H. McGehee, of Talbotton, will probably enter the race for prison commissioner to succeed the Hon. Thomas Eason. Colonel McGehee is well known throughout the state. He graduated at Emory College in 1885 and since that time has practiced law. He is recognized as one of the ablest attorneys in west Georgia. In 1898-99 he represented the 25th Senatorial District in the General Assembly. During his term of service, Mr. McGehee led the fight in the Senate for a State Prohibition Bill, known as the Willingham Bill. His speech advocated its passage was pronounced by many as a great effort. Colonel McGehee is a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee from the Fourth District. It will be remembered that he was the author of the letter to Hon. “Hoke” Smith which gave rise to the “divine call”, which played such a part in the recent campaign for Governor. – Atlanta Journal The Talbotton New Era Thursday, February 6, 1908 Page One McGehee Will Not Run The Atlanta Journal of a few days ago contained an article to the effect that Mr. J.H.

Talbot County GaArchives News.....A Tribute to Mrs. Alice Beall Mathews October 31 1907 ************************************************ 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 cmhistory@mchsi.com October 20, 2003, 3:40 pm The Talbotton New Era The Talbotton New Era Thursday, October 31, 1907 Page One A Tribute To Mrs. Alice Beall Mathews On Her Anniversary We have met this ideal morning to pay tribute to one whom we have all loved long and well. When invited to say a few words on this occasion, I hesitated on account of my inability to do the subject justice, but it was one so near and dear to my heart that I assure you I esteem it an honor to appear before you in this capacity, hoping, in the language of the school boy, from “time immemorial” to the present, “If I chance to fall below, Demosthenes or Cicero, Don’t view me with a critic’s eye, but pass my imperfections by.” This lovely morning, Oct. 17, 1907, when all nature is redolent with the praises of the Creator, we lay upon the altar of love and friendship imperishable flowers, blossoms that have their roots deeply imbedded in the heart, and whose fragrance will live throughout eternity. We will not wait until the “Grim Reaper” has claimed our loved one, but break our alabaster boxes in life, strewing the granary with the choicest exotics, smoothing, in a degree, the mountain peaks that lie in its pathway. Enshrined in our hearts and memories are the name and good deeds of one who sixty-nine years ago today, was born of honored parents in the city of Macon, Ga., and one who for 63 years has lived in our midst. Twice married to honored and prominent citizens of Talbotton, a close connection with the vital interests of church and society in our town, she is our own, our very own, and her name a household word in the refined and cultured homes of Talbotton. She is one of the few remaining Confederate women who, by her untiring efforts, gave material aid to this noble cause. She is one of the charter members of the “Ladies Memorial Association” of which there are only two surviving members. She and her honored friends, Mrs. Dr. E.L. Bardwell. For many years Mrs. Mathews has been president of the “Ladies Memorial Association”. She and her contemporary, Mrs. E.L. Bardwell, were the founders or organizers of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Talbotton. May the mantel of these distinguished, loyal patriotic women fall on the daughters; may they teach to generations yet unborn fidelity to the undying principles for which their mothers labored and suffered. The chapter of the U.D.C. organized in Talbotton, was named in honor of Mrs. Alice Beall Mathews. She was elected vice-president at its organization and still retains this office. The handsome Confederate Monument on the Courthouse Square, is a fitting tribute to her untiring labor and zeal in our lost, but worthy cause. Mrs. Mathews is president of the Woman’s Home Mission Society in Talbotton. The Methodist parsonage is also a monument to her, as it was largely through her individual efforts that it was erected. She has ever been the champion of and helper in every good cause in our town. The poor and sick feel her tender sympathy, and are recipients of her charity. An ardent admirer of the young, her aesthetic taste and artistic skill render her dependable on all state occasions. Oh! when feelings and thoughts are too savored and deep for utterance, ‘tis then that her kind and gentle ministrations knit her to the hearts of her friends as of “David to Jonathan.” It would fail me to recount the numerous, noble and charitable deeds she has done in our community. In life they are told as a memorial to her. Verily her good works do follow her. “Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.” Her symmetrical character and noble Christian deeds will live in the hearts and lives of the people of Talbotton and Talbot County when monumental shafts have crumbled into dust. “How long we live, not years, but actions tell, That man lives twice, who lives the first time well.” If you excuse a personal allusion, I will beg the forberance of the U.D.C. and the W.H.M. Society while I lay one flower on the altar of love’s offering. I have known, intimately, as friend and neighbor the subject of this tribute for over 20 years. The luster of the friendship undimmed by the passing of time, but grown more brilliant as the swift-winged messenger takes his flight. As true, loyal and unselfish in the hour of her deep grief, as when the sky is unclouded, the sun shining brighter, or the birds singing their sweetest carols. To us she came when our hearts were paralyzed, and worse than Egyptian darkness enveloped us. In this hour, she came as an “angel of light”, and the beauties of her Christian character were indelibly impressed upon our hearts. Were it in my power, I would weave a literary gem the most beautiful and stirring eulogy, whose formation would be truth, and lay it at her feet, with a laurel wreath encircling her brow. “But oh! no gifts like these are mine, Nor else but love can I bestow; And so the heart’s best gift is thine, Love, while I linger here below.” In behalf of the U.D.C. and the W.H.M. Society, I beg to present to our esteemed friend, benefactor and co-laborer, Mrs. Alice Beall Mathews, this little token of love and affection, in appreciation of her untiring zeal and invaluable labor in these grand and worthy organizations, with the sincerest wish that many years of usefulness and happiness may be added unto her; that when life’s warfare is ended, its labors over, she may receive an abundant entrance, a “crown of life,” in the “city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Mrs. J.T. Perryman **Note – Mrs. Alice Beall Mathews is buried at Talbotton City Cemetery formerly known as Oak Hill Cemetery. The dates on her gravestone list her birth date as October 17, 1838 and date of death February 18, 1912. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 6.3 Kb

Little has tendered his resignation to the Governor as Judge of the Chattahoochee Circuit, the resignation to take effect the first part of next week. At the hour of the adjournment of Talbot Superior Court on last Friday, Judge Little gave the reasons for his resignation in a few remarks addressed to the members of the local bar. He said that the work of the circuit was very heavy, there being forty-two weeks of regular court during each year. Besides this, the matters which required attention at chambers are many. He stated that the work required every moment of his time, and that he was not willing to devote all of his time to the business of the public or to himself. For this reason he resigned. The resignation of Judge Little came as quite a surprise to the entire circuit, and has caused much regret. He is one of the most distinguished, most able and most impartial jurists in the South. He has been faithful in the discharge of his duties and has won the confidence and esteem of every attorney in his jurisdiction; as well as of the public generally. He will return to Columbus and there engage in the practice of law. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.8 Kb

The case of Mrs. Mary Etta Hart, charged with burning the residence of S.A. Montgomery several weeks ago, and who has been under bond to appear at Justice Hair’s court on the 23rd, brought these people to town early. The time set for the hearing arrived but Mrs. Hart had not come and her attorney, Judge Crawford, had not received any word from her. The court waited until near noon then announced that the hearing would take place at 1:30 p.m. It had been positively stated by prosecuting witnesses that she had fled and would not appear at court, so when the hour arrived and she was not present and no word from her had been received, the prosecution publicly announced that Mrs. Hart had no intention to come to the hearing and by agreement between the legal counsel on both sides the court ordered the case continued to August 12. Mrs. Hart’s attorney insisted that something had detained her, and asked for time to secure information, but by the prosecution insisting that she be apprehended forthwith, the Sheriff was ordered to arrest her without delay. A few moments after this order several citizens near Box Springs arrived with a physician’s certificate to the effect that Mrs. Hart had come that far, was taken very sick and was confined to her bed unable to come on, and would be for a few days. Two witnesses were present ready to testify to the same facts. The case was reopened. The prosecution insisted on her arrest and the bond be increased to $1,000. Her attorney was told that she could give $500 bond. This was presented to the court, and although the prosecution insisted for the higher bond, the court placed it at $500 and gave two days’ time for her friends to look after it. He judged that as Mrs. Hart was doing all she could to get to court on a bond of $150, there was not much need in any increase in the bond. – Buena Vista Patriot This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.6 Kb

The event, which caused Jack to come to this conclusion, happened last week, while he was away from home on a visit to Columbus. Jack had about a hundred and fourteen dollars, which he had secreted, in the ground, near the door of his house in Talbotton. He had the money well buried in the earth and thought it was secure. When he came home from Columbus, he discovered that someone had “discovered his coin”, and that he was more than one hundred dollars poorer than when he left home. Jack is a hardworking Negro and saves his money. A few years ago, he dug up about five hundred dollars, which he had concealed near his home, and gave it to his daughter to buy a house. It is said that he has a thousand or more dollars on hand now. Up to this time, he has never deposited any of his funds in the bank, but it is more than probable that he will do so in the future.

After an absence of four years they have received me back with their old kindly warmth and cordiality, which is equaled in few places and excelled in none and I must say which I have sadly missed while gone, and the separation but served to strengthen the ties of love and friendship. Yes, for who that knows it can but love this dear place, so typically southern and aristocratic – with as fine a clime and people as any on earth. Indeed this is God’s country. I will be with my young friend and former contemporary, Dr. Passmore, for at least the summer, where I will be glad to see all on business or otherwise. I say young, because my junior, though ahead of me in matrimony, my excuse for which, say to the fair ones, that while here all so charming, couldn’t confine myself to one while away, couldn’t care for those in reach for thinking of them. But girls, girls, as soon as my wig comes, I will still be in the field as a young blossom to be matrimonially plucked – “a bachelor button!” Yours most cordially, G. Johnson Ford The Talbotton New Era Thursday, September 9, 1906 Page 2 Dentistry I am making a special price on all Plate Work, Crown and Bridge Work. I can give you the best work of this kind that is done this side of Chicago. I have had 10 years experience in this kind of work, and when I put a plate in I am sure it fits correctly. If you need any work done on your teeth it will pay you to come and see me. I now have Dr. Ford with me and he will do most of the operating work, and I will assure you that you cannot get a better man than he is. He has had a number of years experience in this line of work, and I have worked after him here for the past six years, and I have never heard a single word said against his work, and I have never seen nicer work done in all my life. Now, if you want your work done correctly and reasonably come to see me. This is my home, and I will always be here to look after your work. I am not looking for better places or making changes. I will appreciate all work entrusted to me and do my best to give you my very best service. Very truly, C.L.

Re:Emma Owen's Murder On Easter Sunday 1895 in Talbot County, Georgia In the book "There Was a Land, A History of Talbot County, Georgia" by Judge Robert H. Jordan 1971 there is a 13-page story of the murder and trial about this murder. It gives the date of the murder as Easter Sunday, April 5, 1896. I am not sure which of the dates is correct; however, according to a Owen genealogy book Sallie Emma Owen was born in 1873 and died in 1895. She was the daughter of Daniel Grant Owen, Jr. and Sarah Beaufort Reed. If you do not have access to the book, please write me and I will scan the pages and send them to you. Bobbie Bryan Coons

Candler, aged 86 years. He was a man of excellent habits, fine moral character, and he continued to be active long past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of workers. To this end there is no doubt that his sunshiny disposition largely contributed. He was a practical man, but had his own peculiar way of extracting merriment from life as it went along, and he was not disposed to worry about matters that could be bettered in other ways. This cheerful spirit remained with him to the last, and he retained his clearness of intellect up to his closing days. He was invariably a good neighbor, and there was no happier family circle in the land than his. When he died, full of years and ready to be gathered to his fathers, the grief that was felt over the close of his long career was widespread and sincere. His best monument will be the good report that he has left behind him in the community in which he lived for so many years. Judge Candler was a man who believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. He believed that the man who scatters flowers in the pathway of his fellowmen, who lets into the dark places of life the sunshine of human sympathy and human happiness, is following in the footsteps of his master. The funeral took place on Monday following his death and was conducted by Rev. Thomas of the Methodist church, of which denomination Judge Candler was a member. The services were largely attended. The deceased is survived by three sons and two daughters, Messrs. Geo. Candler, of Atlanta, Herb Candler, of Montgomery, Cliff Candler, of Atlanta, Mrs. Winchester and Miss Susie Candler of Geneva.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wd.2ADE/925.1 Message Board Post: Donna, You asked about Mildred Webster. In Davidson's book "A Rockaway in Talbot" Vol. l he has much info. on the Websters. He lists Malinda, not Mildred, age 51 in 1850 who is widow of Seaborn. He was the son of Abner Webster and his wife Elizabeth Martin Webster. Malinda was a Dyer. His article has dates of birth, marriages and lists children. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Nancy, Your local library may be able to order the newspapers you need on microfilm through Inter-Library Loan. This would be the easiest way to obtain the information you're looking for. Call them to see if they provide this service, most larger libraries do. The film is usually on loan for 2 or 3 weeks and there may be a small charge involved. The Courthouse in Talbotton has many old newspapers stored in the vault of the Probate Office. This is another way to locate obits, but the papers aren't in any sort of date order and they are very old and are falling apart. So, if you don't mind the extra time involved in locating the issues you need, getting dirty and aren't allergic to dust mites, this is another option. I would try to obtain the microfilm on loan. I wish I could assist you but I only have the microfilm for the Talbotton New Era from June 1903 through October 1909.

I have death dates as May 16, 1953 and December 21, 1953. Another one I am interested in is a Brown death date of Jan. 6, 1919. Please tell me where I might find these. Is there a library in Talbotton that has the newspapers on microfilm? Or, where do I go to see the newspapers? I would also like to thank the contributors of the obits and marriages that come through on the mailing lists. Thanks for assistance.

The Talbotton New Era is on film at the Library in Manchester, GA. The hard copies are in the Probate Judge's office in the court house in Talbotton. I think the Paper may also be in the collection at the UGA Library. jim -----Original Message----- From: Nancy [mailto:nancys@Charter.net] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 3:04 PM To: GATALBOT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GATALBOT] Obit lookup/where to find I want 2 obits with Beverly surname from 1953 in Talbot County.
