Brownlow Amerine 14. Sarah Jane Nuchols

b. 5 Jul 1854 in Blount County, Tennessee. She died 20 Jun 1907 in Alcott, Kingman County, Kansas, and was buried in Turon Cemetery, Turon, Reno County, Kansas. Sarah married 13 Feb 1873 in Blount County, Tennessee, Brownlow Rogers Amerine, (son of Richard Wesley Amerine and Sorena Jane Wells). He was born 19 Apr 1852 in Blount County, Tennessee, and died 8 Feb 1933 in Alcott, Miami Township, Kansas. Brownlow was buried in Turon Cemetery, Turon, Reno County, Kansas. Olcott was a small settlement in Miami Township, 3 miles east and 3-1/2 miles south of Turon.

    Brownlow Rogers Amerine and wife Sarah Jane Nuchols (Sallie) Amerine came to Kansas in a covered wagon in 1883, settling on a farm near Olcott. Kansas (1 mile south, 1/2 west of Olcott). (3 miles west, I mile north.1/2 west of Penalosa, Kansas) in Reno County. They had three children. They came with an uncle, Lonnie Wells and his family. I got this date from Granddad Amerine's obituary. Gertie was born December 25, 1881 in Tenn; Rade in Olcott, Kansas, on September 20. 1884. He was the first one born after they came to Kansas.
   Lonnie Wells was Brownlow Rogers' uncle, a brother to his mother Sobrena Jane Wells Amerine.
    Lonnie (Loney), don't know just how it is spelled, they lived on the corner there where Bill and Polly Oswalt live now. I talked to Aunt Mae the other evening to see if she remembered if Grandmother had the sickness she always called Erysipelas, before they came to Kansas or after. She also had something that caused her not to be able to walk. I can remember her telling about being carried around in a little rocking choir. When she did start to walk she walked on her ankle bones; she said that's also what caused her to be so bow-legged. Aunt Mae doesn't remember. but Daddy says he's pretty sure it was after they came to Kansas. I know she wasn't very old.
   She could have been 9 months old when they left Tennessee, for Aunt Mae says they went to Alabama first. Grandad Amerinels brother Richard, lived there. She thinks they lelt Tennessee in the spring, stayed in Alabama that summer and came to Kansas in the fall. But if Grandmother was 9 months old, she wouldn't have been a year old yet until December 1882. They might have gone to Alabama when she was 9 months old (that would have been last of September or first of October, 18820, spent the winter in Alabama and then came to Kansas the next year sometime in 1883. 1 can't imagine them starting out on a trip that far in the fall. for a trip like that took weeks. Daddy thinks they left Tennessee when they came to Kansas, so maybe they went back to Tennessee to leave with Lonnie Wells. Just wish I'd written this all down years ago; and I can't remember Grandmother saying they came from Alabama. always got the impression they left from Maryville, Tennessee. I have a note I wrote: "Grandmother said when they crossed the river, as they were coming in the covered wagon to Kansas. one of the mules jumped off the ferry and almost drowned". Note also says "Uncle Lonnie Wells and family came with them to Kansas." Written by Vera Wardel

15. John Davis Nuchols

b. 8 May 1868 in Wellstown, Blount County, Tennessee. He died 31 Dec 1932 in Benton, Polk County, Tennessee, and was buried in Benton Cemetery, Polk County, Tennessee. John married 27 Dec 1892 in Blount County, Tennessee, Lossie Dora Barnhill, (daughter of Terrence C. Barnhill and Eliza Jane Harvey). She was born 10 May 1875 in Blount County, Tennessee. Lossie died 15 Apr 1955 in Benton, Polk County, Tennessee, and was buried in Benton Cemetery, Polk County, Tennessee.

    After graduation from Maryville College, he attended medical classes and lectures at the University of Tennessee. In the summer of 1896 he completed his courses and went to Concord, Tennessee, where he started his practice of medicine. While there, he met Lossie Barnhill and they were married.
    He came back to Blount County and lived in his mother's home near Union School for a few months in 1899. He and his wife and son moved to Benton, Tennessee, Polk County, in December. John began a practice that lasted for 33 years. He was known as a very successful doctor for a small town. He died of Pneumonia.
    Dr. Nuchols was active in politics and was a staunch Democrat of his day. He was also interested in better education for Polk County and worked very hard for the high school built around 1914. His son, Charles Samuel, was one of the first graduating class in 1915, consisting of three. Dr John and Mary Anne were active members of First Baptist Church, where she was Sunday School teacher and organist for years. John had some small farms near Benton, Tennessee, in his later years, with agriculture being one of his sidelines, but he remained active in his practice of medicine until his death.

Tennessee, The Volunteer State, 1769-1923, Vol. 2
    A well known member of the medical profession in Benton is Dr. John David Nuchols, who was born in Blount county on the 25th of May, 1868, a son of Richard and Mary (Davis) Nuchols. His paternal grandparents were Thomas and Sarah Nuchols of Virginia, and his maternal grandparents were William and Rachel Davis, natives of Waynesville, North Carolina. The father was born in 1832 and was justice of the peace of Blount county for many years, holding that office until the Union forces took charge of the district during the Civil war. His demise occurred in 1893 and came as a severe shock to all who knew him. He was one of the prominent Masons of his day.
    The public schools of Blount county afforded John David Nuchols his early [p.554] education and subsequently he enrolled in Maryville College. Upon the completion of his literary course he took up the study of medicine, having formed a penchant for that profession in boyhood. He became a student in the Tennessee Medical College and was graduated from that institution with the M. D. degree in 1890. For the first year after receiving his degree he practiced in Concord, Tennessee, and then removed to La Veta, Colorado, where he practiced for a like period. At the end of that time he returned to his native state and practiced in Maryville from 1895 to 1900, but in the latter year came to Benton, Polk county, Tennessee, where he has since resided. He enjoys an extensive and representative patronage and in addition to his private practice is serving as county physician, the duties of which office he has discharged for the past twelve years. He is a director of the Benton Banking Company.
    In Maryville on the 27th of January, 1892, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Nuchols and Miss Lossie D. Barnhill, a daughter of Terrence and Eliza Barnhill. To their union two children have been born: Charles S., whose birth occurred in 1897; and John B., born in 1903.
    Dr. Nuchols votes with the democratic party, having firm belief in the principles of that party as factors in good government. Fraternally he is a Master Mason, and his religious faith is manifest in his attendance at the Baptist church. Along strictly professional lines he holds membership in the County Medical Society.
In the Thursday, May 14, 1925 edition of the Maryville Times, was the following:

Bismarck Daily Tribune 16 October 1911 - The initiation of Judge Nuchols was one of the great matters of interest.

Bismarck Daily Tribune 13 January 1912 - Builders of the Commonwealth by Col Ben G Whitehead-Judge Samuel L Nuchols A decade counts for much in the great northwest, where a man is measured for what he is more than for what he has, and the career of Judge Nuchols has proven that the people were quick to recognize his fitness for the leadership which he has never abused. Judge Nuchols is a native of Tennessee, where he was educated in the law. He came to North Dakota and located in Mandan and from the first he found that success which will attend men of character and strength as well as ability. Within ten years of his coming here, Judge Nuchols was called to the district bench, and there too, he immediately displayed the qualities which have endeared him to those who have known him intimately. Learned in the law, a man of wide experience and great intelligence, he has taken a high place among the juditiary of the state , and the men of North Dakota are looking toward the gentleman from Morton for a great judicial career. The absolute honesty of this strong man , readerd in the atmosphere of the Hermitage and profiting by the traditions which surround that historic spot, has made the people of not only of his district, but of the state at large, applaud the work that he is doing. He gave up a large law practice to go upon the bench, and the people appreciate his sacrifice. Judge Nuchols was from earliest manhood deeply interested in the military life of his native state and that interest attended his life in North Dakota. His proficiency was such, and his character so commended that he was made judge advocate general of the state militia with the rank of colonel, and his every duty was discharged in a way that would have brought pride to his old comrades in the southland. Judge Nuchols was married at Knoxville, Tenn in 1902 to Miss Minnie Vance and three children have come to them. Judge Nuchols was city attorney of Manden for six years.(Photo)

In the early days of the 1900s, there was plenty moonshine still to be made, and a lot of country people making it. Ed was one of these, whether for sale, or just recreation, I just don't know. In July, 1924, Ed had some whiskey at stored at the old home place, and decided to have a nip, but when he went to get it, there was none there. Right away, he knew in his mind who the culprit was. Benjamin Steele! It was said that Ed said out loud, " I ought to kick his tail", or something to that effect, and proceded to do just that. Now Ed drove a Model "T", and he went to Ben's place, where he was greeted as he got out of the car by Ben himself. It is said that Ed told Ben he came for his whiskey. Ben told Ed that he had better not come up to the house, and had a .22 caliber rifle with him. Ed told Ben that he was coming anyway, and as he got closer to the house, Ben shot him, again and again. Still, with determination, Ed got to the house, entered, and laid down putting his head in Ben's wife's lap, and died there. Ben told that he shot Ed in self defense, as it very well could have been, since Ed was coming after his whiskey that Ben had taken from him. There was a trial in Blount County, and Ben was found Not Guilty.
