Comment

I do not know exactly which "trestle work" this notice refers to. Contemporary sources refer to trestle work over what is now 4th and 5th Ave. (approaching the Cumberland River), as well as Charlotte Ave. If the Staceys indeed played near 5th Ave., their grounds might well have been located within Sulphur Spring Bottom, a popular location for base ball and other activities.
