Does anyone have a Land Lot map for Land District 16 for Upson County? If so, would you please contact me. I have a question. Thanks. Virginia Crilley

We have the date on the obit for Mary Zorn....and I was wrong about her being buried in Martin's Chapel. Now I'm working to find out WHICH Zorn she married, and what her maiden name was! Zion's Chapel Cemetery "About 2 and a half miles south of Thomaston. It was on Highway 19 South, but that highway was re-routed when it was four-laned. That old 19 is now called, I think, Indian Trail." pre Nancy Zorn, Mary 12/17/1856-2/25/1921 65 years of age (mother of Mrs. Ozella Ellington, Mrs. Alma Eidson and Mr. B.E. Zorn_ based on obit) Virginia Crilley

Lisa types another obit. Since I have learned that Martin's Chapel, was also called Mt. Zion.... and there are several other Zorn people buried there.... I feel certain that Mary Zorn belongs in this cemetery!! Still hoping someone will be connected with the Zorn family. Thomaston Times Mrs. Mary Zorn Dead Mrs. Mary Zorn did in this city Thursday of last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F.M. Ellington, Her funeral and burial occured at Zion Chapel Friday, Rev. Claud Hendricks, Pastor of East Thomaston Circuit, conducting the exercise. The deceased died suddenly, it is said she was 65 years of age and was a member of the Methodist Church. Mrs. Zion is survived by the following children: Mrs. Ozella Ellington, Mrs. Alma Eidson and Mr. B.E. Zorn, all of Thomaston. The bereaved children have the sympathy of the people of this community in the death of their mother. Virginia Crilley

Lisa is typing these up.... can someone help us identify this family and the DATE !! Thomaston Times Little Frances Mitchell Dead. A sad death occurred Friday night, Dec. 11, when the death angel came and took little Francis Mitchell, Infant daughter of Mr.& Mrs, Ed Mitchell, home to dwell with God. She had been sick all year and although death had been expected several days before, it was a shock to the family and relatives of the Community. Rev. W.W. Childs, Yatesville. gave a talk, after which Little Francis was placed at rest in NEW HOPE CEMETERY. She is not dead but Sleepth. Thou art gone but not forgotten, dearest idol of their heart, they shall meet beyond the river, they where souls shall never part. heaven holdest now their treasure, earth the little casket keeps, and the sunbeams love to linger, where their darling baby sleeps.

Lisa keeps working on typing up her notes from her visit to the Trice Cemetery --- and here's the answer to my question about WHY it is called Trice. (**Lisa is doing such a great job!! And if you have ever tried to transcribe a cemetery, you know how much work it is. Not only trying to juggle the notepad and pencil, but also typing your scribbly notes once you get home!) Now, we just need you Trice researchers to help us with some of the relationships. Since they appear to be all related to the original Trice family in some way....but we'd like to add this information right to the name. Please, if you have any family buried in Trice Cemetery, let me hear from you. The basic information will be typed....we would just need you to help us with who they belong to. Historical Marker Upson County, Georgia Trice Cemetery, the largest burial ground in Upson County, Georgia, was established by William and Jane Tamplin Trice whose house once stood 300 yards west of the Cemetery. William (1789-1858) and Jane (1794-1856), both buried here were among the earliest settlers of Upson County (created December 1824). They moved to Upson from Jones County, Georgia, circa 1823 when the area was still Pike County, formerly Monroe. The oldest marked grave, dated 1837, is that of their Daughter, Milly Ann Trice Nelson. In 1857, James Trice, oldest son of William and Jane, commissioned the building of the Rock wall surrounding the original Cemetery. For this purpose he rented a slave, a skilled rock mason, from another planter. The date is carved into the Southwest corner stone. In 1904 additional land was donated by John Reeves Roberts, son-in-law of Milly Ann Nelson, "... for the purpose of providing a burial ground for the relatives of James Trice and such others as may be allowed..." All those buried within these walls are either descendants of William and Jane Trice, members of their allied families, or slaves owned by the family. Marble markers now replace the field stones which once marked the graves of the slaves. Trice Cemetery is maintained by contributions to the Trice Cemetery Memorial Association. Driving Directions: Yatesville Hwy 74 East, turn on Trice Road, Cemetery is on corner of Trice Cemetery Road and Trice Road. Virginia Crilley

I'm adding this to the New Hope Cemetery listing....but would like to have more information on this family.... Newspaper Article- Thomaston Times DEATH of LITTLE GLADYS BLOUNT Little Gladys was burned on Thursday afternoon about 5:00 Feb. 18, 1915. She suffered about a day and died Friday afternoon. She was buried Saturday afternoon at 3:00. The funeral was conducted at the home of her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Thad Blount, by Rev. W.W. Childs and her body was carried to New Hope Cemetery and buried. It was very sad for us all to give her up, but God always knows best. Everybody loved her and she wore a smile on her face everytime you saw her. We all sympathize with the family. A Little Friend.

Does anyone know WHY this has this name? With so many families buried here, you'd think it must have once been a church or a community cemetery!!! Lisa Graham visited the Trice Cemetery yesterday and is working on getting it typed up. (this is only part of it ---- tremendous amount of work she's doing!!) We'd like to have your help in adding MORE information about these individuals.... Trice Cemetery in Upson County This is a record as of Sept. 07, 2002 by Lisa Graham.

I'm very excited to report that Penny Cliff (the very energetic Archivist/Director of Thomaston Archives) is working with Lisa Graham in providing some newspaper obits. Some of these were clipped out without the dates.....so if you can help us supply exact dates that would be wonderful.....and the burial location. In fact, if one of you would volunteer to work on this with us, that would free both Lisa and I up to concentrate on other work. Your job would be to use your common sense, resource books (i.e. cemetery book, Upson Co History, on-line data like census, tax lists, etc) to try to determine the answers about the exact date of death and burial. You might search on the Boards to see if someone is researching that particular surname. Would some kind soul who isn't able to get to Upson County, but has time and interest to solve some of these "mysteries".... write me. That way when the obits are posted we might be able to add some "NOTES" that would help the researcher out. I've always found that when I do something in depth like this, I really help my own research out by some discovery that I never guessed I'd find!! >From: [email protected] >Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002 10:56:07 EDT > > >Thomaston Times >MR.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaupson/coroner.htm Someone contributed this wonderful page -- from the Thomaston Archives.... and I hoped that maybe someone else might be have looked at the FILE there and copied another page or two. We'd love to add to this one.... Also along the same line, a volunteer is working on the Death Indexes...and we now have them up through 1927. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/upson/vitals/deaths/ Anything you can share and help us with, I'd love to put on-line. Sometimes people ask my why we don't have MORE on-line for Upson County.....when there is so much available in the Thomaston-Archives. I'm dependent on people transcribing the materials they find, and sending them to me. I put them on-line and that really helps those people who can't get to Thomaston themselves to research. Same thing with LDS films....if you rent films on Upson County, and can transcribe even a few pages, that will help us all. Virginia Crilley

Does anyone know where the Hicks Farm was with family cemetery? My cousin said someone told her it was about 2 - 3 miles south of Thomaston on Hwy 19 if going north its off to the left of Hwy. 19. Do you know if a cemetery has been surveyed or found in that location? Would love to have a list of people buried there. I have not been to Thomaston, GA since I was about eight years old. So I have no clue where this could be. Thanks, June
