Among the famous Georgia women, Nancy Hart is the first that rises in my memory. She lived in the time of the Revo lutionary War and her name and acts will be remembered by all readers of history. Her bravery in holding a number of British soldiers, Tories, with a gun point ed at them, makes a very inter- esting and laughable page in his tory. She is said to have been tall, red headed and crosseyed. Mary Musgrove is another who figured in the early history of Georgia. She was an Indian girl who was interpreter to General Oglethorpe. Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, a famous writer whose books have charmed thousands of people, was born in Columbus Georgia, but afterwards moved to Mobile, Ala., where she wrote many popular novels. Among those she wrote: St. Elmo, Inez, Beu lah, Vashti, and Speckled Bird. Madam Le Vert, whose “Sou venirs of Travel” made her fam ous, was born in Augusta, Geor gia, but later lived in Florida. She was a most gifted woman, gracious in manner, a delightful conversationalist speaking Eng lish, French and Spanish lluent ly. She traveled in Europe ex tensively, and possessed the artcf telling her travels in a charming way. Coming to the later day women, we have our own Mrs. W. H. Fel ton, of Cartersville, who is abreast with the most learned women of the country, She not only writes of domestic affairs and on general topics, but is a fine politician. Two women who have attracted a large share of attention, are the two first graduates of Wesley an Female College in Macon. Mrs. Benson, who has been a visi tor to our city, and the mother of Rev. W. R. Branham, and who was a Miss Flournoy. The literary works of Miss Ruthford of Athens, have placed her among the noted women of Georgia. In mentioning Athens calls to mind, Martha, the daughter of Gov. Lumpkin, for whom Atlanta, then Marthars ville, was named. There are numbers of women who have been prominently be fore the public who can’t be mentioned in this short article. Who knows but here in the seventh grade room I am face to face with some of Georgia’s fu ture famous women? NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
