This house was built in 1910 by Russell Clayton Dubberly, first married to Dicy Easterling who died in 1913, then to her cousin in 1914. In 1917, they sold the house to Burley Beasley, brother of the crooked banker/politician John C. Beasley. The Beasleys lived here until 1947, when it was purchased by Mr. Jack Rimes, Sr. for a home and mortuary. The Rimes family operated the funeral home for 59 years and greatly served the community. The building is now home to Brannen-Kennedy Funeral Home.

Your photos are great. Thank you so much for posting and providing so much information. John "Duffy" Roger's was my great-grandfather. My mother was Lucy Rogers Kemp, sister of TH "Buster" Rogers. I grew up in Glennville, graduated Glennville High in 1980 and move away. For a breif time in the early 70's we rented the Hughes house behind the old Central Pharmacy. So your photos hit home.
Thank you for posting. -Jackie Kemp Frye

Most visitors come to the Smokies hoping to see a bear. Some 1,500 bears live in the park. From the big animals like bears, deer, and elk, down to microscopic organisms, the Smokies have the most biological diversity of any area in the world’s temperate zone. great smoky mountains national park

You're most welcome.

I'm descended from him too, although I from the son who returned to England after the rest of the family had emigrated to Virginia.

The old man who currently lives there is not hostile to visitors, but speaks no English, so it's difficult if you don't speak good French, but he's very aware of the Fontaines and their history / ownnership of the estate.
