We have fifty five Confederate and four Union veterans buried in this cemetery of less than five hundred marked burials. Although Andrew Benjamin Brookins is not buried there, he was identified by the WPA Graves Registration project of 1940-41 as having been buried there. I finally located him in the Wildwood cemetery nearby with wife, daughters and relatives. He does not have a Confederate marker at this time. Will be working on that. Hopefully, if all goes well, will be publishing an article about him and his family in the Polk County Historical Quartely in the future. your Alabama research will be invaluable to this project. You may contact me at my E mail address. crackertracker@ij.net Thanks.

I've studied it along and couldn't find a link to my William Feagin that married Nancy Creason. We've just returned from our 17th trip to Paducah, KY. I've found through those years my Feagin/Creason kin, second, third, and on cousins; also, Ezell kin. Descendants now, live in Calloway, McCracken, Marshall, Graves Counties. We always stay at Best Inns, KY Oaks Mall, Paducah; we visit a number of them along; they visit us at the motel too and my husband and I love to go esp in October to see all the beautiful fall colors. Have you found any info that might be part of my Feagin line? I would still like to find my William Feagin's parents; I still believe a widow, Mary Fagan with two daughters who lives in Graves Co., also, a Fagan--William's name 1850 Census was Fagan but with later census, land deeds, he spelled it Feagin--one that was called Lovell, Lewis, Love, Lovelace at different times, spelled it Feagain; even now, in one cemetery, brothers spelled it Feagain and Feagin. From info have and pictures, William and Love were brothers or very close kin. They and the Widow Mary were born in NC. Along, I see your name--even back to the "de Fay-Kan"--and have a copy of your and Pat Feagins, "Our Origins". I have a lot of Feagin, etc. info and Feagin kin in TN, TX, OK, have found me and we've shared. Some have even come to visit. With our being 81 & 82, health, children, grandchildren, a great granddaughter, and in Today's World, still much to deal with, we're slower, stay behind; can't quote this exactly but we've had enough good things to happen to keep us thankful and enough not so good, to keep us humble--well, enough to keep us praying! It's after twelve p.m. I would like to hear from you. Lois

Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QS.2ADE/439.1 Message Board Post: George Marquis died in Bartow Florida, Feb. 14, 1902. The obituary provided the following information: February 19, 1902 Courier Informant, Bartow, Fla., page 1 - Death of Mr. George Marquis. - After a lingering illness of a month Mr. george Marquis died at his home last Thursday at 6 o'clock p. m., surrounded by his three sons, his daughters in law and grandchildren. He had been in declining health for two years, but was not confined to his room except for the past few weeks. Mr. Marquis was born in Belmont County, O., November 19, 1820, studied in Crawford and Logan Counties, O., and later at academies in Steubenville, O., and West Alexander, Va., graduated at Jefferson Collage, Pa., in 1846, and received the degree of A. M., from that institution in 1849; was admitted to the bar at Tuskeegee, Ala., in 1852; married Miss Mary Robert Jones at Tuskeegee 1854, moved to Milton, Fla., in 1867, was a member of Florida Legislature 1881-83, was a Judge of County court 1885-89. Since the death of his wife about ten years ago, he has made his home with his son, Mr. L. Q. Marquis. In ! the death of Mr. Marquis, Bartow has lost one of her most loved and respected citizens. His cheerful disposition and temperate habits gave him long life and made him many friends. though he was more than four score years of age, and had retired from active life, he was a congenial companion even with the young, and took keen interest in public events. He was a man of striking neatness of person, clearness of thought, frankness and fearlessness in speech, of admirable self respect. Mr. Marquis was a man of stern and inflexible devotion to what he believed was right, earnest with out being a bigot, tolerant without being indifferent. He was faithful in the various relations of life, loyal to his friends, devoted to his church, affectionate in his family. With the strengthening consolation and the cheering hope of the Christian faith, willing and waiting, he passed peacefully from the life here to the life beyond. A large procession of friends marched to the old cemetery, where! his remains now rest by the side of a beloved son who died here a few years ago. E. B. K.
