One Seriously Injuted In Head-On Collision
A Larry Eldridge Receives Chamber Applause Award
Built in 1964 by J.D. and Stella Eldridge, the building originally housed the Eldridge Printing Shop and later became the home of the Overton County News in 1967, when the Eldridges started the weekly newspaper. Larry and Sue Eldridge purchased the printing and newspaper business when J.D. Eldridge retired. They later sold the Overton County News to Carson and Vicki Oliver, where the business remained until the move to their new building in 1998. The Eldridges began renovation on the building in October 1999, and were able to move in by December of that year. The floor plan was drawn by Larry while Sue designed the interior. Larry E. Eldridge has been a practicing CPA since 1968, when he worked for Ernst & Ernst in Knoxville until his return to Livingston in 1971 to open his own firm. He opened his office at 209 West Main Street in a building owned by John M. Roberts, where he remained for almost 29 years. Having grown very attached to a door at his old location, Roberts told Eldridge he could have the door since he had paid so much rent over the years. The door now opens into the reception room at the new location. Bill Winningham Announces Candidacy

A
head-on collision around 7:10 p.m. Monday, May 8 required the air
transport of a Livingston man to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.
According to reports, Andy Gray, 17, was driving a white 1991 Dodge
van toward Livingston on Jamestown Highway when his van crossed
into the path of another vehicle at the last curve before the straight
stretch. The van collided head-on with a black 1977 Chevrolet pickup
driven by Jeff Walker, 28, of Livingston. Walker was airlifted via
LifeForce to the Chattanooga trauma center. A passenger in the truck,
Heather Hargis, of Alpine, was also injured. She was transported
by Overton County Ambulance Service to Livingston Regional Hospital
for treatment. Gray, who was apparently uninjured, said he fell
asleep, according to THP Jim Beaty, who investigated the collision.
The
First Quarter Chamber of Commerce Applause Award was recently awarded
to Larry Eldridge, CPA, for renovations to the old Overton County
News building, located at 306 North Church Street.
