He had been a great sufferer, but always patient and uncomplaining. His last hours were comforted by the glorious hope of immortality and that all was well with his soul. He was only fifty-nine, the very prime of manhood, but sickness and disease caused him to look not at the things of this world. Several years ago Mr. Stephenson married Miss Johnnie Allen of Belleview. They had only one lovely little girl. On Friday afternoon, all that was mortal of Mr. Stephenson was laid to rest in the family burial ground, beside his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Zack Stephenson. Rev. J.B.

Norman T.C. McKay of Kendy, Ontario will be of great interest to a wide circle of friends throughout the New Era’s extended territory, from California to Cuba. Talbotton has always been justly proud of the prospective bride. She was reared here, but has spent much time in colleges and travel. She has studied and equipped herself with the educational advantages. By birth, rearing and culture she is prepared to fulfill her mission as a minister’s wife with grace and distinction. Sweetness of disposition and cheeriness of manner are her dominant characteristics. She is the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. W.J.

He possesses the strength, determination and thoroughness handed down from generations of Scottish ancestors. The romance began at Clifton Springs, N.Y. some years ago.

The ceremony will take place Tuesday, April 27th in the presence of the closest relatives and friends, after which, the bridal party will leave for Toronto, Canada.

The Talbotton New Era Thursday, May 6, 1909 Page 3 A Marriage At Montreat Montreat, April 28 – At the residence of Miss Alice Capps, Miss Hynes Dixon Raines was married yesterday at 12 o’clock noon to Rev. Norman Mackay of Keady, Ontario. The wedding was in every particular, an ideal one. Montreat may be more gorgeously beautiful when the encircling peaks are in the fullest green, the wilderness of rhododendron in flower, and the profusion of ferns have enrolled to the limit their lacy length, but not having seen Montreat until yesterday, it would be difficult to picture any nook of nature better deserving the name of an earthly paradise. The amphitheater of hills wore every shade of green from tenderest maple bud to darkest pine; the rushing mountain stream that dances and leaps over great moss- covered boulders held us fascinated for miles along its fern and laurel clad banks, and all through the morning, a veil of softest purple haze draped the valley adding its indescribable witchery to beautiful Montreat as we wended our way to the charming mountain cottage of Miss Capps. Arrived there we were ushered into a bright, cozy living room, where the decorations of dogwood made a bower of snow-white bloom. In this ideal bridal hall a few of Miss Raines’ close friends were gathered. The marriage rites were very impressive. Rev. Mr. Scanlon of Montreat officiating. The bride was more than usually handsome in a tailored traveling suit of dark brown. The groom is a dignified, scholarly looking gentleman, a Scotch Canadian, and a descendant of two famous clans, the Mackays and the McKenzies. The ceremony was followed by a delightful luncheon and a charmingly informal social half hour; after which the interesting couple left for their home in Canada. Besides the Montreat friends, Miss Capps, Mrs. and Miss Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Scanlon, the Misses Green, Mrs. Slicarer and Mr. DeWitt, there were present, Miss Julia Raines of Talbotton, Ga., sister of the bride, and Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Van Winkle, Mr. and Mrs. R.J. Tighe and Mrs. W. W. Williamson of Ashville. – The Gazette News, Asheville, N.C. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 4.5 Kb

I am researching Bethel Baptist Church out Highway 208, several miles from Talbottom and the road you turn right on is if front of the large white house ,with lots of land and has cars parked near the house and the ones in the back yard looks like they are being worked on.. The Bethel Baptist Church might have once been a Primitive Baptist and might now be a Black Bethel Baptist Church. You have to turn off the pave road to the right and among trees is the Bethel Baptist Church and an old Cemetery. I was researching to see if this Bethel Baptist might go back to the 1830s. My gr gr grandpapa 1832-1839 was minister to Bethel Baptist Church in Talbot. I have been told the Horad Baptist Church pulled out from the old Bethel Baptist and they were not to far apart. (Might have been on Highway 222,?? I can't remember) The County Line Baptist Church I was researching is on the Muscogee/Talbot as you leave Muscogee County going in to Talbot County. It is on the right. II have found the County Line Church on the Talbot/Taylor Line. But I have been told this isn't the one I I am looking for. I was told to look for the Berhel Baptist Church that was once connected with the Horad Baptist Church. ( I hope I am spelling Hoard right. I might be off a letter. It is on the Highway leaving Talbottom. Further on out the highway is a little meeting house, moved from Prattville (spelling ?) with a Cemetery , it's on County Line Road. Sorry about the mistake. Thanks again, Sandra

I found County Line Baptist Church out Highway 208, from Talbotton.The road was several miles out. You turn right off the highway in front of a large white house will quite a few cars parked in the yard the side and back. You drive down the road which is straight in front of the house for several miles and there is a sign that tells you the Church is there. And, it is you turn off the paved road and thru some trees there is a good size white wooden Church with a Cemetery. The Church is old . I wanted to know if anyone knows the history of the Church and could the Charter members go back to the 1820s. I'll try and find the name of the road so that will help. I am looking for the areas of where the land my ancestors lived. District 15 lot #138 ------Talbot -Taylor District 22 lot # 221 -----Between Harris and Talbot(sold to William Coleland) Thanks for your help.

Kimbrough Leaves an Aching Void in Hearts and Homes, Town and County Mr. Kimbrough was born in Harris County, Tuesday, the twenty-third of February was his Fifty-Third birth anniversary. When he was a mere child, his parents moved to Talbotton, and lived in the beautiful home now owned by Mr. Roderick Leonard. Here his happy childhood was passed, tenderly beloved by a large family of brothers and two lovely sisters. His school days were spent at Collinsworth Institute. Early in his young manhood, he was married to Miss Eva Paschal of Geneva. This union was an ideal one. Mr. Kimbrough was courtly, dignified and self-poised. The memory of his gracious and gentle qualities will ever be cherished by all who knew him. For many years, he held offices in town and county, and was esteemed for his ability and faithfulness. In business he was upright, punctual and just, to the church, loyal and liberal. To his friends, staunch and true. In his domestic relations, a devoted husband, tender father, and an affectionate brother. He was ever bright, cheerful and considerate. Even unto the end, his thoughtfulness was manifested in many ways. The harmony and happiness of his home life was beautiful and impressive. On Monday afternoon, March first, his gentle spirit peacefully winged its flight. The exquisite floral tributes, and the great concourse of friends were convincing testimony that he had not lived in vain, nor wrought for self-alone. The tender service in the home, conducted by Dr. J.B. McGehee and Rev. N.C. Underwood was touching and beautiful. Dr. McGehee had known Mr. Kimbrough from boyhood. He dwelt upon the gentle and untiring ministries of the lovely wife, the mutual helpfulness and delicate courtesies of the husband and his unselfish kindliness as a father. Rev. N.C. Underwood in his earnest prayer breathed the love of a neighbor, whose heart was heavy with anguish at the loss. He invoked God’s divine guidance upon the grief-stricken ones. Mr. Kimbrough, after years of suffering sleeps on the hillside where the sunshine meets the shade.

Mrs. Frances McGehee Rawles request the honor of your presence at the marriage of her daughter Edna McIntyre, to Mr. Hamilton Pierce Weston, on Wednesday evening, January the twenty-seventh, at eight o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Neid McGehee, Talbotton, Georgia. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, January 28, 1909 Page 3 Rawls – Weston Wedding The young moon, like a silver bow of good promise shone bright on Wednesday evening and the tender chime of wedding bells seemed to ring a gladsome melody for the young couple, who were soon to plight their vows. The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Neid McGehee was the House Beautiful in token of this joyous occasion. The reception hall was garlanded with smilax. Tall vases of pink roses and pink camellias glowed richly ‘neath the light of rose-shaded candles. The dainty maidens, Miss Vera Rawls and Miss Louise McGehee were the ribbon bearers and held in place the silken bands that formed a roseate aisle for the bridal party. To the triumphant strains of Mendelsohn’s Wedding March played by Mrs. Hugh F. Wilkerson, Mr. Hamilton Pierce Weston, accompanied by Mr. H.C. Dickerson, entered; Miss Charlie Hurt Harris followed, alone; then came the bride Miss Edna McIntyre Rawls on the arm of her Uncle, Mr. John H. McGehee. They were met by the Rev. J.B. McGehee, D.D., the grandfather of the bride. He stood within an improvised altar. The ceremony was tender and impressive. Mrs. Wilkerson played “You” softly. The bride was exquisitely lovely and girlish in a Directoire robe of white herring bone crepe, a drapery of satin lay in graceful folds around the corsage, forming a pointed yoke which was filled in with rose point lace delicately outlined with gold embroidery. The sash was finished with gold embroidery and fringe. The long panel of satin in front was decorated with buttons and gold embroidery. From the crown of orange blossoms that held in place the long misty veil to the point of the gilt slippers that peeped beneath the edge of her rich shining robe, nothing was lacking for a most perfect toilet effect: a bouquet of bride’s roses and lilies-of-the-valley tied with tulle completed the picture. The bride was angelically lovely, so radiant, so royal and withal so innocently fair. She represents all that is true, beautiful and good. To her husband she will prove “his starlight, moonlight, firelight, the sunlight of his home.” Mr. Weston was born and reared in Talbotton, he is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce M. Weston. His friends love him for his loyalty and kindliness. He has ever been ready to minister to the needs of others. Friendship with him means courtesy, consideration and if need be, sacrifice. He is the popular and prosperous proprietor of the Hotel Weston. The parlor in which the union was solemnized seemed a veritable Garden of Eden, wide spreading palms and plumy ferns shone lustrously neath the white lights of candles. Roses, white and fragrant, made the air heavy with sweetness. The altar was made with southern smilax, gemmed with star-like camellias. The dining room heralded spring-songs and spring-flowers in its wealth of golden “daffydown-dillies.” It was indeed a poetic atmosphere. Everywhere yellow blossoms nodded a cheery welcome. Here too, the countless and costly remembrances were displayed in artistic array. The parlor opposite was a rendezvous for the couples, who may have thought this “example worthy of emulation.” Crimson and green were the rich color noted adding a vividness to the scene. Cakes and ices were dispensed informally. A rare musical programme was discoursed prior to the ceremony. The contributors were: Mrs. Roy A. Lane, of Atlanta, who was formerly Miss Mae Bell, niece of Mrs. P.M. Weston and whose glorious voice has delighted many Southern audiences, Mrs. W.O. DeLoache, Miss Florence Baldwin of Atlanta and Miss Ruth Martin of Columbus. Miss Charlie Hurt Harris the petite bride’s maid was dainty and attractive in a white soil charmeuse made robe de princesse with sheath effect, she carried an armful of bride’s maid’s roses, the note of pink giving a charming bit of color. The fairy like ribbon bearers wore simple but perfect little frocks of laces, ribbons and mull. Knots of tiny pink rose buds and pink sash ribbon was like the first faint breath of dawn. Mrs. Frances McGehee Rawls the queenly mother of the bride, wore a taupe brown checked mousseline, slashed up one side and laced with satin ribbon of seal brown, the silhouette effect displaying the grace and symmetry of the lithe and slender form. Mrs. Pierce M. Weston, mother of the groom, was strikingly handsome in a white satin souple Empire robe, glistening with silver embroidery and fringe. Mrs. W. Neid McGehee, the gracious young hostess, affected a Nattier blue Directoire robe. There were present a number of lovely maidens from other towns. There were gowns in soft colors and others in piquant contrast. Satins and chiffons made a scene like that of a tropical garden. Miss Jane Lilly’s rare blonde type was enhanced by a gown of pale green chiffon mull. Miss Ruth Martin also wore green with braid and button trimmings. Miss Edith Martin’s toilet was of pale mauve like the soft tints of falling evening. She carried a bunch of carnations. As a foil to this exquisite creation, was Miss Mary Mathews’ gown of pale coral rose velour souple. Miss Susie Harvey was in green messaline silk infinitely becoming. Miss Florence Baldwin looked like a bright American Beauty rose in her gown of Callot satin and lace. This touch of brightness contributed a colorful charm to the beautiful occasion. Many handsome men added to the pleasure and interest. Among the out of town guests were: Mrs. James T. Dixon, of West Point, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fell of Atlanta, Mr. Harvey Fell of Savannah, Mr. Robert Dixon, of West Point, Miss Mary Mathews, Miss Florence Baldwin, Miss Susie Harvey, Misses Ruth and Edith Martin, Mr. Marshall Harrison, Mr. Billy Phillips.

Hall on Wednesday. The interment occurred today at Oak Hill Cemetery. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, January 21, 1909 Page 2 Joseph Brown Hall Aged Six Months “Where did you come from baby dear? Out of the everywhere into here – But how did you come to us, you dear? God thought of you, and so I am here.” Thus God did think of the hearts and home of Mr. and Mrs. B.M. Hall. This beautiful boy was the mission child. He was the angel of peace, the flower of love, the jewel of comfort and the sunshine of hope. A lifetime of six months, how brief a span, yet, when reckoned by the joys dispensed, calendars and dates play no part. His presence seemed to draw love and kindness from the hearts of the household, scattering the rays throughout the home. Sorrow broods over the home, the mother’s lullaby is hushed, the mirth of brothers and sisters has ceased; for, the sunny curls droops over closed eyelids, the dimpled hands are cold and waxen, the little form sleeps beneath a coverlet of flowers and its gentle spirit is wafted to the bosom of God. But, the message it brought, lingers deep in the hearts of the loved ones. A little child shall lead them in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Added to his service, ever one of usefulness and generosity, is the story of an unflagging zeal in the cause of the South first and mankind afterwards. Throughout the civil war he served as surgeon in the ranks of the Confederacy, doing what he could to make the condition of the sick and wounded more tolerable. He went to the front with the Eufaula Light Artillery. Of late Dr. Bryan having been forced by the infirmities of age, to retire from the practice of his profession, had lived with Mrs. Allison here having previously spent a time with his other daughter in Atlanta. He was a devoted member of the Southern Methodist Church whose teachings and principles he exemplified in his daily life. He was removed to the hospital for a difficult operation in the hope of prolonging his life, but this was not realized. – Charlotte Observer Dr. Bryan lived in Talbotton for several years and made many friends who regret his death. Their sympathies go out to the bereaved wife and daughters. It will be remembered both daughters married in Talbotton.

Mrs. Rush went to her room on Monday night with her two children feeling rather despondent and she told a Negro woman who waited on Mrs. Callier that she would not be here the following morning. The Negro woman said nothing about what Mrs. Rush had told her as she did not take it seriously. It appears that Mrs. Rush arose at an early hour and went into an adjoining room to the one which she occupied. She was seated on a bed and placed the pistol to her head and fired two shots, falling forward on her face on the floor. She died instantly, before anyone could reach her. She left a note in which she asked that her two little children be sent to the Orphan’s Home. Mrs. Rush was about thirty years of age and was a daughter of Mr. Robert Kellum, who lives eight miles north of Talbotton. The funeral services took place on Wednesday morning.
