NEWPORT-Edith Costner joined a very elite group of Cocke County residents on Wednesday, June 20, when she turned 100 years old.
Born June 12, 1912 in neighboring Greene County, she was one of eight children of Charlie and Lillie (Maloy) Williams, who moved to Cocke County in 1919, when Costner was seven.
At birth, the new baby girl was given the name Edith Estella.
Upon their move to Cocke County, the Williams family settled in today's Bryant Town area. For a time, the young girl attended the old Fairground School.
In the early 1930s, she was introduced to a Cosby boy, Monroe Costner, known better as "Roe", who worked at Stokelys. They were introduced by one of Edith's friends, who was dating one of Roe's brothers.
