Along .with his unusual tonsorial
capabilities, Thomas Gemmell had
other things that made him different
from the ordinary mortal. He had a
double set of teeth all around and
never knew what it was to have a
toothach'e until he was seventy-five
years old: We understand that he
did not take very kindly to that `h—o'

David' Gemmell vas a man who
never started a fight in his 'life', but
could give a first-rate•account of him-
self if anyone else started, one....The
story is •still told inTuckersmith
about the time Dave Gemmell put the
two would-be.•robbers in rout in the
black dark of his kitchen. He had
gone' down cellar 1.o get his villain-
ous visltors soruethtug.to 'eat, and the
first intimation he' had that there was
'anything wrong was when- a stick of
firewood came hurtling down the
stairs,. If this was meant to frighten
him, the robbers had• made the mis-
take of their lives: -Dave bounded up
the- stairs -and the first thing he did
was blow out the lamp:- Fighting- on
familiar ground, Dave marked the
robbers up so thoroughly that the
police had no trouble picking them
up next day.

In 1935 'David Gemmell decided that
a new house was in order and pro-
ceeded to 'build the fine brick home
now. on this farm. The bricks came
from Cookeville; Sam- Wallace was
the bricklayer, and Robert Porterfield
and Frank Lament were the carpen-
ters. Mr. Racine did the cement
work. It was erected on the same
site as• the old house. But' this Use-
ful life was destined to come to a
tragic' end., While -shingling the barn
in that year of 1935, Dave Gemmell
fell from it and was fatally hurt. He
