History
It was 1909, and horse drawn buggies kicked up dust in the then-infant town of Etowah. With the Great Smoky Mountains as a backdrop, a new railroad depot became center stage for the drama of people arriving to find their roles in life. Harless Hugh Blair was born that year into a farm family just outside Etowah, a town that opened its arms to those who could work for themselves. As a young man, he raised chickens and cows, chopped wood, wore dirty bib overalls. It wasn't always easy. But as Etowah grew, so did Harless Hugh. He married Mattie, became a butcher. Others may have stuck with the parts they'd found to play in life. Harless Hugh, though, wanted more.
