Bagley Writing History Of Forsyth
BY CATHY PUCKETT
Staff Writer
If you think writing a book
is a simple task and it
doesn’t take more than a
typewriter and an idea,
you’re wrong, according to
Garland Bagley.
For the past nine years
Bagley has researched the
history of Forsyth County
compiling the information
into a book he hopes to see
published this year.
The retired educator was
bom and raised in Forsyth
County and attended the old
Harris Grove and Sharon
Schools, before graduating
from Berry High School and
Junior College. He earned
his teaching degree at the
University of Georgia.
His first teaching job was
as a Math and Science
teacher in Marietta at a
Junior High School. He left
teaching to accept a position
as Statistician with the
Georgia Department of
Agriculture. Returning to
teaching he taught History
at Chestatee School and later
became the school’s prin
cipal. Again he left
classroom teaching, but
stayed in the education field
as a text book supervisor
with the Georgia Depart
ment of Education. His work
was interupted by a three
year stay in the Army, but
when he returned to the
Department of Education he
related how films and audio
visual means were valuable
in teachings in the service.
After relating the impact
of films to his superiors and
selling them on the idea of
using audio-visual teachings
in the schools in Georgia, he
was given the go-ahead to
get busy with a program for
Georgia schools.
Counting his service with
the Army, teaching career
and work with the education
department, he earned
enough credit to retire with
20 years service in 1963.
Bagley admits the first
two years of retirement were
“miserable” and boring.
Looking for something of in
terest to fill the empty days
he had spent in the education
field, a cousin of his came to
the rescue. It seems his
cousin had decided to do a
family history on the Bagley
Family, and asked for his
assistance.
Becoming so interested in
researching records about
the family history led to his
interest in doing a history of
his native county, since no
one had published a history.
Bagley related that most
people in the area came
from the Carolinas, and
research information has
enlightened him about
families that came to the
area before it was even a
county. “Land was divided
in 1832 into the Cherokee Na
tion. and became part of the
state of Georgia. Before
that, the Georgia state line
stopped at the Chat
tahoochee River in 1832. The
area was considered
Cherokee County, and was
divided into 10 counties on
Dec. 3, 1832, when Forsyth
County was formed.”
Research has led Bagley
to information about the first
house located in Cumming,
and the first store. The book
will include information on
various families instrumen
tal in our county’s founding,
information about the In
dians, churches, buildings,
sites, newspapers, stores,
schools and will include over
a hundred early pictures
that relate to earlier days in
Forsyth County.
Bagley doesn’t plan to
become rich by writing a
book of history about the
county, but is more in-

However, up to 75% of all headaches can be
L related to spinal misalignment (subluxation),
s' * Although, constipation, diet, eye problems,
» sinus involvement, posture, etc. can all be causes,
a thorough chiropratic spinal evaluation should
be considered, if headaches persist. Chiropratic
spinal management, when indicated, can give
drug-free relief —not temporary symptom removal.

tion and sites preserved that
might be lost forever if it
