Restored Bedingfieid Inn at Lumpkin. (PRN)
LUMPKIN, Georgia (PRN)
The Bedingfield Inn, which
has survived from the period
when Lumpkin was a frontier
town, has been restored by the
Steward County Historical
Commission. It is being
furnished throughout as it
would have been for the use of
a prosperous family and as an
inn in a relatively affluent
period, about 1840.
The Inn was built about
&and served as a family
residence as well as a stopping
place for stagecoaches and
other travelers. It was located
approximately a day’s travel
from Columbus on the north,
and Fort Gaines and Cuthbert
on the south. It provided a
convenient stopping place for
travelers between Americus
and Eufaula, Alabama to the
West. In that period, Lumpkin
was a busy frontier town and
the Inn provided a center for
commercial and community
activity.
Dr. Bedingfield, the
builder, was the first physician
in Stewart County and his son,
Dr. Samuel Bedingfield, who
grew up in the Inn, was the
first white male child born in
the County.
The unusual and
delightfully bright colors
found throughout the Inn are
close reproductions of the
original colors in all the
rooms.

Masonic Meeting
The Public or Inn Room, to
the right as you enter the
building, was the room where
the men gathered to talk
crops, exenange political views
and news, smoke and drink.
Since ladies never frequented
the Inn Room, a Ladies Parlor
was located on the same floor.
The room over the Public
or Inn Room was the
Common Room. Here cheap
accommodations were
provided for those travelers
who lacked the means to
engage a private room. These
guests often slept several to a
bed or pallet on the floor.
Since the pay for this room
was negligible, the owner felt
no obligation to provide heat.
It is the only room in the Inn
without a fireplace.
Some pieces of furniture in
the Inn were made by fine
cabinetmakers of the West
Georgia area.
The Tourist Division of the
Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade suggests a
visit to nearby Westville. The
citizens are striving to make
Westville the same type of
community it was in the
1830’s.
Westville s aim is to present
a true, living sample of the
preindustrial culture which
shapes the actions and ideals
of people who made America
great.

B Team
Wins Game
The Forsyth Co.boysß-team
opened their basketball season
on November 15 at the high
school gymnasium. The Bull
dogs played the Lumpkin Co.
Indians and were victorious by
a 50-22 score. Leading the
Bulldogs in scoring was Tommy
Trammel with a total of 18
points. The second high scorer
was Phil Sheridan with 8 po
ints. Steve Shoemake was the
team rebounding leader with
10 rebounds. The Bulldogs are
a very young team but they
showed up well in the opener,
playing an outstanding defen
sive game. In particular Ra
leigh Phillips did an exceptional
job on defense picking up six
stolen balls on the Forsyth
zone press.
Every B-teamer played in
what amounted to a team vic
tory. Many new faces were
seen in Forsyth Co. uniforms
and these young men did a fine
job.
Keith Holbrook, Buddy Cas
tleberry, Homer Chadwick, De
nnis Anderson, Eddie Floyd,
and Deval Grindle stepped into
give the regulars a rest and
played like veterans them
selves.
The Forsyth B- team plays
next at South Hall High School
on Friday, November 21, at
5:00. All home games begin
immediately following the For
syth girls B-team who play at

Bagby said that the openings

occurred.
