Bryan THOMAS restrores Atchley Cemetery, 1991 
In the Smoky Mountain Historical Society "NEWSLETTER" Summer of 1991
(Volume VVII, No. 2, Page 33)
The SMHS is pleased to commend Bryan THOMAS for his work in restoring the Atchley Cemetery on the R.A. KYKER property on Alder Branch Road. The project was undertaken by Mr. THOMAS as a community service oroject as a final requirement for his Egle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
Mr. THOMAS spent 100 hours clearing debris, resetting the stones, tilling and seeding the area, and erecting a protective fence and gate. He funded the project by collectiong and selling aluminum cans. To ensure futher care for the cemetery Mr. THOMAS has arranged for a neighbor to mow and maintain it.
SMHS President Larry Fox, in noting Mr. THOMAS's excellent work, said "...this project reflects very favorably upon yourself and the Boy Scouts of America, and it is with great pleasure the SMHS commends you and your initiative, determination, preserverence and accomplishment...."End of ISAAC, 1 ATCHLEY Chapter.

"My Grandfather was THOMAS ATCHLEY. ISAAC ATCHLEY was my father.
My father had three great big well-built log houses, as nice as any. My brother ROBERT S. ATCHLEY had a big two-story log house. In those early days, each helped the other. All helped one and we had good times. When a man wanted to build a house or a barn, or to clear a field, on the day appointed the men came and had a "log-rolling." The women got meals and had "quilting bees."
The young folks had good times, too. Indoor parties, out-of-door fun and games. In the springtime, trips into the beautiful rhododendron- covered hills where dogwood bushes and many other lovely wild flowers bloomed.
In the fall we had nut-gathering parties. Wild grapes were plentiful. Sometimes they had "corn-shuckings" at the different homes, and "pea-hullings."
Those were good times as well as busy times. Each helped the other. All helped by bearing one another's burdens in those days. Shoes where scarce, and we valued them. Sometimes in the summer, young folks would carry their new shoes as far as the branch near the church, then wash their feet and put on their shoes to go into the Church."
