I don't know what I did to the article pertaining to the shooting of Mr. Wood by Bryant Bottoms, but now I can't find it. Is it possible to have it sent out again? The Bottoms line ties in with my Dorsey/Anderson line, and I really do want it! Thanks so much, Genealogy Buddies!!!

Pike County GaArchives News.....“Uncle Charlie” Sullivan July 28, 1939 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Lynn Cunningham http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00011.html#0002535 January 23, 2011, 3:39 pm The Pike County Journal July 28, 1939 For those who wore the grey, there is a deep reverence in the heart of every Southerner who likes corn pone and peas and thinks Robert E. Lee the greatest general of all times. Pike County still has one of the men who wore the grey - one who wore it valiantly and with conspicuous courage. Mr. C.W. (Uncle Charles) Sullivan is his name. With the passing of last January 17, his 91 years pass into a long lane of memories. Mr. Sullivan was born in Meriwether county on January 17, 1848. He moved to Pike county in 1860 with the war just in the infant stage. Only [sic] July 20, 1864 - when only 16 years old - he enlisted in Griffin with the Upson county Company, commanded by Captain Bill Hightower. Although his age belied his fighting ability, Uncle Charlie had a difficult time making his commanding officer believe it, so consequently he spent most of his time in scouting and transmitting messages. Upon several occasions though he came in contact with the pesky Yankees and acquitted himself quite nobly. Recounting in vivid fashion some of his experiences, Mr. Sullivan told of a pitched battle his regiment had with the Yankees at Double Bridges. The two forces finally emerged from their barricades and met in the middle of the bridge where Uncle Charlie suddenly found himself looking straight into the business end of a pistol held by a rather grim and determined looking Yankee. Knowing that his life depended upon his quick action, he grabbed the end of the pistol wrenched it from the hands of the startled Yankee and turned it upon him. Instead of facing death bravely or fighting back, the Yankee turned and ran. Uncle Charlie didn’t fire, saying that he didn’t want to kill a coward. Upon another occasion, Mr. Sullivan was arrested as a spy by his own comrades. It happened this way. He was out maneuvering near Jackson in Butts county, when he was halted by an officer of one of Butts county’s regiments. When asked to produce his papers, Uncle Charlie found to his dismay that he had none. Whereupon he was taken into custody and held for several days until the company went into Jackson where records were found that proved his argument. While he was still a captive, Uncle Charlie and his captor went into one of the farmhouses nearby where they were received cordially - both wearing Confederate uniform. But as soon as the landlady was told the circumstances she remarked that she smelled a damn Yankee spy. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 was not known to them until the first of May, Mr. Sullivan said. After the war was over and things settled down to the even tenor of their way, Mr. Sullivan began farming again. In 1870, he married Miss Sue Trice, of Upson county. They had five children, Mr. P.M. Sullivan, Sr., of Zebulon; Mrs. Willie Bankston, of Meansville; Mrs. Allie Means, of Meansville; and Misses Nannie and Sara Sullivan, of Meansville. Mr. Sullivan ran a horse gin for several years and later he and Mr. Bob Mitchell established a ginnery in Zebulon. Mr. Sullivan’s chief interest lies now in his 200 acre farm. He is still amazingly active for one of his years and talks fluently and, when about Yankees, with a certain gusto that is unmistakably akin to memories of that awful strife some 70 odd years ago. There is a certain luster about the men who wore the grey that just won’t die. They are much more colorful than the dull, drab uniforms they wore. One can take cognizance of the mistakes made and include a couple “if’s,” which coupled with the courage and loyalty with which the men in grey fought, would have won the Civil War. The War is lost. But not the men who wore the grey. Their memory shall never die.

Wood, of Williamson, remains in the Strickland Memorial Hospital, Griffin, improved but in a somewhat serious condition as the result of an argument with Mr. Bryant Bottoms, of near Williamson, climaxing what is said to be a four-year-old feud. It is stated that Mr. Bottoms and Mr. Wood met Sunday morning a few minutes before nine o’clock and their differences were renewed which resulted in the shooting of Mr. Wood twice, once through the abdomen, the bullet puncturing the large intestine and the bladder, passing completely through his body. The second bullet making a flesh wound in the right side. Mr. Wood was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance where an x-ray revealed the extent of his injuries. An emergency operation was performed and Mr. Wood is reported to be doing nicely. Mr. Bottoms made no effort to escape, but calmly awaited the arrival of Sheriff Shackleford who was notified and reached Williamson within eight minutes after being notified of the shooting. Bottoms was placed in jail at Zebulon where he is being held on a blanket charge awaiting the outcome of the affair. Mr. Bottoms has retained Mr. C.A. Byars as his attorney who has advised him to issue no statement regarding the affair but who, himself has made the statement that “my investigation of the case thus far shows that the shooting was justifiable.” Witnesses state that Mr. Wood and Mr. Bottoms met near the store of Mr. Cade Scott, I Williamson, and that after a few apparently heated words Mr. Bottoms whipped out his pistol and fired three times in rapid succession, one bullet gong wild. After this, Mr. Wood has alleged to walk up to Mr. Bottoms and knocked him down, striking him with his closed fist. Another version reaching The Journal is that Mr. Wood first slapped Mr. Bottoms with his open hand and after having been struck and while staggering and off balance Mr. Bottoms then drew his pistol and fired, the first bullet going wild, the second striking Mr. Wood in the right side and the third entered his abdomen. Additional Comments: John Bradley Wood was a son of Josiah Hick Wood and Pocahontas T. Phillips. His father was born in Pike County, but moved to Texas circa 1870. In 1889 he moved his family back to Pike County. He was married to Bessie L. Dickinson, daughter of Clark Alexander Dickinson and Collie Jackson.
