Lila Niemann Garner Well, the first courthouse was reportedly a log cabin built in 1833, and I suppose that the Cherokee "donated" that plot. However, Ellijay legally became the county seat December 20, 1834, and Clemonds Quillian donated a ten acre trace for the county seat. The inferior court accepted the gift, and designated the center as a park. (Info from "The Heritage of Gilmer County".) Wally Plumley

We have family lore that my husband's grandfather's grandaddy owned the land upon which the county courthouse was built. We originally thought we knew which county, but later information proves that we do not, and we are thinking that he might have had roots in Gilmer County. Does anyone know who owned the land upon which the courthouse was built? This is probably ante-bellum but certainly before 1870. Thanks for any help! Lila Niemann Garner

Dear Friends and Family, Last night, I opened an e-mail which contained a virus. My PC-cillin 2000 virus program did not detect it. It seems this virus connected itself to all of the e-mail addresses in my address book. I DID NOT SEND THIS TO YOU. The main malfunction I have on my computer is an inability to click on an icon on my desktop because they "run away" from the mouse cursor. IF YOU RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM ME WITH AN ATTACHMENT, PLEASE DO NO OPEN IT! DELETE THE MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY! Toni McArthur

Probably not. Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2001 13:45:28 -0600 Hey Cousins, It is said there is nothing new under the sun, but I saw something yesterday, though it may not be new, it is certainly new to me. I'll try to describe it for you. While walking through an old cemetery here in Harvey County, KS, I ran across five headstones, broken from their bases. The people who are keeping the cemetery, in very good condition I might add, have built wooden forms the thickness of the various broken stones, laid the stones flat at the head of the grave with the wooden forms around them (with about a 6 inch space all around the stones) and poured concrete into the forms flush with the face of the stones. The stones appear to have been cleaned with mild detergent and a brush. Once dried, it appears that they have poured a coating of either automotive clear coat, or the hard acrylic clear coating found in hobby shops. The end result is a stone too heavy to steal, a coating to protect the face of the stone and the preservation of information for years to come. This may not be new, but it is novel and certainly crucial to genealogy researchers in the years to come. Just thought I would share this with the list, in hopes that it will generate some protection across the nation for the many broken or damaged stones. I might add, that the ones that were in two or three or more pieces, were put together and once coated, all you see are the break lines but they can't be moved. Dean Taylor
