| Bob Weaver/Hur Herald 1997
People use to hear and see things they don't hear and see in modern times. Hollis
Kerby heard an angel choir singing when his wife, Bell died in the late 1940's.
In 1956, being a student at Calhoun County High School, I borrowed an amplifier
and some large outside PA speakers and placed them in the bell tower of the Hur
Church. Attaching a record player with a disc of Christmas chimes, we started
playing the tunes in early evening before the holiday and for the entertainment of our
scattered neighbors.
Shortly after the premiere performance of "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing," the
chimes ringing and echoing across the hills. Our old Methodist preacher, the Rev.
Dorsey Miller (who lived to age 103) wandered out on his porch.
Alarmed and excited, he dashed back in the house and cranked up the switch-board
operator, Lona Starcher. "Christ is coming! Christ is Coming!" he told Lona. "No,
it's not Christ," she said. "It's just that Bob Weaver with all his gadgets."
