Lindy, There is so little information coming from Clay County and the Fort Gaines area, it would be wonderful to read the article dated 5 Oct 1900 transcribed to online. Blakely, Bluffton and Fort Gaines was where my dad grew up, as well as Shorterville and vicinity. Thank you for being so gracious in your offer! I speak for others also...You are a blessing for the information you are providing us.
