Perryman on the evening of February 1st marked the passing of one whose personality was forceful by reason both of its make-up and of its extensively helpful influence. It has been aptly said of him that he was a gentleman of the Old South. His social charm and geniality coupled with his capacity for understanding and sharing sorrows and joys of others drew to him countless friends and made him beloved and respected by entire families in many places throughout the southeastern states. Not only did he make friends but he kept them as friends to the last. The latter years of his life, by necessity of ill health, were spent in quiet retirement, but he was often visited by associates of former years as well as those of more recent times, and his concern for their welfare never failed. Mr. Perryman was born in Randolph county, Ala. and spent the years of his youth there and at Bowdon College in Georiga. Later he moved to Atlanta where he lived for more than 50 years. During that time he was associated with Moore & Marsh Company, later Inman Smith & Company of which he was a junior partner until the company dissolved about 20 years ago. For a number of years thereafter he represented several large firms of shoe manufacturers of Boston and St. Louis and retired from participation in commercial enterprise only when ill health made further activity impossible. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and of the Second Baptist church of Atlanta. Surviving are four sisters, Mrs. John F. Morgan of Heflin; Mrs. James R. Little of Atlanta; Misses Hattie and Ella Perryman of Heflin, and two brothers, R.A. Perryman of Atlanta and D.D. Perryman of Heflin. Funeral services were held at the home on Monday morning February 3rd, and interment made the same day at West View Cemetery in Atlanta. At the time of his death he was in his seventy-seventh year, and was residing at the family home in Heflin. Although he had been in declining health for several years, his sudden death was a great shock even to those most closely associated with him, for his sympathetic interest in people were a part of his charm to the moment of his passing. Relatives and friends mourn his death but the force of his personality goes on in ever widening circles of loving remembrance and helpful influence. ----- G.C. HUDSON DIED SATURDAY Funeral services and burial for G.C. Hudson who died at his home near Ensley Saturday night, were conducted at Beason Cemetery, 10 miles south of Heflin, Tuesday morning, the Rev. P.D. Taylor officiating.

Woodard celebrated his 88th birthday on February 3rd with a sumptuous dinner and stove wood cutting by a small army of his fine friends and neighbors who annually gather at the home on such occasions. Mr. Woodard's daughter Mrs. S.E. Creamer, reports that her father was quite feeble on his birthday but seemed to enjoy the occasion very much regardless of his illness and affliction. Mrs. Creamer, with whom her father makes his home, desires to thank those who assisted in the stove wood cutting, about fifty in number. The Cleburne News, with hundreds of other friends and acquaintances, hope that Mr. Woodard will soon be enjoying a full measure of good health. ----- IN MEMORY "Blessed are the ones that die in the service of the Lord." It was not our will, but the will of God and we must always be ready to submit to His will. It pleased Him in His wise Providence to take from our community Bro. J.W. Warmack on Jan. 20, 1930. He was 68 years of age and to know him was to love him. His friends were numbered by his acquaintances. He was such a good, christian man. As a husband and father no one could have been more devoted. As a neighbor he was unexcelled, always ready and willing to assist those who needed his help, in any way and any time, as it was always his whole desire to be doing good in some way. Bro. Warmack moved to this county from Haralson county, Ga., about 19 years ago and he will be missed in Lebanon and Concord communities. He was so much help in the church, not only in his (Concord) church, but in his neighbor churches, as it was his whole desire to be in the service of the Lord. We can almost hear the Savior say to Bro. Warmack, " well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of the Lord." In the sad hour, when death takes our loved ones, there is only one thing to do, and that is, go to Jesus and talk to Him, for His grace and sympathy is always sufficient to carry us through all trials if we will only trust in Him. May we all love to meet Bro. Warmack in the life beyond the grave. A friend, W.R. Sewell. ---- DEWEY LAMINACK BURIED AT BETHEL Dewey Laminack, 28, died at a private sanitarium here last Friday night after a long illness. He was well known both in Cleburne and Haralson counties.

Many friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to one they have known and loved. Interment was in the church cemetery. He was survived by his wife, his parents Mr. and Mrs. G.A. Laminack and several other relatives. The Tallapoosa Journal, Feb. 6th ---- IN MEMORY Bro. Anderson Johnson, 64, departed this life Dec. 31, 1929 as a result of Dropsy. He suffered most of the year, striving to get well, but all that was done for him failed. Bro. Johnson bore his affliction and his burdens without a murmer. Yet, be longed to be well again. That is according to nature; we like to live as long as we can, because we know nothing of the other world. But isn't it a wonderful thought that we can go to a far better place than this. Bro. Johnson is survived by three sons, two daughters and a host of other relatives, who with his many friends, miss him. Let us strive to live at peace with God and all will be well with our souls. Bro. Johnson said he was ready to meet his Savior. Funeral services were conducted by his pastor at Antioch M.E. Church, of which he was a member. M.M.

Fowler, mail clerk of College Park, yesterday. Fowler, according to the official version of the shooting, fired at Hutchinson when the latter allegedly attempted to kill him with a hatchet. The fight occurred in a mail car and was witnessed by J.J. Keegar, baggage master. Fowler is held pending an inquest. Cause of the fight was said to have been a long standing feud between the two men, growing out of bitterness engendered in a clash of authority between government mail clerk and train crews. Heated words were exchanged between the two men on the trip as far as here, climaxed by the shooting. Hutchinson had accused Fowler of threatening his life. Fowler's version of the affair was that he slammed the mailcar door in Hutchinson's face when the latter attempted to hurl the hatchet at him, that another heavy object crashed into the door and when he saw Hutchinson advancing upon him, he fired three times in self defense. Previously he admitted he had told Hutchinson, "you didn't have me arrested did you?" when the train stopped here. That was said to have started the final bitterness which ended in the hatchet throwing and the shooting. * * * * W.W. (Walter) Fowler was born and raised at Hightower, in the eastern part of the county and is a son of the late W.J. Fowler. Walter has been in the mail service out of Atlanta for the past 15 years, his home being at College Park.

For as much as it pleased God in His wise Providence to take out of this world the soul sister of W.J. Bradberry on the 26th of December, her husband preceding her to the grave seven years and two days. Sister Bradberry was about 72 years of age and to know her was to love her. Her friends were numbered by all who knew her. She was such a sweet christian woman; as a wife and mother no one could have been more devoted and kind; as a neighbor and friends, she was unexcelled, always kind and unobtrusive, ready at all times to assist anyone who needed her in any way. Brother and Sister Bradberry raised their family in this community, moving several years ago to near Haleyville, and how we did miss them. They were so much help in the church. The question was never asked "were Bro. and Sister Bradberry at church?", for they were, unless sickness prevented, and the children and grandchildren, if they will only live as this good mother and grandmother lived, you will meet again. Seems like we can almost hear her say "good Master, have you come, I am only waiting". In these sad hours when death takes our loved ones, though there seems only one thing that we can do and that is to go and tell Jesus about it; we know that He is always ready and sufficient in grace and sympathy, and that He will carry us through these trials, if we will only lean on Him all the way....

Hi -- I picked up the e-mail below off the PML I receive daily (an old service of RootsWeb). I am NOT researching the Hightower family. However, I am curious to know if anyone know's anything about the "Nixon's Store" mentioned in the e-mail below. My husband had Nixons in West Ga/East AL and would be curious to know more. Thank you!

B. Sept 1894 Al. married 3/8/1917 Carroll Co. Ga., Myrtle Nixon b 1892 D. 1973. Linda: I can tell you more on the "Nixon" connection -- Myrtle was the daughter of Robert Paran Nixon & Annie Lenora Bohanan. Robert was named for the two gentlemen that saved his father's life in the War: Abner Nixon wrote of Robert's name in the family bible: "I name this child in honor of Dr. Robert Steele of Pinkingville, Illinois, a Federal Surgeon, and Mr. Paran, a Confederate Soldier. Dr. Steele amputated my wounded foot march 24, 1863 and treated me kindly while I was prisoner of war. Mr. Paran was from Texas. He nursed me while confined after my foot was amputated. To the kindness of these two men and the helping of God, I owe my life. I do not name this child in honor of the Federal cause. I am, was, and will be a States Rights Democrat." Per Abner & Eliza Matilda (McSwain) Nixon family bible, in possession of Andrew Lovelace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Myrtle's paternal Grandparents were Abner Nixon & Eliza Matilda McSwain. We would love to determine his parents. . . I think he may be some sort of Kin to the Absalom "Hawk" Nixon gang of Randolph Co., AL. I think Abner may have ties to the Old 96/Laurens District, SC area as does Absalom. Her maternal grandfather was Joseph Alavia Bohannon Myrtle was also sister to "The Twins" - Mable & Mildred Nixon. Mable married Joseph Arthur Walls. Mildred married Virgil Preston Nixon, kin to my husband's Nixon line [Joseph Nixon/Martha Ward of Oglethorpe > Walton > Coweta Co.). The Twins were born in 1908. Mable died in 2003; Mildred died in 2004, so they both lived well into their 90s. They did some family research and I have a copy of the work they did, as Mildred tried to find a connection b/t her families Nixon branch and that of her husband's. Found this on B. H.

One of my gr grandfather's brothers, James Tillero/Tillaro PUCKETT & w/Eliza Clementine DUKE moved from Coweta Co GA to Cherokee Co. AL in about 1880 & then eventually ended up in Upshur Co., TX where they lived their lives. Others in the family lived in Cleburne Co. AL, I believe. I'm looking for any info on these folks and/or surnames in these areas. There was a John & Dorcas PUCKETT in Cherokee Co. & also some ROBERTS & I would really like to find more on them. James T. PUCKETT was the son of Andrew Jackson PUCKETT (b 1804, SC) & Frances E. ROBERTS ( 1816, GA), known as Jack & Fanny & were married in 1837, Coweta Co. GA. I can't seem to find their families of origin anywhere. Thanks for any clue. Diane Puckett Ethridge Conroe, TX

Forgot to add that the Pucketts also married into the Duke & Hogan families. Have lots of info & pictures to share with anyone interested in these lines. The Puckett/Barber couple are my line & they moved to Columbia Co. AR in about 1888.
