Spanish American War Veteran.

Maryville Times, 1 Nov 1893 "The crowd landed in the place known as Jeffrey's Hell

after a two-day journey, about 15 or 20 miles of which had to be traveled on foot as a

team could not be taken into the mountains. A deer drive was the program for the first

day and this resulted in the killing of two deer and quite an assortment of squirrel and

mountain "boomers." (chipmunks/ground squirrels) There is an immense amount of

valuable timber in these mountains. There are cherry trees--so the crowd says--six

 

feet through and from sixty to seventy-five feet to the first limb. Any amount of yellow

poplar, spruce pine and ash. One curly ash was seen that was estimated as being

worth five hundred dollars, if it could be gotten out of there.When one gets to the

bottom of Jeffrey's Hell, it looks like it would be impossible to get out again. But after

staying there and breathing good pure mountain air for six days, it made the crowd

able to climb almost as well as do the little boomers and they were able to easily walk

the distance back to the teams. It can be sworn to however that some of them were

rather sore for several days after reaching home.

Question: Where would Jeffrey's Hell be located?

Between Tellico Plains, TN and Citico, TN, in the Smoky Mountains. I am not sure, but

think it is on the NC side of the mountains, Probably very near the road from Tellico

Plains to Robbins, NC" This Jaffery's Hell was where John Helms and Emily Olive

Helms lived and carved a living during the 1930's.

Madisonville Democrat, Wednesday, November 8, 1944, Page 1:
