Honor Roll - Doyle High School - Lilan (Lillian?)

He has, perhaps, several tons of iron, a quantity of brass and a little of everything that will come in handy to a farmer, miller, ginner, machinist and general tinker. Hon. J.S. Rogers is cutting down his old orchards and burning them. They have reached the age where the crops from them are not profitable and the old trees will produce and harbor injurious insects.

Battle, an aged and honored citizen of Schley, died in Ellaville Sunday night at the advanced age of 94. Mr. and Mrs. J.S.

There is so little on-line about the veterans of the Spanish American war. Here is an exciting new web site. Major Micah J. Jenkins Camp of the Sons of Spanish American War Veterans. They are based out of Georgia, North & South Carolina, and also temporarily are extended to include Virginia, and Florida. Be sure to visit their site! http://www.geocities.com/sonsofspanamwar/ You'll find a history of the war, the rosters by States. Take a look and you may discover someone you didn't know had served there. They are working to obtain burial sites for all these veterans. A special page helps you with starting your research! http://www.spanamwar.com/geneaol.htm And remember, we also would like to post on our County pages more information about this war. So if you have veterans in your family, please share. It would be nice to make sure the burial information on-line includes their war service. Virginia

My May Taylor Tracer just arrived! The headline really catches your attention "My 2nd Great-Grandmother was not a person".... John Adams helps us remember how women could not own property or even bring lawsuits (some "friend" would have to do that for them) You'll really enjoy the history that he provides for us on this subject. You'll also enjoy his story about Priscilla Willis and how he looked for "Meger" for year...she was a McGee. Her grave was one of the covered ones in Shiloh Primitive Baptist Cemetery. Another woman he featured was Rebecca Anna Phillips who lived in Taylor and wrote in The Gospel Messenger. She wrote about her experience in "leaving the Missionary Baptist Church and uniting with the Primitive Baptist".... I thought her life was interesting to read. Crowell School 1925-1926 Photo and some are identified ! Then there are many many articles from The Butler Herald for Sept 1908 - July 1909. You're sure to find someone that you're interested in. I was intrigued to read an obit on Mrs. Lydia (Peacock) Martin. I knew she was kin to me somehow...and had to pull out my chart to figure out that she married the brother of my great-grandmother (Nicey Martin Jinks). And what was really nice is that I could learn by the listing the married names of some of the daughters and where they lived. Be sure to encourage your Library to subscribe to The Taylor Tracer....and all your friends too! Virginia

Wasn't that a nice photo that Angela Covington shared with us : Shiloh-Marion Baptist Church I'm really looking forward with the minutes that she is going to be sharing in the future. I noticed that it was added to the Historic Registry in 1984 and listed as "private" ownership. Does that mean that a person now owns it, and it isn't used for worship any longer? I'm sure those sacred walls heard many heartfelt prayers from parishoners over the years. I often think about how many young children died in their early years and what a sorrow this was to their parents. Virginia
