You don't suppose that school is named after Lem Motlow, the proprietor(?) of Jack Daniels Tenn. Whiskey, do you? The 187 acre site for the college was donated by the Motlow family of Lynchburg, Tennessee. Because of this generous gift and because of Senator Reagor Motlow's contributions to education in Tennessee, Governor Buford Ellington and Commissioner of Education, J. Howard Warf, recommended that the college be named Motlow State Community College
