THE HISTORY OF TYNER By Gladys Sheneman Now 1 would like to take you down Memory Lane, as I remember Tyner. 1 remember going with my folks to John Telecamp’s Store. I remember the barrels of sugar, flour, crackers and pickles and the huge pot-bellied stove where the men all congregate, trying to solve the world’s problems and spitting tobacco juice in a big homemade spitoon. I am told some high school plays were held in the hall above the store. They even had dances in the hall also. How many remember the Medicine Shows? Everybody would come into town and they would put on a good show and then would sell bottles of medicine for SI.OO which was supposed to cure everything. The Tyner U. B. Church is where I gave my heart to the Lord in a revival meeting held by Rev. O’Riley. I was 13 and several of us were baptized out in Koontz Lake. I first attended school in the 6th grade over the Post Office with Olgo Kebert, teacher. Then we moved to the Chicken Coop for our 7th and Bth grades with Vera Klinedinst, teacher. Then in 1928 our freshman year we got to go into the new addition, and then 1 graduated in 1932. I can remember when the Ladies Aid from the Tyner U. B. Church cooked the dinners for the Alumni. Then we didn’t have an Alumni Banquet for a time and then Dutch Howard, Lewis Telecamp and Homer Stonebumer decided to try it again and have a pot luck. What a supper, but what a time finding their dishes. So they decided to have some one cook the dinner again and it has worked out fine ever since. 1 still remember going down to Frim Myers Store at the noon hour while in high school and buying an orange drink for 5 cents and a hot dog for 5 cents. If you bought a hamburger it was 10 cents. What a difference today. Now I can’t give the history of Tyner without mentioning three great people that brought a lot of happiness into my life. They are Rev. E. Tillman, who was pastor of the U. B. Church back in 1934 and he married me and my husband Claude on Saturday evening, June 16, 1934. 1 am sure you all remember Dr. Thompson. How many of you had him for your family doctor? You certainly don't find doctors today to come calling day or night like he would. He delivered over 4,000 babies. He delivered my son Dennis at home, along with his nurse, Georgia Johnson, for 525.00. Later built another home close by with office. My new little great-granddaughter cost 53,000. What a difference today. When the flu was so bad back in 1918 he never went to bed for three weeks. He bought a car in 1911 but he stored it in the winter and made house calls in his buggy or sleigh lam told they couldn't find him, looked everywhere and found him out in the outhouse sound asleep. Yes, most of us will never forget the Thompsons, for all the wonderful work they did for the church and the community. Another great person I will always remember was Bertha Haag. She was my art teacher in school. She was a poet, wrote lots of poems, painted beautiful pictures, gave chalk talks, many times

helped make the decorations for the tables for the alumni, had a book of poems published, and at the banquets she would write on the tablecloth all during the program and then when they called on her she would read the most interesting poem you ever heard.

Americans — Who Are We Today? New Numbers Provide the Answers

Americans today are older, better educated, and vastly more ethm cally diverse than their forefathers, according to “What the Numbers Say about the United States,” a new, comprehensive pullout section in the 1993 World Book Encyclopedia The census-based section, which appears in the “United States” article, details who we are, what we do, where we live, and where we came from, and includes a number of surprising statistics Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor: “In 1890, 97 9 percent of all immigrants came to the U S from Europe — three quarters from Western Europe and most of the rest from Eastern European Nations,” said World Book vice president and editorial director A Richard Harmet. “By 1990, fewer than 10 percent of U.S immigrants were from Europe, with two thirds from Latin America, and another 22 percent from Asia Traffic Jam: The U S has more automobiles per capita than any other country in the world In 1990, there were seven cars for every 10 people 15 or older The Boob Tube: Fewer than two percent of American households are without a TV — as recently as 1950, fewer than one in 10 U.S households had a television More than half of 1990 s American households have cable, too ‘‘One of the most alarming findings for us, as an educationoriented company, was that, in 1990, a TV set was in use in each U S home for an average of seven hours a day,” Harmet said City Slickers: Today, three quarters of the U.S population lives in urban areas, and more than half m metropolitan areas with a popula tion of at least 1 million 200 years ago, only five percent of Americans lived in urban areas So long, Ozzie and Harriet: According to the World Book special section, in 1960, nearly half of Amer lean households consisted of married couples with children In 1990. these households had decreased to a

third of the total Although you'd think the biggest change would be in single parent households, that wasn’t the case,” said Harmet “Single parent house holds did grow — from 10 percent in 1960 to 15 percent today But the percentage of unmarried individuals heading their own households more than doubled — from 13 percent to 29 percent.” Where Have All the Farmers Gone?: At the beginning of the cen tury. nearly half of all U S workers were involved in farming In 1990, almost three quarters were employed in service industries and only three percent were left on the farm The Graduates: In 1910, one quarter of Americans had completed less than four years of elementary school, fewer than 15 percent of the population had graduated from high school, and only one in 50 had earned a college degree Today, 75 percent of Americans have completed high school, and about 20 percent are college graduates Live Long and Prosper: Since 1990, life expectancy for women has increased from 48 years to 79 years Life expectancy for men rose from 46 years to about 72 years "We re not expected to see the same kinds of gains for the next century, however,” said World Book's Harmet “Re searchers are estimating that women's life expectancy will reach 85 — 78 for men ” The new pull-out on American demographics is just one of more than 70 new articles added to the W’orld Book Encyclopedia for 1993 Others included biographies for President Clinton, United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali and many others, as well as new entries on each of the nations created by the break up of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia Overall, more than half the pages of the 22 volume set were revised for the 1993 edition World Book, the world's best selling encyclopedia, is available only through the company’s direct sales force
