This comes from the GA list, does any one know who the Elizabeth Mims is in this??? NEEDHAM A. BUXTON, merchant and farmer, Girard, Ga., was born in Burke county in 1835, and is the son of William and Mary (Wimberly) Buxton, and the grandson of Samuel Buxton. His mother was a daughter of Needham Wimberly, a successful farmer and native of Burke county, but a man who did not own any slaves, though operating a large estate. Receiving a good common-school education, the subject of this sketch studied assiduously and fitted himself for teaching, a vocation he followed for ten years. In 1864 he enlisted in the state militia and was engaged in the battles of Atlanta and Griswoldville. In 1875 he married Anna E. Oliver, daughter of Thomas and ELIZABETH MIMS (abt 1848)Oliver. Mr. Oliver now lives in Screven county and is a leading citizen there. This union was blessed by the birth of two children now living: William O. and Julian A.

Upon his return from the war Mr. Buxton began teaching school, but in a few years he engaged in a mercantile business and farming. For twenty-five years he was in partnership with his brother, Samuel H. Buxton. He is at present in business for himself. Mr. Buxton is a man of strict integrity, and his word is as good as his bond. His business career has been as honorable as it has been fortunate.
