Looking Back

1970 Car Ad

On this week's Looking Back segment, I'm going to drop back a few years, back to 1970. This was the county's centennial year. Aside from all the regular news of 1970, this issue includes a 108 page Centennial Special Edition put together jointly by the Loudon County Herald and the Lenoir City News Banner.  The Centennial Edition contains an enormous amount of historical information about everything Loudon County, the cities, schools, churches, etc. One of the stories is a detailed report of the only legal hanging in Loudon County that took place on the Courthouse grounds in 1883, Page A9.

I went ahead and linked up the Centennial edition separately.

Below are the links.
