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.

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."

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 professor at the University of Georgia and both her parents were members of the elite class in Georgia. Her family directly participated in the Civil War and was active in memorializing its heroes. Her uncle, T.R.R. Cobb was killed during the Civil War and her Mother aided Confederate Soldiers. Mildred’s mother, Laura Cobb Rutherford, worked to aid soldiers and veterans alike and was the founder of the Athens Ladies Memorial Association. Though she was young during the Civil War, she inherited a sense of duty to honoring the generation before her and the cause that they had fought for. Attending the Lucy Cobb Institute, Mildred graduated and began teaching in Atlanta until she returned to head the Institute as president. She was a major advocate of the school, an author of several books, and a speaker calling for the respect and fair treatment of the South’s contributions to American history. She founded the Athens chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and was the Historian-general at both the State and National level. Her dedication to the truth was often seen in the way she spoke about the historical contributions of the South before and after the Civil War.

After growing up in New York he decided to join the United Stated military. He would go on to graduate from West Point in 1842. He was 16th in his class. Just a few years later in 1846, he met a Georgia woman named Sarah Evalina Nisbet Smith. He would marry her and raise a family. He would stay apart of the United States military until April, 1st 1861. He would resign to fight for the confederacy. He probably decided to fight for the South because of his marriage to southern women. He was a civil engineer and the confederate forces would try to use that to advance their cause. He was captured in 1863 and would be a prisoner of war for 7 months, but he would be exchanged for and would become the head of the Engineer Corps for the Confederate Army. He would surrender in Athens, Georgia in 1865. He would go on to become chief engineer for a major railroad system in Georgia.
