I grew up on Stones River in Halls Hill, Tennessee...the feeder for
Percy Priest Lake. The memories of my gandfather and me fishing that
river at the old mill pond are my fondest! My love for fishing started
then, and has never faded. Thanks for the memories!

No, I think it was Allsup, or Wrights Mill, but was torn down years ago,
and the dam is pretty well gone. Was down there last year, but didn't
get a chance to fish any. I sold 40 acres on Stones River years
back...sure wish I had of kept it now .

No, I think it was either the Allsup or Wrights mill, not sure. It was
torn down years ago, and the mill dam is pretty much gone. I went
through there last year, but didn't get to fish any. I sold 40 acres on
the Stones River many years ago....wish I had of kept it now.

QUIT!! Y'all are making me homesick with this discussion. I caught
lotsa fish from that beautiful old dam site in the 70s. Here's a link
to a couple of photos of it on my family web site. (Feel free to poke
around the site.)

BTW, there is an ageless and ongoing debate between locals about
whether it's "Stone", "Stones", or "Stone's" River--there are roadside
marker signs with all 3 variants!

Thanks for the pictures Guy...yep, that's the mill that I loved back as
a kid, went by it every day to school. Up the road a little is the old
Ed Kerr store, falling down now, but still a memory! Did you know any of
the Christians that lived in Halls Hill?

No, but I knew a Lisa Kerr--used to go bicycling with her.

Nice Pics!

Everything that I've ever seen regarding the name states "Stones River".
Never heard of it called anything else.

Well I asked mom, and she said it was just called the old Halls Hill
Mill, but at one time the Wrights owned it, so mght have been called
that at one time. I showed her the picture you took Guy, and she wanted
a copy if you didn't mind. If it's o.k. I'll print it out?
Thanks,
John

Of course you can, and I am delighted that she wants it! However, the
photo I posted on the family web site is reduced in size and
resolution. If you wish, I will send you the full size original as an
email attachment--it will have more detail and will print out better.
Just let me know.
