    <dcterms:coverage><![CDATA[Colonel Samuel P. 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.<br /><br /><address>Citation:</address><address>https://findagrave.net/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=27573070</address><address><span> </span></address>]]></dcterms:coverage>

    <dcterms:coverage><![CDATA[​Howell Cobb was born on September 7, 1815 in Jefferson, Georgia and died on October 9, 1868 in New York City, New York. 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
