  • Ben Hill Griffin, III Interviewer: Vernon Peeples Date: June 1, 2000
    VP 5 Inteviewee: Ben Hill Griffin, III Interviewer: Vernon Peeples Date: June 1, 2000 P: This is an interview with Ben Hill Griffin, III, in Frostproof, Florida, on June 1, 2000. First, what is your full name? G: My full name is Ben Hill Griffin, III. P: And the name of your father? G: His name was Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. P: And his father? G: Was Ben Hill Griffin. He was not Sr. He was just Ben Hill Griffin. P: That’s an interesting name, and there has to be a history behind how your family acquired the name of Ben Hill. G: Okay. It’s a very interesting story. Part of our roots, of our heritage, go back into Georgia. Back in some 1876 or so, there was a great senator, U. S. senator, of Georgia. His name was Benjamin Harvey Hill. He was highly recognized because he was a statesman. He couldn’t be influenced. We all know what a statesman is. They vote in state what they believe strongly. So, he was recognized by that. My great-grandfather so highly admired him that – the senator’s name was Benjamin Harvey Hill – he picked up the first and last name, Ben Hill. His last name was Griffin, of course, so he named my grandfather Ben Hill Griffin in recognition of his great admiration for Benjamin Harvey Hill. It’s kind of like John Glenn. When John Glenn was the first astronaut, there were tens of thousands of babies named John Glenn Smith, John Glenn Griffin, John Glenn Peeples, John Glenn Gordon.

  • History of Troup County, Georgia
    Courtesy of http://www.gagenweb.org Online: 12/01/2005 Electronic Edition - All Rights Reserved. THE AUTHOR 0 HISTORY of Troup County would be complete without the biog- raphy of the author of this book, the man whose brain and pen have preserved for future generations the traditions and achievements of the people of this county. Clifford Lewis Smith, the fifth child of Rufus Wright and Oreon Mann Smith, was born in Greene County, Georgia, March 25, 1867. He came of a family of artists and educators. April 2, 1893, he was married to Miss Pearl Long of Greenwood, Florida, whose genius and culture have been an inspiration to him. After attending Emory College and Chicago University, he selected teaching as a profession and taught several years in LaGrange Female College. When LaGrange established a public school system, he was elected superintendent of the schools and held the position for fourteen years. He assisted in completing the plans for Harwell Avenue Grammar School and the High School buildings. For a number of years he held a most responsible position with the New England Southern Mills and the Callaway Mills, rendering valuable service in the research and engineering departments of those mills. It is said by those who know that Professor Smith is the most versatile man in this section of the state. He has no particular hobby, but takes a delight in solving problems in higher mathematics. Some years ago, he pre- sented a monograph of seventy-five solutions to the Pythagorean Problem to the University of Chicago and received a letter of congratulations from the pedagogical department on the work.
