Larealia: Maybe this will help a little if you don't have the 1900 census for Heard County, GA: State: GA County: Heard Militia District No. 761, Texas 11 June 1900 Supervisor District 4 Enumeration District 73 Sheet No. 9 Line 95 House No. 174 / 175 Mickle, Charles M. Head of household, white male, born Sept. 1866, age 33, married 4 years, AL / AL / AL, (Dacklor?), owns home, yes yes yes House ..............A., wife, white female, born Nov 1870, age 20, married 4 yrs, 1 child born / 1 still living, GA/GA/GA, yes yes yes Hugh J., son, white male, born Dec 1897, age 3, single, GA/AL/GA.................... I have no earthly idea what that occupation for Charles was supposed to have been. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything written quite that way before.

Jane, He was a physician on another census, so do you think maybe that could be doctor? Thank you. I will try to locate that census image. Larealia
