Winchester, Tennessee was designated as the county seat of Franklin County On November 22, 1809 by the Tennessee General Assembly. Winchester was named after General James Winchester of Sumner County, who had been involved in the politics and military actions of the western territory in North Carolina that later became the state of Tennessee. In 1811 a small brick courthouse was erected on what is now the town square, and on October 20, 1821 the town was incorporated. Notable history is that David Crockett was a local inhabitant and, according to David Crockett’s autobiography, a young Winchester local lawyer named Francis Jones made a fiery speech that prompted David Crockett to volunteer as captain of the local militia mustered at Winchester, Tennessee in 1813. David Crockett also later represented the district encompassing Winchester, Tennessee in Congress. In its early years, Winchester boasted many lawyers of national importance who began their careers in Winchester, the county seat of Franklin County, such as Felix Grundy, Peter Turney, and Albert S. Marks. Another notable Winchester lawyer was William Venable, who later served as consular representative of the United States to Guatemala. Winchester native, John Mark Templeton, became a Rhodes Scholar and later gained international prominence in business and investing. Mr. Templeton was the founder of the Templeton Mutual Funds. Winchester is also known for its native singing star and actress, Dinah Shore, for which the central thoroughfare from Winchester to Decherd bears her name: “Dinah Shore Boulevard”. Winchester’s population today is in excess of 8,000.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that, in all, as many as 3,000 products may, at one time or another, have contained asbestos, including a number of household items that would otherwise seem innocuous, such as hand-held hairdryers, coffee pots, toasters, irons, ironing board covers, electric blankets, and burner pads.Because asbestos is often found in mined talc and vermiculite, products containing those two substances may contain asbestos as well.  Talc-containing products might include cosmetics, baby powder, and feminine hygiene products.  Trace amounts of asbestos have also been found in fertilizers, pesticides, potting mixes, and composts, which often employ the use of vermiculite, due to its drainage and aeration properties.
Sadly, the recognition of the dangerous properties of asbestos goes back to the Roman Empire when concerned citizens and doctors noticed that those who worked in asbestos mines were dying very early or becoming quite ill with lung-related diseases.  Records show that by the turn of the 20th century, insurance companies were already charging higher premiums or refusing coverage to those who had jobs that exposed them to asbestos.
It wasn’t until the 1970s, unfortunately, that government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began to regulate asbestos and its uses.  By that time, many had been exposed to asbestos and asbestos-containing products for a vast number of years.Did you or a loved one work in an industry that used products or processes that involved asbestos?  Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease like Mesothelioma?  If so, perhaps we can help.  Be sure to sign up for your free packet of information at this site to learn more about the history of asbestos and those industries that put workers at high risk for asbestos-related illnesses. lectricians were prone to asbestos hazards from wire wrap, panels, arc chutes, and from generally working in asbestos-ridden buildings - particularly those built pre-1980. Many older and retired electricians are in danger of ill-health effects from exposure to this dangerous material, and sadly, many are suffering now from asbestosis, pleural plaques and effusion, and malignancies like mesothelioma.
A book has been written by Paul Kraus, who was exposed to asbestos while working a summer factory job as a young man in the 1960s. In 1997, he was diagnosed with mesothelioma and given just a few months to live. Mr. Kraus worked with doctors to develop a treatment plan that helped him overcome this asbestos caused disease.
Today, 17 years later, he is the longest living mesothelioma survivor in the world.
For more information visit the Surviving Mesothelioma: A Patient's Guide website.
The website provides a variety of information and a free copy of the book Surviving Mesothelioma.
 A snapshot of information (courtesty of the website) is listed below:
What is mesothelioma? Mesothelioma (cancer of the mesothelium) is a disease in which cells of the mesothelium become abnormal and divide without control or order. They can invade and damage nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also metastasize (spread) from their original site to other parts of the body. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura or peritoneum.
How common is mesothelioma?
Over 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age. See statistics for more details.What are the risk factors for mesothelioma?
Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in the majority of cases. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos. Click here to learn more about asbestosWho is at increased risk for developing mesothelioma?
Since the early 1940s, millions of workers have been exposed to asbestos dust. An increased risk of developing mesothelioma was originally found among shipyard workers, people who work in asbestos mines and mills, producers of asbestos products, workers in the heating and construction industries, and other trades people. Today, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets limits for acceptable levels of asbestos exposure in the workplace. People who work with asbestos wear personal protective equipment to lower their risk of exposure.
There is evidence that family members and others living with asbestos workers have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, and possibly other asbestos-related diseases. This risk may be the result of exposure to asbestos dust brought home on the clothing and hair of asbestos workers.What are the symptoms of mesothelioma?
Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleura are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.
How is mesothelioma diagnosed?
Diagnosing mesothelioma is often difficult, because the symptoms are similar to those of a number of other conditions. Diagnosis begins with a review of the patient's medical history, including any history of asbestos exposure. A complete physical examination may be performed, including x-rays of the chest or abdomen and lung function tests. A CT (or CAT) scan or an MRI may also be useful.
A biopsy confirms a diagnosis of mesothelioma. In a biopsy, a surgeon or a medical oncologist removes a sample of tissue for examination under a microscope by a pathologist. (See Pathology Diagnosis to learn why some patients request a second opinion.)
Mesothelioma is described as localized if the cancer is found only on the membrane surface where it originated. It is classified as advanced if it has spread beyond the original membrane surface to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, lungs, chest wall, or abdominal organs.
.n ancient Greek, asbestos means “inextinguishable” and aptly defines the serious biological harm the substance causes.
Victims of asbestos exposure may experience asbestosis, a respiratory disease that leads to scar tissue forming in the lungs. The scar tissue prevents the lungs from freely exchanging gases, expanding and contracting properly. Beyond asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma may develop. Lung cancer and mesothelioma are highly aggressive diseases that are usually the result of prolonged asbestos exposure. While there are ever-expanding treatment options, there is currently no cure.
Early on, many asbestos manufacturers knew that devastating effects that asbestos products would cause but they chose to cover it up. This makes the manufacturers of asbestos products directly responsible for the destruction and suffering this product has caused. The first
diagnosis of asbestosis was found in 1924. A woman who worked with asbestos died twenty years after being exposed. Years later, studies were conducted with asbestos workers in England and laws were passed to increase ventilation and to make asbestosis an excusable work-related disease. Unfortunately, the United States did not make these changes until 10 years later. Lack of attention to these warnings caused further damage to people across the country. The neglect that was given to asbestos affected a variety of people that included naval veterans, fire-fighters, shipyard workers, brake mechanics, steam fitters and construction workers. People who have worked in these occupations may be vulnerable to contract asbestosis or another asbestos-related disease.
