| 1966 | Deaths of Reese and Benjamin Bowers We have been unable to obtain the date, or many of the particulars of this tragedy. They were the sons of Rev. Valentine Bowers, who was an old and highly respected Baptist minister. They had two brothers, William C. and Joseph P. Bowers. Reese Bowers was a Baptist minister at one time. The father and sons were all Union men. Reese and Benjamin were very active in the Union cause and assisted in piloting Union men and refugees to Ellis. On the day previous to their death they received word from L. W. Hampton, a prominent Union man of the Doe River Cove, that there were some refugees near his home who were wanting a man to pilot them. These men had some experience in that line and left their homes in what was called the Neck, crossed the mountain to a point on the Watauga river near the Fish Spring, intending to go from there to Mr. Hampton's. They requested a woman, Mrs. Smith, to set them across the river in a canoe. A company of rebel soldiers had made a raid down in the vicinity of Elizabethton, and were returning just as the Bowers' got across the river. The latter seeing them started to run, when the soldiers opened fire on them as they ran towards the hills near by; the soldiers pursued them and overtook them. It was told to us that the elder Bowers, Reese, prayed and begged for his life, while Benjamin fought and cursed them with his dying breath; but the fate of each was the same. We have heard different stories as to who killed these men, one that they were killed by the Johnson county home guards under Parker, but their cousin, Isaac Bowers, now a resident of Elizabethton, and whose character for truth is unquestionable, informs us that they were killed by Bozen's men, and that he recognized a pistol taken from them by Motte, whom we have mentioned as having been connected with a number of other tragedies. | Bowers, Benjamin (I2390)

| 2000 | Delores (Dee) Cable Tester, age 95, Lakeview Drive, Butler, passed away peacefully at Lakebridge Healthcare Center, Johnson City on March 14, 2010, at 11:30AM. Dee was a native and life-long resident of Butler until January 2009 when she became a resident at Lakebridge. She was born October 10, 1914, and spent her youth in the Sugar Grove community and had lived in the Midway community since 1936. She was a daughter of the late William and Ella Anderson Cable. Dee was devoted to her family throughout her life. Her greatest joy came when the family 'got-together' on her birthday and at Christmas. One of those memorial occasions came on her 80th birthday when every member of her family was present at a surprise birthday party. In return her family was totally devoted to her. She did not spend a single day in the fourteen months at Lakebridge without at least one family member present. She will be greatly missed by her entire family and her many friends. Dee was a homemaker and worked at various jobs. Additionally she was a mother to her children and a second mother to many other community children. Dee was a loyal member of Midway Baptist Church for over seventy years. She loved and supported many programs in the church including missions. She supported her community and beyond. She loved people, animals and flowers. She gave homes to dogs, cats and goats and worked among her pretty flowers as long as she could. Just recently, Dee said, "I believe God allowed me to live this long because deep in my heart I have a great love for every person." Dee was proudest of being a Christian woman and of her membership in Midway Baptist Church. A sad part of her life happened in 1948 when the TVA permanently flooded her home place along the Watauga River. Her father's family had lived there for over one hundred and fifty years. Dee was extremely fond of her pioneering ancestors and throughout her life she exhibited pioneer spirit. She remembered and told vividly many stories of her childhood in the river valley and on the hills surrounding it. Dee was predeceased by her husband, the love of her life, Luke Tester in 1967, her father, William, in 1930, her mother, Ella, in 1940, an infant son, Robert Lee Tester in 1942 and her seven siblings: Nettie Main, Dewey Cable, Annie Irick Conway, Verdie Potter, Ordie Potter, Alma Ward and Alta Triplett, by a special son-in-law, Chalmas Laws. Dee is survived by her children and their spouses: daughter, Charlene Laws Moretz, Dry Hill; son, Charles Herman Tester and wife Nancy, Sulphur Springs; daughter, Juanita Wilson and husband Jack, Hunter; daughter, Carolyn Wagner and husband Bob, Bluffton, SC; daughter, Pat Icenhour, Mountain City; son, Steven Tester, Midway; and by grandchildren and spouses, Doug and wife Peggy Laws, Brent and wife Jeri Laws, Randall and wife Denise Laws, Rob and wife Diana Tester, Roland Tester, Mike Wilson, Danny and wife Jennifer Wilson, Todd and wife Jeanette Wagner, Tammy and husband Jim Mellott, Tracy and husband Mark Jones, Kim and husband Kevin Hayworth, Sam and wife Deena Icenhour, Billy and wife Jennifer Icenhour and Taylor Tester; and by great grandchildren, Tim, Greg, Cristi, Misty, Louise, Emma, Leah, Lukas, Wyeth, Eli, Abby, Nick, Megan, Zack, Conner, Samuel, Bud, Rhiannon and Ryleigh; and by great-great grandchildren, Amber and Abby; and by brothers-in-law, Howard Tester, Morristown and Turner Triplett, Johnson City; sisters-in-law, Ruth Jones and Marjorie Tester, Johnson City; and by fifteen nieces and nephews; and by lifetime friend and neighbor, Ruby Wagner and special friends, Lorene Tester, Jesse Wagner, Rhonda Michini and Trenton and Kay Davis.
