This led t side trips to Mexico in 1945 and Cuba in 1947.It has stories about her courtship by several young men including her marriage to a farm boy;about sad events she overcame with developing a stronger Christian faith; and about many community services she tackled with amazing success, such as being a leader in bringing an art and history museum that moved a 348 foot long train over a bust state highway for .26 miles called Okefenokee Heritage Center (opened May 31, 1975) and Southern Forest World (opened 1981) on the amazing pine tree whose chemicals are found in over 52,000 by- products.Through the years, she visited over 36 countries including a round-the-world trip. She served as president for several local service organizations and the Woman¿s State Auxiliary of the Medical Association of Georgia.She said one of the most frightening experiences she had was killing a huge copperhead snake at age 18 while a water front counselor at a girl scout camp. She laughs as she says her most daring accomplishment was flying hundreds of feet above the water in Acapulco pulled by a rope attached to a boat.Editor Jack Williams of the Waycross Journal Herald calls it a ¿history,¿ but Mrs. Clark says that at 92 it¿s fun and challenging to put it all together.

Download or read book How to Read Churches written by Denis R. McNamara and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a must-have for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys, chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element (windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional chapters explore the architectural influence of geography, history, and various creeds, along with an illustrated timeline showing how, where, and in many cases why certain church features evolved through the centuries. There is also a useful introduction to naming each component of a church, from vaults to buttresses and transepts to apses. All entries are illustrated with period engravings and line drawings. This book will be invaluable for architecture buffs and anyone who has ever wondered why classic New England churches are white with little ornament, why Quaker meetinghouses have no altars, or why Episcopalians traditionally favored the Gothic style.

Download or read book 1864 Census for Re Organizing the Georgia Militia written by and published by Genealogical Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1864 Census for Re-organizing the Georgia Militia is a statewide census of all white males between the ages of 16 and 60 who were not at the time in the service of the Confederate States of America. Based on a law passed by the Georgia Legislature in December 1863 to provide for the protection of women, children, and invalids living at home, it is a list of some 42,000 men--many of them exempt from service--who were able to serve in local militia companies and perform such homefront duties as might be required of them. In accordance with the law, enrollment lists were drawn up by counties and within counties by militia districts. Each one of the 42,000 persons enrolled was listed by his full name, age, occupation, place of birth, and reason (if any) for his exemption from service. Sometime between 1920 and 1940 the Georgia Pension and Record Department typed up copies of these lists. Names on the typed lists, unlike most of the originals, are in alphabetical order, and it is these typed lists which form the basis of this new work by Mrs. Nancy Cornell. Checking the typed lists against the original handwritten records on microfilm in the Georgia Department of Archives & History, Mrs. Cornell was able to add some information and correct certain misspellings. She also points out that no lists were found for the counties of Burke, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Dooly, Emanuel, Irwin, Johnson, Pulaski, and Wilcox.
