Eva Lucille (Lucille) Peters age 32 was the daughter of my grandfather Ernest Lester (Lester) Peters Sr. and his first wife Amy Etta Buckner. As such Aunt Lucille was my mother's half sister. Amy died in the great flu epidemic of 1920, and my grandfather later married my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson. Audie Paris Wright age 31 was the son of John Jones Wright and Mossie Ethel Heatherly. Aunt Lucille and Uncle Audie were married on 20 Aug 1938 in Oliver Springs. Virlen Ray (Ray) Wright age 10 was born 12 August 1939 in Scarbrough in Anderson County. The census enumerator inverted his names and listed his initial as B. rather than as V. They moved to Blount County from Anderson County in late 1942 or early 1943 as a result of the removal of thousands of people from Anderson County to make room for building the city of Oak Ridge as a part of the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. They lived in Blount County on the farm of Audie's grandparent. They only lived in Blount County for a short time and were removed again due to the construction of Fort Loudon Dam. Lewallen Road is near Clinton, of State Highway 61. They were living near the end of the road in the Lewallen Bend of the Clinch River. |
