The association was organized nine years ago and now has thirty preachers. The crowd in attendance was very large, having come from all the neighboring country, and was variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000. Rev. Strong, of Macon, preached to a large crowd in the courthouse yard Sunday morning, and a large crowd including many white people heard him. His sermon was a practical one, somewhat on the Sam Jones order, and his theme was work – physical and spiritual labor. Our sheriff, who is a prominent farmer, said the sermon was worth any farmer’s dollar and he donated that amount in the collection. The Rev. Bryant, of Americus, preached at the courthouse at night at the special request of the whites, on the subject of charity, and his remarks were forcible and logical. It is gratifying to note the progress the colored people are making in their religious affairs, and it is still more commendable that out of the large crowd which assembled here Sunday not a single discord was heard – not the slightest disturbance. All the white people commended them for their good behavior.

Terrell-Bibb-Stewart County GaArchives Biographies.....Gurr, William H. 1871 - living in 1913 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Joy Fisher sdgenweb@yahoo.com October 23, 2004, 10:43 am Author: William Harden p. 929-930 WILLIAM H. GURR. An able and worthy representative of the legal fraternity of Terrell county, William H. Gurr, one of the leading attorneys of Dawson, is a fluent, earnest and convincing advocate, and through his industry and ability has built up a large and remunerative practice in his adopted city. A son of Edward M. Gurr, he was born in Bibb county, Georgia, February 9, 1871. His grandfather, Samuel Gurr, was born in South Carolina, a son of John Gurr, who is supposed to have been the founder of the American family of Gurr. Samuel Gurr grew to man's estate in South Carolina, and was there reared to habits of industry and thrift. Early in life he migrated to Georgia, settling in Houston county in pioneer days, bravely daring all the privations and hardships of life in a new country, in order to pave the way for those who followed, and to establish a home for his children. Buying land that was in its original wildness, he was there engaged in agricultural pursuits during the remainder of his years. He married Elizabeth Bishop, a native of South Carolina, and she survived him, passing away at the age of four score years. They reared eight children, as follows: Elvira, Thomas Jefferson, Robert, Mattie, Edward M., James P., John W., and Samuel D. Edward M. Gurr first opened his eyes to the light of the world on a farm in Houston county, Georgia, where he lived until sixteen years old. Then ambitious to become a wage-earner, he entered the employ of the Central Georgia Railroad, with which he was connected as an employe until thirty years old, in that capacity having been exempt from military service during the Civil war. After the death of his father, he purchased a part oil the old homestead, and managed it for three years. He then traded that property for a farm in Crawford county, where he resided until his early death, at the age of forty-two years in 1887. His wife, whose maiden name was Nancy Balkcom, was a native of Quitman county. Her father, Ichabod Balkcom, who died in the Confederate army during the war between the states, moved with his family from Jones county to Quitman county, and on the farm which he purchased his wife, nee Caroline Moore, spent her remaining years. Both the Moore and Balkcom families were reared in Monroe county, and moved to Quitman county about the same time. Mrs. Edward M. Gurr survived her husband four years, dying in 1891. She was the mother of eight children as follows: James W., William H., Thomas Edward, Frank B., Mattie L., Fanny G., Ophelia, and Belle. As a boy, William H. Gurr, in his efforts to obtain an education, used to walk three miles to the rural schools of his native county. The knowledge thus acquired was further advanced at higher institutions of learning, he having attended first the Cuthbert Military College, and later Emory College in Oxford, Georgia, from which he was graduated with the class of 1897. In June, 1898, Mr. Gurr enlisted in Ray's Regiment of Immunes, designated as Third Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry, and went with this command to Cuba, where he remained eight months, being stationed at Santiago, Baracoa, and Sagua de Tanamo. He was honorably discharged with his regiment, May 2, 1899, and on his return home turned his attention to the study of law, a profession for which he is well adapted. In January, 1900, Mr. Gurr was admitted to the bar, and immediately located at Dawson, where he has been in continuous practice ever since. In September, 1900, Mr. Gurr married Helen H. Giles, who was born in Stewart county, Georgia, a daughter of William H. and Martha (Boyette) Giles. William H. Giles was born on a farm seven miles west of Lumpkin in Stewart county, February 5, 1851. His father was John Frank Giles, who it is thought, was a native of Baldwin county, this state. Anyhow he came from that portion of the state about 1835, and located in the wilderness of south Georgia. He was one of the men who bore the pioneer burden in a country sparsely settled without railroads, where wild game of all kinds was in abundance, and where the Indians roamed through the forest still claiming the privileges of hunting as they had for generations. Grandfather Giles was in south Georgia in time to participate in the final overthrow of the Indian tribes of Florida and Georgia, and. fought in the battle of Roanoke in 1836. He was subsequently for a number of years an overseer on plantations in Stewart county, and his death occurred when about sixty-five years of age. He married Mary Armstrong, who was born in Baldwin county, a daughter of James H. and Mary (Davis) Armstrong. Her death occurred at the age of seventy-two. Their seven children were named Mary F., Sarah A., J. Alexander, William H., George P., John F., and Robert F. William H. Giles was reared on a farm, received his early education in some of the Stewart county schools, and a considerable part of his early youth was spent during the troublous times of the Civil war. He became one of the prosperous farmers of this county, and continued actively in those pursuits until 1893, at which time he removed to Richland, where he has since been proprietor of the principal hotel of that town. When twenty-two years of age he married Miss Maggie Boyett, who was born in Clay county, Georgia, a daughter of James and Sarah (Adams) Boyett. Mr. Giles and wife reared two children, the first being Helen Holmes, wife of Mr. Gurr, and the second being Willard James. Mr. Gurr has served for five years as city attorney, and is now solicitor of the city court of Dawson. An active and influential party since casting his first presidential vote for William J. Bryan, Mr. Gurr has since served as a delegate to two state conventions, and was a delegate to the national Democratic convention held in Baltimore in 1912. Fraternally Mr. Gurr is a member of P. T. Schley lodge No. 229, Ancient Free and Accepted Order of Masons, and belongs to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon college fraternity.

Brooks-Bibb-Dougherty County GaArchives Biographies.....Powell, Alfred Jackson 1856 - living in 1913 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Joy Fisher sdgenweb@yahoo.com October 20, 2004, 9:03 pm Author: William Harden p. 875-876 ALFRED JACKSON POWELL. An industrious and prosperous tiller of the soil, Alfred Jackson Powell, living in the Dixie district, owns and occupies a well-managed farm, on which he has a substantial set of farm buildings, located just outside the corporate limits of the town of Dixie, these with their surroundings having an air of neatness and prosperity that never fails to attract the attention of the passing traveler. He was born September 23, 1856, in Arkansas, where his father, Dr. Alfred Jackson Powell, was then engaged in the practice of his profession. Dr. Powell was born in North Georgia, his parents having been farmers, who spent the later years of their lives in Wilkes county, Georgia. After his graduation from the Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, Dr. Powell took a special course of study in the Baltimore hospitals, acquiring knowledge and experience of great value to him in his work. Returning then to his native state, he practiced medicine for awhile in Worth county, and then located in Arkansas, about twenty-five miles from Little Rock. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil war, the doctor came back to Georgia, settling his family in Dougherty county, and enlisted in the Confederate service as hospital surgeon, a position which he filled acceptably until the war was ended. Going then to Chihuahua, Mexico, Dr. Powell learned the language of the natives, and there continued his residence as a physician and surgeon until his death. The maiden name of the wife of Dr. Powell was Georgiana Elizabeth Jordan. She was born in Bibb county, Georgia, a daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Hays) Jordan, being of Scotch-Irish descent. Removing from Bibb county to Worth county, Georgia, Joshua Jordan bought land on the Flint river, twenty-two miles from Albany, and was there extensively engaged in agricultural pursuits, operating his large plantation with slave labor, both he and his wife spending their last days there. For some time after the close of the war Dr. Powell's wife resided on her farm in Dougherty county, Georgia, but her later years were spent in Moultrie, Colquitt county, where her death occurred when she was about seventy-five years of age. She reared five children, as follows: Mary, Cynthia, Elizabeth, Alfred Jackson, and Florence, all of whom, with the exception of Elizabeth, are now living. Acquiring his early education in the rural schools, Alfred Jackson Powell began when young to perform his full share of the manual labor incidental to life on a farm, becoming familiar with the theory and practice of agriculture. When twenty-two years of age he began work as a woodsman, and for twelve years was engaged in the turpentine business. Investing then his money in land, Mr. Powell bought sixty-five acres in the Dixie district of Brooks county, the improvements on the place consisting of a cleared and improved plot of a little more than twenty acres, on which stood a small board house. Beginning farming on a modest scale, Mr. Powell met with very encouraging success from the first. From time to time he has purchased other tracts lying near by, and now has a fine farm of three hundred and twenty-five acres, which he devotes to mixed husbandry, his land being under a good state of tillage, and yielding profitable harvests each season. Mr. Powell married Alice McKinnon, who was born in Brooks county, Georgia, a daughter of William G. and Mary Jane (Groover) McKinnon, and a granddaughter of James Groover, one of the first settlers of Brooks county. Two children have been born of the union of Mr. and Mrs. Powell, Wallace and Mary E. Both Mr. Powell and his wife are identified by membership with the Missionary Baptist church.

He is the son of Louis D. and Juliet Amanda (Powell) Wimberly, both natives of Bibb county. Louis Wimberly served in the Civil war in Cavalry regiment. He died at the age of thirty-five, when his son Leon Powell, was but twelve years old. The mother still lives, nearly eighty years of age, and makes her home in Hawkinsville, Pulaski county, Georgia. Such schooling as Leon Wimberly secured was in the public schools of Macon, previous to his sixteenth birthday. When he reached that age he went to work on a farm, remaining there for two years and receiving as wages five dollars a month. He was employed on the farm of Dr. Virgil Walker in Wilcox county. When he concluded his two years of farm life, Mr. Wimberly engaged in the saw mill business, being occupied for five years driving a mule team. In 1890 he had saved some money from his previous years' labors, and he became a partner in the firm for whom he had been driving mules for five years, and the firm became known as the McLeod, Denard & Wimberly Company, dealers in general merchandise. Soon after that Mr. Wimberly bought the entire business, selling a half interest to C. A. Home, and continuing with the trade until 1894, when they were burned out. Nothing daunted by his misfortunes, Mr. Wimberly again entered business alone, and after two years he sold out to one Mr. Fitzgerald and accepted a traveling position with L. Cohen & Company of Macon, dealers in whiskey, cigars and tobacco. He later became connected with Altmeyer & Flatau, dealers in the same commodities, with whom he continued for some time. Later he was appointed postmaster at Abbeville, which position he has retained since that time. He has also been engaged in merchandising from time to time, and has some farming interests as well, which he cares for in addition to his official business. Mr. Wimberly was a member of the city council of Hawkinsville while he was identified with that place, and has discharged the duties of a loyal citizen in the most praiseworthy manner while he has been in Abbeville. He is prominent in fraternal circles of the city, holding membership in the Knights of Pythias, in which order he was past chancellor and representative to the grand lodge of Georgia for two terms. He is a Royal Arch Mason. In 1891 Mr. Wimberly married Miss Ida R. Wilcox, daughter of T. D. and Roxie A. (Read) Wilcox of Irwin county. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wimberly, all of whom are deceased but one son, Leon, aged eighteen. Thomas died when about twelve years old; Justine P. died at the age of fifteen, while a student at Gordon Institute at Barnesville. Gerald was burned to death when three years of age. Two died in infancy. The wife and mother passed away on August 26, 1904. On February 14, 1906, Mr. Wimberly married Miss Carol M. Moorer of Savannah. Three children have been born to them, Juliet aged six years, Sarah, four years of age and Carol three years old.

Dooly-Bibb County GaArchives Biographies.....Woodward, Lucius Lamar 1879 - living in 1913 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Joy Fisher sdgenweb@yahoo.com October 18, 2004, 7:35 pm Author: William Harden p. 775-777 LUCIUS LAMAR WOODWARD, attorney-at-law of Vienna, Georgia, has been active in the practice of his profession in the town of his birth since he was admitted to the bar in 1897. He was born there on May 5, 1879, and is the son of Judge John Hartwell and Nancy B. (McCormack) Woodward, natives of South Carolina and Georgia, respectively. Judge Woodward, for such he came to be in later life, was born in Sumpters district, South Carolina (now Sumpter county) on January 16, 1831. He is the son of Stephen and Jane (Barnett) Woodward, natives of South Carolina, and when he was about one year old accompanied his parents to Missouri county, Alabama, where they remained until he was about six years of age, when they moved to Georgia. The family located seven miles south of Macon, Bibb county, Georgia, where they made their home until 1863, at which time they settled in Dooly county, in which district Judge Woodward has since made his home. As a young man, he read law at the suggestion of Capt. Robert A. Smith, and took advantage of the generosity of Captain Smith by making use of his office and books, prosecuting his studies principally in the evenings. He was admitted to the bar in January, 1873, but deferred the initiation of active practice for some little time, owing to a prejudice peculiar to the South which held that a gentleman might not engage in the practice of law or kindred professions and continue to hold rank as a gentleman. It is worthy of mention that the natural good sense of Judge Woodward came to his rescue after a time, and he settled down to the practice of the profession for which he had so laboriously prepared himself. He attained a degree of prominence in the polities of his state, and served in the state legislature in 1871-72, and in 1880 was a member of the senate. He was judge of the county court of Dooly county for two terms, and in all these offices he acquitted himself as a gentleman and a scholar might be expected. During the Civil war Judge Woodward was not inactive. In February, 1862, he, with W. B. Busbee, organized the Whittle Guards, Company D, Tenth Georgia Battalion, and were immediately mustered into the service. He was offered the captaincy of the company, but declined and was unanimously elected first lieutenant. His health failed to such an extent that in August of that year he was compelled to resign. In July of 1863 his wife died, and Mr. Woodward again joined the army at Macon, where he was elected second lieutenant. He served two months and was again compelled to resign owing to the impaired condition of his health. Judge Woodward was thrice married. His first wife was Carrie Sheats, daughter of Benjamin S. Sheats of Clarke county. She passed away on July 6, 1863, leaving one child, Stephen B., born October 21, 1862, who lived to reach the age of twenty years, when he died on November 27, 1882. The second marriage of Judge Woodward occurred on July 18, 1865, when he married Miss Mamie McCormack of Hawkinsville, Georgia. Nine children were born of this union. They were: John M., a merchant of Hawkinsville, Georgia; William Thomas, who died at the age of eighteen months; James Madison, a farmer near Vienna; David M., expert accountant of Tampa, Florida; Charles Cannon, editor of the Daily Tampa Times of Tampa, Florida; Mary Jane, the wife of Charles H. Turton of Vienna; Lucius Lamar, practicing law in Vienna; Carrie Sheats, the wife of Charles Gurr of Vienna; Emma B., who shares her father's home. The second wife of Judge Woodward died on December 17, 1895, and in the following year he contracted a third marriage, when Emma Peacock, the daughter of John Peacock of Houston county, became his wife. She passed away on August 26, 1901. Lucius Lamar Woodward was educated in the high school of Vienna after which he read law in the offices of his father, Judge Woodward, and Senator Crum. He was admitted to the bar on September 17, 1897, and took up the practice of law in Vienna almost immediately. He has gained a goodly clientele in the years of his labors and is highly regarded among the legal fraternity and among all those who have had occasion to look to him for legal aid or advice. His standing in the community is of a high order, and his circle of friends is unlimited, his long acquaintance in and about Vienna having won to him hosts of life-long friends. Mr. Woodward is a member of the Masonic fraternity, his affiliation being with the Shriners of Savannah, and he is a Baptist in his religious faith, while his wife is of the Methodist persuasion. Mr. Woodward was married on October 21, 1909, to Miss Louie Fenn, the daughter of H. R. and Elizabeth (Collier) Fenn, natives of Dooly county. Two children have been born to them: Elizabeth Barmelia, , and an infant son, Lamar Fenn.
