UCHS Band students excel!
Submitted by Shirlee Grabko on Mon, 04/22/2024 - 14:57There are many interesting people living in Union County. Some of them are senior citizens with fascinating tales to tell from their lives. I also discovered a couple of impressive people who are seniors at our Union County High School. I’ve known musicians most of my (long) life. Very seldom have I met one who also writes music. Landyn Hobbins has been doing this for years. He is a emotional writer who believes that music is something that everyone can relate to, and that music connects people - especially during emotional highs and lows.

Significant Error
Hello. My name is Heather Booker, and my fourth great-grandmother is Elizabeth Giles Booker. She was married to John Booker in Virginia, where they lived, raised a family, and died. She is buried in Rockingham County, Viriginia.
A man named D. Ray Booker wrote a book in which he paired her with another man named John Booker, the John Booker who moved to Tennessee. To be fair, I can see where that would be confusing, what with so many men named John Booker in one place. But HIS John Booker left Virginia, while MY John Booker and his wife Elizabeth Giles Booker remained in Virginia.
Elizabeth Giles Booker is the close relative of a Virginia governor and did not ever move to or live in Tennessee. Her grave is in Virginia, along with her husband and her children, none of whom were named George and all of whom lived and died in Virginia.
