A bit of family history, by way of the history of Wilson County, TN

This was really interesting to find (h/t to my sister): A Historical Sketch Of the Little Community “Vesta” From Its First Settlement to the Present Time (1819 ~ 1988) penned by my great-aunt, Carrie (Sanders) Harris Lannom. A neighbor of hers met her several years ago and duplicated the only copy in existence (!) of this work. He then posted it online where it could be found by those interested in Vesta/the Glade/Gladeville.

Aunt Carrie died almost four years ago--three weeks before my mother did. I wish I'd known about this when she was still alive so I could've talked to her about it!
