Subj: looking Date: 5/8/01 7:26:26 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: sdholland@mindspring.com (Shirley Holland) To: GAFULTON-L@rootsweb.com Searching for children or grand children of Wallas-Wallace Derrick. Children of John G Derrick & Nanci C his wife. Both buried at Union Christian Church Cemetery. Children or g children of Kleckley (Kleck) Derrick, Felton Derrick, Eric Derrick, Florence Derrick Thompson & George Wallace. Has anyone in their searching or walking cemeteries seen a marker for Andrew Derrick-d 1871. Thought to be living in East Point, GA at the time of death. When his wife applied for a pension she gave a PO box in East Point, Ga. Just perhaps someone out there will know the above family. All of these belong to the same family. I know where most are buried, just do not know how to connect them with children or g children living. Shirley

Looking for any information on John Henry Brown in Fulton County, Georgia

I have posted a couple of deeds for the property of Big Springs United Methodist Church on the GenConnect Cherokee County Deeds board. http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/CherokeeDeed Of particular interest might be an 1854 deed which lists the 57 original subscribers to the Big Springs Methodist Camp Ground. This would provide some evidence that these men were in the Cherokee/Milton/Forsyth County area in 1854..

Sam, what is the LIST you are referring to? I am not familiar with a LIST. Is it on a website? I am looking through some of my materials to find his name. Oh, here it is in a publication Court of Appeals of Georgia 1997. Page 26 Complete Roster of the Judges of the Court of Appeals of Georgia--1907-1912. (Leo Frank Case started in 1913) Arthur G. Powell is also listed on page 28 in the Bibliography. His book I Can Go Home written in 1943 is listed as well as his article in the Georgia Review on the Birth of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Sam, I have found that sometimes we have to put our ancestors names on those LISTS. Keep in mind that most names on LISTS originate from family members perpetuating their family heritage and they are not particularly interested in mine. We are like public relations folks for our ancestors; it takes energy and time and research. Good luck! ann in Atlanta annboutwel@aol.com

Subj: {not a subscriber} Powell Date: 5/2/01 1:05:36 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: SamsPAD@aol.com To: gafulton-l@rootsweb.com A relative of mine (Arthur Gray Powell) was from Early, Ga and was one of the first Appeals Court judges in 1907. He also wrote a book (I can go home again) and tried to get Leo Frank sentence overturned. How come their is no mention of him in the famous people section? Also his brother (Richard Holmes Powell) was the first President of the Georgia Women's College in 1915 and there is no mention of him either? Thanks Sam Powell

Yes, Help is needed with the transcription. Gene vessell is our Historical preservasonist and you can call him at 404-684-0879 and he can arrange for you to help him our meet you or anyone interested at the cemetery and show you what has and hans't been transcribed yet. Now, a project of mine is to repair and restore the only wrought iron fence in the cemetery (Actually there are two but one is new and the one Im targeting is right at 1900's turn of the century. it is the Reuben and Eliza Phillips, J.W. Wilder and William H. Vaughn plot. Anyone wanting to see my report on its condition ask and I will email it. To help with this project, call me at 404-762-0940. Steven

Thanks for the reply. Is any help needed with the transcription of the headstones? Or comparisons to the Necrology?

Hi, Most likely. He did all cemeteries within a 30 mile radius of the city of Atlanta and the cemetery sets close to the city limits. We had intended to take a look at the Garrett records so, after Gene Vessell completed the transcription, we could compare them and see what he may have missed in the latest transcription that was transcribed by Mr. Garrett. We thought that would be a good idea as some of the stones are sunken from view at this date. Steven Family and Friends of Hill Crest Cemetery.

Does anyone know if Franklin Garrett enumerated the graves that are in Hillcrest when he devised his necrology?

In John Copeland Todd's will dated May 23, 1925, he leaves his African American servant Pearl Pace land on the West side of Lakeview Avenue 150 feet South of Greenwood Avenue where she was living at the time. This section was once on the West siide of Ponce de Leon Ball Park. Today of course it would be Midtown Place where the Home Depot and Border Books stand. Has anyone ever heard of this area being called Rooster Foot? I know Jonh's father, Richard Copeland Todd had slaves and I believe they lived in the area bordering today's Midtown and Virginia-Highland Neighborhood. Some old timers remember Rooster Foot but I want to know where it was. Ann in Atlanta

Someone aske about Magnolia Cemetery. It is in the area of Hollywood Courts in Atlanta. Ouy hjightower and Bankhead roads--right next to Hollywood Cemetery.

I drove threw, The Oldest most historical sections and the entire back section . SO PLEASE COME HELP!! Saturday April 21, 8:00 a.m. Hill Crest on Stanton Rd, East Point Ga. Hywy 166 Langford Prwy exit at stanton road. Steven

Seems the mayor is having the intire cemetery cut the day before our clean up to take the wind out of our organization and use it to take credit for it. While we apperciate the fact it is being cleaned, the motives are hurtful. PLEASE ATTEND THE CLEAN UP ANY WAY!!! There is still much to do and we need to also transcribe the cemetery, When you arrive the cemetery will be in a cleaner state than I had described. BUT PLEASE STILL ATTEND AS MANY MANY THINGS STILL NEED TO BE DONE TO RESTORE THE DIGNITY! Steven K. Bramlett Family and friends of Hill Crest Cemetery.
