Bacon, Augustus O. United States senator-elect of Georgia, is anative of Bryan county, and was born there Oct 20, 1839. His parents were, however, residents of Liberty county, and he was born when his mother was on avisit to Bryan County.
His father was the Rev. Augustus O. Bacon, a Baptist minister, and on his mother's side he is a grand nephew of the late Judge William Law of Savannah, one of Georgia's most distinguished men. By the death of his parents the boy was left an orphan at an early age, but under the careof a grandmother he spent his boyhood, and at the age of 16 he entered theUniversity of Georgia, graduating in the collegiate course in 1859, and the lawschool in 1860. In October of that year he began the practice of his professionin Atlanta, but in May, 1861, he joined the force under the starry flag of theConfederacy, and enlisted as adjutant of the Ninth Georgia regiment.
In 1864 he was wedded to Miss Virginia Lamar of Macon, and when hostilitieswere ended Major Bacon returned to Macon, and has since practiced his professionthere. His success in his profession was immediate, and he quickly assumed aranking place in the Bibb county bar. In the summer of 1868, he made his debutin politics, being nominated by the democratic state convention as presidential elector for the then fourth congressional district. The compliment can be better appreciated when it is known it was made on the same day the great Bush Arbor mass-meeting at Atlanta, was held, and was for the purpose of invoking the highest oratorical ability. The masterly way in which he handled thequestions agitating the public, to the satisfaction of the party, marked himthen as one of the coming men of Georgia. Two years later, in 1870, he was elected to the legislature of 1871-72. He was re-elected to the next legislature, and in January, 1873, was chosen the speaker. In the fall of 1876,he was again elected, and this time was unanimously elected speaker. Under thenew constitution he was re-elected in December, 1877, for two years, and on theorganization of the house, was again unanimously elected speaker. In 1880, hewas again elected to the house from Bibb, and chosen speaker. Major Bacon's record, under the circumstances, could hardly be other than a brilliant one.His knowledge of law, fine executive ability and parliamentary experience andlearning, and fine personality, made him a model speaker. In 1883 he was a candidate for governor, and in that famous convention he had a large plurality. After a three-days deadlock a committee was named to suggest a candidate tothe convention, and, by a majority of only one vote, they agreed upon Hon.Henry McDaniel over Mr. Bacon. Two years later he was again a candidate forgovernor, being defeated by Hon. J. B. Gordon. The contest was a close one, andthough Gen. Gordon won, there was only a difference of about 1,500 in thepopular cote, several of the counties being carried by shoestring pluralities.He was chosen United States senator in 1894, after an exciting campaign and acanvas on the part of Mr. Bacon, remarkable for its organization and execution.Ref: Memoirs of Georgia, Volume I. The Southern Historical Association,1895].
Baldwin, Andrew Jackson, merchant and manufacturer, Dawson,Terrell Co., Ga., son of Moses H. and Elizabeth (Miller) Baldwin, nativesrespectively of Georgia and North Carolina, was born near Cuthbert, Randolph Co., Ga., in 1847. His father was bornin what is now Bibb county about 1814, and both parents dying he was left anorphan when he was about ten years old. He grew up as best he could, andeducated himself. He engaged in business in Macon with an elder brother untilthe latter part of 1830, when he went to Randolph county, where in 1841, hemarried and engaged prosperously in farming until 1850. Trading his farm forland in what is now Terrell County, he settled in January, 1850, where Dawson now stands, and continued farming. In 1856 the town was laid off and platted,and in 1858 was incorporated, and Mr. Baldwin's father built the first residence in the then new and now enterprising and prosperous city of Dawson. He now added a merchandise business to his farming, and operated a mill justover the line in Calhoun County.
He was very successful in his various enterprises until the war between the states occurred, when, besides valuable real estate holdings, he owned 100 slaves. He was active and energetic in business, and a shrewd trader. In politics he was an old-line whig, and waspostmaster at Dawson twenty years. He was a master Mason, and himself and wifewere members of the Methodist church. He died in Dawson in 1885, agedseventy-one years, and his widow died Jan. 3, 1894, aged seventy-two years.They were the parents of nine children: Martha E., who married R.T. Spearman,who as captain went with the Panola Rifles, of Dawson, into the Confederate service, and died in Virginia during the war; later she married R.T. Harper,Atlanta, in which city she died; John Wiley, partner of A.J.; A.J., the subjectof this sketch, and his twin brother, William R.; Lewis Spaight, deceased; Moses H., deceased; Mary Matilda, deceased; Sarah, widow of J.W. Turner; MarySpaight, wife of D.S. Ferguson, Dawson. Mr. Baldwin was reared in Dawson andattended the schools there until he was seventeen years old, when he enlistedin the Fifth regiment, Georgia reserves, and joined Gen. Hood's army. Heparticipated in the battle of Jonesboro, and was with the obstructionist forcesin from of Gen. Sherman when he was marching through Georgia and the Carolinas.He was wounded at Rivers' bridge by having both bones of his fore-arm broken,was sent to the hospital and was afterward furloughed and came home. His regiment surrendered at Bentonville, N.C. Soon after his return home he engagedin a general merchandising business with his father, and in 1868 went intobusiness for himself. In 1880 he put up a large ginnery and mill, and six yearslater added a planing mill and machine shop. Besides these individualenterprises he is interested in the oil mill and compress companies at Dawson.In 1891 the Baldwin three-story brick block, modern architecture andappointments, one of the finest in that part of the state, and an ornament tothe city, was built. Mr. Baldwin, of untiring industry, never still, personallylooks after all his enterprises, even to the minutest details, does all his ownbuying, and as this recital demonstrates, is a far-seeing and eminentlyprogressive citizen. The esteem in which he is held is shown by the fact thathe has repeatedly been elected an alderman, was early in life elected mayor atintervals, and then in 1892 elected again and re-elected in 1893 withoutopposition. Mr. Baldwin was happily married in Dawson in 1871 to Miss A.E.,daughter of John H. Crouch, formerly of Butler, Taylor Co., Ga., where she wasborn and reared. Nine children have blessed this union. Those living at homeare: William R., Andrew W., Florence A., Wiley L., Earnest, Moses C. and Alberta E. Two are dear-Lizzie, first-born, who died when eight months old, andan unnamed infant. Mr. Baldwin is a Knight of Honor, a member of the RoyalArcanum and has taken all the degrees in masonry. Himself and family aremembers of the Methodist church, of which he is one of the trustees. He is oneof the most influential citizens of the community, and his delightful home andinteresting family are deservedly popular. Ref: Memoirs of Georgia, Vol. II.

He studied at Jeffersonville, Twiggs Co., Ga, in the years1861-2-3. In 1863, though but sixteen years old, he entered the Confederateservice, enlisting in Company B, Second Georgia battalion of cavalry, as aprivate, and later was made orderly sergeant, serving as such until the surrender. He fought in the battles of Chickamauga and Griswoldville,participated in many skirmishes, and left the service with an enviable record. After the cessation of histilities he resumed his studies at the academy of Allentown, Twiggs Co., of which James E. Croslin, an educator of reputation,was principal, and then returned to his home in Bibb county, being called thereby the death of his father. He managed the homestead from 1866 to 1877, duringwhich period he was elected to represent Twiggs county on the general assembly,and during the session served with distinction on the committees on agriculture, public institutions and other matters before the legislature. Amajority of his fellow-members not favoring the permanent institution of thecollege at Dahlonega, a bill to that end was defeated, but Mr. Davis secured are consideration and succeeded to having the bill passed, to which fact the agricultural college at that point now owes its existence, and for which service he received unstinted praise. Entering municipal as well as state politics Mr. Davis has been elected alderman from three different wards of thecity of Macon; serving six years in all in the city council; and for fouryears of that time he acted as mayor pro tem. He has also been road commissioner from his district for several years. In 1880 he came to Macon andfive years later, in company with M. C. Balcomb, engaged in the business of handling cotton, the style of the firm being Davis & Balcomb. The firm existed until 1890, when it was re-arranged under the title of W. A. Davis& Co., and now continues as such. For years Mr. Davis was a director of the Merchants National bank of Macon, which went into voluntary liquidation in1893. He is now vice-president and director of the Guarantee company of Macon,and has interests in various other business enterprises. He is a thirty-second degree Mason and a Mystic Shriner. He has held all the principal offices in thesubordinate lodges, to-wit, past master of Macon lodge, No. 5, F. & A. M.; past high priest of Constantine chapter, Royal Arch Masons; past eminentcommander of the St. Omar commandery, Knights Templars, and he is at this timegrand senior warden of the grand lodge of the state. He is also a member of theI. O. O. F. and the Encampment, having held all the chairs and being at presentdistrict deputy grand master. He is past noble grand of the United Brothers lodge, I. O. O. F., and past chief patriarch of the Encampment. He is, as well, a Knight of Pythias. He affiliates with Baptist church, and, while living onhis farm, was for many years a deacon of the local church. In 1868 Mr. Davismarried Mary R., daughter of J. W. and Susan (Barlow) Summers; they have four children, Hattie B., Edwin, Mabel C. and Gussie M. Edwin is a graduate of Mercer university, Macon. Mr. Davis' father was Elisha Davis, a native of Burkecounty, Ga, who was several times elected to the general assembly. He was ajurist and served on the bench of the inferior court of Bibb county for manyyears. He died in 1866 at the age of sixty-one. Two of his sons, in addition to William A., served in the late war. John N. was in the Bibb county cavalry andwith the western army almost all the time that army was in the field. GilbertM. wnlisted in Hampton's brigade as a private, saw service during the entirewar period, and was mustered out when in command of his company. Elisha Davis'father was John Davis, a Virginian by birth and the son of John Davis, aWelshman, who emigrated from Wales to Virginia and was killed in the revolutionat the battle of Brandywine. William A. Davis has won his way in life by forceof individuality and honest determination to succeed, using his great naturalabilities to the best advantage; and as a public-spirited citizen has won ahost of friends in social, business and political circles.” Ref: Memoirs ofGeorgia, Volume I.

Huey, Georgia. "During this interview uncle George Huey who lived in Bibb County, Alabama visited us, to see his Father and mother, and sisters, who were then alive and lived on our place. I made my arrangements to go back with him and spend a few days there and then go on to Tuscaloosa. Which I accordingly did. Buthad like to have lost my horse in swimming him across the Cahawba River, by the side of a canoe, which was a very awkward and clumsy one, and the river being swollen, and current rapid, the boat took a sheer on us and pitched into athick clump of bushes and trees. I holding the bridle kept his head above the water, while he managed to untangle his limbs, and we pushed forward, so that he struck bottom and got out safely; much to the joy of my heart. This was on a Sunday morning. I had an appointment, and tried to preach thatday in a little shabby church, and to a little congregation of apparent careless listeners. Spent that night and next day with Uncle John Huey,and on Tuesday morning started for Tuscaloosa which place I reached Wednesday morning. Rode up in front of the Hotel where a gentleman met me, asked myname, and remarked "I suppose you have come to attend theconference," I told him I had, "said he light" my name isWalker. It proved to be Rev. R. L. Walker, the stationed preacher in the Methodist Church of that place, and to whom was assigned the duty of providing homes for the preachers. I was soon assigned to my quarters, my hosetaken charge of and cared for; and for that week I had nothing to do but attendthe sittings of the conference, witness and learn the working of this machineryof the church, attend public worship, form new acquaintances and c. and upon the whole had an exceedingly pleasant time."

Marshall, J. W., farmer, Burketts, Crawford Co., Ga., son of Joe and Nancy (Layfield) Marshall,was born in Bibb county in 1837. His paternal grandfather was John Marshall. He was a native of Virginia, moved from there to Georgia early in this century, and settled in Hancock county, where he died. He was a Primitive Baptist preacher, and was a soldier in the war of 1812. Mr. Marshall’s father was born in Hancock county; when a young man moved to Bibb county, where he reared his family, and then moved to Crawford, where he died. His occupation was that of a farmer, but the latter part of his life he became a great fox-hunter and hunted the county over. Mr. Marshall’s mother was the daughter of Jack Layfield, who was born in Hancock county and was a farmer all his life, which was spent entirely in Hancock County.
Mr. Marshall began life as a farmer’s boy, and poor, received very little schooling, and has followed farming all his life. Although not rich, he has prospered, and now has a large farm of good land. In 1862 he enlisted in Company E, Capt. Cleveland, Sixth Georgia regiment, and was engaged in many hard-fought, bloody battles, among them: Seven Pines, Cold Harbor, Chancellorsville, James Island, Ocean Pond, Weldon, Kurston, andBentonville. He was severely wounded in the battle of Cold Harbor, was in the hospital two months, and then came home, where he remained three months. When he recovered he returned to the army, and was again wounded at Bentonville. When the war ended he resumed farming, and bought his first land, a small farm in 1867, to which he has added. In 1860 Mr. Marshall was married to Miss Sarah Walker, born in Crawford county, daughter of Joe and Sarah (Woods) Walker. He was an old settler in the County.
To this union were born three children: Addie, Octavia, and Sallie. His wife died in 1873. Later in the same year he was married to Miss Nattie Thorp, born in Crawford county, daughter of Robert and Louise (Colbert) Thorp. He was born in Bibb county, and was a farmer all his life. Of the children born to this union six are living: Lila, Thomas, Bettie, Charlie,Lizzie and William L. Respected by his neighbors, Mr. Marshall is quietly enjoying the fruits of his labor.

Moreland, William, "planter, Dawson, Terrell Co., Ga.,son of Edward and Nancy (McClendon) Moreland, was born in Jones county, Ga.,Nov. 18, 1822. Mr. Moreland's grandfather was a weaver by trade and went amongthe Cherokee Indians a great deal teaching them how to weave. Finally he wentamong them, and as he was never heard from it was supposed he had died. He lefttwo children-Edward and Sallie-who were thus made orphans, and were reared byan aunt Atkinson in Jones County.
Sallie married Burrell McClendon, who, after living a number of years in Bibb county, moved to and settled in what is now Terrell County.
Mr. Moreland's father married his wife, oldest child of John McClendon,formerly of South Carolina. He lived in Jones county until he had six children, when he moved, about 1832, to within four miles of where the subject of thissketch is now living. It was partially improved, and a portion of the tractforms a part of the estate of Gen. Phil Cook. He lived on this place until hedied, in 1844, in the fifty-first year of his age. He became a cripple when ayoung man, but it did not affect his energy or determination of purpose. He wasan old-line whig in politics, and a member of the Methodist church, of which hewas a class leader many years. His maternal grandfather, John McClendon, was anative of South Carolina, whence, after he had considerable of a family hemoved to Alabama. Not being pleased he shortly returned to South Carolina. Notlong afterward he came to Georgia and settled in Jones county, whence, about 1830, he moved to Lee county and settled on land which is now a part of Gen. PhilCook's estate, where he lived until he died, in his seventy-first year. Inpolitics he was an uncompromising whig. His wife was Miss Dicey Blackwell, bornin South Carolina, and they reared a large family of children. To Mr.Moreland's parents ten children were born, all of whom but one grew tomaturity: John, who was a volunteer in the Florida war, died in 1891 while on avisit to that state; Bartley (deceased), moved to Arkansas, and served in thearmy during the late unpleasantness; William M., the subject of this sketch;Martha, deceased wife of George W. King, Alabama; Dicey, deceased wife of JamesBrown, Terrell county; Joseph went to Pike county, Ala., enlisted in theConfederate service, was taken sick at the siege of Vicksburg, and died on the wayhome; Newton was in the service with his brother Joseph, was taken sick anddied at Vicksburg; Elizabeth, widow of Calvin C. Kersey, formerly of Lee, nowTerrell county; Dennis went to Alabama, entered the Confederate service inwhich he died; Sallie died when a child. The mother of these children died whenabout forty-five years of age-a consistent member of the Methodist church. Forhis second wife Mr. Moreland married Mrs. Polly (nee McClendon) Hawkins, bywhom he had one child, Hugh, now living in Louisiana. Mr. Moreland was in hiseleventh year when his father moved to Lee from Jones county, where he hadenjoyed excellent school facilities. These were quite limited in his new home;and his father's crippled condition making it necessary for the older childrento assist in the plantation work, he was deprived of further school advantages.But when he became of age he attended subscription schools several months, much to his advantage. In 1848 he moved to where he now lives, eight miles east of Dawson, in sight of which he has lived more that sixty years, and commenced farming, which has been his life occupation. When he located where he is thecountry was comparatively unsettled, and his nearest white neighbor was five miles distant, and very little clearing except along Middle creek. In 1863 heenlisted in the Sixty-fourth Georgia regiment under Gen. A.H. Colquitt, andserved until the battle of Ocean Pond, Fla., Oct. 20, 1864, when he wasseriously wounded by being shot through the right choulder by a minie ball,fracturing the bone. He was sent to the hospital at Tallahassee, Fla., and soonafterward given a furlough and came home. While at home he was taken sick andcould not re-enter the service, so he went to Virginia, where his command wasand secured an honorable discharge. He then returned to his farm to which hehas since given his undivided attention. His first purchase of land was sixty acres, to which he added from time to time until owned 800 acres. Unambitious of office, and having no higher worldly aspiration that that of being a goodcitizen and neghbor, he has pursued the quiet life of a farmer, devotinghimself exclusively to his farming interests. He makes plenty and to spare;possessing a pleasant home and the affectionate regard of his family and theunreserved esteem of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Moreland was married in Houstoncounty, Ga., Dec. 16, 1847, to Miss Rhoda Marshall, born Jones county, Ga. in 1827 by whom he has had seven children: Barley, living on adjoining plantation; Nancy, deceased wife of Nathan Davis; Martha, Mrs. J.T. King, Terrell county; Sallie, deceased wife of J.T. Kitchens; Rebecca, Mrs. Dr. J.R. Kidd, Preston,Webster Co., Ga.; Victoria, Mrs. J.T. Kitchens, Terrell county; W.E., living ona part of the old homestead. Before the war Mr. Moreland was an old-line whig,but since the war he has voted with the democracy. Himself and wife areexemplary and revered members of the Primitive Baptist church.". Ref: Memoirs of Georgia, Volume II.

Redding, D. S., Capt."planter, Juliette, MonroeCounty, Georgia, son of Thomas and Maria (Searcy) Redding, was born in MonroeCounty, July 5, 1832. The Redding family is of Irish descent and members of itcame from Ireland to America about the middle of the last century. Thegrandfather of Capt. Redding, Anderson Redding, was a soldier in the Patriotarmy during the Revolutionary War, and was present at the surrender ofCornwallis at Yorktown. He migrated from Virginia in 1782 and settled on landsubsequently included in what is now Baldwin County, Georgia. He lived on thisland until late in the twenties, when he followed his son (the father of Capt.Redding) to Monroe County, where he lived the remainder of his life. He raised a family of six children –all now dead. One of his sons, W.C., represented his county in the General Assembly.He was a Methodist and very devout. Mr. Redding’s father was born in 1792 and was married in Baldwin County and moved to Monroe County in 1822 and settled near Pope’s Ferry, on the Ocmulgee River. Later he moved to where Capt. Redding now lives, and the house he then built is still standing. Here nine children were raised, of whom two only areliving. These children were: Martha, died in Macon; William A. and James M.,killed at Griswoldsville, Georgia; Thomas A., killed at Jonesboro, Georgia; Charles,captain of Floyd Rifles of Macon, Georgia, killed at Gettysburg in Pickett’sfamous charge; Mary E., widow of Thomas Dougherty, Macon, Georgia; D.S., thesubject of this sketch; Sallie M., deceased wife of Capt. Joseph H. White, whowas killed at Manassas; John M., a member of Capt. Redding’s company, killed inthe battle of the Wilderness. Capt. Redding’s father began life very poor, butby hard work, economy and good judgment he accumulated a good property. He wasone of the first settlers in Monroe County, which was organized in 1821. Hismother’s father (Searcy) was a teacher quite prominent in his day andaccumulated a fortune, and one of her brothers was a fine physician, andanother was a Baptist preacher. She died in 1857. Mr. Redding was a Democratand a very pious member of the Methodist church. He died in 1877, agedeighty-five years. Excepting when absent during the war, Capt. Redding has passed his life on his plantation in Monroe County.
He enlisted in March 1862in Capt. J.H. White’s company, which became Company D, Forth-fifth Georgiaregiment, and was made sergeant. The command went at once to the front, and subsequently participated in the great battles of Chancellorsville,Fredericksburg, the Wilderness and others. Having been detailed to guardprisoners, he was not in the Pennsylvania campaign. In 1864 he was appointedcaptain of the company, and was captured at Petersburg six days before thesurrender. He was taken to Johnson’s Island, where he was kept about twomonths. It is an incident worthy of record that of six brothers in this family,five of them gave their lives to the "lost cause." Few families can parallelthis devotion, and such a sacrifice for what they deemed the right. Capt.Redding was married the year he was twenty-seven years old (1859) to Miss ClaraP. Blantor, of Spalding County.
She was a graduate of the Female College ofGriffin, Georgia in 1860, was the valedictorian of her class and was a woman ofa superior mind and much intelligence. Her education and refined habits enabledher to be of great aid of her children in their early training; and by them shewas idealized. Her goodness endeared her to neighbors and friends and it can betruly said, "None knew her but to love her." She was a conscientious Christianand was president of the Woman’s Missionary society of her church when shedied. Twenty-five years of a happy married life and she passed to the othershore, leaving by her pure life, holy influences, good lessons and bright workssuch as impressions that even time can never obliterate. By this marriage there were born to him ninechildren: Charles D., physician, Bibb County, Georgia; W.B., teacher, BibbCounty; Mamie, teacher, Bibb County; Julia, teacher, near home; Annie, at home;Alice, wife of Redding Howard, Houston County, Georgia; and Rosa; Arthur T.;and James A., all at home. The mother of these children died in 1885, and Capt.Redding was married in Jones County, December 4, 1888, to Miss Addie J.,daughter of J.C. and Addie C. White. Her grandfather, James White, migratedfrom Virginia to Georgia, and lived first in Meriwether County, and then inother counties, and died at the age of forty-eight years. Her father settledand lived in Jones County, where his father had lived before him, and where her parents raised ten children, of whom, besides Mrs. Redding, four are living: George B., William F., Thomas A. and Carrie, wife of F.C. Goolsby. Altogetherthe Redding family has a rather remarkable history in war and in peace, in its patriotic sacrifices through generations, for country, and in its historicconnection with the portion of the state in which they live. Among the firstsettlers in Baldwin and Monroe Counties, on both sides, their names areconnected with their historical records, and written in blood on battlefields.It is the pride of Capt. Redding that he gave all his children the besteducation in his power, that they are intelligent and useful members of thecommunities in which they live, and are honored and esteemed, the elder oneswho have gone out into the world occupying honorable positions. Capt. Redding is a Democrat and has served a term as county commissioner. He lives and isenjoying life on a fine 500-acre plantation nine miles east of Forsyth. He is amaster Mason and is a member of the Methodist church, of which he has been asteward and class leader for forty years. ". Ref: Memoirs of Georgia, Monroe County Sketches.

Taylor, Eden. "planter, Popes Ferry, Monroe Co., Ga.,son of Job and Mary (Warthen) Taylor, was born in Monroe county, Nov. 8, 1834.He is a descendant on both sides, from some of the best Virginia families, andfrom the earliest settlers in Washington and Monroe counties, a noble scion ofold, honorable and honored ancestral stock. Job Taylor, his father, was born in Virginia, and, at maturity, came with his brothers, George and Robert toGeorgia, and, in 1824, settled in Monroe county, a few miles east of Forsyth.As he prospered he added to his domain until he was the largest land-owner inthe county, his holdings amounting to 10,000 acres in Monroe and adjoining counties, besides, about 30,000 acres of wild lands in Alabama. He lived toaccumulate the largest landed and slave property of any citizen of the county,and at the same time was known and recognized as one of the most austerelyreligious of men. Mr. Taylor is remembered by the older citizens as one whopossessed, in a very remarkable tree, true piety and extraordinary businessability, a rare combination to maintain, as the money-making faculty too often overshadows or entirely overcomes, the religious sentiment. It was oftenremarked of him that Job Taylor came nearer serving God and mammon” than anyman of his time. In the use of his wealth Mr. Taylor was exceedinglypublic-spirited and charitable. No school or church committee ever failed toreceive a liberal response, while he was ever ready to extend generous aid toneighbors in obtaining facilities for utilizing or making their products. When the Central railway was projected (then known as the Monroe railroad) he was one of its earliest and staunchest supporters in his locality. He finally lostover $30,000 in consequence of his excess of enthusiasm and over-zealousness,as he graded a large number of miles for which he never received a cent. Asalready remarked, Mr. Taylor lived his religion. It entered into every act ofhis life. The family altar was as much an institution of his home as his diningtable. It is said that, no matter what time of night he came in, if delayedfrom any cause, the candles were lit and the entire family assembled to bepresent at prayers. Mr. Taylor married Miss Mary Warthen, in Washington county,when she was but sixteen years old—he being thirty-five. She proved to be ahelpmate indeed, a woman fit in every respect to be his life-companion. Loving,affectionate and charitable, she was the embodiment of Christian gentleness. Inher latter days she became entirely blind, but it is related that during the war, notwithstanding this sad deprivation, she kept an entire company supplied with socks, knitting them with her own hands. She died in 1880, aged eighty-twoyears, having outlived her husband twenty- four years. This union was blessedwith ten children: William, deceased; Sarah, widow of Col. W. B Long; Frank,deceased, George, deceased; Mary, deceased; Job E., deceased; Eden the subjectof this sketch; Camilla, deceased; Elijah B., Monroe county, and Rebecca,deceased. Eden Taylor has passed a life of usefulness on his plantation in Monroe County.
He is best known throughout the state as the efficient secretaryof the state grange during its entire existence, from 1872 to 1888. It is butjust to say that the success of that excellent farmers’ organization in Georgia was largely due to his untiring efforts. He is now a member of the board whichhas charge of the state experiment station. Mr. Taylor has been married twice.He was first married near Perry, Houston Co., in 1859, to Miss Georgia V.Tharp, by whom he had four children: Guy, farmer, Bibb county, Ga.; Maud,deceased; Claudia, wife of Will G. Bass, Bibb county, and Georgia E., a lovely girl, who died June i, 1894. The mother of these children died in 1872, and Mr.Taylor contracted a marriage in 1874, near Hayneville, Houston Co., with MissSallie H. Brown. This second union has been blessed with four children; Rosa,Odille, Brown and Eden, Jr. As were his people before him, he is a member of the Missionary Baptist church, a public-spirited citizen, and a courteousgentleman.
