McMinnville has served as the birthplace or residence of a number of notable figures. Charles Faulkner Bryan, music composer, musician and musicologist of folk music was born on July 29, 1911, in McMinnville. He would eventually leave to attend the Nashville Conservatory of Music.[28] Country music's Uncle Dave Macon was born just outside McMinnville. Macon would go on to move to Nashville in 1884. A memorial at the Warren County Courthouse memorializes his birth and is built of brick from the home of his birth.[29] Dinah Shore grew up in McMinnville, where her family moved in 1924 and her father owned a department store.[citation needed] United States government official, journalist and author Carl Rowan was raised in McMinnville. Born in Ravenscroft in 1925, he worked in the nurseries of McMinnville, hoeing bulbs as a teenager for $.10 per hour.[30] Country Music legend Dottie West was born just outside McMinnville in 1932 in the Frog Pond community. Her mother owned the once noted "Park Grill" downtown where Dottie often helped out waitressing. West is buried in the town's Mount Olivet Cemetery.[31] Posthumous Medal of Honor recipient David R. Ray was born in McMinnville in 1945. Chicago Cubs bullpen coach Lester Strode was born and raised in McMinnville. Born in 1958, he was one of eight African Americans in a class of 500 at Warren County Senior High School. He credits his experience of being a minority and the relationship with his high school coach as shaping his decisions as a sports professional. In 2006, the high school retired his uniform number.[32] A second pro baseball player, Jamie Walker, was also born in McMinnville in 1971.[33] Randy Wood, who was born in McMinnville on March 30, 1917, founded Dot Records, one of the most successful independent record labels of the 1950s and 1960s.
