Johnson City staff decorates city founder s cemetery monument

How to fly Tennessee flag correctly?

The living must protect the final resting places of the dead

A case of vandalism at Oak Hill Cemetery in Johnson City was reported to the city’s police department earlier this month. Culprits removed several iron gates at the entrance to the cemetery and smashed a very old headstone at the site. Established in 1870, Oak Hill is one of the oldest cemeteries in Johnson City and includes the graves of many prominent citizens in the city’s history. Henry Johnson, the city’s founder, is buried there, as is Col. LeRoy Reeves, the designer of the Tennessee state flag; Sam R. Sells, who served as 1st District congressman from 1911-1922; and May Ross McDowell, the first woman to serve as Johnson City’s mayor.

Today In Johnson City History: May 10

May 10, 1867: The East Tennessee Union Flag gave readers a weather prediction: “We have had an abundance of rain in the last few days. If it is true that a certain amount of rain falls every year, we shall have an excessive drought during the coming summer, for the present year has surely received its compliment quickly.” The East Tennessee Union Flag was a newspaper published in Jonesborough, which was spelled that way on the masthead. However, it was spelled as both Jonesboro and Jonesboro’ inside of the newspaper. May 10, 1884: The Comet opined, “There are ten men in Johnson City who, standing on each other’s heads, would make a pyramid nearly sixty-two feet high, with the boot and shoe man the ‘bottom rail’, and the furniture man the ‘rider’, and the pyramid would taper from four feet in diameter at the base to a darning needle at the top.”
