Dear Friends,
This time of year is meant for gardening and being out in the beautiful
weather we are experiencing- Genealogy will take a back seat for a time
though there are a number of very interesting-sounding meetings forth¬
coming.
The April meeting was a luncheon at Western Steer with two excellent
speakers. Ruth Corry, President of the Georgia Genealogical Society,
told us of their state-wide Cemetery Project, and gave valuable tips for
those who are working toward such a book. June Hart Wester, a native of
Carroll County, now living in Canton, gave us tips on using Superior
Court records and the wealth of information they provide.
In March, Myron House gave a most interesting review of factors causing
immigration to the United States. One of the main reasons people came
here was the possibility of owning their own land. We take so many
things for granted.
In February, our speakers were Betty Driver and Evylan Morrow discussing
branches of their families. Just to show you that windfalls do come our
way, Betty went into the Archives and asked if they had information on
her kin. They brought out a large folder with the history he had written
for his family — most interesting!
Continue to send in your materials for the Quarterly, and if you have any
additions or corrections for the Cemetery Book please send them to the
P. 0. Box 578 immediately as we hope to go to publication shortly.
Happy Hunting!

1895, Vol. I. These sketches are continued from the Spring Quarterly.
ARTHUR HUTCHESON, deceased, for years the president of the Hutcheson
Manufacturing company, Banning, Carroll Co., Ga., was the son of James
and Sophia (Montgomery) Hutcheson, and was a full-blooded .Irishman,
having been born in Ireland in 1818. His father died in 1827 and his
mother in 1856. In I836, when eighteen years of age, he left Ireland
for America, on whose shores he landed after a journey of six weeks,
and came to Campbell county, Ga., and stopped with an uncle living there.
This uncle, James Hutcheson, left Ireland for this country in 1818, and
his first stop in Georgia was in Milledgeville. From there he went to
McDonough, Henry Co., and thence, in 1827* he removed to Newnan, Coweta
Co. From Newnan he went, in I832, and settled in the woods and cleared
a farm, and here on this farm Arthur Hutcheson, without education or
money, started in life. But he had good common sense, indulged in no
bad habits, was frugal, and invested his earnings with rare good judg¬
ment. What he amassed was not made by sharp, tricky trading nor semi¬
gambling speculation. No "blood money" stained his purse. He did not
accumulate rapidly, but he did it safely and surely, nor was he a
millionaire, nor could he ever be, but he left a comfortable fortune,
though he provided generously for himself and those dependent upon or
serving him. During the war he was in the commissary department under
Maj. Shackelford, whose headquarters were in Atlanta. He had a cousin
in the army who saved the Confederate general, Bates, from being captured
on one occasion when posting his pickets. After the war he engaged in
merchandising at County Line, Carroll county, and in I878 he bought an
interest in what was then known as Amos' factory, to which he subsequently
devoted almost his entire attention. At that time there was one mill,
and that supplied with old-style, run-down machinery. The old fogy
shareholders were gradually bought out, and under Mr. Hutcheson's able
management improved modern machinery deplaced the old. He next proceeded
to organize a joint stock company with a capital of $93,000, of which he
was elected president and general manager. Additions and improvements
were continued and now they have a 5,000-spindle (and preparation) cotton
factory, a paper mill, two pulp mills, and a grist and sawmill, all fully
equipped with the best made, modern improved machinery, and all within a
mile along the creek, propelled by water retained by one dam. This
company operates one of the three mills in the United States that make
striped paper. The company owns 1,300 acres of good land, employs 210
hands, and when all their machinery is running full time, 240. Workers
are furnished house room and a garden spot free, and the company has
built a school house for the children and a church for them to worship
in. Mr. Hutcheson looked after the physical comfort of his employes and
gave attention to their moral training and conduct. He was kind and
considerate, and treated them humanely, respecting them himself and
stimulating them to cultivate self-respect for themselves. It is
superfluous to add that Mr. Hutcheson was esteemed very highly by all
who knew him in financial circles as well as in the humbler walks of
life. His true worth as a man could not be better appreciated than by
his employes and their families, in whose welfare he took so much interest
and to them his death fell with the heaviest hand. He was a master Mason
and an exemplary member of the Methodist church. He died on the morning
of April 5, 1895*
REV. W. W. KELLEY, Baptist minister, Whitesburg, Carroll Co., Ga., son
of Andrew Wilson and Elizabeth J. (Pitts) Kelley, was born in Coweta
county, Ga., in 1847. His paternal grandparents, John and Mary (Hews)
Kelley, were natives of North Carolina, and came to Georgia about 1810.
-49-
His grandfather was a soldier in the war of 1812. Mr. Kelley's father
was horn in North Carolina, came to Georgia with his father, and had a
very fair education for his day. He was a member of the Baptist church .
and a man of considerable prominence in his day. His maternal grandparents,
Archey and Charlotte (Burnett) Pitts, were South Carolinians, were Baptists,
and early settlers of Georgia. Mr. Kelley was reared on a_ farm and re¬
ceived a good common-school education, and attended a theological school
at Greenville, S. C.f a part of one term in 1873* His father being a poor
man, he earned the money himself to pay for his higher education. In I863
he became his father's substitute in Company G, Second Georgia regiment,
and served two months, when he was relieved. During this time he was
sent to Grayville, Tenn., to engage in a battle, but it had been fought
before he and his comrades reached the field. In 1864 he enlisted in
Company I (Capt. J. Johnson), Bell's battalion, his company performing
guard duty most of the time. He began life after the war very poor, but
feels that he has been wonderfully sustained and blessed by Providence.
He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1871, but the first pastorate to
which he was called was that of Whitesburg in 1874, since which time he
has been actively engaged in the Master's service. He is now pastor of
the churches of Central Hatchee, Heard Co.; Corinth (at Banning), and
Salem, Carroll Co., and Effices, in Douglas county, Ga. He aided in the
organization of the three last named, and also in the organization of
Friendship, in Heard county, and Friendship and Ebenezer, in Douglas
county. He was pastor of Friendship for fifteen months. In addition to
this arduous work he taught school in 1874-75-76 and a part of 1877*
During his ministry he had baptized about 1,000 persons and made scores
of couples happy by uniting them in marriage. Rev. Mr. Kelley was married
to Miss Elizabeth T., daughter of James D. Moore, a pioneer settler, in
1877> who has borne him five children, of whom three, James A., William B.,
and Charles S., are living, and two, Carrie E. (Mrs. Van D. Sewell) and
Thomas Mercer are dead. Rev. Mr. Kelley is a master Mason and Mrs. Kelley
is a member of the Baptist church. He has a fine farm and comfortable
residence in the edge of Whitesburg, is an exemplary Christian minister,
and a useful and very highly esteemed citizen. To Andrew W. and Elizabeth
Kelley ten children were born, eight sons and two daughters. Of these
W. W., Thomas A. and James M. were ordained Baptist ministers, and
actively engaged in the ministry. Andrew W. died in infancy and Newton
Calvin at the age of eighteen. J. M. and Mary K. were twins. The latter
married Mr. Capes, and the other sister, Amanda J., is the wife of W. M.
Hunter.
J. R. LASSETTER, general superintendent of the Hutcheson Manufacturing
company, Banning, Ga., son of William and Parthenia (Brown) Lassetter,
was born in Carroll county. His grandfather, Benjamin Lassetter, came
from Virginia to Georgia in 1828, and went to Milledgeville and bought
the fractions of land in Carroll county on which he settled and began
clearing for a farm that year. He was a soldier in the last war with
Great Britain. His father, a farmer, was born in Carroll county, and
was a member of the cavalry company commanded by Capt. Shuford three
years during the late "unpleasantness." Mr. Lassetter received a good
common-school education. His father died when he was young, but being
of the stuff that men are made of, he has persistently struggled toward
the front, where, before many years, he will be. As soon as qualified
he began teaching, and after following it a few years engaged in mer¬
chandising. Having the misfortune to be burned out, he went back to
the old farm, which he bought on credit, and after much privation and
hard struggling he paid for and began to lay up money. In 1891 he went
to work for the Hutcheson Manufacturing company, and in 1893 bought an
interest in it. He has since been made general superintendent -- a
-50-
well-earned and deserved compliment to his pluck and energy and his
superior general capabilities. He is a thorough-going young-man,
recognized as promising to become one of the most influential of his
generation in the county. Little is known in Georgia of this Hutcheson
Manufacturing.company; on a small scale it is but a sample of many, in
other localities in Georgia, of like topography, and surroundings, and
demonstrates the grand manufacturing possibilities ofthe state.
Mr. Lassetter richly deserves the confidence he has secured, and the
success he has attained. With the position he holds in the company, the
natural manufacturing advantages of the mill's site, the possibilities
of greater development and expansion, and the advantages of the exper¬
ience and instruction of the company's president, Arthur Hutcheson, this
rising young manufacturer has before him a brilliant future.
J. W. G. LASSETTER, farmer, Villa Rica, Carroll Co., Ga., son of William
and Mary Parthenie (Brown) Lassetter, was born in Carroll county in 1858.
His grandfather, Benjamin Lassetter, settled in Georgia early in the
present century. Mr. Lassetter's father was Georgia-born, was reared a
farmer,.and came to Carroll county and settled on Snake Creek when it
was a wilderness, in 1841. He cleared a farm and made a home there and
reared a family of fourteen children, all of whom made good citizens.
His maternal grandparents were also among the early settlers of upper
Georgia. Mr. Lassetter was bred a farmer, received but little schooling,
but enough to enable him to teach a short time. In I883 he married Miss
Mary Barnett, born in Georgia, daughter of Waddie H. and Nancy (Butler)
Barnett, who were native South Carolinians, but came to Georgia many
years_ago. Two children, Erie and William C., have blessed this union.
The first died in his youth. Mr. Lassetter began life with a horse and
$200, has steadily pursued farming as a business, and has succeeded
admirably. He has a nice 250-acre farm, a comfortable dwelling and
substantial outbuildings, and is a progressive and prosperous farmer.
Himself and wife are members of the Missionary Baptist church, and are
exemplary farmers, citizens and church members.

BROWN Family History update--
Mrs. Lela V. H. Peterson, Box 13 RFD, Monroe, Utah 84-754, has sent us
more information on the Brown Family article that appeared in the Spring
Quarterly. She states-
"It is proven by the testimony of three people that Emanuel Brown was the
only living child of Elizabeth Malone; that John died young, without
issue; and that James L. Brown, born 10 Jan 1821, and Samuel Brown, born
22 May 1825, were half-brothers of Emanuel. The proof for this is in the
records left by Lucy C. T. Brown, wife of Emanuel, and Samuel Case Brown,
the son of Emanuel. They gave the exact dates, and put Elizabeth Malone
as the mother of Emanuel, but did not put the mother on either James L.
or Samuel. Others who knew this to be true were my grandfather, David
Emanuel Brown, and his brother, William Marshall Brown, who spoke often of
their Uncle Jim, half-brother to their father. He lived near them in
Carroll County and died just before they left for Utah. Everything they
have told us has proven out to be true. They were both men of integrity.
As a child, I was greatly blessed to have my grandfather live in our home
for seven years. My favorite stories were those of his boyhood in Carroll
County. Sometimes I feel like I could walk there on Indian Creek and the
Little Tallapoosa River. I am sure that it was these stories that sparked
my interest in this family. After my grandfather died, my mother cared
for his brother, William Marshall Brown, and he died in our home."

ORNAN WHATLEY
His Grandfather
Born in Morgan county, Georgia, March 4, 1810; moved to Troup
county in 1827.
First marriage to Matilda Pitts, May 15, 1831; second marriage to
Mrs. Liza Lovelace, August 30, 1877; third marriage to Mrs. S. J. Hamer,
January 29, 1882.
Oman Whatley, grandpa, as we all called him, was a remarkable man
Simple in habits; honest to the letter; deep, strong convictions for the
right; never chewed tobacco; never smoked; never used intoxicants; had no
political aspirations; no selfish purposes to serve; in fact, it can be
truly said of him -- "the upright man in life."
His educational advantages were very limited -- having gone to
school only three months, then walking four miles. His wife taught him
"how to make his letters" and what he picked up from time to time was
under the pressure of necessity. In fact, at that time, there was very
little to excite ambition for education. What he knew, he knew well and
used well. He was not a rich man in the modern sense of the word, though
he owned nearly 1000 acres of land. Like others, he was a slave holder.
Like others, the war of 1861-5 materially affected him. Three sons
entered the war -- one killed, two returned.
His home, furnished with every luxury of farm life, abounded in
hospitality to neighbors, friends, and strangers.
In politics, he was a Democrat. In religion, a Primitive Baptist,
loyal to his church and regular in attendance. He was elected deacon
September 14, 1853, and served till he died, Saturday 4:30 a.m., Dec¬
ember 10, 1887.
Grandpa was a pioneer citizen, having moved to Troup in 1827, his
parents settling west of the Chattahoochee. At that time, there was only
one other white family -- a Mr. Green -- living west of the Chattahoochee
The deep streams abounded in fish and the unbroken forest in game.
He took a personal interest in developing the county, lent a
helping hand to every laudable enterprise, helped to "notch up" the first
log cabin in the city of LaGrange near where the Baptist church now
stands.
Log-rollings, house-raisings, and corn-shuckings were the custom
in those days. People were proud of neighbors and all were neighborly.
-53-
Grandpa made a full hand -- always willing, always ready, always able.
He-was well acquainted with the Indians that surrounded him on all sides.
Hunted with them, fished with them, visited the chief at "Burnt village,"
spoke their dialect fluently, knew their wiles, their stealth, their
savage disposition, their inhumanity towards enemies, their devotion to
friends.
About the time the Indians were removed/ they became fierce and'
often committed atrocious crimes and though grandpa was in an unbroken
forest, surrounded by wild beasts and war-like savages, yet he was never
harmed by beast or man -- never had a personal difficulty with anyone.
The statement, "he was a remarkable man," will bear repetition.
An old-time Southern gentleman with good will toward all and malice
toward none.
His life may be epitomized thus: "Humble, plain, quiet, simple,
honest, truthful, patriotic, successful -- humanity's friend and God's
nobleman."
He died December 10, I887, aged 77 years, 9 months, 2 days. All
the living members of his family were present. The coffin was plain,
made out of heart-lumber that he had selected and kept for years.
The funeral services were held at his residence, being conducted
by his pastor, Rev. W. R. Avery assisted by Rev. J. C. Jackson.
In the family graveyard, one mile from the old home, can be found
a modest box-tomb, on which is the following inscription:
Sacred to the Memory of Oman Whatley, born March 4, 1810,
died December 10, I887.
FIRST MARRIAGE -- To Matilda Pitts, daughter of James and Casiah
Pitts, born November 27, 1816; married to Oman Whatley, May 15, I83I;
died December 21, 1874. Eleven children -- five boys and six girls were
born unto them. Seven living, four dead.
SECOND MARRIAGE -- To Mrs. Liza Lovelace, of West Point, Ga.,
widow of Dr. Lovelace and daughter of Ex-Governor Smith, married August 30,
I877. She survived but four years, dying Saturday, April 16, 1881.
Buried in family graveyard. No children.
THIRD MARRIAGE -- To Mrs. Sarah J. Hamer, of Columbus, Ga., the
marriage occuring January 29, 1882. No children. Mrs.S. J. Whatley
lives with her daughter, Mrs. Anthony, at Shellman, Ga. On July 13,
1905, she was 69 years old.
MATILDA WHATLEY
His Grandmother
Beside the grave of Oman Whatley is a similar box-tomb, on which
is inscribed:
Sacred to the Memory of Matilda Whatley, consort of Oman
Whatley, born Nov. 27, 1816, died Dec. 21, 1874.
Asleep in Jesus, Dearest sleep,
From which none Ever wake to weep.
I was in my seventh year when grandma Whatley died. Well do I
remember the dark December night when father, on returning from the bed¬
side of his mother, said, "Children, your grandma is dead." I will
never forget that night. Father and mother sat by the fire and spoke
in loving terms of dear grandma.
Her life was a beautiful one -- a simple narrative of a good wife
and devoted mother.
Wife and mother. What sacred names! What beautiful thoughts
cluster around them! How dear to me! How precious to you!
-54-
Grandma shared the joys and sorrows, the fortune and misfortune
of her husband. The loss of a son, Yachal Davis Whatley, killed in the
Civil war at Woodstock, Virginia, September 23, 1864, cast a shadow that
lingered long and heavy.
Like her husband, she died in the full assurance of a blessed
immortality. ^ . _ .. _
Though dead, she still lives.

THOMAS PERSONS
His Grandfather
Born in Jasper county, Georgia, June 12, 1791; reared in Putnam
and Henry; moved to Heard in 1829; married to Bethany Odom Pitman in 1837;
died Wednesday, August 23, 1881; buried in Persons' Cemetery, Heard Co.,
Georgia.
Thomas Persons was literally the "architect of his own fortune."
His educational advantages were very limited indeed. He went to school
only a few weeks, there being no schools near enough for him to attend.
As a boy he was very studious. He made good use of the few opportunities
he did have.
To him difficulties were but stepping stones to higher things.
"Failure" was not found in his vocabulary. A purpose once fixed, then
victory or death.
He taught school successfully in Putnam county, after which he
embarked in the mercantile business in Eatonton.
He was a good judge of humanity, a fine penman and a natural
mathematician, having written an arithmetic.
He read aloud, which was the custom with many of that day.
He was a private in the war of 1812.
After the invention of the cotton gin, Grandpa devoted his time
to farming. In this he was most successful, owning one of the best and
largest farms (1300 acres) in Heard county.
When the war began he had one hundred or more slaves. These were
freed. Labor was disturbed. Everything was in confusion.
Grandpa lost heavily. The storm clouds scattered. Prosperity
returned. He enjoyed good health and was very active for a man of his age
He was a progressive man, a strong believer in education and
liberal with his means. He had all the available improvements_of his.day.
The old fashioned gin house still stands as a monument to his indefati¬
gable zeal and industry. He operated the first brickyard in Heard county.
In 1845 he built a two and one-half story residence; hauled the lumber
from Rock Mills, Alabama, every piece heart and well seasoned, mortised
and pinned.
The old loom, so common in those days, furnished cloth for his
family and for all the servants.
He never bought a pound of flour in his life. His early markets
were Columbus and Atlanta.
He is buried in the family graveyard within twenty steps of his
residence. A simple granite slab and headboard marks his last resting
place. The inscription:
Thomas Persons, Was Born June 12th, 1791. Died August 23rd
1881.

BETHANY ODOM PITMAN PERSONS
His Grandmother
Bethany Odom Pitman Persons was the daughter of Timothy and Mary
Anne Pitman. Dr. Pitman was a successful physician. He was an eloquent
speaker, having represented Walton county several times in the Legislature.
This world has produced few Letter women"than Grandma Persons. -
She was not highly educated, though reared in a cultured home. Few women
have led a more active life.
In 1891, brother Will and I were attending Bowdon College, and
well do I remember the letter that Mother wrote us, saying: "Your
Grandma is dead. I will tell you about her sickness and death when we
meet."
I loved my grandma dearly.
She lies beside her husband. A slab and head stone marks her
resting place. On the head stone occurs the following:
Bethany 0. Persons, Was Born April 16th, 1820, Died March 20th,
1891.

WALTON BELL WHATLEY
His Father
His Autobiography -
I was born October 25» 1840, on the adjoining land lot on which
I now live.
My father, Oman Whatley, was a pioneer citizen of the county --
a laboring man -- an old fashioned farmer. — r -----
His barns and cribs were well filled and "the smoke house" was
well filled with home raised meat and lard -- always plenty for the
family besides supplying the
hands on the farm the year
round.
How few indeed, in the
present day, fully understand
the import of the words "old
fashioned farmer!" To me, it
has a deep significance on
which memory loves to dwell.
In my tenth year Father
started me to school at Antioch,
Georgia. Mr. J. G. Goss, who
afterwards became a Baptist
minister, was the teacher.
Perhaps a few who may chance to
read this will remember that in
those days we used Webster's
Blue-back Speller, Grigg and
Elliot's First, Second, and
Third Readers, Smith's Arith¬
metic, Smith's Grammar and
Davie's Algebra. And to acquire
a knowledge of these books was
considered a very good country
education.
It was the custom of my
father (and the same was true of
others) to send their sons to
school one year and work them
the next, thus alternating one
year in school and one on the
farm. Going to school then was
somewhat different from now.
The fashionable and expensive
customs were left off. It was
strictly a business matter.
Just as soon as the children after early breakfast could walk to the school
house it was "study hours."
In my eleventh year I had a severe spell of pneumonia from which I
did not fully recover until I was mature in life. This sickness deprived
me of two years schooling. My next teacher was Prof. J. T. Hand to whom
I went two years. Afterwards I went to Prof. H. C. Worthy six months.
I was obedient in school never being rebuked or reprimanded but
once — I could not correctly pronounce the word "judicature" and cried
about it.
I advanced reasonably well under all of my teachers.
After entering my twenty-first year I decided to go off to school
and complete my education, which was limited, but my neighbors and friends
prevailed on me to teach a year and having little means of my own I decided
to

to do so, and began my new work January 12, 1861, though I did not expect
to follow teaching as a profession. I had already purposed to enter the
medical profession and in fact began reading under Dr. H. H. Carey in the
year i860. Dr. Carey gave me much encouragement. I was, as it is
commonly termed, "either handed;" i.e., I could use my left hand as well
as my right. This was considered by my preceptor and.other physicians a
fine natural gift, especially in surgery and'strongly urged me to develop
and utilize it in that branch of the profession which I decided to do.
Just at this time the tocsin of war sounded. The call for volun¬
teers was made. I joined the Ben Hill infantry, a company almost entirely
made up of my kindred, associates and acquaintances. We left for Richmond,
Virginia, July 18, 1861, and on arriving marched to the old Fair Ground.
The weather was extremely hot. At that time there were no tents. No
protection from heat and rain except the stalls in which the stock had
been fed.
I was taken sick, went to a private house and was most kindly
cared for. As soon as I was able I returned to my company. Dr. Petticole,
chief surgeon, examined and pronounced me unfit for military duty. Up to
this time, our company had not been assigned to any regiment or to any
other military organization, but was afterwards assigned to Company F,
21st Georgia Regiment. On the certificate of disability of the examining
Board of Physicians, I was discharged and returned home.
On my .return, I resumed my school and continued to teach until I
entered the State service in June 1864. The military authorities stationed
me at West Point, Georgia. On petition from my patrons I was detailed to
continue teaching by General R. C. Tyler, commander of the fort.
On July 11, 1865, I married Julia R. Persons, of Heard County,
Georgia, Rev. R. H. Jackson, officiating.
In 1865> I closed my school with more than one-hundred pupils.
The war having ended and cotton being a fine price -- 43 cents per
pound -- induced me to go to farming.
In 1873 I was again favorably impressed with my former desire, that
of attending the medical colleges and spent some time in the medical
colleges of Atlanta and Augusta, but my family being small and our imme¬
diate invironments such that I was continually uneasy for their safety,
and returned home, thus abandoning my chosen calling.
From 1864 to I872 I filled the office of Justice of Peace. This
was a trying time on Southern people. We were put to a severe test in
endeavoring to adjust and reconcile the new conditions that were forced
upon us as a result of the war. There were many annoying, irritating
suits in courts.
In I876 I was elected a member of the Board of Roads and Revenues
and served six years.
In 1882 I was elected to the lower house of the General Assembly
of Georgia.
In 1895 I was elected a member of the Board of Education of Troup
County, which place I continue to fill.
I was born and reared and have spent the greater part of my life in
Troup County. Several years ago I moved to Tallapoosa, Haralson County,
Georgia, for the benefit of the school. I lived there five years and
during this time I was engaged in the mercantile business.
I am now far advanced in the evening of life. Next Wednesday,
October 25, 1905, I shall have reached the 65th mile-post on life's short
journey. I deeply feel the infirmatives of the life that now is and
realize the time of my departure is near, but in silent meditation of the
hour when the "King of Terrors" shall triumph over my mortal body.'tis
sweet to feel the blessed assurance that the hope I have in the righteous¬
ness of Jesus will in that trying hour be an anchor to my soul both sure
-60-
and steadfast -- Amen.
The preceding simple autobiography epitomizes the life of an active
man. Busy, energetic, enthusiastic! These words permeated his very being,
animating and actuating him in every phase of life. An early riser, a
tireless worker, a plain liver -- planning wi-sely,'^executing/nobly ,- acting--
honorably, living Christly.
Few men could dispatch business more rapidly and with greater
precision than Father.
Whether building a house, superintending a farm, in the school
room, behind the counter, the foreman of a grand jury, the clerk of a
church, the chairman of a committee, the presiding officer of a public
meeting, or in the Legislature -- to use a trite phrase: "He was perfectly
at home."
A quickness of perception, a vigor of deduction, a directness and
devotedness of purpose, a pronounced condensed energy in his discourse --
these fundamental business qualifications and character elements are in
perfect harmony and beautifully poised in the life -- in the mental make¬
up of my father.
Of a sympathetic nature, of an unswerving integrity, of deep
convictions and of few idle words.
His aspirations have ever been towards the higher life. For many
years a close student of the Bible. God first, family second, business
third.
While slightly reserved, yet he enjoys a good story. He is an
expert angler and enjoys it thoroughly.
As a marksman he has few superiors. Give him his rifle and squirrels
never climb too high.
Give him his fine Ithica breech-loader and birds never fly too fast.
And there is no better bird dog than Dan -- faithful old Dan.
Father is 65 years old today, October 25> 1905* He is hearty,
stout and active and bids fair to live many years yet. I deeply regret
that I have not been able to be with him more. Teachers have very little
leisure time.
We cannot have everything in this life just as we would like.
There are very few, and perchance none, that are satisfied in every
particular.
I praise God for our postal system. Every week a letter reaches
my parents and this affords me much genuine satisfaction.
JULIA ROSABELLA PERSONS WHATLEY
His Mother
Born Sunday, October 1st, 1843, near Houston, Heard County, Georgia.
Entered school at an early age. After attending several rural
schools and high schools entered the Southern Female College at LaGrange,
Georgia, and remained there two years, 1859 and i860.
Married to Walton Bell Whatley, June 11, I865.
Joined the Primitive Baptist church, October 19, I867. Baptized
by Elder Simeon Edwards.
No serious sickness.
In November I896, the horse, while being unhitched from the buggy
became frightened, jumped and striking Mother's left shoulder dislocated
it and also broke the small bone of her arm near the wrist. It was not
known that her shoulder was dislocated, the doctor having made no exami¬
nation of it, and, hence, it remained out of place 4l days, during which
time she suffered much.
-61-
She celebrated her 62nd birthday, October 1, 1905. Her health is
good.
She has reared a large family of children, nine living, two dead,
ten lived to be grown.
To rear three boys and seven
girlg. fto • manhood -and womanhood
means much, much on the part of
a mother. It requires wisdom,
pure, refined and distilled, and
to this we must add patience and
grace. These requisites, mother,
dear mother, abundantly possesses.
Every true son loves his
mother. I could write volumes
about mine. So can you, dear
reader. The sweet lullabies of
the long ago are as beautiful
forget-me-nots securely garnered
in the archives of memory. How
beautiful! They stir the soul.
They touch the heart. Ah, the
sweet memories of by gone days!
The holy associations that'cluster
around the name of mother, the
most sacred name connected with
human relations.
Truly, the hand that rocks
the cradle is the hand that rules
the world.
Dear mother, fond memory oft
points my heart to thee,
A guardian-angel thou hast
been to me;
And though I wander from shore
to shore,
Thy sweet name, Mother, I will
cherish ever more.

are somewhat scattered in several division files of the .Archives (i.e.,
Record Group 56, Records of the Treasury; RG 233, Records of the U. S.
House of Representatives; RG 217, Records of the U. S. Court of Claims),
an inquiry directed to the Legislative, Judicial and Fiscal Branch of
the Archives, citing RG 56, would be the most expeditious. The researcher
should also provide the name of the claimant, as it appears in this index,
the state and county given for the claimant, and the specific claim

To JOHNSON family researchers:
The Carroll County Genealogical Society has received a letter from
Irene P. McWilliams, 323 Brookside Drive, West, Holiday, FL 33590, stating
that she has some very old pictures and she would like to locate descen¬
dants of the people in them. She says "I have reason to believe that the
people were friends of my grandmother, Mariah Bracknell, who lived in
Mt. Zion, Georgia, the greater part of her life. The names written under
the pictures appear to be R. C. Johnson, a lady whose last name is Johnson
(first name not legible), George Johnson, and James Johnson. One of the
pictures is a tin type, and since the people are complete strangers to me,
I would like to pass them on to their descendants, if I can determine who
they are. I would be happy to hear from anyone who is a descendant or
relative of any of these people who would like to have the pictures."
