TEBEAUVILLE.
One can hardly call Old Tebeauville
a dead town for the lights havCuever
gone out of the village although her
people moved a mile further up the
road taking the railroad station ’
them. This level plain of wlregi
and trees no longer echoes only the
voice of her people. Various sounds
such as can emanate from an up-to-
date railroad shop, that cost more
than It would have taken to buy the
whole county of Ware In the pioneer
days, keep tills old (own from being
silent. The undauntnble and Imper
ialistic railroad tracks no., cover the
site of Tebeauville.
Protected from the cold winds 6? the

J that had been almost unmolested for
ages. Tebeauville knew little of the

pentine plants had not gotten In their
pernicious work of stripping the er
mine lrom the shadows. Flowers
bloomed here the "year round and the
time seemed far off when nature would
demand her crisis. The chilled winds
of war were about to blow hut life in
this little town 'rejoiced in the sun
shine under the blue skies.
A vague unrest entered the bosom of
the sober minded men of this quiet
little village. There was an approach
ing cataclysm. The question they
often asked "Is It Just?" and the very
aid told of a coming storm. The hand
upon the wall was tracing In fiery
letters, "Brother against brother." Old
institutions crumbled and new Ideas
dazzled the men. The War Between
the States was on. Colquitt's Brigade
received several recruits from Tebeau
ville, arnoilg whom was the Honorable
Philip Coleman Pendleton. He was
engaged in planting and looking after
his splendid timbered lands when the
war came on. He raised a company
olunteers In Ware county and
upon its organization became major of
the fifteenth Georgia regiment,
participated in several Virginia cam
paigns, being in the thick of the fight
at the second battle of Manassas.
Mr. Pendleton organized the first
Sunday school In Ware county and
was ably assisted by Mr. Speer.
When they left to Join the Confederate
Army the Sunday School room was
closed. Alter a few months It was
reorganized by one whose life has been
a success and has furnished inspira
tion to many in this section, Mrs. b.
F. Williams, the wife of one of the
surgeons in the Confederate Army.
Mrs. William? lived a few miles from
Tebeauville at Sunnyside near the
Satilla river. She was a woman with
a purpose, never faltering until she
had accomplished what she designed
to do. She was not only the superin
tendent of the Sunday school but
helped to organize a union church,
composed of "Hard-Shells", Metho
dists, Baptists and Presbyterians,
that existed and flourished for years
in perfect harmony.
The distinguished Louis B. Pendle
ton was born at Tebeauville. He is
editorial writer for the "Macon Tele
graph" and is an author of note having
written a number of novels on juvenil
es Including: Bewitched; In The
Wiregrass; Klnb Tom and The Runa
ways; The Wedding Garment; The
Sons Of Ham; Carlta; In The Camp
Of The Greeks, etc. Mr. Charles Pen
dleton also of the "Macon Telegraph",
spent five years of his boyhood days at
Tebeauville. He has kindly furnished
me with Its following early history:
"Mr. Philip C. Pendldton settled In
that portion of Waycross known as
“Old Nine*', or Tebeauville, in 1887.
At thot time a Savannah company
■ headed by Mr. Jas. Screven, father of
the late John Screven, was building

time was at a point twelve or fifteen
miles east of Blackshear. The lyalng
of the iron reached Mr. Pendleton'
place avout a year later. The ol
stage road bewteen Thomsvilie and
Brunswick pssed here with a fork
running to Burnt Fort on the Satilla
River. There was a post office this
place known as "Yankee Town.*

War cross, Georgia* t villa.’ The western terminus for the
'coaches, and they had at this place of
relay stable: but all this passed away
with the coming of the railroad, and
Screven nnmed the station "Pendle
ton." Mr. Pendleton took the first
train to Savannah and had It changed
to Tebeauville, after Ills father-ln-ladw
Capt. F. E. Teheau, of cue of the old
Savannah families.
“A yeat* or so later a civil engineer
came along surveying the route for
the old Brunswick and Albany road.
When he arrived at Tebeauvine,
made a side proposition to Mr. Pendle
ton to run the prospective city off in
lots and give him every alternate one,
Pendleton did not think he was
the one to deal with and told him so,
and suggested that the president of
the road come to see him about It.
The engineer went back three or four
miles, pulling up his stakes as he
went, and made a curve to miss Mr.
Pendleton’s land. If one will stand at
the crossing near Tebeau Creek ta
the heart of Waycross and look to
wards Brunswick ho can see the curve
In the road caused by this effort of
the engineer to make something on tv.e
side.
"Thus Waycross was born, aiid Te-
beauville died. Mr. Pendleton moved
to Loundcs county in 18G4.
"Tebeauville was called “Xumucr i
Nine" because in those days the Rail
road Company numbered all its sta
tions. Blackshear was Number Eight
and Glenmoro was Number 10, etc.*’ ■
While General Robert E.“Lee was
in command of the coast defenses,
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, ho
stopped for a few hours in Tebeau
ville. Many of the people who L'vt-f*
here then remember seeing this Man
of the Hour who still lives in the
hearts of the people today. Among
the citizens who resided there were
the Tebeau’s, Rippard’s, Remshart’s,
Parker's, Grovensteins’ Millers, bon-
lottes, Sweats, Smiths and Clotting-
hams. Among the first settlers of
Ware county were: William Smith,-A.
Jernagin, Wm. Drydcn, James Full-
wood, John Williams, James Sweat,
John Moore, Thomas Allman, Joseph
Dyall, P. Bryan, W. M. King, Thomas
