Hamby, Luther

Luther Hamby, 65, who served as a member of the Hamilton County quarterly court from 1928 until 1941, died yesterday at his home in Ooltewah from a heart ailment. The former justice of the peace had been in failing health for the past three years.  Friday he was too ill to report for work and went to bed.  The end came yesterday morning as the former justice of the peace attempted to sit up on the side of his bed and drink a glass of water. At his death Hamby was an employee of the William L. Bork Memorial hospital. He had been working at the hospital for several weeks and prior to that service he was a night guard at the Silverdale (ink spot over last part of name) Workhouse. A native of Ooltewah, Mr. Hamby was born March 11, 1880.  In his early manhood the former squire operated a farm in the Ooltewah area.  About 30 years ago he quit the farming business and opened a grocery in Ooltewah. He remained in the mercantile business for some 15 years. A Republican, Mr. Hamby has taken an active interest in local politics for many years.  At first, he was active in the politics of what formerly was James County.  And when James County was annexed to Hamilton County, he then took an interest in Hamilton County politics.  In 1928 he made his first race for a Hamilton County office.  The late W. O. Watts resigned as justice of the peace from what was then the Fourth civil district and Hamby became a
candidate to succeed him.  He defeated the Democratic nominee, A. K. Poe, and became a member of the Hamilton County quarterly court.  He was
re-elected for a full six-year term in 1930 and re-elected in 1936.  For most of his career in the county court Mr. Hamby supported the administration of former County Judge Will Cummings.  But in 1939 he joined five other members of the court to rebel against the Cummings administration and voted to elect Marshall Clark as superintendent of the school system over the then incumbent, forer Supt. Arthur L. Rankin. The Ooltewah squire remained in the "rebel" ranks of the court after that time and voted with a group that styled itself as the "Big Six" consistently until his political fortunes turned in the race for seats in the Tennessee
general assembly of 1941 from Hamilton County.  The issue in that campaign was the abolition of the justice of the peace system of government, as well as courts, and the substitution there for of the County Council and the general sessions court.  With the enactment of that legislation Hamby and his associates lost their political hold in the county.  Another bill, the redistricting act, was passed also in the 1941 session and that law abolished Hamby's district--the Fourth-and therefore his office. Since passing from the political scene in the county court with the 1941 enactments Mr. Hamby has lived rather quietly at his Ooltewah home but had been employed by the county for the past few years. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Ooltewah Baptist Church with the Revs. Fred Johnson and J. B. Tallent officiating. Active pallbearers will be A. C. Newton, Gene _____(ink spot), Bill Hall, Ed Rice, Arthur ______(ink spot), and George Wolfe.  Honorary pallbearers will be the member of the Ooltewah Men's Sunday School class. Mr. Hamby was a member and a deacon of the Ooltewah Baptist Church and the Masonic Lodge 741.  The Masons will have charge of ceremonies at the gravesite.  Interment will be in the Sylar Cemetery.
Surviving the former justice of the peace are his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Mabel Auburn of Ooltewah, four sons, Cpl. T. G. Hamby, who is with the army in Italy; Hoyt Hamby, who is with the army in China; J. E. Hamby of Tyner and Gus D. Hamby of Atlanta, Ga; three grandchildren, Jimmie Lou Auburn,
Mary Ann Hamby and John L. Hamby.

Enoch Hardin, 96, dies at his home

Lived to Be Last Veteran of Civil War in County

 Enoch K. Harding, 96, colorful character of the Grasshopper section, who, as a lad of 15 joined the Union Army and served in the Civil War during the last two years, died yesterday at his home in Birchwood. The deceased, who was noted as a gunsmith, was said to have lived to become the last veteran of the Civil War in Hamilton County. A one-time resident of Pikeville, Tenn., he was one of Tennessee’s most famous old-time gunmakers. Among the guns made by him was “Long Tom,” which was long a treasured possession of the late Walter Cline, a former Chattanooga photographer.

 He manufactured hundreds of rifles, many of which were constructed half a century or more ago. His guns were greatly in demand in their time because of the excellent material used in them and the correctness of the sight placements. Walter Cline captured first prize with “Long Tom” at a Rod and Gun Club shooting match in 1928. In addition to guns, Hardin made fiddles which he carved with a jackknife from cedarwood. When the deceased was visited by an Evening Times reporter Sept. 18, 1941, he was described by his oldest son, W. M. (Bill) Hardin, with whom he lived, as having spent most of his days in the Grasshopper section, around Pikeville and around Daisy. The son, who was then in his 70s, said he calculated his father was 97 on June 25, 1941, “from his birth date in my granddaddy’s old bible.” His eyesight and hearing were then fairly good.

 He is survived by two sons, Bill Hardin and John Hardin, both of Birchwood: seven daughters, Mrs. Lottie Phillips, East Chattanooga; Mrs. Lucy Eldridge, Alton Park; Mrs. Mattie Posey, East Lake; Mrs. Nancy Goins, East Chattanooga; Mrs. Jennie Gann, East Chattanooga; Mrs. Julie Davis, Highland Park, and Mrs. Hester Gan, Birchwood; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

 Funeral services will be held at the Grasshopper Holiness Church Saturday at 10 a. m., the Rev. Jimmie DeFriese of Birchwood officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

Hickey, Dr. Homer David 

Dr. Homer David Hickey, who as a physician, civic leader, and outdoors man made countless contributions to the enhancement of this city's quality of life, died December 29, 1988, in a Chattanooga hospital. Dr. Hickey was the founding president of the Brainerd Kiwanis Club and founder of the Brainerd Clinic on Brainerd Road, which he established in 1948 and operated until his retirement in 1980.  The clinic was the capstone of a medical career here that spanned nearly 50 years from 1934, with the exception of a four year tour of duty as a medical officer in General George Patton's Third Army in Europe during World War II.

Born in Cherokee County, N.C., Dr. Hickey and his parents, the late William Harrison and Laura Shearer Hickey, moved to Chattanooga when he was a young boy.  He graduated from Central High School in 1924 and attended Berea College in Berea, Ky., before going on to graduate from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences in Memphis. Upon receiving his M.D. degree in 1932, he returned to St. Joseph, MO, to serve an internship and then to Wayne County Hospital in Detroit, Mich., to serve a surgical residency.

Dr. Hickey began practicing in East Chattanooga in 1934 and joined Dr. J. Hamilton Taylor in practice at the Medical Arts Building. His wartime dream of building a clinic took shape in the spring of 1946 when he began construction on the Brainerd Clinic.  In addition to his busy clinical practice, he also served on the staffs of Erlanger, Memorial and Tri-County hospitals and was an active member of local, state, regional, and national medical associations. Dr. Hickey was charter and lifetime member of Brainerd Kiwanis club, which honored him in 1982 by endowing the $50,000 H. David Hickey Surgical Research Grant of the Chattanooga Surgical Foundation. Funds from this grant are awarded to deserving area surgeons for research and development of new surgical methods.  He was named the Kiwanis Club's Distinguished Citizen of Chattanooga in 1981. An active member of First Centenary United Methodist Church, Dr. Hickey had served on the church's administrative board and was a member of the Foster-Martin Sunday school class.  He was also a member and past president of the Wolftever Fishing Club.

Dr. Hickey was married to the former Marguerite Bacon, with whom he celebrated a 50th anniversary this past March 1 [1988].  Mrs. Hickey is well-known as a regional historian and energetic volunteer in women's civic efforts. Survivors also include his son, Dr. H. David Hickey, a urologist in Memphis; two grandchildren, Kimberley Curlette Hickey and Jon Paul Dietrich Hickey, Memphis; brother William T. Hickey, Chattanooga; sister, Roxie Hickey Suit, Miami, Fla.; several nieces and nephews.

Had Served Power Company for 43 Years and Was Head of Line Department

William James Hill, 57, resident of Chattanooga for half a century and superintendent of lines for the Tennessee Electric Power company, died at 5:55 o’clock Monday evening at his home, 203 Hill Crest, east of Missionary ridge. He had been sick for some time and had been critically ill for several days.

 Mr. Hill’s connection with the power board company began forty-three years ago. Although but a lad then, he evinced enthusiastic interest in electricity and its workings and set forth to learn all he could in this steadily expanding field. His ability was quickly recognized, and promotion came to him again and again.  For many years he had served as superintendent of lines. In this capacity he often braved danger, as it falls the lot of line crews to mend broken wires and do many other things which require both skill and care.  Mr. Hill was a veteran in the power ranks, esteemed by officials and employees, and ever ready to respond to a call, night or day.  Mr. Hill was a member of the Highland Park M. E. church, where he served as trustee. He was affiliated with Ridgedale lodge, No. 660, F. and A. M.; Chattanooga commandery, No. 32, Knights Templar; Alhambra temple, Shrine; Ridgedale chapter, No. 208, and the Elks. Surviving is his widow, two sons, E. C. and C. W. Hill; a daughter, Mrs. C. H. Hotalen, all of this city, and three brothers, R. H. Hill, of Cumberland, Md.; Herbert A. Hill of San Francisco, Cal., and Walter T. Hill, also of Cumberland, Md.

Mrs. Tempy Hixson, 90 died at her home at Mt. Airy, TN, at an early hour Monday.  Retaining all her faculties to a remarkable degree, she led and active life up until five months ago, caring for her home on the same farm where she was born and reared over three-quarters of a century ago.  She was a member of the Methodist Church for seventy-four years.  Her life was one of devotion to her home, church, and community.  During the Civil War, with only the aid of a black boy, she tended the crops while her babies slept in a fence corner with the faithful dog to watch them.  For more than thirty years after the war she was doctor and nurse for the whole community, often going many miles on dark, cold nights in answer to a call for help.  She was a good neighbor, and a friend to everyone, regardless of station, color, or creed.  She is survived by four children:  Mrs. R.
