Lenora “Nora” Witzel was an infamous figure in Clarksville. She has been described as a pioneer, a rebel, scandalous and a gem. According to Jackie Littleton, “To most Clarksvillians, if they thought of her at all, Miss Nora was an eccentric, an oddly dressed, ‘mannish’ woman doing a man’s business.”
