“Tell Me A Good Story” - Waltzing Snapshots of McNairy County History
Through Savannah The Wayne
Jerrolds Story
Photo Submitted
Xxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx
By Bill Wagoner
County Historian
THE EARLY YEARS
It wasn’t easy for a 17-yearold teenager, walking away
from life out in Turkey Creek
in Hardin County, TN.
It wasn’t easy, walking away
from family and the atmosphere of it all. In the first
place, Burnt Church, so called
because the Union troops
burned the church during the
unrest of the days centering
around a place called Shiloh
Church, 20 miles to the southwest, is one of the most peaceful places on earth.
But that’s what happened in
the early ‘50’s. Wayne Jerrolds
walked away from his beloved
Burnt Church to pursue his
main love - music! .
“It was a conflict at home,
my daddy was old school, he
believed in field work first.
There was little room for frivolity, little room for a young’un
who wanted to be, of all things,
a fiddle player.” The split left
the aspiring musician with a
broken spirit and a badly damaged emotional system that
choked him for many years.
But, fences were mended and
he sees to his family.
While still a teenager,
Jerrolds “moved to town” to
pursue his music. He cleaved
to musicians like Elvis Black,
Hardin Qualls and Waldo
Davis. No, he may not have
been much of a hand on the
farm, he had sounds in his
head that needed to emerge.
The experts call it “expression
of one’s senses!” He and brother Bobby rode a fruit truck
to Maimi to compete in the
Ted Mack Original Amateur
Hour, playing a tune called The
Mockingbird.
Jerrolds played the local venues on Saturday nights. He traveled around the south-western
part of Tennessee competing
with fiddlers like Black, Hardin
and Jerrolds and later AI Lester.
He appeared for some time on
the Country Boy Eddie TV
Show in Birmingham, Ala.
“On our way to Birmingham
we picked up Wyannette Pugh
at Belmont, Ms. She turned out
to be Tammy Wynette, he said.
Jerrolds ventured out, even
in the years when fiddling
was a lot art. He played tenor
banjo in places like Jackson and
Memphis.
FIDDLING ERA
RETURNS
But....the age old tradition
of good fiddlin’ resurfaced in
the 1970’s. Almost in succession he won 10 state championship titles plus two Mid-South
Championships. He traveled to
Nashville a lot playing in company with people like Bobby
Osborne, John Hartford and
Earl Scruggs. He teamed with
The Warrior River Boys to
travel. They record with 3 fiddles - Red Taylor, Jerrolds and
Gordon Terry. He wrote many
songs about local people and
events. In the “Walking Tall”
movie he and Bobby joined
Fred and Jimmy Melton in
square dance scenes.
BUSINESS LIFE
Commission From pg. 1
Citizens want their roads
paved and I understand that,
but we just don’t have the
money,” said Smith.
He advised the commission
that it took about $80,000 to
pave a mile of roadway and
there was not much state aid
money available.
Commissioner Troy Moore
addressed the problem stating that about 14 years ago
the commission had borrowed
money to do some paving and
that he would like to see a
paving plan put in place without borrowing a large sum of
money like they had done in
the past.
Mayor Brooks asked that
Cheryl McNatt be considered for the library board at
the October meeting. Next
the McNairy County 4-H
National Winners were recognized and presented with
resolutions.
Judge Van McMahan was
scheduled to present the probation agreement to the commission, but was unable to
attend.
The meeting then turned to
discussion on the PEC property, which is approximately
7.5 acres that the county has

Jerrolds shied away from the
professional side of life because
there wasn’t much money in it
for side musicians. Mostly they
existed on self-importance and
egos, he said. He continued to
record extensively from Muscle
Shoals, Ala. to Nashville. He
could handle his music better to make it a side-line to
his successful land/real estate
interests. For 37 years he has
sponsored the Wayne Jerrolds
Bluegrass Festival in Savannah.
JOINS THE
BLUEGRASS BOYS
Jerrolds had, all his life, doted
on the music of Kentuckian
Bill Monroe. In early 1989 he
was hired, along with Scotty
Baugus, to join Monroe and
the Bluegrass Boys. His first
performance with Monroe was
on the Grand Ole Opry.
For three months he traveled with Monroe across the
nation. “It isn’t easy, getting
on an ice covered ‘airplane and
flying to Las Vegas, Nev. Or
Milwaukee, Wis., he said. Both
Jerrolds and Baugus “toughed
it out” even when “old man
Bill” was in his far away moods.
Now they are included in the
history of the Bluegrass Boys
and the love that surrounds
Monroe and events at Rosine
and Owensboro, Ky.
In addition to recording
Jerrolds still has time for MidSouth competition; He won
4 prestigious contests during
the past year. Jerrolds’ legacy
will never be fully told, he has
rendered untold help to worthwhile charity events. Most of
all he stood by his friends who
were there early when the nervous youth kept trying to get
“it right.”· Modest to the inth
degree, he never discusses his
contributions to the society he
has been a part of.

Selmer suspends vendors until
policy can be established
See JERROLDS, Pg. 5
The Town of Selmer held
their monthly meeting on
Tuesday night with a light
agenda for discussion. Wilburn
Gene Ashe led the opening
prayer followed by the Pledge
of Allegiance led by Edward
Smith. Minutes of the August
meeting were approved unanimously.
In department reports Police
Chief Neal Burks stated that
his department had worked 8
accidents and issued 226 citations in the month of August.
Fire Chief Anthony Carr
noted that his department
had worked 22 medical calls,
3 structure fires, 8 wrecks,
and had answered 49 total
calls. Chief Carr also advised
that his department had been
approved for a TML grant and
he hoped to get the town a
lower ISO rating in the near
future.
Public Works Director
Richard Ashe informed the
board that they had pumped
71 million gallons of water
in August, sent out 355 late
notices, cut off 69 for non payment, and added 5 new water
taps and 5 new gas taps. Joy
Nichols, who lives on S. Sixth
Street asked Mayor Smith why
garbage had to be in individual
bags before the garbage men
would pick them up.
Mayor Smith explained that
the garbage had to be transported from the Cushman
carts to the trucks and by it
being placed in bags it wouldn’t
blow out and litter the streets.
The board voted unanimously to pass a resolution
to help promote and increase
recycling, which Mayor Smith
said they were already doing.
They also approved closing
a section of Houston Avenue
behind the First Baptist
Church. The church plans
on building a multi-purpose
building behind the church.
The final item of business
was a motion by Alderman
Chris Tull to suspend all vendor operations on city property
until a policy could be established and passed by the board.
“We have been advised by
our Attorney Terry Abernathy
that we need to have a policy
in place due to the liability the
city would be under if someone
selling food or other items on
city property had some type of
accident that caused someone
to get hurt,” said Tull.
“I’m not against any vendors
or someone trying to make a
living. We just need to have
a policy in case someone gets
injured on city property. It’s
what our attorney has suggested and that’s why I’m making
this motion.”
Alderman John Smith seconded Tull’s motion and after
some discussion on the matter the motion passed unanimously. The board will work
together to come up with a
policy related to vendors setting up on city property to sell
their wares.
With nothing further the
meeting was adjourned.
agreed to purchase.
Mayor Brooks presented
the commissioners with diagrams of some of the possibilities for using the property.
The county clerk’s office,
board of education offices,
election commission office,
and tax assessor’s office could
be relocated there, which
would open up some much
needed room at the courthouse.
The jail in the courthouse
is now being used to store
documents and those could
be moved and the jail cleaned
out. After some discussion a
motion was made by Wiburn
Gene Ashe to let the building committee look at the
plan and come back before
the commission with their
thoughts and ideas on how
best to use the property. The
vote was unanimous.
Selmer Mayor John Smith
then addressed the commission asking that they consider
letting the City of Selmer
purchase the PEC property
and the city would in turn
sell the county three buildings for $650,000 including
the current city hall building
and the utility department
location, which has about 20
offices in it.

sheet for movies that just

Many families in the
United
States
observe
National
Grandparents
Day on the first Sunday of
September after Labor Day.
This day honors grandparents. National Grandparents
Day was signed into law by
President Jimmy Carter in
1978. Kindergarten students
at Bethel Springs Elementary
celebrated the occasion on
Friday, September 5, 2014.
Their Grandparents were
invited to eat breakfast and
watch a student performance.
Marian Lucille McQuade,
a housewife in West Virginia,
initiated to have a day to
honor Grandparents. She and
her husband had 15 children,
43 grandchildren, 10 greatgrandchildren, and one greatgreat grandchild. Throughout
the 1970s, McQuade worked
hard to educate the people
about the important contributions senior citizens made
and the contributions that
they would be willing to
make if asked. She also urged
people to adopt a grandparent, not for one day a year and
not for material giving, but
for a lifetime of experience.
President Jimmy Carter
proclaimed: Grandparents are
our continuing tie to the nearpast, to the events and beliefs
and experiences that so
strongly affect our lives and
the world around us. Whether
they are our own or surrogate
grandparents who fill some
of the gaps in our mobile
society, our senior generation
also provides our society a
link to our national heritage
and traditions. We all know
grandparents whose values
transcend passing fads and
pressures, and who possess
the wisdom of distilled pain
and joy. Because they are usually free to love and guide and
befriend the young without
having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often
reach out past pride and fear
of failure and close the space
between generations.

Time for cool fall,
Friday nights, watching our Bobcats play
some good ol’ fashion football. The
highlights are on
our senior players as
they go through their
final year at McNairy
Central wearing their
blue jerseys. This is
their final year as high
school students to run
on the field under the
stadium lights. This is
their final year to hear
their friends and fam-
ily cheering them on.
In May they will walk

The See You at
the Pole Story
A small group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas,
came together for a
DiscipleNow weekend in
early 1990. They came
seeking God and little did
they know how powerfully
He was about to move. On
Saturday night their hearts
were penetrated like never
before, when they became
broken before God and
burdened for their friends.
Compelled to pray, they
drove to three different
schools that night. Not
knowing exactly what to
do, they went to the school
flagpoles and prayed for
their friends, schools, and
leaders. Those students
had no idea how God
would use their obedience.
God used what He did
among those teenagers and others who were
holding similar prayer
meetings at their schools
to birth a vision in the
hearts of youth leaders
across Texas. The vision
was that students throughout Texas would follow
these examples and meet
at their school flagpoles to
pray simultaneously. The
challenge was namedSee You at the Pole™
at a brainstorming session
during a meeting of key
youth leaders. The vision
was shared with 20,000
students in June 1990 at
Reunion Arena in Dallas,
The Fellowship of Christian
Students (FCS) will host
“See You at the Pole” on
September 24 in the gym,
beginning at 7:30 am. All
students and faculty are
encouraged to attend.
Texas.
Only God had envisioned how many students
would step up to the challenge. At 7:00 a.m. on
September 12, 1990, more
than 45,000 teenagers
met at school flagpoles
in four different states to
pray before the start of
school. Reports came into
toll-free number for days
after the first event.
A few months later, a
group of youth ministers
from all over the country gathered together for
a national conference in
Colorado. Many of them
reported that their students
had heard about the prayer
movement in Texas and
were equally burdened for
their schools. No other
events had been planned,
but it was clear that students across the country
would be creating their
own national day of student prayer. There was no
stopping them.
On September 11, 1991,
at 7:00 a.m., an estimated
one million students gathered at school flagpoles
all over the country. From
Boston, Massachusetts, to
Los Angeles, California,
from North Dakota to the
tip of Texas, students came
together to pray. Some
sang, some read Scripture,
but most importantly, they
prayed. Like those first
students, they prayed for
their schools, for their
friends, for their leaders,
and for their country.
As in all great movements of prayer, See You
at the Pole™ did not begin
in the hearts of people. It
began in the heart of God.
God used the obedience of
a small group of teenagers
to ignite what has become
an international movement
of prayer among young
people.
Since 1991, See You
at the Pole™ has grown
to God-sized proportions. Within the first
few years, the movement
began to spread to other
nations through missionaries from the U.S. Now
each year, more than 3
million students from all
the world participate in
See You at the Pole™.
Students in more than
20 countries take part.

Austin Cotner (#2) looks on. Paul had 3 rushing touchdowns against TCA.
Lions win
49-42, shootout
Adamsville and Trinity
Christian Academy met in
Jackson last Friday night in
what was predicted to be one
of the better games in the area.
It was a great game if you like
watching points being scored
as the teams combined to put
91 points up, but if you’re a fan
of defense it wasn’t your type
of game.
Adamsville,
now
2-1,
entered the contest ranked #2
in the state’s 2A poll while
TCA, 2-1, came in ranked
#4. The Lions were able to
rally from an early 14-0 deficit
and went on to win 49-42,
and most likely captured the
District 15-A title.
“This was two good teams
and somebody had to lose,”
said Coach Brandon Gray. “We
gave up some big plays on
defense and in the end it cost
us. We’re in the same situation
we were in at this time last
year so we know there’s a lot
of football left to play and we
could see TCA again in the
playoffs like we did last year.
We’ll learn from this and get
better.”
TCA won the toss and wanted the ball first. The Cardinals
forced them to go 3 and out
and after the punt got the ball
at their own 45. Adamsville
Cardinal defenders Chase Burdette (#13), Hutch Hefner (#24), Jacob Dengler (#32),
Dylan Sweat (#55), and Luke Kiser (#5 on the ground) close in on a TCA runner. See
more photos on our McNairy County News facebook page.
drove down the field and quarterback Seth Paul scored from
2 yards out with 4:52 left in
the opening period.
Will Linam’s extra point
gave Adamsville a 7-0 lead.
TCA’s next possession got
the Cardinal fans on their
feet when Laderrick Means
intercepted a Kyle Akin pass
and returned it 60 yards for a
Cardinal touchdown.
The extra point gave

shutout 54-0 at
Lexington
The McNairy Central
Bobcats went on the road last
Friday night for their first district game of the season to
face District 14-AA favorite
Lexington.
The Lexington Tigers have
not lost a regular season district game since 2009 and
they kept that streak alive as
they rolled past the Bobcats
54-0. The Bobcats dropped
to 0-2 on the season and are
still looking to score their first
points of the season under
new head coach Chad Hodge.
“We looked good coming
out of the gate on offense and
then we stalled and Lexington
never looked back,” said
Coach Hodge. “We have to
get a lot better on the offensive line. We also have to quit
arm tackling and start hitting
people with our pads. Our
kids are practicing hard and
they simply have to take it
into the Friday night games.”
It won’t get any easier for
the Bobcats this week as they
host county rival Adamsville.
The Cardinals are currently
ranked 4th in the state’s 2A
poll.
“Adamsville is a good football team and they have 8
returners on both sides of
the ball. They are bigger up
front than most teams and are
accustomed to winning. We
have to show them that last
week against Lexington is not
the McNairy Central team
they will see this Friday,” said
Coach Hodge.

hung tough the first quarter. Lexington got their first
touchdown of the night with
2:47 left in the opening period
and added the extra point for
a 7-0 lead.
Things went downhill for
the Bobcats from that point
on. Lexington made it 14-0
with 11:40 left in the second
period. They upped their lead
to 21-0 with 3:46 remaining
in the first half and with just
51 seconds left before halftime
they scored on a passing play
to extend their lead to 28-0 at
the break.
The Bobcats were unable
to generate any offense in the
second half and Lexington
continued to light up the
scoreboard. With 9:45 left
in the third period a touchdown on a passing play put
the Tigers up 35-0.
With 4:03 left in the third
the Tigers added another score
on a running play to give them
a 42-0 lead. In the final period
Lexington added two more
touchdowns. With 8:14 left
to play they scored for a 48-0
lead, missing the extra point.
The final score of the night
came with 3:01 left and following another missed extra
point the Tigers led 54-0,

WE DO, TOO!
Adamsville softball coach Todd McGee is pictured with
former player Lani Rinks who is the new head softball
coach at Bethel Springs. Rinks played 4 years of basketball and 5 years of softball for Coach McGee and
was his assistant junior high softball coach for 2 years.
The teacher got the best of the student on Monday
when Coach McGee got a 9-5 win over his former
player.
Adamsville’s Todd McGee
met one of his former players on
Monday night as they coached
against each other on the softball field. Lani Rinks, a former
Lady Cardinal standout softball
and basketball player at AHS,
went up against her old coach.
Rinks is the new head softball coach at Bethel Springs this
season. Her team had a lead for
much of Monday night’s game,
but Adamsville’s junior high
girls rallied for a 9-5 win. Rinks
had this to say about facing her
former coach and mentor.
“It was very exciting to
coach against my former coach
Monday night. I played basketball for four years and softball for five years at Adamsville
under Coach McGee. I also had
the privilege of being his assistant coach for the junior high
softball team for two seasons.
I have the utmost respect and
admiration for Coach McGee,
as he was a great influence in
my life as a person, player, and
now coach. I take great pride in
being able to be his first former
player to coach against. This
game will always have special
meaning to Coach McGee and
myself.”
Things only got better for
Coach McGee as the following afternoon on Tuesday he
took on another former player
in Brittany Harbin who is now
the softball and girls basketball
coach at Pickwick Southside.
“Coaching against two of my
former players in two consecutive days, it’s amazing,” said
Coach McGee.

Adamsville last Thursday and
came away with a big 40-0
win over the Cardinals.
“Selmer came to play
tonight and we did not,”
said Coach Michael Harvill.
“They did everything right
and we did everything wrong.
They blocked, tackled, and
executed plays extremely
well. They were well prepared
and they are a very good football team. As for us, I believe
this was the worst football
game I have ever coached in.
I don’t think we did anything
right all night from the opening kickoff till the last play of
the game. We had bad snaps,
turnovers, and missed tackles. It was just very ugly, not
Adamsville football. Selmer
played great and definitely
deserved to win. They will
have a good season.”
Adamsville took the open-
ing kickoff and went three
and out. Selmer’s Matt
Cossey scored on the Lions
very first play on a 55-yard
run. The 2-pt. try failed leaving the Lions with a 6-0 lead.
Adamsville failed to cover the
ensuing kickoff and Selmer

20-0. Adamsville had to punt
again on their next possession
and the Lions got the ball at
their own 48. Two plays later
Lucas Hively scored from 47
yards out. The 2-pt. try was
good and the Lions went up
28-0, which would be the
score at halftime.
The Lions had the ball first
to start the second half and
used only four plays to add
to their lead. Blake Buntyn
scored on a 15-yard run to
make it 34-0 in favor of the
Lions. Adamsville fumbled on
their next possession and the
Lions recovered.
Andru Yopp scored on the
very next play on a 48-yard

up. We have three more games
to go, so don’t count us out
yet.” Michie’s Andrea Witten
was proud of her girls even in
a loss. “The girls played great

We were able to get a couple
of turnovers that led to quick
points.”
Bethel coach Noah Evans
stated, “Ramer played well and
we didn’t have an answer for
#40 (Austin Scott). Once he
got outside he scored. We have
to do a better job of tackling
and executing on both offense
and defense.”Bethel turned the
ball over on downs on their
first possession and Ramer’s

a touchdown on the Eagles first
offensive play.

“Our girls played much
better against Selmer this
time around, but we had too
many errors and not hits,”
said Lady Rebel coach Lani
Rinks. “It’s hard to win when
you do that. We got to continue practicing hard each
day to get better.”
Selmer led 1-0 after one
inning and then added 5
runs in the third and 4 in
the fourth for a 10-0, which
was the final. Annabelle
Whitaker was the winning
pitcher, tossing a no hitter
and striking out 12 Lady
Rebels. Kylee Brown took the
loss.
For Selmer, Annabelle
Whitaker was 1 for 2 with 4
RBIs. Rachel Pickens went 1
for 2 with an RBI. Tori York
was 1 for 3 with a triple and
an RBI. Paige Mask went 1
for 2. Caitlyn Bodiford went
1 for 2.

Friday Night Preview
McNairy Central
at Adamsville
(33rd meeting)
Game time
7:00 p.m.
Friday night the Adamsville
Cardinals (2-1) will visit the
McNairy Central Bobcats
(0-2) in the 33rd meeting
between the two county
rivals. Although the teams
first met in 1974 they did not
play each other in 1975, 76,
77, 78, 79, 80, 87, or 88. The
Bobcats hold a commanding
24-8 edge over the Cardinals.
At one time they had a
22 game winning streak.
Adamsville finally stopped
the streak in 2009 when they
got their first ever shutout
over the Bobcats, an 18-0 win
at Adamsville. The Bobcats
have shutout the Cardinals 14
times. In 2010 the Cardinals
won 34-7, which is their largest ever margin of victory
over the Bobcats.
McNairy Central’s largest
margin of victory was in 2000
when they won 62-0. The
Cardinals, who now have five
straight wins over the Bobcats
would like to make it six in a
row, while the Bobcats’ plan
is to end the streak at five.
Adamsville’s only wins
over McNairy Central, prior
to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012,
and 2013 were in 1981, 1983

Browder was the Adamsville
coach. Browder later became
coach at McNairy Central and
never lost to the Cardinals
during his tenure.
Things have turned around
for the Cardinals in the past
few years under head coach
Brandon Gray. The Bobcats
have started this season with
a 20-0 loss at Kossuth and
last week they were beaten
at District 14-A A favorite
Lexington 54-0.
The Bobcats are still looking for their first points of the
season. The Cardinals opened
their season with a 14-7 win
at Chester County followed
by a 41-9 win at home over
Bethel Springs hosted
Adamsville in softball action
on Monday night at Selmer’s
Patriot Park. Adamsville used
a big fourth inning to rally for
a 9-5 win.
“We were up 5-2 going
into the fourth inning, but
we broke down and had too
many errors to keep our lead,”
said Bethel head coach Lani
Rinks. “I was proud of the way
the girls hit the ball tonight
and hopefully we can build
Bolivar. Adamsville suffered
a tough 49-42 loss to District
15-A opponent TCA last week
as TCA rallied from a 14-0
first quarter deficit.
Adamsville and McNairy
Central will both try to put
last week’s losses behind
them and when the Bobcats
and Cardinals play you can
throw the records out the
window.
The game is always a hardhitting game played with
plenty of emotion on both
sides of the field. The team
that makes the least amount
of mistakes will have the
best chance to win this year’s
county championship. Fans
should get to Don Whitaker
Stadium early to get a good
seat.
Also, be prepared to hear
two of the best bands in the
country at halftime. It will
also be the official kickoff
