lie was reared on his father’s
farm, and had all the experiences
of<£ farmer’s boy. llis education
wa\j obtained in the country school
house, hard by his father’s home,
and around the fireside of his
Godly parents. In his 19th or
20th year his father sent him to
boarding school at Waycross oiie
year, where he received splendid
training under Prof. Charles J.
Jenkins. It was then that he and
the editor of tlie Tribune became
acquainted and learned to appreci
ate one another. The Tribune
editor* then in the newspaper
galne.aS editor of the Waycross
Reporter. The editor and student
passed many hours of pleasant
labor together, the former assist
ing the latter in his pursuit of
knowledge.
Soon after he returned home he
professed conversion and united
with the Fussell Methodist church
at that time a flourishing congreg
ation, that worshipped in a church
building located about a half mile
south of, and on the same lot of
land, where Mr. W. T. Fussell now
resides. The pastor who received
him into the church was Rev. J.
E.‘Tboke, whose remains rest in
the little Pearson cemetery.
In;lßfs3 he was united in marri
age with Miss Levizanu Hull, a
splendid young woman of Berrien
county, Ga. ’They were blessed
with seven, children —feur sons
And three daughters —all of whom
are grown and a source of joy to
tlieirparents. The wife and child

South, for about thirty years, and
a teacher in the public schools of
South Georgia and Florida for
miSrc than twenty-five years, and
was teaching in Echols county
wh.pn he. was stricken with his last
illness. Hence it will be seen that
the greater portion of his life was
spent in the public service, trying
to lead the young in the way of
knowledge and right living.
U'hs life was as an open book,
hidden or secret about
where lie went or what We did. He

in his 59th year. His burial was
