D. CUMMINGS Dead: She Was a Well Known Lady of Harris County “News reached the city yesterday of the death of Mrs. Fletcher Davis CUMMINGS, the wife of Mr. T. J. CUMMINGS, which occurred at their home in Harris county, near Grimes, Ga., about 5 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, after an illness of five weeks. The deceased was a member of the Missionary Baptist church, and was well known in this city, having many friends here who will be pained to learn of her sad death. Besides her heart-broken husband the deceased is survived by eleven children, six sons and five daughters, two of which are twins [sic] sons five weeks old, and one brother, Mr. William McCRORY [McCRARY], of this city. The funeral took place at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the interment being at the Shippey burying ground, seven miles north of the city.” [From the "Columbus, Georgia, Daily Enquirer-Sun," Friday morning, 07 JUL 1899, p. 8.

From some cause, which we could not learn, they got into a dispute over the game, and WELCHER shot WILLIAMS, the ball entering the forehead just above the right eye. Drs. GRIMES jr,.

WILLIAMS, we understand, is in a perfect “rough;” WELCHER is represented to be a very quiet, orderly man. WELCHER made his escape.” [From the "Columbus, Georgia, Enquirer" newspaper, Sunday, 28 MAR 1875, p.3. I came across this while researching an unrelated matter.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CLAYTON, MITCHELL, MOYE, NEWSOM, NEWSOME, PIKE, WALLS, WARE Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1504 Message Board Post: “John NEWSOME Was Found Dead in Bed: Aged Citizen of Eastern Part of the County Dies Suddenly “John NEWSOME, aged 77 years, was found dead in his bed about 7:30 o’clock yesterday morning at his home about one and one-half miles east of the poor house, in Muscogee county. He had not been ill at all, and his sudden death must have been caused by an attack of heart trouble, during the night. He leaves eight children, five sons and three daughters. They are: Messrs. W. C., J. T., A. S., F. M., and G. W. NEWSOME, all of Muscogee county and Mrs. Mollie WARE and Misses Fannie and Ella NEWSOME, of Muscogee county. No funeral arrangements had been made yesterday, but the services will be held sometime during today at his home, east of the city.” [Above from the Columbus, GA, Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Tuesday, 27 OCT 1903, p. 8. Does anyone know where the poor house was located in Columbus/Muscogee Co. in 1903?] I am interested in learning more about this family, particularly the parentage of John. He appears to be the same as John NEWSOME (55, GA, peddler) who heads a household on p. 235A in Brownville, Lee Co, AL, in 1880. With him are his wife (Mary A., 42, GA, keeping house) and children Ella M. (21), William C. (19), John F. (17), Frances (14), Soloman (12), Mary A. (10), Frederick M. (8), Alice L. (6) and George W. (1). All the children were b. in GA and all age 10 or older are working in a cotton mill. My gg-gf Henry M. NEWSOME (1836-1899) heads a household on p. 236C, so it seems likely they are kin, perhaps as cousins. (Henry had a brother named John, b. 1820, who m. Talitha PIKE and appears elsewhere in 1880.) Could this be John NEWSOM who m. 15 JUL 1858 in Taylor Co, GA, to Mary Ann MITCHELL? This also appears to be the same NEWSOME family buried at the Midway Church (now on Ft. Benning Reservation) in eastern Muscogee Co. An alphabetical listing of burials in this cemetery is posted online at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/muscogee/cemeteries/midway2.txt Based on these records, the family appears to include: *John NEWSOME (25 APR 1825-26 OCT 1903), m. (15 JUL 1858 Taylor Co, GA?) to *Mary Ann (MITCHELL?) (18 MAR 1939-22 AUG 1916) Children: 1. Ella M. NEWSOME (ca. 1859 GA- aft. 1903), Unmarried and residing in Muscogee Co, GA, 1903. 2. William C.

Muscogee County GaArchives Biographies.....Stanford, Frank A. 1825 - 1885 ************************************************ 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: Carla Miles http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00010.html#0002476 September 19, 2004, 1:49 am Author: Memoirs of Georgia, Vol. II, Atlanta, Ga. Memoirs of Georgia, Vol. II, Atlanta, Ga. Published by the Atlanta Historical Society in 1895 Pages 235-236 Memoirs of Deceased Physicians Frank A. Stanford, M.D., Columbus, Ga. Dr. Stanford died in 1885, aged sixty years. I have been unable to obtain data as to his early youth and much of his life which are necessary to write a full memoir of him. He graduated M.D. from the University of New York City. (I cannot ascertain the date.) He served a term on the resident staff of the New York hospital. From a relative of his I learn that Profs. Valentine Mott and Van Buren, of New York, regarded Dr. Stanford at the time of his graduation as one of the most promising young physicians of that day. In him their prophecy was fulfilled, for he became one of the greatest of Georgias great doctors. He was great in all departments of his profession. He was one of our most renowned general practitioners of medicine, and as a surgeon ranked second to none of Georgias great surgeons; indeed, he was the peer of the greatest surgeons in America, and had he lived in New York would have attained a national distinction. He performed almost all of the capital operations known to surgery in his day. During the civil war he was medical director of Wheelers cavalry corps, occupying this position until the surrender of the Confederate army, discharging his duties of his high position to the great benefit of the Confederate cause, and to the eminent satisfaction of his distinguished commander. Dr. Stanford was a remarkably handsome man. In military and civil life he was a brave, courteous, highly cultured gentleman, and commanded the respect and confidence of all who were so fortunate as to know him. He was for many years a member of the medical association of Georgia, and contributed to the volumes of the transactions of this association many of its ablest papers. Besides the above mentioned articles, he contributed much and ably to medical literature through medical journals. He was one of the most useful and highly honored members of the state board of health in Georgia, and was regarded as one of the most eminent sanitarians in America. With the exception of the period embraced in his army life, he was a resident of Columbus, Ga. and was considered the most distinguished man in that section of the state.

Lynching at Clapp's Factory, 09 JUN 1900: "...Some of the jurors [in the 1912 trail of four men for the lynching of T. Z. McELHANEY], several of whom were middle-aged or older, might have recalled a lynching that took place near Clapp's Factory in 1900. Many of the townspeople must have remembered it. Certainly Judge Price GILBERT, who was solicitor of the Chattahoochee Circuit at the time the lynching took place, would have recalled it. So would Solicitor George PALMER, most likely. "It happened in June, the lynching month in Columbus. The victim was Simon ADAMS, 19, a black farm laborer who had worked for Judge A. H. ALMOND in northern Muscogee County for three years. The ALMOND family was widely known in Columbus. ALMOND was, in reality, a farmer who was a justice of the peace in the Nances District. His 17-year-old daughter, Jessie, attended St. Elmo Institute in town, and there were a 10-year-old daughter and a teen-age[d] son as well. "In the first hour of Saturday, June 9, ADAMS was [allegedly] discovered trying to slip through a window into the bedroom of ALMOND's daughters. Jessie ALMOND was [supposedly] awakened by the sound of ADAMS' foot striking the floor by the window. She sent up an alarm. The girls fled from the room and ALMOND [allegedly] discovered ADAMS hiding in a closet in the girls' bedroom. [Transcriber's note: this man never had a trial and nor an opportunity to either tell his side of the story publicly or defend himself. Because the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, according to the principals of our system of Justice in America, it would be unfair to portray this man as guilty of any crime. - jml] He was bound, at gunpoint, and a heavy iron chain was secured around his neck. At some time after first light, he was started along Hamilton Road toward Columbus 'in the hands of a trustworthy keeper,' not named but presumably ALMONDs teenage[d] son. "As reported in The Enquirer-Sun, it was initially understood that at Denson's store in Beallwood, ADAMS was seized by unnamed parties and hurried westward across the country, through Beallwood back of the YOUNG place, to the North Highlands woods by the Chattahoochee River, where he was lynched. "'It is said,' reported The Enquirer-Sun, 'that the Negro was thrown into the water at a rather swift place in the river and was told to swim for his life. It is understood that the iron chain was still around his neck, but notwithstanding this fact, he managed to keep above the water for a short while. As he struggled out in the stream the party fired at him. He was wounded, but began to dive. It is said that his last dive was some ten feet. As he came up this time, he is said to have been shot in the head, a bullet from a Winchester entering near the ear. He then sank to come to the top no more. The shot evidently killed him. It is possible that the chain will not be of sufficient weight to keep the body down, and that it will rise in the next day or two.' "Subsequently, although The Enquirer-Sun appears to have been able to substantiate its version of the lynching, it was learned that ADAMS was not taken by the lynchers from Denson's Store, but had been turned over to a Muscogee County bailiff for escort to town. The Enquirer-Sun's reporter tracked down the bailiff and asked him what happened. (Where the bailiff's comments are in italics [in *asterisks*], they are based on extensive indirect quotations recorded by the newspaper reporter.) "The bailiff said he had been at Denson's Store in Beallwood at around 8 o'clock on Saturday morning when he received instructions to go get ADAMS and carry him to jail in Columbus. The bailiff said he was told that ADAMS was over on the edge of the North Highlands woods, just west of the River Road. "*I went there and found the Negro with two or three persons about him,* the bailiff said. *A boy seemed to have him in charge. The boy asked me if I were an officer, and I told him that I was, and the Negro was turned over to me. I got in the wagon and began driving it through the woods toward the North Highlands pavilion.* "At this point the reporter interrupted and asked the bailiff why he did not go straight down the River Road to town instead of cutting through the woods. The bailiff said it was his idea to go around by North Highlands so as not to attract attention and slip his prisoner safely into the city. The reporter noted that the road the bailiff had chosen would have led only to the vicinity of the pavilion and stopped. [By 1908, there was an area known as North Highlands Park, and this pavilion may have been a feature of the park. - jml] "The bailiff said that, at that point, he was overtaken by a crowd of men who drew Winchester rifles on him and forced him to surrender his prisoner. "The Sun reporter asked him how many men had been in the lynching party. "*I dont know,* the bailiff replied, grinning. *At that moment, every man looked like three.* "Asked if he knew any of the men, the bailiff said: "*I didnt recognize anybody. I was more concerned with the guns than with the men behind them.* "It is not known if ADAMS' body was ever found, or if there was any effort on the part of local authorities to pursue the case. The only eyewitness who would talk was a black woman who had seen a group of white men early that morning at the point where Clapp's Creek empties into the Chattahoochee. She saw the men stop and take off their coats. Something in their manner frightened her and she ran. She did not see ADAMS. Later that day, someone reported having heard 15 to 20 gunshots from the direction of the North Highlands woods. That afternoon, about 20 empty shotgun, rifle and pistol shells were found on an island near Clapp's Factory. If these shells had anything to do with the lynching of Simon ADAMS, we do not know for certain. "There is much about the death of Simon ADAMS that we may never know, just as there is much we may never know about the deaths of Jesse SLATON, Will MILES, William CORNAKER, the Rev. Joseph HARDY, John CRUTCHFIELD, Belle HATHAWAY, Eugene HEMMING, John MOORE and all the rest of the victims of mob violence in the Columbus area and throughout the South and the nation. "However, by a curious stroke of fortune - it is preserved on a fading and rarely consulted strip of microfilm in the morgue of The Ledger-Enquirer - we know the name of the bailiff who had charge of the prisoner in the North Highland[s] woods that brilliantly clear Saturday morning, June 9, 1900. "It was A[aron] B[rewster] LAND." [Excerpted from "Incident at Wynn's Hill, Part Seven: Tale Passes Into Memory," by Bill Winn, in the "Columbus, GA, Ledger-Enquirer" newspaper, Saturday, 31 JAN 1987, pp. A-1 and A-4. A. Brewster LAND was my great-grandfather. - jml]

Kemis, If I remember correctly, wasn't one of the men's name C.C. Layfield? If so, I know a descendant who has a photo of him. I will email him to see if he will share. Just let me know, I deleted the original email. Linda
A photo of Sherriff Jesse BEARD appeared in the "Columbus, Ga, Enquirer, Wednesday, 28 JAN 1987, p. A-6. This is in connection with a seven-part series on the 1912 lynching of T. Z. McELHANEY. On p. A-4 on Saturday, 31 JAN 1987, from the same series, appears the following: "Sheriff Jesse Alexander BEARD lived a long life, and was sheriff of Muscogee County until 1928. He was president of the Sheriffs Association of Georgia and left a deep imprint on local law enforcement in Columbus. His photograph hangs in the entrance to the sheriff's department in the Government Center." (Sheriff of Muscogee County; Columbus Chief of Police, 1889-94; Sexton of Linwood Cemetery, 1894-1908; elected sheriff in 1908 and 1912.) Sheriff BEARD is mentioned elsewhere in the course of the narrative, including p. A-11 on Sunday, 25 JAN 1987, which states that on Friday, 05 JUL 1912, he deputized seven men (not named) to stand guard at the jail where T. Z. McELHANEY was being held. Also mentioned in this series are: Deputy Sheriff Cicero A. GIBSON (he appears as a deputy on the 1910 federal census of Muscogee Co, GA), and the following bailiffs: Cary or Cory A/J. ELLISON, John R. BEAHN, Rob L. WILLIS, J. T. DARBY, Chipley BARBER, J. Y. IRVIN, A. REYNOLDS, Benjamin G. "Ben" HAMER, Mr. ROGERS, Mr. WOODALL, and Mason WILDER (of course, these men were employed as officers of the court, rather than by the Sheriff's Department). James PALMER is mentioned as a "county officer." Aaron Brewster LAND (my g-grandfather and one of the four men tried for the death of McELHANEY) is identified on p. A-10, Friday, 30 JAN 1987, as a former deputy sheriff and a candidate for sheriff in 1912 (he lost). I will email a scan of the Jesse BEARD newspaper picture and a photo of A. B. LAND to you privately.
