April 17, at her home on Walnut Creek Road. Mrs. J. L. Baker reviewed "Hearts" by Thomas Thompson, staff writer for Life Magazine. "Hearts" Is the true story of two of the world's most exhilarating and egotistical heart surgeons Dr. Michael Ellis DeBakey and Dr. Denton Arthur Cooley. Dr. DeBakey came first to Houston, Texas one of the proteges who stood at his operating table was Denton Cooley. In a short time the two transformed a Houston hospital into the cardiovascular surgical center of the world. When they became world leaders in transplants. However, these iwo master surgeons became embroiled in an unforgiving falling-out that split and shocked their colleagues everywhere. Today each commands his own heart center, his own staff, his own patients an ironical 100 yards from each other. Two hospitals, two doctors pitted against each other. Dr. DeBakey is at Methodist Hospital and Dr. Cooley at St. Luke's Hospital. Mrs. Baker dealt lightly with the backgrounds of the doc tors Dr. DeBakey is from a Lebanese immigrant family in Lake Charles, La. and Dr. Cooley is the son of a wealthy dentist in Houston. The miracle of the advances in heart tran splant make the work of these men highly exciting. Since the first heart transplant in December 1967, there have been 188 transplants performed worldwide including the latest which was March 8, 1972. 121 of these were done in the United States. To date, there are 29 survivors, and three have lived for forty-two months. Of personal interest to the group is the fact that Mrs Cooley was a classmate of Mrs. Baker at Johns Hopkins School of nursing at a time when Dr. Cooley was a surgical resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Members present were Mrs. W. T. McKinney, Mrs. R. R. Ramsey, Mrs. James Story, Mrs. John Corbett, Mrs. J. L. McFJroy, Mrs. Clyde Roberts, Mrs. Walter Ramsey, Mrs. Paul Dinwiddie, Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Huey. Engagement Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Marshbanks of Weaverville announce the engagement of their daughter, Cathy Louise, to Doyle Peek, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herchel Peek of Mars Hill.

History of Walnut Reviewed By Historical Society The Madison County Historical Society met on Saturday, April 15, at noon, at the Walnut Presbyterian Church. Following a brief business meeting, with Dr. Evelyn Underwood presiding, those present shared in formation on the early history of Walnut. Mrs. E. O. Burnette introduced Mrs. Carrie Hen derson Ramsey who told of her life in Walnut at the turn of the century. The name was changed from Duel Hill to Jewel Hill then when the postofficewas established in 1902, the name was changed to Walnut. Jacob M. Ramsey was the first postmaster. "Miss Carrie" has the distinction of being the first graduate of Bell Institute, the Presbyterian school established in 1889 on the site of the present Presbyterian church. By 1903 five other names were added to the list of graduates: Clifford S. Crain, Ben W. Gahagan, Baxter E. Guthrie, Daniel T. Haynie, and Edgar M. Ramsey. Mrs. Pearl T. Ammons of Mars Hill, a 1916 graduate of Bell Institute, paid tribute to the devout and distinguished teachers of that lime, noting that in addition to conventional subjects, Bible, Music and Sewi were a part of the daily sch dule of study. Mrs. Ammons sid that it was at this school tht! she learned the dignity of work everyone worked. Mrs. Queen Ramsey Brown, daughter of Jacob M. Ramsey, told of the store her father and Charlie Nichols operated in Walnut. This was a general store and most of the goods handled came by rail to Bar nard then by wagon to the store. Pensioners received their checks every three months, and credit was extended to this group for the three-month period. On the day the checks arrived, pensioners came in to pay up and usually spent the day visiting and shopping. Mrs. Brown told of the first bakery bread received from a Knox ville bakery. The shipment was immediately sold out and a rush order was made to the bakery to fdl the demand and she was sent to Barnard to meet the train in the wagon. Mrs. Brown described the excellent telephone service enjoyed throughout the area at this time. Walnut had a drug store and a practicing physician at the turn of the century. Dr. Andrew McDevitt had offices over the drug store, and in addition to serving the medical needs of the area, he was known to dismount from his horse to administer punishment if he came upon youngsters in the community who were misbehaving. Parents would call him up to thank him for this service upon hearing of it. In 1851 the property for the present United Methodist Church was given by the Farnsworth family for the building of the church. The church is a landmark and still occupies an important place in the lives of the people of the community. It was built under the direction of Mr. Loyd Honeycutt. Mrs. Pauline R. Ditmore, daughter of R. S. Ramsey who was sheriff of Madison County in the early part of the 1900s recalled hearing her father say SIGN Mail Boxes Lettered$1.50per side. 5 Re-painted & Lettered j Signs Painted : Plain and Fancy Lettering illustrated Signs i Sho-Cards Engraving Barnard Rod - that there was seldom any trouble in the Walnut com munity requiring his attention. Mrs. Ditmore also pointed out the natural beauty of the setting of the community and the geographic advantage as the center of the county. Additional Information will be added as study continues on this community. Outstanding success as an educational center, hotel and tourist center and a crossroads for a moun tainous area of the county make it a unique settlement. An important product is the kind of citizen typical of the area and the contribution each has made to the development of the county.
