started a stamp and coin collection, which eventually grew into his coin investment business.  He bought a store in a small town and lived for chances to speed away in the boat from his dock on the lake and have a day of fishing with Daddy or Uncle Jim, or any of his numerous friends.  But his fishing days were numbered.  As the investment business prospered, he opened an office in Knoxville, married, and had a beautiful daughter, Jennifer, a graduate of the Webb School and the University of Tennessee.  On June 6, 2000, he was at work in his office on an estate appraisal when he collapsed and died within the hour.  His widow Sheila managed the investment business for several years after Mims's death.

My brother George Swagerty . . . 1951
Influenced by the earlier Big-Band musicians, George played trumpet and drums in the high school marching band and orchestra.  He jazzed up weekends with a local dance band.  He was an honor student at Oak Ridge High School, a member of the National Honor Society.  He was proud to be a member of the University of Tennessee's Pride of the Southland Marching Band.  His senior year at UT he served as president of his fraternity, and was  an ROTC candidate. After earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UT, he was commissioned second Lieutenant, and did his military service in France.  His first job after military service was with Boeing Aircraft in Seattle.  After years of being away, he began to miss our family and home, and so he brought his family from the west back home to east Tennessee in 1962 to the country where his ancestral namesake had settled in 1783.  He had a great eye for good candid photos, and on the trip back home, took some excellent candid shots of his family and the landscapes. He managed a subsidiary manufacturing plant for a large furniture corporation located in Morristown, Tennessee.  George died in 2006. He is survived by his wife Beatrice, and two adult daughters, Lauren and Lisa.  Son Jeffrey died in 2001.

Fanny Swagerty Eubank  . . . 1890
William's mother, and our dear grandmother, at twenty-one.   During her young life she rode horses, read books, and reared children.  In her later years she wrote family histories, stories, and magazine features and was published under the name of "F. D. Eubank."  At the age of sixty  she learned to swim in a cold mountain spring-fed concrete swimming pool beneath giant hemlocks.  At her death  in  1948, she left behind many ways to know her : letters, manuscripts, drawings, diaries, and journals.  She and Daddy named me from a favorite novel of theirs called The Bridge of Time, in which Teta  as  a  young  princess in Egypt travels through time  to arrive in the future of 1914 as Iris.  Grandmother's immigrant ancestor, who emigrated from Niederingelheim,  Germany in 1749 to  Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was  Friedrich Schweickhart   and by 1769 he was known by the name Frederick Swagerty.  In 1783 Frederick settled in Greene County, North Carolina, in that area which became Cocke County, Tennessee, in 1797.  Growing up, I remember many car trips with the family across the mountains to Asheville and the return trip across the mountain by old 25-70 through Hot Springs along the French Broad to Newport in Cocke County.  The old family home, The Bridge House, built by her grandfather James Swagerty, is still intact at the road bridge across the Pigeon River along 25-70 in Newport.  The exterior of the house has been covered with brick.


Great Aunt Frances Whisenhunt . . .1920
Bonnie's Aunt Frances who we called Opanny., from original Opah.  She is age thirty-one here, the year she and Mr. Whisenhunt were married.  After her husband's death in 1931, she worked as  a private nurse in Asheville, North Carolina. Until her retirement in the 1950's, when I left for New York to study dance, I remember how happy I was to see Opanney on her many visits to our house.  She always came with a bottle of Port packed neatly in her square black suitcase.  It always smelled so sweetly of Cashmere-Bouquet soap.  She lived near our parents the last few years of her life.  She was with us until 1966.   She was adventurous and daring, yet at the same time very responsible and reliable. She enjoyed the family's long trip west in 1951 to visit the National Parks. With wire-rimmed glasses dropped slightly on her nose, she spent evenings writing postcards back home to family and friends, describing the glorious landscapes she was seeing. A family trip to New York City a couple years later  gave her no pause on a hot July day as she was ahead of all of us climbing the difficult spiral stairs to the crown of the Statue of Liberty.  On visits to our home through the years she and Bonnie would settle at the dining table, usually with a glass or two of  Port to talk of home in Black Mountain and news of our family. They would chuckle throughout their conversations - I listened, and learned the joy of good conversation.

Great Aunt Hat Swagerty. . . 1895
William's Aunt Hat, age nineteen, she and William were life-long correspondents.  Hat never married, though she had suitors in abundance. She lived with grandmother's family until about 1917 when she began a working career at the Southern Railway freight office in Knoxville, Tennessee.  After her retirement from Southern Railway  in the late 1930's, she moved to Asheville where William's brother Jim lived and worked.  As a retired railway employee, she was entitled to free passage on the trains.  She used her entitlement well, visiting sisters Eunice and Fanny, and sister Lora's family in Memphis. She died at age eighty-seven in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had lived with William's brother Jim and wife for a number of years.

Great Aunt Eunice Swagerty Fine . . .1890 
From visits to Aunt Hat and Uncle Jim in Asheville, our family would cross the mountains north of Asheville in one of the first Lincolns the Ford Company made after World War II.  We would visit with Aunt Eunice in Newport, Tennessee, and later in the evening or the next morning drive on to Oak Ridge.  Born in 1879 Eunice was the youngest daughter of William R. and Lydia Allen Swagerty.  Uncle Foster Fine and Eunice married in 1903.  He was a businessman who managed and held stock in a milling company located in Newport.  Foster died in the summer of 1928 when daughter Marian was a student at Carson Newman College.  Eunice did not remarry and made her living by operating their large home as a boarding house for many years.  Eunice sold the house a few years prior to her death.  She died in 1967 at the home of her daughter Marian and son-in-law Bill Clark.

Aunt Clara "Trilby" Eubank Hoblitzell  . . 1915
On social occasions when young people gathered around the piano, Clara would play, and she and William would sing together a few of their favorites.  William began to call his sister "Trilby" for the DuMaurier character, and from that time on Clara was known by everyone as "Trilby."  In 1911 at age fifteen, she entered St. Katherine's Episcopal School for Young Ladies, which her  great Aunt Sallie Ware had begun in the 1880's in west Tennessee.  Sallie's son the Rev. Charles Scott Ware was one of the teachers.   Not long after graduation, Trilby was engaged to George B. Hoblitzell, whose family owned one of two lumber production plants  in Andrews, North Carolina.. Grandfather Eubank had his lumber company office in town, and portable sawmills in several locations in the mountains.   Aunt Trilby and Uncle George were married in 1919 in Knoxville.  They had two children, a son William Thomas and a daughter Fanny Sue, who died after a long illness in 1934 at age eleven. A student at Kentucky Military Institute as World War II began, Capt. William T. "Billy" Hoblitzell was wounded early in the war in the North Africa Campaign.  Later promoted to the rank of Major, he died in 1953, leaving his widow Ada, and two sons, William T. and Kenneth. 

Uncle Jim Eubank . . . . 1953
Uncle Jim Eubank was often a visitor at our house.  He was four years younger than William, with no children - he didn't marry until his late forties - he was close to Aunt Hat, our family, and to his sister Trilby and his mother. He was proud of his fine bird dogs and camped and hunted with his friends.  He worked as a supply purchaser at the Enka Rayon Company in Asheville.  He kept an apartment in Asheville, but considered his residence to be with Grandmother Eubank in Andrews..  After the deaths of his mother and sister Trilby in 1948, he married in 1951.  Some time during the late 1950's he and his wife moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where they both retired as Federal employees.  He and Intha loved  to camp and always towed a boat with them for fishing and camping trips to the mountains.  Our family had been camping in cabins along Santeetlah Lake's shore since the lake had been created in the 1930's for power distribution to the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA).   And the lake was a favorite of Uncle Jim and Intha.  So when the truck and boat pulled into the driveway, we couldn't have been happier to join them.  We ate fresh caught bass rolled in corn meal and fried up crispy.  During the 1960's and '70's Uncle Jim and Daddy would go together to the stock trading board in Knoxville and argue about stocks to go for and which to leave alone..  Before his death in 1994 at age ninety, Uncle Jim had become a ferocious chess player.
