Asaph King Childs, who was born on December 9th, 1820 in Springfield, Massachusetts was a well-known merchant and jeweler in Athens, Georgia. 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.<br /><br /><address>Works Cited "American Silversmiths."

Bertha Funkenstein Michael was the daughter of Rosa and Pincus (“Peter”) Funkenstein, the third president of Congregation Children of Israel in Athens, Georgia. She was born March 3, 1863—right in the middle of the Civil War—and her father, a German-born furniture salesman, likely resided on Hancock Avenue. Before living in Athens, her father lived in San Francisco, Ca. where he also sold furniture. Bertha was one of six children and, according to an oral history interview with her nephew, their family was pro-Union.
Bertha married Lee J. Michael, a member of the Mount Vernon No. 22 masonic lodge. It is likely that the two met because both of their families were active in the Jewish congregation. In fact, by 1927, only 185 Jews lived in Athens according to the Institute of Southern Jewish Life, making it even tighter-knit 50 years earlier.
Sometime before 1900, Lee and Bertha moved to Macon, Ga. According to ISJL, Children of Israel was becoming less orthodox and more reformed at that time, whereas the synagogue in Macon, Temple Beth Israel, was still orthodox after its founding in 1852. Descendants of Bertha and Lee’s four children attended Beth Israel, so it is possible the couple moved because of the more religious community.
During their lifetimes, the Michaels presumably lived comfortably. Lee’s cousins, Moses and Simon, owned Michael Brothers, a successful department store which operated in the tallest building in Athens before a fire sent them to their new location on East Clayton Street—the current building housing Mellow Mushroom.
Bertha died (before both her parents) in Macon on February 1, 1904 after an illness, and in 1910 Lee moved back to Athens. He died nine years after his wife in South Carolina and is also buried in Oconee Hill.
At least one of Bertha’s children, Morris Michael, stayed in Macon and was buried there in the Riverside Cemetery in 1943, where his wife’s family, the Happs, are also interred.

Colonel William Deloney raised a cavalry company in Athens, GA, in 1861 with the intent of joining the new Cobb Legion, or Georgia Legion, which was part of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Deloney was named commander of Company C, and later his entire battalion, and continued in these roles until the time of his death. Deloney was seriously injured at Gettysburg after a receiving a sword blow in the face. Upon his recovery, Deloney joined his old units just a few months later and was again wounded, this time at Jack's Shop, Virginia. In this skirmish, General Jeb Stuart was surrounded by Union forces and managed to break through back to Confederate lines, but Col. Deloney was left on the field after being shot in the leg. Captured by Union forces, he was brought to a hospital in Washington, D.C., but died of his injuries just a few days later, most likely due to infection. His remains were brought back to Georgia, and buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens, where he was originally from. His gravestone was paid for by his former comrades after the end of the war. <br /><br /><address>Citations: HMdb.org, The Historical Marker Place; Battle of Jack’s Shop http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=22759312; Find A Grave- Col W.
