I wonder if someone on the list has a good perspective on any military presence in Georgia around 1810 or thereabouts. I would appreciate background information that anyone can lend regarding this question. Thank you very much. Lonna Jean

Wanted to pass along some news from the Fort Hawkins Historical commission. I received this from Dianne Wilcox who has written the very extensive history of Fort Hawkins. [email protected] http://www.rootsweb.com/~gajones/hawkins.htm This page gives a review of this book (and how to purchase it). Dianne has also provided parts of it for on-line research. the new print would make a nice gift for someone with a special connection to this area of Georgia. ==========================from Dianne================ Our current push at Fort Hawkins (the blockhouse site) is fundraising. On February 8, 2002 the City of Macon acquired the land needed to restore Fort Hawkins 1.4 acre stockade compound. This past Saturday, we (Georgia Military College and the Fort Hawkins Commission) unveiled a professional artwork titled "Where it All Began." The art, now to be reproduced as prints, shows the blockhouse, the bust of Benjamin Hawkins, a frontiersman on his horse, and a branch of Macon's cherry blossoms. People interested in buying a print to support Fort Hawkins' rebuilding should make checks for $25 (each print) to the Community Foundation of Central Georgia "FOR" Fort Hawkins print, and send the checks to me. I will personally deliver prints in the Middle Georgia area, but people outside the area should include a $5 mailing fee. The prints should be ready in six to eight weeks.

Damaged Spurrier Grave Marker. Seeking relatives of: Byron J. Spurrier, Born July 1, 1903 and Died Sept. 14, 1954. and Vassie S. Spurrier, Born Feb. 5 1900 and Died Sept. 18, 1954. Buried in Hillcrest Cemetery on Stanton Road in East Point, Ga. Family and Friends of Hillcrest Cemetery is seeking family members of the two listed above to inform them that the SPURRIER Gravestone has become un attached from its base and is laying about 5 feet from the base. We wanted to notify the family if they wanted to have it repaired. My phone # in Georgia, 404-762-0940. Our Web Site: http://www.geocities.com/hillcrest_ep/index.html We can try and get volunteers together and do it but the granite stone is a very large companion marker and would take several people. Or the family may want to hire a professional monument company to do the work. Other than being un attached from the base, there is no other apparent damage. Thanks, Steven Family and Friends of Hillcrest Cemetery.
The History of Confederate Memorial Day For Confederate History Month From: [email protected] April 19, 2002 Permission is granted to repost, reprint and rebroadcast!!!!! April 26th is Confederate Memorial Day In Georgia and many states!!!! "Confederate History and Heritage Month" A Month of Remembrance By Calvin E. Johnson, Jr. Kennesaw, Georgia Web site: http://members.aol.com/dix414036/opinions/index.htm "Confederate History and Heritage Month" A Month of Remembrance!!!!! American's have always held a very special place in their heart for young people and most especially their children. Moma's and Daddy's show love for their children, teach them great values and right from wrong and tell them great stories of their Grandpa's and Grandma's who helped build this great country. In 2002, American's, everywhere, will remember and pay tribute to the men and women who sacrificed all and fought for the right of determination and the Confederate Cause, during April's month long celebration of Confederate History and Heritage Month. During the last decade Governor's, Mayor's and County Commissioners have honored those who wore the Confederate Gray with Proclamations. It has been more then a century since the 1st Confederate Memorial Day's were observed throughout this nation and I believe this story about a Moma's love for her little girl is a great story to tell about the origin of Confederate Memorial Day which now has become a month long occasion. Bring you kids close in and share with them this wonderful story. It was written in the year of Lord and Savior 1893, in that years issue of the Confederate Veteran Magazine, an article by Mrs. George Frye stated that Mrs. Charles J. Williams of Columbus, Georgia instituted the custom of decorating soldiers' graves with flowers, a custom which has been adopted by many states of the US. Mrs. Williams was the daughter of Major John Howard, of Milledgeville, Georgia, and was considered a very superior woman. She married Major C.J. Williams on his return home from the War with Mexico. As Colonel of the 1st Georgia Regiment, of the Army of Virginia during the War Between the States, he contracted a disease, and died in 1862. Mrs. Williams and her little girl visited his grave everyday, and often comforted themselves by wreathing it with flowers. While the mother sat abstractly thinking of the loved one, the little girl would pluck the weeds from the unmarked soldiers' graves, near her fathers, and cover them with flowers, calling them her soldiers' graves. After a short time the Angel's summoned the little girl to be with her father. The sorely bereaved mother took charge of the unknown graves for her child's sake, and as she cared for them, thought of the thousands of patriot graves throughout the South. Far away from home and kindred a plan was suggested to her of setting a day apart in each year, that one may pay tribute to valor throughout the United States. She started out, with help from the press, to generate interest in Legislation from the Potomac to the Rio Grande that would make April 26th the day set aside for Confederate Memorial Day and it was done in many states. Mrs. Williams died on April 15, 1874, and was buried with full military honors. She lived long enough to see her plan a huge success and in 2002, the memory lives on for the men and women of Dixie who gave us such a wonderful heritage. April will be Proclaimed far and wide as "Confederate History and Heritage Month." Learn more about the men and women of the Old Confederacy through your library and historical group.
