It is still in operation. Opposite side of Ocmulgee is Jasper County. The plant went into operation about 1911, maybe a little earlier as some of these men were hired as watchmen and different job titles. There were boarding houses built there which provided housing for the single and married men. This was way out from any place, about 10 miles to Jackson or Monticello, Ga. The boarding houses were later converted and given to the men who worked at the plant. (I lived in one of them with parents from birth until about 21 when I left home). They have all now been torn down or sold and moved to another site This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 10.9 Kb

Argus – Week of March 17, 1883 Memorium – Charles Green Webb The subject of this notice, Charles Green Webb, was born in Jasper County, Ga., July 26, 1813, was married to Miss Cynthia Dawson, of Putnam County, and died at his late home in Monroe County Feb. 26, 1883. Mr. Webb was a man of humble pretension and modest manner. A kind husband and father, and universally jut to the world. He had been a member of Fellowship Primitive Baptist Church about thirty years and lived an irreproachable consistent life. Though not possessed of great physical strength, he was ever industrious, orderly and neat, and it can truly be said of him that he kept his home in order, both spiritually and temperedly. We have known him for years, and regarded him as the soul of honor and truth. What he told us we believed emphatically, and it deeply grieves us to see the land marks of integrity pass away. His devoted wife, six children, and many fond relatives survive him to mourn their irreparable loss. On several occasions he asked his attending physician what he thought of his condition stating calmly that he had no fears of death, gave the trial of living his devoted family. A large concourse of sorrowing friends attended his funeral, which gave abundant testimony of the loss of their honored and useful citizen. March 2nd, 1883.

Jasper-Newton County GaArchives News.....Murder at Covington, Ga. December 28 1882 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Don Bankston digitaldog1@juno.com April 9, 2004, 8:39 pm Middle Ga. Argus – Week of December 28, 1882 Murder at Covington, Ga. Last Saturday evening about 3 o’clock. Will Smith of Jasper County, and James Banks, of Newton County, met in a bar-room at Covington, Ga. A quarrel arose about cards, and a scuffle ensued. Smith was pressing it, while Banks was declining. Smith, with a large navy pistol, a six shooter, shot Banks through the body. He staggered into the next door and expired. The murderer ran. He was pursued by white and colored men, and when overtaken, Alexander Hendricks, colored, with a rock in his hand, ordered him to stop. He was turned upon by the murderer and shot through the body. He fell. Then another pursuer fired at Smith, putting a ball through his hat. Sheriff Anderson with a posse, came up with the murderer about a mile distant south of the town, and he was seen to hide himself behind a pile of brush. Anderson was told of his position. Riding up, he demanded Smith’s surrender. At the peril of his life, he was taken by the sheriff. When the officer, with Smith, arrived in the town, the scene was indescribable. A yell was raised and the crowd ran to meet them, crying out, “Kill him;” let us hang him.” There was a large crowd in town and it was with difficulty that Smith could pass through the streets. Excitement is still high. A strong guard is on duty, and the law will be executed. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.9 Kb
