Title A name given to the resource Chester Price Adair Subject The topic of the resource Chester Price Adair Description An account of the resource Chester P Adair was a private with the U.S. Army and served with the American expeditionary forces during World War I. He contracted pneumonia while in Toule, France and died in a French hospital on September 18, 1918 at the age of 25. He was the son of James Thomas Adair and Fannie Orilla Adair and had two brothers named James Thomas and Luther Carlton. Plot WH123 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jillian Girardeau Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant ||||osm Chester Price Adair was born on November 14, 1893 in Clarke County, Georgia and died in Toule, France on September 14, 1918. Following his death, Adair’s body was sent back to his home and he is now laid to rest at the historic Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens, Georgia along with several of his family members. Chester was born to Joseph Thomas Adair, a railway engineer, and Fannie Orilla Richey Adair, a housewife, on November 14, 1893. He had two younger brothers- James Thomas and Luther Carlton. Chester was described as having a reserved and quiet disposition and was well-known and well-liked in the community. He and his family were members of the First Methodist Church and Chester had been a student at the University of Georgia, graduating with the Class of 1915. Prior to his enlistment in the military, Adair worked in the construction department of the very successful American Bell Telephone Company, occasionally paying visits to his parents in Athens. In 1917, Adair was drafted to serve in World War I as a result of the Selective Service Act. He enlisted on December 12, 1917 and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe and then to Camp Johnson in Jacksonville. From Camp Johnson, Adair was sent overseas in June 1918. Adair served with the American expeditionary forces during his time overseas. In Toule, France, Adair contracted pneumonia as a result of a major pandemic and succumbed to his illness in a French hospital on September 14, 1918, at the age of twenty-four. His father was notified by telegram soon after his son’s death. Chester’s remains could not be interred in Athens for several years, however. Many American soldiers had been buried on French soil during the war, and the French were reluctant to allow the United States to remove the bodies for transport. They viewed the removal of the deceased as grim and distasteful. The French government later issued a ban on the transport of bodies for three years, stating that they needed to focus on rebuilding after the war, which had ended about two months after Chester’s death in 1918. It is likely that Chester was interred in an American cemetery in France prior to being transported back to his home. The ban was lifted in 1920 due to pressure by Americans. Chester’s body was first sent to New York, and then back to Athens for interment. The remains arrived on the afternoon of February 25, 1921 and services were held at First Methodist Church. Adair was buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery on February 27, 1921. On May 30, 1922, an elaborate memorial ceremony was held at Oconee Hill Cemetery honoring all of the soldiers who had lost their lives during the war. The gates of the cemetery were decorated with flowers and wreaths and two American flags were unfurled, one of them being the flag that had accompanied Adair’s body back to Athens. Records state that Adair’s grave may have been left either unmarked or not properly marked for seven years after his burial. In 1928, an application for a military headstone was made in the name of the Athens Judge Horace M. Holden, and Adair’s grave was given a proper headstone. While he did not have a profound impact on the Athens community as some of those who reside at Oconee Hill, Chester Adair serves as an example of the complexity behind even the most modest gravesites at cemeteries, and the importance of telling and making available the stories of all of the deceased at Oconee.

Cunningham and the daughter of Blanton Meade and Elizabeth Ann Hill (though the initials on Clara’s tombstone say A. E. Hill, which could indicate a mistake). She was born in Oglethorpe County, Georgia and died in Aberdeen, Mississippi. Clara’s husband was a banker and planter in Aberdeen, MS, and they married in Athens on September 11, 1855 — sadly just a few months before her untimely death. Though middle child Clara lived only 23 short years, she graduated from Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, and spent time with a large family including father Blanton Meade Hill, mother Elizabeth Ann Hill, brother Alonzo Alexander Hill, sister Elizabeth McGehee Hill, sister Georgia Ann Hill, sister Augusta Hill, brother Blanton Abram Hill, and sister Susan Tabitha Hill. All of her family is buried with her in Oconee Hill Cemetery except for her youngest sister who is buried in Mississippi and Susan, whose burial location is unknown.

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. <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.

Her father was a farmer, and her mother kept house. She attended Madame Sosnowski’s school in South Carolina (Athens Banner-Herald, 04 May 1930). Eventually, her parents moved to Athens, Georgia, where she grew up as the second-eldest of three brothers and five sisters. She graduated from the Lucy Cobb Institute (Athens Banner-Herald, 04 May 1930), which was founded in 1857 by Thomas R. R. Cobb in order to provide equal education to girls in Georgia (Daily Banner). On October 5, 1875, at the age of 21, she married Robert Kearney Bloomfield (Athens Banner-Herald). Robert Bloomfield was born to a wealthy family in 1854. He was a successful businessman who co-owned Bloomfield & Sanford (Daily Banner, 23 Feb. 1882). They had three children, daughters Martha (b. 1876) and Marion (b. 1879) and son Robert (b. 1880). In 1882, Robert K. Bloomfield died of typhoid fever after a lengthy bout of illness at only 28 years old (Banner-Herald, 04 May 1930). His company was sold, becoming Nicholson, Sanford & Co. (Daily Banner, 23 Feb. 1882). Cornelia continued to raise their young children in Athens. Her eldest daughter, Martha, received little formal education. She married John E. Talmadge, Jr. and eventually moved to Summit, Ohio (1940 United States Federal Census). Marion became a teacher and lived with her mother in a rented house. Robert worked as a sailor before becoming an electrical engineer (Banner-Herald, 04 May 1930). She visited Martha in Atlanta and Robert in Florida for long periods in the decades before her death and was active in Chapter C. D. of the Emmanuel Guild (Athens Banner, 05 Dec. 1915). On May 2, 1930, Cornelia died after a period of declining health at the age of 75 (Banner-Herald, 04 May 1930). She had three grandchildren by her son, named Robert, Olivia, and Lois, who lived in Jacksonville, Florida. She was buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery. She is laid next to her husband, with whom she shares a headstone. She has a footstone marked “Mother.” The headstone is in the form of a conjoined tree stump. According to a record of Oconee Hill Cemetery, the headstone has much symbolic significance. The stump signifies her husband’s life cut short, as does the broken axe handle. The ears of corn atop the stump symbolize a productive life. The clinging ivy represents the Trinity while a lily leaf represents the promise of resurrection. https://digilab.libs.uga.edu/cemetery/files/original/d9e6bb0f8011eda09d19303f0ebb9160.pdf 6ea50ac10da9d590d2d5e4564893090c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
