Today In Johnson City History: May 14

May 14, 1869: The Union Flag reported, “In this place on the 11th inst., Mrs. Dennis, aged 35 yrs. Daughter of Dr. J.C. Cossen, deceased.” As used here, “inst”, was a term used to mean “In the same month”, so this meant that Mrs. Dennis had passed away on May 11, 1869. The Union Flag was a newspaper published in Jonesborough, which was spelled that way at the time. May 14, 1903: The Chattanooga News, with a Johnson City dateline, reported on a near-riot in Johnson City. “Johnson City has had a narrow escape from a serious riot. The trouble originated in a fight on the midway. ‘Buss’ Hale, a well known character of this place, became involved in a difficulty with Joseph A. Sanborn, an attaché of one of the carnival shows. As a result Hale stabbed the showman, the knife inflicting a painful wound near the heart which is about four inches long and two inches deep.”
