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.

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!
