Subject: [TNCOCKE-L] N.E.W. Stokely - Baptist Seminary Founder
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 17:46:05 EDT

Hi,

I am starting research on my great-grandfather's side of the family. I found
a reference to him on the Cocke Co Genweb site: "In 1885 a Baptist Seminary
was opened under the care of N.E.W. Stokely."

Does anyone have any information or can point me to a source that might have
details on this Seminary? Or N.E.W. Stokely. I'm told he was both a
newspaperman ('N.E.W.S.!") and a teacher; that he invented his own form of
shorthand and ran a business school (the Baptist Seminary was news to me).

Thanks for any clues or info.
