Jessie Campbell Carpenter’s Obituary Collection

December 7, 2016 by Reno

A great part of history is the people who lived it, and the basics of a person can be found in his or her obituary. Over about 40 years Jessie Carpenter clipped and saved the death notices of Cliffside folk (116 in all) and her granddaughter, Linda Webster Poteat (since deceased), shared them with us. You can select specific names of the deceased from an index or browse through the 31 pages of Cliffside’s past. Start here, with Jessie’s own story.

The Cliffside Clock Tower

Our town clock was installed in 1920, and for over half a century tolled the quarter hours from atop the R. R. Haynes Memorial Building. When the building was razed in the late 1970s this new tower for the old timepiece was erected on the site of Mr. Haynes' original Cliffside home. Although the property of the county, the Cliffside Historical Society has assumed responsibility for maintaining this beloved antique.
