One family member was erroneously left off for prayers for Flonnie Fletcher's family and that was Earl James. So sorry but the prayers for him and his family also.

This community has lost another member. Jackie Bryson's battle with long term illness ended Wednesday the 21st. Our prayers and sympathy to his wife, Ann and family.

Hannah Whited has made a name for herself in the Track and Field Meets as a Central Magnet runner. She came in 6th in the A-AA TSSAA State Track Meet. This is no small feat for her first year and since she is a Freshman, we can look for greater things in her future.

She was recognized at the recent Central Magnet's Awards presentation as the Best Distance-Female. Congratulations Hannah!

Congratulations also to Jordan Turney for his running ability with Central Magnet. His 4x800 relay team placed 2nd in the TSSAA State Track Meet.

Summer Supper Celebration was held recently at the Woodbury Nursing Center to celebrate National Nursing Home Week. Winfred Gaither, Donna & Eddie Nichols, and Brenda Francis were a few who enjoyed the event with family members and friends.

Administrator John Sheehan grilled all the meat and the staff prepared the sides and desserts as well as decorations and set up.

Coming sometime in June, a group of "once-upon-a-time kids" in the village of Auburntown will be coming back to enjoy a day of leisure, touring the beautiful hills of Cannon County, visiting Chick (Ellen) Smithson's childhood farm, and stopping at other nostalgic and interesting places. They will then picnic at the Charlie Hawkins Park. Call Mary Jones Kelly at 931-261-7874 if you would like to be a part of this "travel-back-in-time" excursion.

June 4th is Scarlett Turney's and Noah Barnes' birthday. On the 5th Terry Thomas, Nancy Haley, Ryan Womack and Haley Armstrong all have their day. Becky Gandy and C. J. Hughes celebrate the 6th. Alyssa Whited, Brady Lewis Lee and Sunshine Robbins get to put another year behind them on the 7th. Alberta Griffith's is the 8th. Kathryn Faille gets her cake on the 9th and Danny Nichols and John King wind up the week's wishes on the 10th. Happy birthday to all of you.

It's the 55th anniversary of Joe and Velma Turner on the 4th. That same day but in 2011 it was Nick Smith who took Lori Jackson as his bride. On the 6th day of June in 1972, Clarence and Pam Nipper were wed. Happy anniversary to all three couples.
