Bio
J.H. Chestnut died August 9, 1908 at 609 Buchanan of malarial fever. Age 65. Physician Dr. Pierson. Funeral August 10, 1908 by order of W.H. Fuqua. From Blackburn-Shaw Funeral Home Book 1, p207 James County was created by an act of the Tennessee General Assembly on January 30, 1871. Lands were taken from a small portion of Bradley County and the eastern third of Hamilton County. Ooltewah, a Muskogee variation of italwa meaning "town," was selected as the county seat. The county went bankrupt in April 1919 and was reincorporated into Hamilton County by a vote of its citizens on December 11, 1919. Few records remain of what was once James County due largely to courthouse fires in 1890 and 1913. The few remaining James County records are now kept in Hamilton County. The third and final James County Courthouse is the major landmark of Ooltewah.
