Martha Clement has kindly transcribed this wonderful treasure for us.
She writes: "I found this old paper in an old trunk that belonged to Gerald's "Grandma Elbie", or "Maw" as we used to call her." She contacted publisher Kenneth West of The North Georgia News and received permission for us to reprint these memorials.

Many thanks to
The North Georgia News

We can understand how the North Georgia News has survived all these years if it has had editors like Kenneth West! He has been consistently generous and agreeable, and we consider him a true friend of both the GAGenWeb Project and this site.
We are grateful to both Martha and Kenneth for their many contributions and for making Union County, GA such a great place to visit in Cyberspace!
