According to the Memphis Daily Appeal, October 13, 1868, “He was standing in one of the corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, conversing with his wife, in apparent health, when he suddenly put his hand to his head, gasped, ‘I am ill-very ill’, sank to the floor, and died”. It was not there in New York where Cobb would remain. Later within the same article it stated that, “the body of Howell Cobb has been moved to a Savannah steamer, and will be taken to Georgia tomorrow for interment”. According to Howell Cobb’s tombstone, he served as solicitor general for the western circuit, represented Georgia in the Congress of the United States 1843-1851, 1855-1857, was the 31st speaker of the House of Representatives, Governor of the state of Georgia 1851-1853, Secretary of the United States Treasury under Buchannan’s administration, and was named President of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America, and a Colonel in the 16th regiment of the Georgia Volunteers which then he was promoted to a Brigadier General and finally Major General in the Confederate States Army. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045160/1868-10-13/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1868&index=0&rows=20&words=Cobb+Howell&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=Georgia&date2=1868&proxtext=Howell+Cobb&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1 citation needed confed plot needed https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/c2926d40ee52fe4d618ea16b5e664663.jpg 3025f05f8824a47b8c08325a4a402df4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He is the founder of National Bank of Athens and Athens Hardware Company. He was also a Confederate veteran in the Civil War. Although he did not die in the battlefield and it is unknown of how he passed away, Childs died in July of 1902. His grave is located at the Oconee Cemetery of Athens, GA -- along with his wife, Susan Ingle Childs, and other Childs family members. Asaph Childs with his brother Otis, worked as silverman and jeweler in Milledgeville, GA from 1835 to 1846. Then, for a year, Childs moved to Athens, GA -- where he and his fellows mates partnered to open Hardware stores: “Two music shops and a photography studio, groceries and clothiers, and numerous other new ventures began.” Thanks to people like Asaph, small businesses grew in Athens than ever before the Civil War. From then on, Asaph continued to reside in Athens with his business and involvement in real estate and banking. One of the fascinating things about Asaph’s grave memorial is the burial with all his related families. All the Childs family members are buried together in the same space. Furthermore, the family’s grave site has a distinct memorial statue -- a female figure holding a long cross. With Childs’ involvement in the Civil War as a Confederate veteran and dedication towards the city of Athens business, perhaps the family’s grave site includes sophisticated memorials to honor the family. <address>Works Cited "American Silversmiths."

Thurmond was born April 2nd, 1820, and died July 15, 1887. Samuel Thurmond was a Civil War veteran, a respected member of his community, and a highly successful lawyer. He was reputed for his honest and charismatic nature, and was apparently one of the most popular people in Athens. His trustworthy reputation and his determination in all areas of his life left him among Athens’ wealthiest and most successful, and was estimated to be worth “more than one hundred thousand,” at the time of his death in 1887. Colonel Thurmond died of Bright’s disease, as a result of a fatal kidney infection, in the comfort of his Athens residence. Samuel Thurmond was married to Elizabeth Amanda Long Thurmond, and had two daughters, Sallie and Carrie. The family shares one of the most desirable plots in the cemetery, as it has Sanford Stadium as its immediate backsplash. Samuel P. Thurmond will be remembered for his success in the courtroom, and his aptitude for social interaction. <address>Citation:</address><address>https://findagrave.net/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27573070</address><address> </address> description needed plot needed SP16 https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/b3244639bcc53abe570441126ce80041.jpg 6035d5a71f905aaac78394f7a45093f1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Her husband, Reuben Nickerson, was a well-known figure in the community and she was respected as well. Mrs. Nickerson’s family history has roots in the Methodist Church as her grandmother, Mary Millington, was a member of the original Methodist Church in England. In the June 30, 1903 edition of the Athens Banner Herald her connection to the Church is featured by making note of her ownership of a bible that founding member Charles Wesley gave to her grandmother in 1783. When Maria Nickerson died in 1913 the Clark County Courier wrote her obituary and highlighted her 54 year membership to the Oconee Street Methodist Church. She is now buried in plot number WH103 in Oconee Hill Cemetery. https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/d321abb548ff044acdc358c22e8cc571.jpg 4c0b9d33245dcd6d91148c4ccbfdc692 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
