SEVIERVILLE â For half a century furniture shoppers have made their way to downtown Sevierville to purchase a variety of decor to make their homes more livable.
Carl Hatcher Furniture on Court Avenue is celebrating 50 years of service in 2021. The store is currently owned by Carl Hatcherâs daughter and son-in-law, Becky and Marty Duncan.
Carl Hatcher started the store with his wife, Lucille, but was already in the furniture business with his brother prior to its opening.
âCarlâs brother, Rube, started Hatcher Furniture, and then it became Hatcher Brothers in the 60s,â Marty Duncan said. âIn 1970 they split, so in 1971 you had Carl Hatcher Furniture, and that was at this same location.â

Forgotten, and thus less-appreciated, in favor of turkey Thanksgiving (and even Christmas), ham has its day on Easter.
We mustn’t lose sight of what this cured beauty brings to the table, even if its gobbling counterpart reigns supreme on that Thursday late November, the turkey takes a backseat as each new spring dawns.
When the church bells ring, and people in pastels and seersucker hurry home, it’s often a giant ham that awaits them, ready for slicing, even if we don’t know the true answer to the question: Why do we eat ham on Easter?
