(Continued from pg 1)<br />

“We shared everything<br />

over the years,” Betty said.<br />

“She could make me laugh<br />

when I was the most unhappy<br />

or miserable. Rooster<br />

will be missed by a lot<br />

of people.”<br />

According to a report<br />

filed by <strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

Sheriff’s Deputy Chase<br />

Nipper, a neighbor identified<br />

as Perry Philpott,<br />

spotted smoke coming<br />

from Dailey’s Church<br />

Road home. He hurried<br />

to the residence and found<br />

Rooster standing in the<br />

doorway of her burning<br />

house and wrapping her in<br />

his jacket carried her to his<br />

vehicle, where he called<br />

dialed 911.<br />

Nipper said he arrived<br />

around 12:30 p.m., finding<br />

the home fully engulfed in<br />

flames. Several men were<br />

fighting the fire with<br />

water buckets and they directed<br />

Nipper to<br />

Philpott’s truck, where he<br />

found Dailey with burns<br />

to her arms, chest, head,<br />

and to the right side of her<br />

body.<br />

Nipper said Dailey<br />

communicated with him,<br />

giving him her name and<br />

age. An ambulance with<br />

<strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong> EMS arrived<br />

and began to treat<br />

Dailey’s burns.<br />

“Rooster was the captain<br />

in charge of all our<br />

cousin gang, the Garretts<br />

and McDaniels,” said<br />

also of Madisonville. “She<br />

gave us orders and we<br />

obeyed, and we loved her.<br />

We were double cousins,<br />

and she lived with us at<br />

times when we were<br />

younger. That’s our precious<br />

bond. To know her<br />

was to love her.”<br />

Investigators on the fire<br />

scene did not determine<br />

the cause or the origin of<br />

the fire. Nipper said paramedics<br />

treated and then<br />

transported Dailey to<br />

McGee-Tyson Airport in<br />

Alcoa, where she was<br />

flown to Nashville.<br />

The homeowner, Bill<br />

Dailey, a son, said he had<br />

not been at home at the<br />

time of the fire.<br />

“I grew up with Bill, but<br />

I remember Rooster serv-<br />

ing us lunch in primary<br />

school,” Larry Mason of<br />

Mason’s Furniture told the<br />

BUZZ. “As kids we would<br />

call her ‘Rooster’ because<br />

we thought it was funny<br />

that she had that name.<br />

She would cut up and kid<br />

with us, but we knew<br />
