From Denise Darcys research:
For a lack of a better place I am convinced this article is related to this family so when I find more info I will move it to the proper place. I just don't want this info lost because " Star Limes Works" is like an" Atlantis", a city lost under water.
Mr. Frank DePriest standing in front of his grocery in the Star Limeworks community. Mr DePriest was the decendant of a French soldier who came to America to fight with LaFayette. On their tour of the western frontier after the Revolutionary War, DePriest decided to stay "Between the Rivers". This family was forced to leave because such commercial activity would not be allowed in the new recreation area. The site of DePriest Grocery is within half a mile of TVA's new grocery store at Hillman Ferry Campground.
