became a lifelong avid reader, developing a gift for storytelling. She attended MTSU and graduated from
the Nashville School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse.
While working at Nashville General Hospital, she met and fell in love with a young resident doctor from
Cookeville, Kenneth Haile, and her destiny was transformed. In the world of the Greatest Generation,
everything changed again on December 7, 1941, and they married on December 23rd, as he planned to
enter service, eventually serving in the Navy in the Atlantic and Pacific. She worked at the Vultee Aircraft
Plant as a nurse.
After the war, though he had a promising career set in Nashville, Dr. Haile felt a calling to bring the couple
and their children home to Cookeville in 1947. He began general practice and she enthusiastically balanced
raising the family and a long career of volunteer positions.
She was very active in community service. She staffed the Red Cross Bloodmobile for many years, served
the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association chapters, the Cookeville Study Club,
numerous groups and positions with First United Methodist Church, and many organizations involving her
five children.
Mrs. Haile received the Longrifle Award from the Boy Scouts of America, and a Lifetime Membership
Award from the Capshaw PTA. She worked in numerous other activities associated with her children's
schools, clubs and sports.
After Dr. Haile died in 1968, she worked at Tennessee Tech University's Student Health Clinic. She also
continued her active interests in her church, bridge and reading as long as her health allowed.
Like the classic plots of novels by authors such as Charles Dickens, her life had many dramatic turns. But
she saw her life as that of a character where, despite the tragic moments, happiness genuinely prevails with
the help of family, friends and faith.
Her family includes a daughter and son-in-law, Sara and John Deppen of Augusta, Ga.; four sons and three
daughters-in-law, Henry and Bette Haile of Nashville, Dr. Kenneth and Jyotsna Haile of Marietta, Ga.,
John and Emma Jane Haile of Cleveland and Jim Haile of Washington, D.C.; 10 grandchildren, Ella Marie
and husband Jeff Dunn, Porter and wife Christie Haile, Perry B. Haile, Jayson Haile, Sally Haile, Morgan
and wife Jennifer Haile, Laura Haile, Lucy Deppen, Jennifer Deppen and Mary Rebecca Deppen; four
great-grandchildren, Karley Dunn and Eden, Griffin and Elijah Haile; and a sister-in-law, Virginia Haile of
Lenoir City.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Kenneth Lee Haile; a brother,
John Owen Griffin Jr.; and three sisters, Lucy Griffin Polansky, Sara Griffin and Orra Griffin.
Pallbearers will be family and friends.
Memorial donations may be made to one of the organizations central to her life, including the Putnam
County Library, Cookeville First United Methodist Church, the American Heart Association or the
American Cancer Society.
Revs. Max Mayo and Drew Shelly will officiate at the services.

SMITH COUNTY –Cookeville man killed in I-40 accident.
A Cookeville man driving a motorcycle was killed in a traffic crash in Smith County on Friday night,
according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Kenneth Wayne Hall, 55, died in the three-vehicle accident, which happened just after 10 p.m. June 1 in the
eastbound lanes of Interstate 40, says a report by State Trooper Keith Maddox.
Hall was driving a 2000 Harley Davison motorcycle east on I-40 at the 253 mile marker when a vehicle
traveling behind him “appeared to strike the motorcycle,”the report says.
A truck driver, Fred Anthony Brewer, 48, of North Carolina, was traveling behind the vehicle which
appeared to hit the cycle, and when the vehicle in front of him “went to the shoulder”of the highway, the
trucker swerved into the left lane to avoid the crash, but struck the motorcycle driver, the report says.
The vehicle which first hit the motorcycle fled the scene, and law officers are still trying to locate that
driver.
Before the accident, Hall was diving his motorcycle in the right lane, the second vehicle was behind him,
and the truck, a 2003 Freightliner tractor trailer, was about 500 feet behind the second vehicle, according to
the trooper’s report.
After the crash, the motorcycle came to rest in the median, and the trucker stopped in the fast lane of traffic,
the report says. The trucker was not injured. Kenneth Wayne Hall worked at KNC Transmission Parts and
Dacco Inc. for many years.
The crash is still under investigation.

SIMCOX CHARGED IN MINISTER’S MURDER
Source: Herald-Citizen, Cookeville, TN
Monday, 22 May 1978
Secretary To Be Chief Witness
By Bronwyn Turner
A Cookeville secretary will apparently be the state’s chief witness against her lover who is charged with
murdering her minister when finding them together in a secluded area of a cemetery west of Cookeville
about noon Friday.
Mrs. Constance (Polly) Nichols of Monterey, has told close
friends of the family that she had gone to Judd Cemetery in the
Holladay community near Cookeville with Rev. James C.
Hammons, minister of Mill Creek Baptist Church to talk with
him about her wishes to end her relationship with Orville B.
Simcox, 55, also of Monterey.
But Simcox, a Putnam County political figure and retired
Tennessee Central Railroad conductor, had allegedly followed
them and there near the Judd Cemetery church he shot
Hammons twice in the head as he sat in Mrs. Nichols’car, and he died immediately.
District Attorney General John Roberts confirmed today that a preliminary hearing in the case may be
waived by agreement between prosecutors and defense attorney Donald Dickerson and an indictment
sought directly from the grand jury.
A June 2 date has been tentatively set for a preliminary hearing Roberts said. In the meantime, the case
will go before the grand jury, he indicated.
Hammons, 40, was shot twice in the head, once in the forehead and once in the right temple, according to
reports.
His body was found near the church, in a puddle of blood, by ambulance attendants answering an
anonymous phone call received at 11:48 a.m. Hammons was declared dead on arrival at Cookeville
General Hospital shortly before noon, after a second anonymous phone call was made to the Putnam
Ambulance Service.
Authorities investigating the shooting have been reluctant to release details of the events leading to
Hammons’death. But sources indicate that Mrs. Nichols was being “counseled”by Rev. Hammons when
Simcox allegedly surprised them and shot Hammons to death.
According to one report, Simcox forced Mrs. Nichols to assist in moving Hammons body by car the 150
yards from the cemetery to the church then leaving the body there and attempting to clean up the car.
Simcox was arrested by officers Friday night outside Cookeville General Hospital where he was visiting his
wife, a patient there.
Simcox was leader of the 5th Sunday Gospel Singing and had performed with Hammons in a revival in a
Cookeville church two weeks ago.
Hammons, a resident of Quinland Lake Road, was a member of the Hammons Trio, a popular gospel
singing group, and minister of the Mill Creek Baptist, near Cookeville. He also worked as a salesman for
Foam and Wood Industries, 621 Maxwell.
Apparently Hammons was contacted by Mrs. Nichols, a member of his church, Friday morning. Mrs.
Nichols, about 30, told one source that she was trying to break up a relationship with Simcox, was afraid of
him and was seeking counseling from her minister about the situation.
Hammons and Mrs. Nichols reportedly first met at a Cookeville shopping center, then drove in separate
cars to the church after having encountered Simcox in the shopping center parking lot.
At the church, Hammons reportedly got in Mrs. Nichols’car and drove with her to the rear of the cemetery
to talk with her. Simcox allegedly followed them and at once shot Hammons at close range with a 25caliber pistol.
Simcox is being held without bond at Putnam jail. He told a newsman at the jail Saturday. “Pray for me.”
A former Putnam magistrate Simcox has long been active in Democratic politics here and was a candidate
for register of deeds in 1974. He is employed as a salesman for the Vaughn Mounment Works in
Cookeville.
Simcox also directs music at Monterey Freewill Baptist Church and is a former president of the Tennessee
State Singing Convention.
Funeral services for Hammons were to be held at 2 p.m. today with burial at Crest Lawn memorial
Cemetery. Rev. Raymond White and Rev. Charles Randolph were to conduct services at Eastwood Baptist
Church.
Survivors include his wife, Barbara (Cooper) Hammon, a son, Timothy Howard Hammons; two
daughters, Melinda Annette and Lisa Elaine, all of Quinland Lake Road, his mother, Mrs. Ella Mae
Hammons of Quinland Lake Road and one sister, Mrs. Joyce Geyer of Warren, Michigan.
Hammons was a native of Overton County.

JACKSON COUNTY -- A Cookeville teenager died after falling 30 to 40 feet at Cummins Falls in
Jackson County on Wednesday afternoon. Bryan Hudelston, 18, and friends of his had been exploring the
rugged terrain at the popular hiking and swimming spot which is located on private property in a rural area
on the edge of Jackson County, officials said.
It happened about 3:25 p.m. on Sept. 9. The boy's uncle, Jesse Hudelston Jr., said he was told that Bryan
and his friends were climbing back up the steep bluff when Bryan turned "to blow a kiss to a girl" and lost
his footing. Jeff Allen, director of the Jackson County Ambulance Service and a member of the Jackson
County Rescue Squad, told the Herald-Citizen that the boy "was out on an upper ledge and just lost his
footing and fell down some 30 to 40 feet and hit a rock at the bottom of the falls, then went into the water."
"One of his friends said he saw him fall, heard the rustle of the brush as he went down, and saw him hit on
a rock down there," Allen said. "That little swimming hole at the bottom is supposed to be about 10 to 12
feet deep, and some of his friends went down there and waded in, trying to find him, but they couldn't."
Someone called for help, and 12 members of the Jackson County Rescue Squad responded, along with 10
volunteers from the Dodson Branch Fire Department, and deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff's
Department, Allen said. "Our dive team went down to him and located him under the water within about 15
minutes," he said.
But getting the dive team and their equipment safely down to the area took some time, and the body was
located and brought back up at about 5:30 p.m., he said. Uncertain whether it was injuries in the fall or
drowning which caused the death, the authorities sent the body to Nashville for an autopsy, and the
investigation was still underway on Thursday, Allen said. Allen said it was the sixth time this year that
rescuers have been called to Cummins Falls to help victims of falls and other type accidents. All five of the
victims in the other cases survived, he said.
Hudelston graduated from Cookeville High School earlier this year. He was the son of Carol and Anthony
Tays of Swafford Road, Cookeville. His uncle, Jesse Hudelston Jr., described Bryan as "a typical teenager"
who was enjoying summer activities before settling down to look for a job. Funeral services will be held on
Monday at Crest Lawn Funeral Home.

Throughout her teaching career she was a prolific painter, exhibiting locally, regionally and nationally.

mother, grandmother and friend. She often said she was blessed by having wonderful children and amazing
grandchildren, referring to them as “genetic miracles”! She and her husband, composer Robert Jager,

PUTNAM COUNTY -- Of the many families across the United States who suffered the loss of loved ones
in the military this year, three of those had ties to Putnam County.
The first was a 1979 graduate of Upperman High School, Ronald Johnson, who had retired from the
military and was working for a private security company with a contract in Iraq when his helicopter crashed
in Baghdad in January.
Johnson had a long distinguished career in the military's Special Forces, including service in the 1983
invasion of Grenada. After retiring from the military, he began working for a private security company as a

Hand Bells.
Mrs. Johnson held membership in various book clubs, food and garden clubs and the parent teachers
associations. She was a staunch supporter of all her sons' activities. Their sports activities were a first
priority with her. She was known to descend from the football stadium onto the sidelines to remind one of
them to put his mouthguard in place. Also, ever so discreetely, she would give them encouraging hugs after
they would leave the gym door after the game commenced, no matter the outcome.
She was a consistent visitor to the neighbors, church members, nursing home residents and others with her
homemade pies, cookies and cakes. Among her many talents, cooking for others was a favorite. She was a

(Kentucky) College of Commerce. He earned his L. L. B. degree at Cumberland University in 1934 and his
M. A. degree at Northwestern University in 1941. Johnson Hall was named in his honor in 1971.
He was highly respected and admired for his work and public service and was loved for his wit and charm.
He had served as dean of the TTU College of Business Administration for
many years, had served on the Cookeville City Commission in the late 40's
and early 50's, and chaired the charter commission which drafted Cookeville's
present city charter, moving the city from the commission form of
government to the city manager/council form.

13, at 3 p.m. at Cookeville First United Methodist Church with Rev. Jim
Rogers and Dr. Robert Bell officiating. Burial will be at Crest Lawn

Dr. Johnson's life was memorialized in the following tribute from the university he served for many years:
The bricks and mortar of Tennessee Tech University's Johnson Hall stand solid in honor of Louis Johnson
Jr.'s long-term commitments to his work, his relationships and his community.
Johnson, regarded as "Mr. Business Administration" by several generations of students, served from 1942
until 1975 as dean of Tennessee Tech University's College of Business Administration. He continued to
teach as a faculty member until 1978.
"Dean Johnson was the foundation stone of the college," said TTU President Bob Bell. "Beyond this, he
was the most beloved representative the College of Business ever had."
Johnson's credentials included a bachelor's degree from Bowling Green College of Commerce (now
Western Kentucky University), a master's degree from Northwestern University and a law degree from
Samford University. But his value to Tennessee Tech and the community could not be measured only in
terms of academic credentials.
He is credited with upgrading the curricula, laying the foundation of the master's of business administration
program, teaching with dedication and expertise, and building relationships between the university and the
business, industrial and civic sectors of the community.
Committed to public service as well as academia, he used his expertise and knowledge to shape local
government and to support it with his participation.
He served as Cookeville's Commissioner of Finance and Taxation from 1947-1953. Johnson also served as
chairperson of the charter commission that drafted the Cookeville charter establishing the current city
manager and council form of government.
Still, Tennessee Tech faculty, staff and alumni remember Johnson for a spirit and attitude rarely found in an
individual with so much influence, responsibility and education.
"Dr. Johnson would tell us stories and jokes," said Candy Norris of the college's Division of External
Relations. "He talked about dollar dates when he and his wife, Virginia, could each have a hamburger and a
coke, go to the Princess Theater to watch a picture show and still have a nickel left over to buy popcorn."
TTU economics professor Whewon Cho, a longtime friend of Johnson's, says that kind of story is what
made the dean different. He valued chit chat, a good joke, and a personal story.
"He was the best I've ever seen at remembering names of students," said Cho.. "At homecomings, he could
remember a graduate's name from 30 years ago as well as one from five years ago. That motivation came
from the compassion he had for everyone."
President Bell agrees, saying "his daily interactions with people gave me an example of what a good dean
does. Actually, it was more than interaction, it's what I'd call 'loving on people,' a genuine concern and
fondness for everyone around him."
Johnson Hall was named and dedicated for him in 1971 because of the mark he left on the university in his
35 years there. When he met the current College of Business Administration Dean Bob Niebuhr, he gave
him a charge to "take care of my building."
But Johnson's real legacy is only represented by the building. The life of his work was about people. The
Dean Louis and Virginia Johnson Fund for Excellence was established to take care of students and faculty
who will use the building in years to come. It honors Johnson and wife Virginia, who earned a bachelor's
degree in English from TTU and taught business communications there for 23 years. The fund will support
student scholarships and graduate assistantships, faculty travel to professional meetings, publication
expenses, summer research grants for faculty and graduate students, and seed money to begin new
programs.
Christine Jones, TTU's regional history librarian in special collections, wrote a description of Johnson that
reflects Johnson's ultimate accomplishments.
"He realized and appreciated the value of sincerity of conviction, honor of conduct, integrity of purpose,
and fulfillment of promise," she said.
"He had the friendship of men, the respect of women, and the tender love of children. And he believed in
getting things done."

Farmer found dead after falling off plow
Heather Mullinix
Herald-Citizen Staff
PUTNAM COUNTY -- A Cookeville man died this weekend after falling from the seat of a mule-pulled
disc plow.
Hubert Leroy Jones, 68, was found Saturday morning in his field. Emergency medical personnel
determined he had died before his family found him.
According to the report by Cpl. Jerry Dale Abston, emergency personnel were called to the farm at 4395
Shady Lane Saturday morning. Helen Jones, Hubert Jones' wife, told investigators her husband had gotten
up early that morning to disc the field. When she finished cooking breakfast, she tried to call her husband
but there was no answer on the cell phone.
She walked to the back of the field and saw the disc plow on top of Hubert Jones and he would not respond.
She returned to the house to call for help and to find her son, Jeff Jones.
Jeff Jones was able to unhook the mules and tie them to trees before emergency medical assistance arrived.
Abston wrote in the report County Coroner Tommy Copeland determined Jones died before the family
found him that morning. It is believed Jones fell off the seat and landed under the plow. The disc plow was
in use prior to the invention of the tractor. It had a seat with no sides.
Jones was owner of Jones Trucking and Excavating and deacon of Rocky Point Baptist Church.
Funeral services for Jones have been set for Tuesday at Eastwood Baptist Church in Cookeville. A full
obituary is published on page A-6 of this edition of the Herald-Citizen.

Mrs. Lamb died Wednesday evening, Jan. 5, 2011, at her home on Sherwood
Lane.
She was born May 25, 1926, in Monroe, La., to the late Henry Kirt and Hortense
Dixon Touchstone Sr.
After graduating in 1942 at age 16 from Neville High School in Monroe, she
attended Randolph-Macon Women's College, Lynchburg, Va., where she received a bachelor of science
degree in history and political science in 1945. She married Walter Elmo Lamb on June 29, 1946, in a
garden wedding at the family home in Monroe. She and Walter then began their life together in
Chattanooga, later moving to Nashville. In 1956, Walter was offered the opportunity to purchase the Gulf
Oil distributorship in Cookeville, creating W. E. Lamb Distributors, which later became Lamb Oil
Company. There she served as bookkeeper and secretary.
Mrs. Lamb was a beloved Sunday School teacher (First Presbyterian Church) and Girl Scout leader for
many years. A tennis enthusiast from an early age, she loved playing in Cookeville and on visits to
Monroe, as well as on tennis vacations with good friends Joan Kibbons, Evelyn Breyer, Alice Derryberry,
Carol Holland and Julia Lowe. An avid gardener, she enjoyed many years with the Cookeville Garden
Club, and was a particular fan of rhododendron and lilies. In addition, she was a member of the Town and
Gown Club and the Cookeville Book Lovers Club (although she always read the last page first to be sure
there was a happy ending). As lighting director, she worked closely with Margery Hargrove on dozens of
local theatrical productions, sharing her expertise and joy in the theater. Her love of adventure and
discovery led her to travel widely in the U.S., as well as to Europe and Africa. She once celebrated a
birthday in Nairobi with a birthday dance around the tent and bonfire with Carnivore restaurant kitchen
staff singing "Mama Safari." Trips to Utah with cousins, Nelson and Bennie Abell led to a high point:
shaking hands with Robert Redford at the dedication of Sundance.
Friends and family will remember her warmth, compassion, humor and enthusiasm for life. She was an
inspiration to all who knew her.
Her family includes a daughter, J. Lee Bonnet of Nashville; a son and daughter-in-law, Touch and Cathy
Lamb of Cookeville; three granddaughters, Jennifer Bonnet of Ann Arbor, Mich., Libby Lamb of
Cookeville and Rachael Lamb Larkins of Fayetteville; and a great-granddaughter, Maddy Larkins.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Walter E. Lamb and brothers, H.K. Jr.
and H.D. Touchstone.

over the years: Jane Beard, Gail Harness, Donna Wyatt, Peggy Boles, Dean Hagins, Lori Murphy, Carlene
Poston and Kelsie Combs.
