Parents William Alfred and Effie Lee Chapman
Son Bill Hope 4/17/1937 – 10/11/2017
Hope Dossett, s/o Wm. Alfred Dossett and Effie Chapman, served 45 years in CC as a teacher and principal. When he started (1924) at River View in Union County, he made $75 a month as principal. He rode a horse called "Old Bill" to school where he sat on a nail keg for a chair. He also was the janitor. The great Edison Brown was one of his first pupils.
Per the occasional custom for the time, Hope traveled to Edison's home one evening to spend the night. He and Edison both rode Old Bill. Later Edison Brown would spank "ol' Bill" at West La Follette Elementary School with his 'Lectric Paddle! Hope and his family later took Edison to see his first Picture Show.
Hope took a position at the Ivy Dell school where he supervised 56 pupils. By now, his mode of transportation was improving-- he went to work via his Dad's Model T Ford. (I guess Old Bill had been put out to pasture!)
He later taught at Walnut Grove where he also was principal. Walnut Grove was another great community lost to TVA. The only thing there now is the Stout- DOSSETT Cemetery.
In 1930, Hope took a job at the La Follette High School where he taught Math and Science, and coached basketball. He married Virginia Smith and had son Billy Hope. Later in 1937, he was principal at East La Follette Elementary for four years.
In 1941, he went to Cherokee, NC for a year to teach at the Indian Reservation. Upon his retur, he took a position at Jacksboro (in 1943) where, again, he taught Math, Science and coached basketball. Then, if I have the chronology correct, he came back to LHS (in 1945) where he was principal for 10 years! Then in 1955, Hope returned to teaching at the high school where he retired in 1970. All in all, he worked for six different superintendents in the county!
Mr. Hope Dossett born January 2, 1905; died July 25, 1994; Virginia (Smith) Dossett born 1909; died February 4, 1996.
Hope and Lucille's sister (Mary Nina) married Frank Agee and also taught for several years.
