Thomas was born about 1836 in Georgia. One of his sons Richard (1876) is my g-g-grandfather. I am finding it difficult to go from the Norths in Hudson County, NJ to the Norths in Coweta County, GA. Perhaps we can share some information? Look forward to hearing more about Coweta County. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

W. Perdue last Tuesday. It was an accidental gathering and no special arrangements had been made, but all the children were present except one, Mr. Ed S. Perdue, of Chattanooga, Tenn. It had been a long time since so near all the children had gathered under one roof to look upon mother and to think of the noble example she had always set before them. She is now growing old and nothing gives her more pleasure than to look out into the world and see the family she has reared and the stations they fill in life. Those present were: Hon. L. A. Perdue, of Newnan, Col. J. H. Perdue, and Mr. Albert Perdue, of Birmingham, Ala., Mrs. C. P. Sanders, of Roscoe, Mrs. W. F. Jones, of Woolsey, Mrs. W. S. Bloodworth, of Thomaston, Mrs. B. P.

We are having plenty of rain these days. Some few have begun pulling fodder; must like to pull fodder as it will certainly not cure in the rain. Death has again visited our community and taken for its victim one of our brightest young girls, Miss Lutie McLane. She had been sick for about six weeks, and on last Sunday night death come to her relief. She was only sixteen years old. She joined the Baptist church at Woolsey about three years ago and was a true Christian. She was most always at her place in the Sunday school and once recited the 119th Psalm, which has 176 verses, and at Sunday school she always had a good lesson and a verse to recite. She will be greatly missed by the entire community as well as by her relatives. She leaves a father and mother, two brothers and two sisters to mourn her departure. She was buried at Woolsey Tuesday morning, the funeral service being conducted by Rev. Smith, of Locust Grove, and Rev. Johnson, of Fayetteville. The bereaved ones have our sympathy. The little babe of Samuel Dunn died last SAturday morning and was buried at White Water Sunday morning, Rev. H. S. Reese conducting the funeral service. They have our sympathy. Mrs. J. F.

It often occurs that the happenings of the surrounding country which would be of interest to many readers do not come to my knowledge in time for publication. If a baby is born tell me about it. If you have visitors from a distance, let me know it. If anything happens which would interest and entertain you, should you read it as having eminated from some other community then send it along, I will be glad to get it. Mrs. N. N. Henslee is quite sick at this writing. Rev. R. F. Hodnett filled the appointment of Rev. Walraven here Sunday afternoon, the latter being engaged in a series of meetings at Mt. Gilead. The third quarterly conference for this work will be held here the latter part of this month. Quite a large number of the citizens of this section attended the Hall murder trial last week. Some have attended court at least ten days. The loss of time, board bills, etc., amount to a considerable item. How often it is the case that the conduct of one person involves the welfare of many others. W. M. Shipp said family, of Powder Springs, have returned home, after visiting relatives here several days. Miss Willie Drake has returned to her position in Atlanta, after spending her vacation at home. J. B. Henslee spent several days recently in Douglas county, the home of his boyhood days. He reports many manifestations of the spirit of progress in every section visited. He also attended the Chattahoochee Singing Convention while gone and had a pleasant time. Preparations are under way to have an entertainment at the close of school. The fact that it will be given is assurance that it will be a success. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Pennington a fine baby girl. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Putman has been quite sick for several days. Mr. Isaac Henslee and his sister, Miss Rosa, of Villa Rica, have been the guests of the family of J. B.

Ben says tell Clinton to leave home Saturday morning and buy his ticket through over the Southern to Pine Level by the way of Raleigh. I dont know whether he will get here to Pine Level at 7 a.m. or 2 afternoon. I will find out the first time I go over to Pine Level this week. We will meet him Sunday at Pine Level. I am glad he is coming and I hope he will be satisfied. The young man with us seems to be well pleased. I have two men boarding with me and I am expecting more next week. We are out 8 or 9 miles and no place to stay so I had to take them. I just wish you was out here with us too. I was so sorry to hear of Olivers wifes fathers death. Extend to her my deepest sympathy. I know just what it means to go through such trials. We had a big rain up here Saturday. Crops is suffering bad up here. Every body busy now curing tobacco. I dont know whether you ever saw a tobacco barn they are made air tight with a cement furnace run across the house and pipes running all around the room the tobacco is hung from roof to floor and the furnace heated for 3 or 4 days and nights.

Hi Lena, I'm going to the courthouse one day this week and possibly to the Historical Society to do a look up for someone else. I will look to see what I can find for you and let you know. My time is limited as I work full time but I'll let you know if I find anything. I will also take pictures of headstones if you want them. Just let me know.

Dear Pat, I cannot thank you enough! If there is any information on it, I would be highly interested in knowing if Thomas Oscar changed his name from Willaford to Sprayberry himself or if perhaps his wife 're-took' the name of Sprayberry after his death which occurred before the 1910 census was taken. He is buried over in DeKalb County in the Masters Family Cemetery where many of our Sprayberry's (& obviously my Masters family members) are buried, but no dates are on his grave marker. I would love pictures of the tombstones, when you have time. I do not know where everyone is buried but do know of the following: Cathie MAYFIELD Peppers & her husband W. R. (do not know what the initials stand for) 'Plunk' Peppers are buried in Hopewell Methodist Church Cemetery; Highway 74, Downtown Tyrone. They share a gravestone. In the same cemetery are buried Cousin Josie & her husband Pomp; Cousin Marvin 'Bud' Mayfield (15 June 1917 - 13 March 1967) & his wife Edna has a shared tombstone with him but the only date for hers, according to the 1999 survey (& I cannot find a death date for her on Ancestry) is 1916. In Sharon Memorial Garden on old Highway 74, Tyrone, Georgia: Sanford G. Mayfield 1906 - 1999 Mildred G. Mayfied 1912 - 1984 (Shared Tombstone) There is also a Marvin L. Mayfield, 1940 - 1997, who could be a son of Sanford & Mildred based solely on the fact that Josie & Pomp had a son named Marvin in 1918 & I figured perhaps they named him after Sanford's brother. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you, & please take your time (I am in no rush :) ).
