Lamar Knight, 1914
Governor O B Colquitt of Texas, the present chief
magistrate of the Lone Star state, spent several years of his early boyhood in
Buena Vista, a town founded by his grandfather, David N Burkhalter. Judge Mark
H Blandford, an associate of the Supreme Court of Georgia, opened an office at
one time in Buena Vista
for the practice of law. Hon J E Sheppard of Americus
and Hon B S Miller of Columbus, two of Georgia’s most brilliant lawmakers, were
reared in Buena Vista. Former State School Commissioner W B Merritt was a
native of Marion. Hon William West of Valdosta, who on the death of senator A O
Bacon was given an ad interim appointment to fill the vacancy, was born on a
plantation in Marion. Judge William B Butt was a native of Buena Vista, where
he practiced law until just a short time before his election to the bench of the
Chattahoochee circuit. Marion County furnished three companies of infantry to
the Southern Army, Col Edgar M Butt, Captain Taylor and Captain Blandford
commanding; in addition to which a large number of volunteers went to Griffin
and joined a cavalry company, led during many fierce battles by Capt T M
Merritt. Some of the ablest lawyers in the State have practiced at the Buena
Vista Bar. It is still ably represented by a group of strong men, among whom
are Hon William D Crawford, Hon William B
Short, Hon George P Munro, Judge
John
Butt, Col Noah Butt, Col T B Rainey.
