    helped organize the Soil Conservation District of Sevier County and served as
    supervisor and president during the years 1954-1963. He helped organize the
    Sevier Farmers Co-op and served as one of the first directors as well as
    Vice-president. He served on the County Court Argiculture Committee and the
