1 NOTE Marshal Thomas A. Brummette
1 NOTE Thomas A. Brummette served as Marshal of Oliver Springs several different times
2 CONT His longest service of record was from March of 1914 until November of 1916, bu
2 CONT he also served one short period as late as June of 1917. A glance at the Court
2 CONT Docket for this period reveals at least two significant facts. First, judging
2 CONT from the number of arrests, Tom was one of the most active Marshals in the
2 CONT town's history. Secondly, Tom Brummette showed no favors because he arrested th
2 CONT high, the low , and the mean, consistent with his line of duty. Some of those
2 CONT arrested later became Mayors of the Town. Doctors were listed among those
2 CONT arrested. Tom was evidently fearless because among his arrests were men known t
2 CONT be tough for police officers to handle, including: Shirley Pass, Tom Vance, Bus
2 CONT Lynch, Bob Martin, Albert Edwards, Bill Riggs, Hood Liles, Chester Nolin, Nick
2 CONT Seibers, John Simpson, Dutch Hall, Hurley Foster, and others. Of course, Tom wa
2 CONT serving while Squire Cox was City Judge, and no doubt Squire encouraged the
2 CONT enforcement of the law.
1 NOTE Strongly-Built Man
1 NOTE Tom Brummette was a powerful, stockily built man who could physically over-powe
2 CONT an offender without resorting to billy sticks or a gun. Tom was a likable
2 CONT fellow, but he had a little mean streak in him which in his younger years ran
2 CONT him afoul of the law and Squire Cox's Court, but this knowledge of the other
2 CONT side of the law served him well in apprehending criminals when he was Marshal.
1 NOTE The Thomas Brummette Family
1 NOTE The ancestry of Thomas A. Brummette may be of considerable interest to many
2 CONT people in the Roane area because of many intermarriages with other large
2 CONT families many of whom still reside in the area.
1 NOTE The known Brummette family line begins with Revolutionary War Soldier, Thomas
2 CONT Brummette who was evidently born in VA in 1754 and died in Anderson County
2 CONT November 11, 1842. He served in the Tenth Virginia Regiment and fought in the
2 CONT Battles of Brandywine, Guilford Courthouse, etc. He received a pension October
2 CONT 17, 1818. Thomas married Mary Burris.

2 CONT he helped to found. Reverend Brummette married first, Sarah E. Ketchum (buried

2 CONT his side and shot him dead. He was buried in the Walker Long Cemetery in Dutch
2 CONT Valley." Reverend James A. Brummette and Serelda Brown Brummette had at least
