Wells and To the twenty-five thousand Georgia girls who have entered the portals of the old Executive Mansion FOREWORD President and Mrs. Guy H. Wells have asked me to write the story of the one hundred years of the old Executive Mansion, and to no pleasanter task could thei writer devote herself. There are many in Georgia today whom she would like to summon to adorn the tale with incidents from memory or tradition. “The most im¬ portant history for any community is its own past, not that of far countries or ancient times,” says a Georgia historian, Dr. Merton Coulter. Many of us realize our debt to the future but forget that we owe a debt to the past. Our excuses for failure to write the history of Milledgeville, Georgia’s capital for more than sixty years, are like those in Arthur Ketchum’s poem “The Grieving Men”.

ALEX. BROWN FOREWORD OLLOWING a resurgence of interest in genealogy and Fmuch conversation in the family about collateral lines and allied families, my work was cut out for me when my grandson, the fifth Billington Sanders Walker asked for a history of the Walkers. Members of the family who had been collecting data for almost a lifetime put their material in my lap and gave me their blessings, pleased that the youngest of the loved and honored name was interested in its perpetuation. I accept the assignment with humility and a fervent desire to accomplish it worthily. My most difficult assignment, because it is a labor of love, will require much thoughtful planning and research, and were it not for the wholehearted cooperation of the Walkers, I should hesitate to undertake it.

  • Verlyn Moore, Jr. James Mackay
    VERLYN MOORE, JR. JAMES MACKAY: Your Program Committee asked the History Committee of the Bar to arrange a special program today for a special reason: This is the 250 th anniversary of Georgia. It is the 161 st anniversary of the founding of this county. We are having this program in conjunction with the DeKalb Historical Society, which was founded by Carl Hudgins, who departed this life on October 15. Carl, many of you did not know because he has been ill the last two years, but he was admitted to the practice of law in 1915 and was still at it in 1980. And I don’t know anybody that has passed him, but one of our debts to this splendid man was that he founded the Historical Society, and the Bar and the Historical Society do all sorts of things together. Fay Hill [spelling?], the president of the Historical Society could not be with us today. Whit Smith here and Pat Davis are vice presidents of the Bar—I mean, of the Historical Society. Rick Shinall is in charge of the videotape history project. And I would like to give a round of applause to Howard Worthy, who recognized that this was a program worth videotaping and preserving in the archives of this county. Howard, will you stand up, since we’re not paying you, and let us applaud you? [laughter, applause] Now, there’s no better way to have a program than to have speak to you a person that would get the unanimous vote as having been cut out of the finest oak—human oak—in this state’s history, because the family has been a part of this community since 1837, just thirteen years after this county started.

Since the 3d edition of the Gazetteer of Georgia was published, in 1837, some forty new counties have been organized, making the whole number 132. True, since that date Rev. George White* has issued two statistical works; but as great changes have been made, a new edition of the Gazetteer is demanded. The census of 1859 has not been included, because it was not complete at first, as published by the Comptroller General, in the hope that the enumeration of 1860 would be out in time for this work. The papers will print it as early as pos sible, and when desired can be pasted upon the inside cover of this book. The Railroad routes, with the distances from place to place on the rude maps, will be a great convenience to travellers, and furnish all the information necessary in the cars.
