Heritage of Coffee County TN book page 136 says:
"Although still in existence as late as 1903, the community of Stick is not called by that name today. Old directions give the location of Stick as ten miles east of Manchester. It was possibly located between Hillsboro and Viola. For eleven years a country post office was located there and Sallie L. Carden and T. A. Carden are documented as serving in the position of postmaster."
