John Shearer, a contributing Mountain Mirror writer, will lead a walk through Chattanooga history in Forest Hills Cemetery, 4016 Tennessee Ave. in St. Elmo. This event is open to the public and free. Meet at the front gate at 11 a.m., October 31 for a tour of some of the resting places of some of Chattanooga’s most interesting characters.

Forest Hills houses the gravesites of Civil Wars officers, entertainers, industrialists and even a United States postmaster general. However, Forest Hills is more than a burial ground. It is also a monument of history and art.


Shearer worked for the Chattanooga News Free Press as a writer and is an avid collector of interesting stories of the history of Chattanooga and the area. He covered everything from obituaries to sports. He now lives in Knoxville and continues to write as a freelance sports, news and feature writer for Knoxville News Sentinel, as well as the chattanoogan.com and the Mountain Mirror. “Printer’s ink has remained in my system all these years,” says Shearer, as he continues to write and publish books.
