Good Morning All, I have been on the GAWARE list since it was begun. Some of you likewise. I don't usually send poetry to the list. But the following poem, sent to me by a cousin, will now be on my mind each time I visit a new gravestone. I hope you're spending your dash well. Kati The Dash I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, From the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. (1933 - 1998) For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her, Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; The cars...the house...the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard... Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what's true and real, And always try to understand The way other people feel And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile.. Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy's being read With your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?

Hi Judy! You got me with the Paffords. My great grandmother, Victoria Alice Pafford Bethune, and her brother, John were adopted in Coffee County (Vidalia) Georgia by Hester and Newton Pafford (this was around 1890ish). Just wondering if your Pafford cousin is related to that line? I've actually met the brother's great grandson online, and he didn't know about the adoption! Small internet geneology world! Thanks!

Hello List, I came across a very interesting item while looking for something totally unrelated and thought it needed mention. It seems there was a novelist born in Waycross that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1934 for Literature. The novel was "Lamb in his Bosom" and the author was Caroline Miller who just happened to be a PAFFORD. She was b. August 26, 1903 in Waycross to Elias Pafford and Levy Zan Pafford. I know the surname will interest many. I have a Pafford cousin as well. Here is a link that gives some history on this author. Paste to your browser. http://www.peanut.org/users/mike/text/Caroline.htm Enjoy, Judy N.

Thanks Judy. Very interesting lady and the book sounds so good I just ordered one off line! <smile?> Kay --- PetiboneL@aol.com wrote: > Hello List, > > I came across a very interesting item while looking > for something totally > unrelated and thought it needed mention. > > It seems there was a novelist born in Waycross that > won the Pulitzer Prize in > 1934 for Literature.

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: Joseph Carter joseph.carter@sbcglobal.net March 29, 2006, 3:49 pm Atlanta Journal 1938 (Atlanta) Journal Covers Dixie Like the Dew Mond(ay Oct 10, 1938) Marks 91st Birthday With Peace Prayer Civil War Was the Worst of Them All, Mrs. Williams Says Waycross, Ga. Oct 10 – Mrs. Mary Bullard Williams , who is celebrating her ninety-first ((birthday)) Monday at her home, Alma, Route 3, is thankful most that war has been averted. The wrinkled little old lady, with eyes as bright as though she were 18, has lived through “three awful wars,” and she prays fervently that the world will be spared another. “I can’t see any sense in fighting, “ she declares, recalling the horrors and suffering of the War Between the States, the Spanish-American War, and the World War. The conflict which came closest home to the pioneer south Georgia woman was the War Between the States, which prompts her declaration that “that was the worst war of ‘em all.” As a young girl, whose sweetheart was in the Confederate army, she endured many hardships and heartaches. “I had to plow in the fields, and cut oak trees from which we burned ashes and made soap,” she recalls. Aside from the world’s efforts to maintain peace, there are other things for which Mrs. Williams is grateful. “All five of my children are living, and I thank God for that,” she says fervently. Her oldest child is 72, her youngest 52. There are many grandchildren, a number of great- grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Every one of them, she declares, is a reason for hating war. Mrs. Williams, originally a member of the Bullard family, was born October 10, 1847, at old Tuten’s Ferry, on the upper Satilla River, in Ware County . She married Noah Williams , a Confederate soldier, in 1865, near the close of the war. Her husband died in 1920, at the age of 82. Mrs. Williams’ four (sic) children, all of whom are living, are: Mrs. Lorena Aldridge , 72, Jacksonville; J M Williams , 70, Alma; Mrs. Mary Bullard , 64, Bacon County; Reppard Williams , 58, Jacksonville; ((and)) John A. Williams , 52, Bacon County. Mrs. Williams and most of her children and grandchildren live in the New Lacy section, five miles from Alma ((now Bacon County)), within a short distance of the place where Mrs. Williams was born nearly a century ago. Additional Comments: Mary Bullard Williams, b. 10 Oct 1847, d. 03 Jan 1939. Birth year is actually 1851, so her true age was 87 at the time of this article. Mary was the first (and only) Georgia-born child of William Bullard and Martha Thompson of Robeson County, NC. The Bullard family was enumerated in the 1850 census of MD436 of Appling County, GA right after moving to Georgia. Mary was first enumerated in the 1860 census of Holmesville, Appling Co, GA and her age was given as 8 years. Starting in the 1870 census, Mary, now married with 2 children aged 2 and 4, boosted her age from 18 to 23, possibly because she didn’t want to admit that she married at ripe old age of 14. A reference to the “Munich Agreement” signed Sept 30, 1938 by German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, which put off the start of World War Two by a couple of days. Federal Censuses from 1850 through 1930, show that the Bullard family never lived outside of Appling County.
