In the late 70’s and early 80’s Major Fickling was be ing honored in his home county and state at large for his out standing service as a Confederate soldier. Those too, were the days when such men as Alfred II. Col quitt, Alexander H. Stephens, Hen ry D. McDaniel, and last but by no means least, John B. Gordon were Governor of Georgia and Major Fickling enjoyed their warmest friendship and at times visits to his hospitable home in the northern section of ,the county and where too, he was the community’s larg est land owner. He was a great churchman and Mason . . .
