---------------------------------------------------------
William Forney Dotson (1860-1923) married Margaret Cynthia Dermid (1858-1953) in December 1885.
The Dotsons lived for a while in the Clear Creek section of this county.
There were six children, including Augusta Gertrude, who would later marry Noah Hollowell; Ethel Leilia, who married Albert Beck; William Grady; Effie Elizabeth, who married George Harris Camp, Jr.; and Quay Adolphus. The youngest was Margaret Catherine (Kate), who did not marry.
The Dotsons, at another time, lived in Hendersonville on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Church Street. Near Seventh Avenue (Anderson Street), on Main Street, stood the general grocery store of W. F. Dotson.
In later years, the Dotsons would move farther down Seventh Avenue to operate the Mountain City Inn, until it burned. In 1895, Forney bought a store building on Main Street and operated a harness and hardware store in that location (1920s). The family lived upstairs.
In more recent years the building downstairs was occupied by Cal’s Home and Auto Supply. The Black Rose Public House occupies the space today.
Upstairs was the spacious apartment of Miss Kate Dotson, who taught piano and served as organist for the First United Methodist Church for 30 years.
Ethel (1888-1974) would later marry Albert Beck (1888-1950) and together they would have four children, three sons and one daughter. One of the sons was named William Carroll.
“Bill” Beck married Dorothy Johns (1921-2006) and that union produced two daughters, Carole and Cecilia. Cecilia married Dr. Michael Jones and Carole married my brother, David Rickman Orr (now deceased).
Bill Beck owned and operated the old Justus Pharmacy. He made Flat Rock’s “Tranquility” his home, after completing needed restoration.
Recently, I visited with Carole in her home in Statonwood and she gave me a handwritten family history written by her grandmother, Ethel Dotson Beck, probably written during the early 1950s. It begins: “I was born on December 31, 1888.”
Ethel remembers early years growing up in the Clear Creek section where she was born: “Along the way to Ebenezer we would pass the home of grandparents L. M and Elizabeth Dermid; also the old Allen place. The home was located about three miles from Hendersonville near the Ebenezer Church where my grandparents George and Margaret Allen are buried.”
Ethel describes her family home as she remembers: “I love it still today as it was my first home. It had a big fireplace in the front room, bedrooms, too. There was a large dining room and kitchen combined. Our home had a back and front porch.”
Mrs. Beck questions memory: “Someone has said we do not remember anything before three years of age. This is not always true.” She recalls with vividness when she was two. It was the birth of her brother Grady.
“Mama was sick and papa decided for Gussie and me to go spend the night with the Corns, our neighbors. Papa carried Gussie; and I went with Mrs. Corn through the gate and down the road. The next morning we awoke and came home to a little new brother, Wm. Grady.
“The doctor ate breakfast with us. We had jelly and hot biscuits.”
Ethel describes the road in front of the house and the spring and branch behind. The house had a gate, a long walkway with buttercups growing along the way She remembers two white pines and a cherry tree. On the right side of the porch was an apple tree.
One day a wind came up and her mother instructed her to “hug a tree.” Across on the other side of the road was a chinquapin grove.
Ethel remembers: “Gussie and I loved to go across the road and play house.”
Nearby the Dotson home was a rock quarry. Peter Corn and his wife quarried rock there. Peter was the son of a Revolutionary War hero.
On occasion, Peter was known to over imbibe and would come “reeling up the road and singing at the top of his lungs.”
“Mama told me, when you hear old Peter coming up the road singing, run home and close the gate as quickly as you can.”
Ethel Dotson remembers the Corn family with fondness: “They were the happiest family I ever knew — always laughing and in a good humor. There were nine children and lots to do for them. Mrs. Corn was good to ‘Miss Maggie,’ my mother, and would come to see her when she was sick.
“We would sit around the open fire and ‘Miss Maggie’ would sing ‘Paper of Pins’ and ‘Barbara Allen.’”
Ethel, who would later graduate from Judson College (1905), describes how a teacher at Ebenezer School, Nannie Ross, disciplined two boys caught fighting on the school grounds: “She evermore gave them a whipping.”
She tells of times spent washing clothes and playing on the big rock on wash day. There was hog killing times and trips to town.
The day the family moved to Hendersonville stands out in Ethel’s memory. “The belongings were piled high on a wagon. Someone was walking behind leading the cow. The Corns were there to see us off.”
