State Sends
$31,300 For
School Repairs
A $31,328.64 check has been
received by the Chattooga Board
of Education from the State
School Building Authority as re
imbursement for roofing and
structural repairs at five county
schools.
This was the total cost of the
repair project.
Buildings involved were those
which had been faultily erected
under the State School Building
Authority program some years
ago . They were Summerville
Elementary, Pennville, Menlo,
Holland and CHS cafeteria.
Earlier this year, the county
.bpard received $84,017 from the
state as reimbursement for re
pairs made to the heating sys
tem at Summerville Elementary.
These repairs were authorized at
state expense because the heat
ing system did not function
properly in the state-financed
structure.
Contractors for the two proj
ects were paid out of the school
bond account, School Supt.
James Spence stated, and when
the state checks were received
they were put into the bond
account, leaving that account at
its original status.

DAUGHTER, 100-YEAR-OLD MOTHER— Mrs. Maggie
Hunter (left) chats at the bedside of her mother, 100-
year-old Mrs. Sally Burgess. Mrs. Burgess resides with
Mrs. Hunter at 300 Rossville Blvd., Trion. Both women
worked for years in cotton mills.
Trion Woman
100 Years Old
A Trion woman is apparently the oldest person in
Chattooga County.
Mrs. Sally Burgess was 100 years old on October 30,
says her daughter, Mrs. Maggie Hunter, with whom she
lives at 300 Rossville Blvd.
“She was born two years after
the Confederate War started,”
says Mrs. Hunter.
Mrs. Burgess has been com
pletely bedridden since suffering
a broken hip several years ago,
and she also suffers from arth
ritis. But she is alert and pres
ently has enough strength to sit
up in bed without any support.
She enjoys company and sees
well, wearing neither glasses nor
dentures. But she was “real sick”
recently, says Mrs. Hunter.
The 100-year-old woman
worked for years in the cotton
mill at Trion, as did her 72-year
old daughter. Mrs. Burgese, H-na
tive of Morgan County, worked
also at Birmingham and Pell
City, Ala. in mills.
Her husband was killed in 1907
when he and another man fell
from a “bluff” at Trion.
The Burgesses had five chil
dren, but only three grew to
adulthood. Mrs. Hunter has a
brother, Smith Burgess, at Jack
sonville, Ala.
The daughter has nine chil
dren, one of whom lives with her
and Mrs. Burgess. He is T. J.
Hunter. Mrs. Hunter herself has
been a widow for 38 years.
Mrs. Hunter says her mother
has always lived with her and
she would like to continue keep
ing her. But because of her own
ill health she would like to admit
her to a nursing home.
“I’m just not able to care for
her properly,” says Mrs. Hunter,
“because I have a ruptured disc
in my back. I’d miss her so much
if I could put her into a home
but it’d be better for her.”
Mrs. Hunter says she isn’t fi
nancially able, however. The
monthly check which Mrs. Bur
gess receives just won’t cover the
cost and there isn’t enough
money from other sources to do
it, says her daughter.
In the meantime, Mrs. Burgess
sits or lies on her bed, some-
