Tim, Thanks for sending those links. They are all concerning Fitzgerald, Ga. from what I read. The question was about another plan of Fitzgerald's for another "community" in 1905 in Georgia. I did not see anything there that answered that but I did not know the full name of his company before reading those either, all I had was Colony Company as was quoted in the newspaper article. I will see what I can dig up using the full name of the company. And again, if anyone knows of another community planned by Fitzgerald, please let me know. Thanks! Linda B.
