Good 'COLD' January afternoon Listmembers, Like our friend Joy, I Enjoyed reading about Linda Clark's snow! I have only seen light snow living here in North Florida my whole life. I found the following in my data files. Are any of you connected to any of the names listed below? If so, PLEASE copy and paste the name(s) to a new e-mail and add what you are willing to share for the individual(s). We might be able to take this and build something real nice from it. Fun huh? We will post it to our GenWeb site for Ware County. Sharon =============================================== Homerville, Georgia Georgia P-52 History of the CCC CAMP Company 1413 On June 2, 1933, Company 1413 came into existence. Prior to or sometime during the month of May of that year, a group of men connected with the Army, together with others who were connected with the Forestry branch, arrived in Homerville to ascertain whether or not a Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) campsite should be located there. Their verdict proved to be in the affirmative, so on May 25, Captain Patten, an officer of the Army arrived at Homerville, with fourteen members of the C.C.C. from Jacksonville, Florida, and erected a tent on the present campsite. On June 2, two hundred enrollees under the command of Captain Earle A. Johnson, 29th Infantry, arrived at the location and by sundown all tents were up and the cots installed, and Company 1413 was off to a "flying start." This company has remained at its original location, within a stones throw of the town of Homerville, during its entire existence. Members of the company have made commendable accomplishment in the performance of the various work projects under supervision of the Forestry officials. Among the projects undertaken are: bridge construction, development of truck trails, and fire breaks, reforestation, fire tower erection, telephone line construction, and maintenance, and numerous other worthwhile endeavors. In the field of sports, Company 1413 has made an enviable record, having won the championship in basketball, baseball, and football in this district in 1935, as well as third place in basketball in 1936. A program of intra-camp sports serves to interest those members who do not take part in inter-camp activities. Access to an excellent swimming pool, tennis courts, etc., tend toward the maintenance of high morale of the men. The educational program is one of comprehensive scope, with special emphasis being placed on vocational courses. During the past year it has grown to such an extent that three buildings are necessary to accommodate all the classes. There are now two W.P.A. instructors, in addition to ten others offering instruction in academic, commercial and vocational subjects to over 90 per cent of the enrollees. Present plans call for an additional building to house an enlarged reading room and library. Hundreds of free books have been secured through the efforts of the present commanding officer, Captain J.D. Giddens, and the Adviser H.E. Knight. The camp newspaper, the Palmetto Post, is considered one of the best in this district. The relationship between the men of the company, and the citizens of this community has been of the highest type. The co-operation between the two groups has proved mutually helpful, affording the members of this company advantages seldom enjoyed by those located in camps remote from such communities. Since it was organized, this company has been under the command of the following officers: Captain Earle A. Johnson, 29th Infantry; Captain Hugh B. Dudley, 328th Infantry; First Lieutenant Clarence S. Miller, Captain Harvey L. Burnette, 327th Infantry; First Lieutenant W.S. Heron, Captain Jerome D. Giddens, 325th Infantry. On March 1, Lieutenant Edward S. Moale, E-V, (S), USNR, relieved Captain Giddens as Commanding Officer. His assistants when this was written were: First Lieutenant Joseph T. Hall, Jr., Exchange Officer and First Lieutenant Abraham H. Center, Surgeon. Company 1413 Georgia P-52 Homerville, Georgia Roster Technical Personnel: ----------------------- Sam J.

Hi Sharon, May I ask how you came to have this data? And what the 'source' is for the information? I ask because my grandfather, Ivy L Evans, is listed :-) Imagine to my sheer delight to open up this email and see his name in print :-) Wednesday was my 50th birthday and this is such a wonderful 'gift'. THANK YOU. Grandaddy passed away on Dec 13, 1981and has been on my mind so much these past few weeks. We lost my grandmother a mere 7 days later, Dec 21, 1981. We lost my dad on Dec 31, 1995 so the month of December is incredibly sad at times. I have to rejoice in the fact that I'll see them all one day again :-) Seeing grandaddy's name has brought tears to these eyes but I am sooooo very thankful to you for posting this information!!!!!!!!!!! I've heard several in the family speak of his involvement with the CCC camp but no one has ever really told the 'whole story' as I'd love to hear it. I'll be sure and call my aunt in the morning; she's the only one left living in the family and I know she'll love reading what you've sent to the list. Maybe it will spark some memory and she'll be able to tell me more. I'll be glad to share anything she tells me with you in the hopes it can add to your project. Thank you so much again. If you have this on hard copy, is there any way I could get a copy?
