    Link to Google MapsNewspaper - (Bluefield Daily Telegraph) Automobile and Radio were Forecast by Joel Old Man Joel hundreds of years ago forecast the advent of the automobile and wireless, says Ben Burress, veteran Bible student of St. Clair's Crossing. Mr. Burress maintains that every thing for its time and proves his logic from the Bible. He says that Joel spoke of these modern inventions and innovations, mentioning the "wireless" and described the Fords and automobiles by another name, knocking the bulls eye as straight as an arrow. Mr. Burress has started reading the Bible through for the sixth time to determine if possible, if there may be other modern inventions hinted at of which we have as yet been kept in the dark. While not a church member himself, Mr. Burress attends church and whenever he imagines the preacher has made a slip, Mr. Burress awaits his chance to start an argument with the minister to put him straight on that part of the sermon to which Mr. Burress does not agree. - 21 Aug 1926 - St. Clair's Crossing, Tazewell, Virginia Link to Google Earth
