me casual observer would attach no
impumuucc wvmtcver to tills Utile grave
yard. which is line so many otuete in
u» tittle vlUugcw 'throughout tue state.
But it is wormy of mors than a pass
ing glance, tram the fact mat Maj.
Turpley HoK, whose mortal remains re
pose -under the sod within 'this enclo
sure, was the first settlor In Bibb coun
ty west of the Oomttlgve river. Near
tile gmvoyurd Is a targe two-story
tnl-me house, now occupied by Miss Su-
siln A. Joltusou. in tue Interior Is u
uiriow hull, and several largo rooms
twenty or twenty-live f-OL ,-buarc. This
house -was built by MaJ. Holt in the
year 1821, seventy-three years ugo. Tho
building Is in tale repair and may
list many years longer.
MaJ. Holt was 'the first representa
tive In -the Georgia legislature from
BiJbb county and introduced the bill
granting the Mulberry Street Metho
dist church -the site on whicCi It now
stands. Ho was major of a battalion
stationed at old 'Fort Hawkins in til'
Crack lndlun war.
In tlie aemetcry lie the remains of
Gen. and Mrs. William FlcwcOlen,
father mid mother of Mrs. Tarphy
Holt. There) Is no monument' over the
remains of Gen. Klewellen, but at the
head ot t'no grave of his wits stands
a Khuft bearing Itbla Inserlptlo: ,
"Sacred to the memory of Ann Flew-
cllen who. In her every relation of life,
exhibited the ltlndoet, noblest feelings
of the heart. For more tlr.m half a
century she lived an humble, consis
tent Christian in the Methodist Episco
pal chlu-eh. After a- pilgrimage of 80
years and 11 months her weary, worn
spirit sought Us home in tho paradise
of God. December 21, 1846.”
Mrs. Flewellcn wax the grandmother
of the late Gen. William S. Holt, and
the greaif grandmother of Col. William
H. Kotos and Mrs. W. H. Virgin of Mu-
con.
The old Holt liomestMad Is now owned
Jointly toy Miss S. A. Johnson, who live*
on the place, and toy Capt. Robert E.
Park of Macon.
An adjoining plantation was owned
by Mr. Simon Holt, brother of tile ma
jor and father of the bite Dr. Leonid 1 !*
Holt, for many years the popular ond
beloved physician of ItolB neighborhood.
TIiIh place Is now- owned by Mrs. Lamar
L, Hoht,. Near by is Fstlrvlew, the farm
and summer homo of Mr. Elliott INtes.
Col. Redding ouco owned this land
through whom It descended to the lata
Mrs. William A. Ross. Here Is found
ono of tlie largest pejph orchards In the
tltate and great quantities ot this most
luscious of frulls aro shipped to Macon
nnd 'elsewhere every raison by Mr. Es
tes.
Further on Is the largo plantation
of Col. James W. Myrlck, only son and
only surviving child of Dr. Myrlck, ,1
tnan noted throughout his lkfo for pu
rity of character and wonderful pict'.y.
It Is relaitod of him that hr) read Ills
Bible over seven limes on his knees.
His wife wus famous for her cordial
hospltuKty nnd greet delight In practi
cal Jokes, a characteristic which lias
been Inherited by the son In a marked
degree. If 'Mr. Myrlck can find some
one to tease lie Is supremely happy. Ad
joining Ctfl. Myriads plnoe is the home
of Sirs. Martha- Bowman, the most ven
erable and bolo\e-d lady In the Holton
neighborhood. 'Her home has long been
distinguished for Its hospitality nnil
for the cordiality and courtesy of her
son. Mr. R. E. Bowman, and Ills sis
ters.
Although situated so near Macon in
and around Holton are- many bf tho
old-thno Southern homes where live
worthy sons of the noble sires who In-
hatnred this neighborhood In 'the days
of tho Old South.
