The projected publication dates for our quarterlies are March (cutoff date to receive
material February 1); June (cutoff date to receive material May 1); September (cutoff
date to receive material August 1); December (cutoff date to receive material November 1).
The cutoff date for our next issue is May 1, 2013. Please see that all genealogical
material you wish to have published reaches us by that date. We especially would like
to publish your ancestor charts and your family histories. This is an excellent way to let
other researchers know what families you are related to.

President’s Message
March 2013
I
n recent years our Society has been transformed from an organization doing book
writing, researching, and printing into an organization providing hands-on assistance
to researchers, providing upgraded systems and materials. It is now easier to do
research and our award-winning web site provides download opportunities free to
members. We are not your father’s Society!
This progress has only happened because a very few extremely dedicated and talented
people have devoted an abnormal amount of time and effort by assuming specific
pieces of the program and made it happen.
In my message in the last quarterly, I announced the officer and committee chairs for
this year and the list contained mostly names of the same people who had “gotten us to
where we are.” Since that writing, illness has taken its toll on the organization. Frank
McKenzie (who led us through the creation, establishment and implementing of the
website) is no longer able to function as Web Manager. Linda Mears’ illness demands
that she give up the Book Manager task.
At first, the Board was devastated when these two VIPs needed replacing. But others
quickly stepped up to plug the hole in the dam. So, here’s the lineup (re-shuffle of the
deck chairs) that will maintain the functions of your Society in a very stable position:
President – Donald L. Levans
Vice President – Open (The Board is currently handling programs)
Recording/Corresponding Secretary – Open (Carol Ferling will handle until someone
steps up)
Treasurer – Betty Jo Parsons
Quarterly Editor – Betty Jo Parsons
Library Coordinator – Carol Ferling
Assistant Library Coordinator – Lynne Johnson
Volunteer Coordinator – Pat Williams
Book Manager – Sue Coleman
Interim Web Manager – Carolyn Scherm
Interim Backup Web Manager – Frank McKenzie
Electronic Media Board Chair – Position eliminated, the Board will administer.
Delegate to the Federation of Genealogical Societies – Martha Stapler
Publicity – Bill Maddox
A huge positive in this listing is that Lynne, Pat, Martha and Sue have assumed specific
tasks. This brings more members into the function of the Society. Movement like this
spreads the load and protects the future of the organization. You will note that we have
two important officer openings that we pray will soon be filled. Also note that Carolyn is
Interim Web Manager. The Board is earnestly searching (inside and outside the
Society) for a Web Manager. If you know of a possibility please let us know.

Negro Killed. Saturday evening last about dark, Crees Combs (white) got into a
difficulty with manse Newell, (col.) and cut him in the side, of which wound Newell died
in a few minutes. The instrument used was a common pocket knife, the blade of which
penetrated his heart producing almost instant death. Combs was arraigned on Monday
before a Magistrate’s Court, but his counsel waiving the usual preliminary trial before
the Magistrate, the accused was committed under warrant to stand his trial before the
Superior Court.
As the case will undergo a rigid investigation before that tribunal, we deem it
unnecessary to comment upon the guilt or innocence of the parties concerned. We will
say, however, that the foul fiend Alcohol, had everything to do with this lamentable
affair. Newnan Herald

Our Atlanta Letter.
Editor Times. There was a negro by the name of George Henson whipped to death on
the Georgia Western Rail road near the city yesterday. He had been sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment at the last term of Fulton Superior Court for an attempt to
commit a rape upon a white woman. His Counsel moved for a new trial and though the
motion was overruled some of the cumulative evidence as to the exceedingly bad
character of the woman in question had the effect of reducing his term fifteen years. He
was sent a short time ago to Grant Alexander & Co., and yesterday lost his life. He was
buried before the Coroner knew anything of his death but was afterwards exhumed and
this morning an inquest was held over his body. The Coroner’s Jury found that “he
came to his death from blows inflicted by some person or persons to them unknown.” A
Mr. Ivy has been arrested and will undergo a preliminary trial tomorrow morning on the
10
charge of murder. The whole affair seems to be shrouded in mystery.

A Relic of the War. A soldier in the Confederate army from Florida by the name of
William P. Moseley Jun., while on a march through this county in 1864, was taken sick
and stopped at the house of Squire George Sharp, a few miles north of here, for the
purpose of recruiting. When he left, he forgot his Bible, in the leaves of which was a
letter from his mother. Squire Sharp has made an effort since the war, to find out the
whereabouts of the soldier, if living, or any of his relatives, but so far has failed, so that
he might return the Bible, which would no doubt be highly prized.
The following is the letter of the mother. Though it breathes a pure and lofty patriotism,
which would have reflected credit upon a Spartan mother, and in it is found such
precepts of morality as only can emanate from a Christian woman.
My Dear Son – You have volunteered to fight the battles of your country. Your country
has called and you have responded to that call. Allow me now, as one feeling a deep
and abiding interest in your present as well as your future welfare to give you probably
the last advice that I may ever be permitted to give. First my dear boy, be sober, be
moral, be brave, be attentive to your duties as a soldier, obeying superiors. Take
special care of your health and character, act all the while as though you expected to
return to home and friends again. Never allow the good opinion your mother, friends
and acquaintances have heretofore entertained of you, to be forfeited. A soldier’s life is
a rough and rugged one. It is a life that is beset with snares on every side. Let me
caution you particularly against being led out of the path of rectitude by corrupt bad
men, for such you will necessarily meet with, and must necessarily associate with to
some extent. But you can always treat such characters civilly and gain their good will
without a close association. I desire my dear boy, that you will read and treasure up the
sacred book that I present you with. It is the word of God. To him we must look for
protection. We must reverence Him, for to Him we owe every thing that we are or every
blessing that we may possess. And lastly my son, if we should be so unfortunate as not
to be allowed the pleasure of meeting on this earth, by putting our trust in that God who
doeth all things well, we shall meet in heaven that place of rest and happiness that is
promised to all who know God and keep his commandments. I will close by requesting
you to read your Bible and all other useful books whenever you may have an
opportunity. I desire you may gain knowledge, and should you be spared to come home
again, let not my long and cherished hopes be blasted. I will now bid you an
affectionate farewell, with an assurance that you shall have an affectionate mother and
father’s prayers for your present as well as your future welfare.
From your mother, Lydia E. Mosely, Madison, Fla., July 5th, 1861.

Come Back – Mr. J. J. Thomasson, one of our young men who went West last winter,
returned to this place on last Wednesday. He says that there is no country like Georgia
after all. We welcome him back to his native heath, and now that he has recovered
from his western fever, we hope that he will settle down permanently in our midst.
Personal – We had the pleasure of seeing in our town last Saturday evening Mr. J. A.
Anderson, our interesting Atlanta correspondent, under the initials, “J. A. A.” Mr. A. was
on his way to Cleburne county, Alabama, to visit his mother.
Death of an Aged Citizen – Died on the 31st of July, at his residence in this county, Mr.
W. A. Taylor, aged seventy five years. Mr. T. lived thirty eight years in this county, and
was respected and honored by his neighbors and friends as an upright citizen and truly
good man.
Death – We regret to learn that Mrs. Fletcher, wife of Richard Fletcher, died at his
residence, near Chapel street, in this city, yesterday. The deceased was near 63 years
of age. Her bereaved husband and herself had reared a large family of intelligent
children, who now fill useful and honorable positions in society. They formerly lived in
Carrollton, Ga. Their many friends here and there will regret to hear of her death.

Public Cemetery. One of the great needs of Carrollton, at this time, is a public
cemetery. The time has come when we are really obliged to have one, as the only
burial ground in the town (that of the M.E. Church) is filled up. As every citizen of the
place is interested in this thing, we think the town council should take this matter in
hand, and after having selected a suitable place, through a committee, buy it for a
cemetery. It should consist of at least ten acres of ground and be accessible to town.
This is a matter in which the council has full jurisdiction and should be attended to at
once. The care and respect shown to the dead is looked upon as one of the tests of the
refinement and culture of a people.
Public Debate. We have the pleasure of announcing to the public that the Carrollton
Debating Society will entertain us with another public debate on Friday, the 5th of
September. The question will be, “Is intemperance a greater evil to mankind than war?”

Two Desperadoes (copied from the Atlanta Herald). A pair of brothers on the outlaw –
wild doings in Haralson County.
Douglasville, Ga., Aug. 21, 1873. During the last week our quiet little community has
been greatly excited. First of last week two brothers named James and Robert Seals,
attacked an old man, a miller, at Geo. Stewart’s mill. One night they went to his house
and called him, and when they thought he was directly in front of the door, fired three
shots at him through the door, but failed to do doubtless their intention, viz., to kill the
old man. Next day the bailiff, D. H. Hollis, went and arrested one of the parties, R’t.
Seals, and started forthwith to the Justice with him, when the other brother, James
Seals, appeared upon his horse and ordered the posse to release his brother. This they
politely refused to do, when he dismounted and fired upon them – the posse returned
the fire, but failed to hit him and his brother struggled and freed himself. They then in
company made several threats (i.e. threatened their lives) against certain parties in the
neighborhood. On Thursday the entire community almost rose en masse to arrest
them, knowing them to be desperadoes of the worst kind. On Saturday the posse in
charge of a bailiff followed them to Drake Town, in Haralson county, where they met
the elder Seals (James), who, when he saw them, threw himself off his horse and
prepared for fight, but the posse began the same preparation, when he turned and ran.
The posse then fired upon him some fifteen or twenty shots, but failed to hit him,
except with four buckshot, which did not stop his flight. They then went on six miles and
captured the other, who is now lodged in Campbell county jail awaiting his trial. The
other, it is thought, is still dodging through the settlement.
They are both armed desperadoes, and it is rumored that Robert is a fugitive from
North Carolina for the offense of murder.
Today Mr. William Brown was severely stabbed by a young man, in fact a mere boy,
named Watson. We do not think he is fatally injured. He was stabbed in the breast,
also had his right hand severely cut.
Our friend, James R. Ellis, has returned home after four weeks absence in Carroll
county. He speaks of that county in very flattering terms and thinks it will be one of the
best sections in the State. The [railroad] track is being laid beyond Whitesburg in a
17
hurry, and it is expected the cars will run into Carrollton by the first of November.
Griffin News
Our trip to Carrollton. On Tuesday morning of last week, in company with Mr. T. Y.
Higgins of this place, and Mr. A. J. Gibson, of Griffin, Ga., we started bright and early
for Carrollton, which place we reached about five o’clock in the afternoon.
Nothing of especial interest occurred on the way. The crops looked splendidly, and
were not suffering as badly for rain, as the crops in this section.
Carrollton is growing rapidly, and bids fair to become a town of considerable note ere
the lapse of many years. The people regard the completion of the S.G. & N.A.R.R. to
that point, as the harbinger of unprecedented success, and therefore anxiously await
the shrill whistle of the iron horse in their midst.
Among the acquaintances we formed are the following named gentlemen, who will
please accept our thanks for favors shown us: Mr. Isaac Sawtell, Mr. John Tanner, Mr.
H. T. McGee, Mr. Gus Morgan Mr. Wat Wells.
We also had the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of Mr. Sharpe, the spicy editor
of the Carroll County Times, one of the newsiest country papers in the State, whom we
found to be an urbane, obliging and good looking gentleman.
On our return from Carrollton, we came by the old and time-honored town of Villa Rica,
and to our surprise, found that considerable business was being done there. At this
point we met our old townsman, Dr. G. W. Strickland, who we are happy to state hath
taken unto himself a wife, and is doing finely. Mr. Billy Candler, whose acquaintance we
made at this place, also, we found to be an intelligent and clever gentleman. He is
engaged in the mercantile business, and informed us that he was doing splendidly.
Leaving Villa Rica, we turned our mu-els [sic] homeward, which place, we will state for
the benefit of a few anxious friends, we reached in perfect safety.

Rolling Stores
In the 1930s, ‘40s and even into the ‘50s, proprietors of country stores used peddling trucks to
reach more customers. These “rolling stores” were a familiar sight in those days. The following is
a first person account by James C. Cox as told to Mignon Wessinger.
M
y grandfather, E. J. Wessinger, Sr. had a small country store in the Tyus
community. During those years, one of his sons, Lon Wessinger, drove the
peddling truck that carried goods to folks who couldn’t make it in to the store.
Granddaddy’s peddling truck was his farm truck with a modification that fit into the bed
and could be lifted off with a chain and pulley when it was needed for farm work.
Essentially, the modification was a large box with hinged sides that opened to shelving.
Granddaddy covered it with tin and filled the seams with tar to waterproof it.
As a young boy, I always liked going on the peddling route with Lon, nicknamed Rip,
because it was much easier than working on the farm with Granddaddy! I enjoyed
seeing the countryside and meeting all the people. Later on, after Rip took over the
business from Granddaddy, the truck was more along the lines of the type truck an
electrician might use, with doors that opened on the sides of the enclosed body.
Even after Rip moved to Carrollton and opened a grocery store there, he had the truck
running to more isolated areas of the county. By that time, Rip’s younger brother, E. J.
Jr., had returned home from World War II so he drove the peddling truck and also
worked as a clerk in the store.
Most of the inventory consisted of necessities people were unable to make or produce
for themselves. We routinely used the barter system for payment, so we would take
eggs, milk, or even chickens in trade. There were two large vats, more like garbage
cans with lids that could be fastened, to transport what we took in trade. Or we might
use a number two washtub. There were times Rip would come home with thirty or forty
chickens in wooden coops that he secured to the top of the truck.
Whether it was in the very early years or later on, the primary consideration was always
space. Given the dimensions of Granddaddy’s truck, there was barely 96 square feet
available. Flour, most of it originating in Oklahoma or Texas, was sold in 50 lb. bags.
The flour came in cotton sacks that would later be used to make clothing.
In the days when electricity was only available to those who lived in the city, most
people used kerosene lamps. So kerosene, which sold for 10 cents a gallon, was
another item that took up valuable space on the truck. We also sold sugar, Arm and
Hammer baking soda, Calumet baking powder and some corn meal, though most
people took their corn to the mill to be ground for meal.
Sewing notions such as thread, needles, and shoe laces were sold from the truck as
well. However, if a woman wanted something in particular—several yards of material or
lace for instance—she would make a special request and we would bring it next time
we ran the route. There was also seasonal inventory, for instance straw hats in the
summertime.
20
We sold Octagon Soap for washing clothes and Ivory Soap for bathing. We also sold
Stanback headache powders, BC Powders, St. Joseph aspirin, and Watkins liniment.
Penny candies in horehound, clove, and peppermint flavors were favorites with the
children. School supplies, Blue Horse notebooks and #2 pencils, were part of the
inventory as were cans of Double Q salmon.
Tobacco products were also a big seller. Rose was a brand of sweet snuff, while
Bruton and Buttercup were stronger. Brands of canned tobacco included Prince Albert
and Sir Walter Raleigh. Tobacco also came in twist form which made it easy to just
pinch off the amount needed. People mostly rolled their own cigarettes from loose
tobacco. R. J. Reynolds, “Run Junior Run,” was one Brand. Bugler was another one,
offering two packs of loose tobacco plus a cigarette rolling machine for a quarter. ✥

Wesley Dominick
1828 – 1914
Submitted by Donald L. Levans
U
ncle Wesley Dominick was born in 1828 most likely in Alabama because during the War
Between he States he served in Parent's Battery of the Alabama Light Artillery, where he
received the Cross of Honor.
Sometime during the late 1800s he moved to Georgia where he purchased all of land lot #80 in
the 6th district (202 ½ acres). This property was the hub of activity for a sizable farming
community by the name of Center Point. It had a cotton gin, corn mill, school and store. Over
the rest of his life, he also purchased and managed over 1900 acres of farm land between the
Haralson County line and Carrollton.
On November 16, 1903, Wesley deeded one acre from this lot to the Center Point Methodist
Episcopal Church. This Church at this time moved from a building located approximately two
miles north at the Haralson County line. That Church was called County Line ME Church, also
located on land that had been owned by Wesley.
In addition to owning all of lot #80, the deed books of Carroll County reveal that he also owned
at least part of 41 other land lots lying between the Haralson county line to the intersection of
Center Point Road with Highway 113 near Carrollton. Between 1900 and 1914, deed records
show that he sold 622 acres from these properties to 21 different people.
Wesley never married. He had two sisters to precede him in death—Unicy Dominick Drewery
and Jane Dominick Williams. Unicy and Jane, along with Jane's husband, L. L. Williams, were
buried in a wrought iron enclosed gravesite at County Line cemetery on the Haralson and
Carroll county line just north of Center Point on Levans Road. Uncle Wesley joined them there
at his death. Unicy had two daughters, Ophelia Drewery Morgan–McCullough and Lee Drewery
Almon.
Ophelia was married two times and both husbands had died. When Uncle Wesley became
feeble she moved in with him to care for him. Later her daughter Ruey and husband Zack
Levans would join her in that effort.
Following Wesley’s death in 1914 and extending up until 1922, W. A. Almon (Lee's husband)
and Ophelia acted as administrators in the sale of 751 acres from various land lots previously
owned by Wesley. The north half of lot #80 (101 ¼ acres) was given to Ophelia and the south
half to Lee and W. A. Almon. The south half contained all the commercial buildings at Center
Point (cotton gin, grist mill and store), and the north half contained Wesley's fine southern
home. The Almons eventually sold all but about two acres of their half. Ophelia gave her half to
Ruey's husband Zack (following Ruey's death in 1927). Zack then passed it entirely to his son
Cecil Levans, and Cecil on the his son Jerry and daughter Judy Levans Furr.
Wesley purchased the southwest 50 acres of lot #81 (just north of lot #80) from J. W. Stovall in
1904. Sam McGukin bought it from him in 1909. Granddaddy Zack Levans then purchased it in
1913. This 50 acres eventually passed on to Donald Levans.
When Zack received the 101 ¼ acres from lot #80 he then had a farm totaling 150 ¾ acres. ✥

1854 Carroll County Tax Digest
Abstracted by Betty Jo Parsons
Acreage was divided into four categories: First quality, second quality, third quality, and pine land. We
have combined all of these into one column called “Total acres.” The third column has been changed to
“Poor School” indicating number of children enrolled from that family. The names and numbers in District 2
were very difficult to read; we suggest you check the original Tax Digest at Neva Lomason Library,
Carrollton, if you have doubts about these numbers.
