Atlanta, Ga., September 14—
Hugh M. Dorsey, the next gover
nor of Georgia, was considered a
confirmed old bachelor before he
went to Vadlosta, Ga., and mar
ried Miss Adair Wilkinson, which
was on June 29, 1911.
Mr. Dorsey was then forty
years old and had served as best
man for most of his old college
mates. He was in great demand
for these occasions and frequently
made long trips to stand up at the
wedding of a friend. They had
about come to the conclusion that
Mr. Dorsey was determined to
die a bachelor, until he surprised
them on a day in June by follow
ing their good example. .

10, 1871, in Fayetteville, Fayette
county, the son of Rufus T. Dor
sey and Sarah Bennett Dorsey.
His father was’ then a practicing
attorney of Fayetteville, and af
terwards moved to Atlanta and
opened an office there. Later
he established the well-known
law firm of Dorsey, Brewster,
Howell & Heyman, of which
Hugh Dorsey became a member
when he graduated. Judge Dor
sey presided over the city court
of Atlanta for many years and
'was a man beloved by a host of
friends. He died in 1909. His
widow survives him, and resides
at No. 10 East Sixteenth Street,
Atlanta, Ga. ;
" Some of Hugh Dorsey’s family
connections were rather- humor

for governor. His brother, Dr.
Rufus T. Dorsey, married a
daughter of W. S. Witham, the
Atlanta banker. Mr. Witham
strongly supported Governor
Harris, but Mrs. Dorsey support

law. Hugh-Dorsey’s sister mar
ried Luther Z. Rosser, Jr., and
while he supported Mr. Dorsey
for governor, his father, Luther
Z. Rosser, Sr., was against him.
Ms. Dorsey is a girlhood friend of
Mrs. L. G. Hardman, wife of the

Dorsey or Dr. Hadman would
carry Lowndes county, their girl
hood home.
Dr. Rufus_T. Dorsey is known
to his friends as “Dutch” Dorsey
and was one of the greatest foot

Auburn uniform. Cam D. Dor
