Notes for RICHARD LEWIS BRITT:
He was 16 years old when he joined the Army.
He was a scout for Robert E. Lee.
He owned his own farm.
After he was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse, he walked home to Jackson Gap and took a friend who had been wounded in the head. When they got home, he and his family nursed the man until he was well, then they gave him what little extra money they had to get him home.
The Yankees allowed one man in the community to keep their weapons and he kept his Winchester Rifle to kill snakes, bears, etc., and otherwise protect the area.
When he was on his way home, he met a Union soldier who had been a scout also, they became friends and exchanged knives. The knife that Grandpa Britt got was like a Bowie knife with pearl handles. We don't know who got the rifle or the knife.
The inscription on his tombstone:
R.L. Britt
April 19, 1834
Oct 29, 1914
"A Confederate Veteran Soldier"
" Remember me when you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now Soon you may be
Prepare for death and follow me."
All the sisters and L. B. Britt are buried in the Britt family cemetery, which is located on a dirt road not far from Rock Springs Church in Tallapoosa Alabama. Becky has pictures of most of the tombstones. John W. Britt is buried in Rock Springs close to him.
Made a wooden chest that looked like a hope chest. He made it with his knife and there are no nails in it. The edges are dovetailed and inside there is a small tray where they kept their valuables. During the war, he buried it with their jewelry and seeds in it so the Yankees couldn't get them. Bessie Lifsey has the chest.

When Papa and Mama were married, both sets of parents insisted they move from Jackson Gap, as it was a very isolated area and a very poor place to raise a family. They moved to Columbus, Ga. where their infant son Marion died, then they moved to Cedartown in 1904.
He was a Mason.
His nephew Felix Hood, lived with them and is listed on the 1900 census with them.
He did a lot of work on the Turntable located in Cedartown. The turntable is now located at the Tennessee Valley Train Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee where it was moved in the mid '80's. We have pictures of the turntable in Chattanooga.
He loved gardening and children.
TOLD TO CRIS SURLS BY JOE P SURLS SR
"Shorty" Suls, (William Pleas), was a coach for Masonic work. When they advance from one step to another, there is a lot of memory work involved. Sometimes they would practice at the fire station, or the filling station, or somewhere they could be away from everyone, but their favorite place to practice was the cemetery, because they could see if anyone was coming and quit talking. On this particular evening, Shorty was there with several of the candidates and they were up on the hill overlooking the railroad tracks. They were squatting or kneeling down in a circle going over the work. A lady who was one of Shorty's neighbors on Broad St. was looking over the tracks and saw them. She couldn't tell what they were doing but thought they were throwing dice and gambling. She called the sheriff and told him that Shorty and some others were in the cemetery gambling. He told her he would take care of it. He went to the cemetery and when he found out what they were doing, as he was a Mason himself, he joined them. When the lady saw him squatting down and joining them she really got upset, so she called the Mayor and told him that Shorty Surls, the Sheriff, and some others were over in the cemetery gambling. She thought it was disgraceful and he'd better do something about it. He told her he would personally take care of it. It so happened that the Mayor was also a Mason, so when he got there, he joined them. After they finished going over the step, they all went over to the lady's house and explained to her and apologized to her for upsetting her. She was much relieved to find out that Shorty was not a gambler after all.

Notes for CORA LEE SURLS:
Joe's sister. She was born in Jackson Gap, Alabama in the same house that Papa Surls was born in. When she was born, Epsie only had one name picked out for her-Cora, Grandpa Britt asked her if it would be allright to name her for "The greatest man he ever knew- Robert E. Lee", so that is how she was named Cora Lee Surls.
She lived in Columbus till she was about 2 years old. Mama was sick and couldn't take up much time with her. There were some high school boys that took her out for "walks" each day and they taught her how to walk.
She married Willard Allen "Bill" Klein on _______. She met him in Atlanta just after he got out of the army. He was a railroad man and worked for the Santa Fe, Chicago Burlington and Quincy, and Great Northern Railroads. They went to Galesburg, Ill to get married. They lived in Sheridan, Wyoming, Edgemont , South Dakota, Casper, Wyoming, Gillette, Wyoming, Fort Madison, Iowa, Chicago, Illinoise, and Kansas City, Kansas. They lifed in hotels because they didn't stay in one town long enough to get an apartment. Her best friend in Edgemont, Mabel, went for an interview for a job in a hotel, and she was very shy, and Cora answered most of the questions for her, when the man asked when she could start work, Cora answered that Mabel could start the next day. He said, no, when can YOU start work? Cora said she couldn't , she was going to be leaving town. Mabel did not get the job. She did get a job in another hotel in Edgemont as a receptionist, and even though Cora had never done that type work , she trained her for the job. There was a fire in the hotel in Edgemont and although there wasn't much damage donem Cora had to send her clothes out to be cleaned. Uncle Bill called her and told her to be ready to leave the next day, but she couldn't because of the clothes. She had a job at the Elk's club and told him she just couldn't tell the man she was quitting after such a short time, so Bill went and told him for her. When Mama Surls got sick, she came home to help take care of her. She and Bill separated and she stayed in Cedartown. When JW sold his bakery and moved to Smyrna, Georgia, she and Mamie moved there also, to a house on Love Street. After Mamie died, she moved in with JW and Mildred.
She has never read "Gone With The Wind", but she wrote a book report for Virginia that she had to hve to graduate, she passed with a good grade.
She is tall, with dark hair and eyes. She likes to read and crochet. She worked in a dry cleaners, for Gillette, and in Barnett's Bakery.
The family's pet name for her is "CoCo".

INFORMATION FROM BECKY VESSELL AS TOLD TO HER BY JOE P SURLS SR
When I was little, Daddy used to tell me stories of when he was little, and Papa and Mama would take them on the train over to Alabama to see their grandparents. He spoke of Grandpa Britt who was tall and quiet, with ice-blue eyes. Daddy said that all the cousins would be running around yelling and cutting up. The women would try to make them behave, but as with most kids, they ignored them. He said Grandpa Britt would sit on the porch and watch them awhile, and then when they finally got out of hand, he would get up, walk down the steps and just LOOK at them. IMMEDIATELY everyone would stop, shut up, and start behaving. Daddy said he never remembered Grandpa Britt striking anyone, that just seeing him stare at you with those ice-blue eyes was enough. I asked him why he had that effect when all the kids knew he wouldn't hurt them? He thought a minute, and said he wasn't really sure, except that you knew you wanted that man to think well of you, and more than anything else, you didn't want him mad at you. He said the girls wore feed sacks with only slits cut in the sides and top for arms and neck, maybe a rope for a belt, and no underwear, and of course, no shoes. He said Uncle Marion would usually take the older boys squirrel hunting for stew for supper, but the middle group of kids would run off in the woods to go "flying". When I asked him what he meant by going "flying", Daddy just laughed and with a sparkle in his eye, he told me about "flying." He said what you did was look for a sapling that was not too big, but not too small. Then, several of the kids would climb up the tree to the top, then another would climb up, then another, and so on until the tree was weighted down at the top and bent over to the ground. The kids on the ground would grab hold of the tree and help hold it down while the foolhardy soul who was to "fly" would grab hold of the tree trunk and hold on with a bear hug. The others would let go and POW! Of course, the tree would flip back and forth before it would finally straighten out and whoever was "flying" looked a lot like Olive Oyle in the cartoons, but it sure was fun!! And Daddy would laught until tears rolled down his cheeks. I, of course, never really believed him, because I could never quite see my Daddy pulling such a stunt, he was always so very careful of our safety, he would certainly never let any of us do anything like that. Then Mother, Mildred, Cora, Gene and I went to Alabama, to Jackson Gap, in search of family history. We went to Rock Springs Church and cemetery, and in an old house behind the cemetery, we met Jessie Milner Vines, Aunt Lula's daughter. She was so excited to see us, she grabbed me by the arm and said over and over, "Oh, you're Joe P's daughter! Oh, you're Joe P's daughter!" Then she grinned and said "I well remember him visiting, and we'd all go "a'flying" in the trees!" Well, it's a good thing I didn't have false teeth, because I'd have dropped them then and there. When we got home and I told Daddy about it, he just laughed and said, "Of course we did! Would I tell you a lie?", and laughed some more.

Becky- Both,
DADDY- Well, the hunting horn was used by my Great grandfather Zimri Roberts, to hunt and call in the hunting dogs with, to signal from one hunter to another, and to signal from one farm to another in case there was some kind of emergency. They had an agreement as to how many blasts of the hunting horn that would denote a fire, rabid dog, posinous snake, or somebody that was ill or injured, and they could come and help each other. That was the horn that dates back in the early 1800's.
Becky- That's the bone colored one?
Daddy- That's the hunting horn. Now the powder charger, there's two powder chargers. One is made out of pewter that was used in the War of the Revolution by some of Zimri Roberts' ancestors. That was used to charge the muzzle loading rifles that were used to fight the British in the War of The Revolution in 1776, and the other powder charger is cut and sized from a deer antler that was used in a hunting rifle and was also used in a muzzle loading rifle that was used in the War Between the States 1861-1865. Now, who used it in the War Between the States, I don't know whether it was brother George or brother Will, but one of them used it to load his rifle in the War Between the States, and that is called a "powder charger" and it measured the amount of powder that went into the rifle to make the muzzle loading rifle shoot.
Becky- That's the one that looks like a deer antler?
Daddy- Made from a deer antler with a rawhide thong on it.
Becky- Tell me about the Masonic Ring you handmade for your Daddy.
Daddy- Well, the Atlantic Coastline Railroad scraped some locomotives that were obsolete, and on these locomotives that were to be scrapped was a instrument called a dynamo, that was operated by steam and the steam boiler. Inside this dynamo was a piece of Mormel Steel, which is very much like white gold and is very dense like platinum, and it's impervious to acids and the things that corrode ordinary metal. And at that time, which was in the early 1900's, it was a new metal that was being used for practical purposes. It had qualities that were good enough for jewelry and ornamental work. And so, Ruffin made the ring by hand for Daddy and gave it to my Daddy and he kept it and highly prized it for years and years, up until now and I got from Mamie and Mamie had kept it through until after her death and Mildred gave it to me. And I in turn gave it to Cris.
Becky- What about the ring you made your Mother?
Daddy- Well, I made it out of silver coin. When I was a young boy, it was fashionable to make jewelry for people that you liked and loved, so I wanted to make my Mother a ring, so I made her one by beating it out of a silver coin by hand and gave it to her.
Becky- Tell me about the "Pirate Pistol." Where did it come from?
Daddy- Well, I had a friend in Rockmart, Georgia that about 30 years ago that I helped him in his business a little bit. I gave him some advice and told him how to do some things that he didn't know about. And so he came by that pistol from an old lady that liked him and he had done her a favor and disposed of an old automobile for her and she told him he could have that old muzzle loading pistol, horse pistol, or boarding pistol that was used on some Navy ships if he wanted it. He told her he didn't want it, but he'd get it for me. So he bought it from the old lady for fifteen dollars and sold it to me for fifteen dollars. The gun is of a manufacture about 1835 and it has a barrel on it similar to a shotgun and it can shoot a handful of slugs or bolts, nuts, or rocks or whatever you want to pour in it and it has a spreading effect of whatever you want to shoot in it. That's why they used it on a horse so you'd be sure of hitting what you were shooting at. Or as a boarding pistol off of a ship to make sure you could shoot good every time you climbed up on a ship and hit them.
Becky- Tell me about the Grandmother Clock.
Daddy- Well, that clock was smuggled into the state of Alabama about 1824. At that time to raise taxes to operate the various government agencies and so forth and pay salaries and all that sort of thing, they placed heavy taxes on clocks which were begining to be a luxury item. So, the clockmakers up in Connecticut had the New England states in order to sell their merchandise, they resorted to smuggling. And they smuggled clocks in from up in the east in Alabama and some of the southeastern states to avoid paying the heavy tax. This clock was smuggled into Alabama and sold for at that time was twentyfour dollars, chich was a real fortune at that time. Twentyfour dollars was a magnificent sum, and that;s what the clock cost. It was smuggled into the State of Alabama about 1824.
Becky- Well, who bought it?
Daddy- I don't know who bought it. I imagine Zimri Robert's family, some member of that family bought it, but my Grandmother told me the story of it, that's what she told me.
Becky- Who was it that was the Indian Fighter?
Daddy- Well, the applications for pensions from the people that fought in the Indian Wars were Zimri Roberts and C N Freeman and they applied for pensions. Now, the others, I don't know who they were. But you do have the applications for their pensions.
Becky- C N Freeman fought in the Indian Wars?
Daddy- Yes.
Becky- Now tell me about when you were little and going to Alabama on the train to see your Grandfather Britt.
Daddy- What do you mean?
Becky- When you "played in the trees."
Daddy- Oh well, we went to Alabama to visit my Grandaddy Britt when he was sick. We rode on a pass on the Central of Georgia Railroad. We didn't go direct, because we had passes that carried us to Montgomery and then to Alexander City, and Dadeville and to Jackson Gap. One of the trains we rode on was the Cherokee Limited, a luxury passenger train operated by the Central of Georgia. In order to get on the train when we left, Jackson Gap was a flag stop and my Daddy, being a railroad man, he flagged the train at Jackson Gap and we got on the train there. When the train came around the curve, it was late in the evening and it had an enormous steam locomotive with high driving wheels, and the engineer say my Daddy flag him. When he put on the brakes, and the sparks from the brakes on the wheels was like and electric grinding wheel, throwing off big showers of sparks and it was like a Fourth of July fireworks exhibit. It scared me. I hid behind my Mama. We got on the train and came back home. On the Cherokee Limited partway.
Becky- Now tell me about your visit.
Daddy- Well it was out in the woods. They had everything that was necessary to operate a farm of about 180 acres. They had a smokehouse that had meat in it and they had "hills", where they had potatoes stored against the weather, that was built like an Indian tepee, built out of dried cornstalks and that was covered up with thick layers of earth and even though it rained on it, it wouldn't go through the cornstalks. It was perfect insulation and it kept the potatoes. They had pumpkins and cashaws and watermelon and various things kept in sand right on up to Christmas. They had a cottonseed house. They had turkeys, ducks, guineas, and a big old white mule that was very old and he was sick with old age and they gave him to me. I petted him while I was there and I owned a mule for that time. A big old white mule. They played some strange games of all kinds. They made their own bows and arrows and tipped them with rocks. They'd shoot at the chickens and different things like that. They'd throw corn cobbs at chickens and hit them and make the chickens flop around. The one I think you're talking about is the trees, being a stranger and a city boy, they wanted to play a trick on me. So, they took me out and some of the girls talked me into holding to a tree and they got a tree, climbed up and bent it over, and told me to hold onto it and wrap my legs around it. I did and they turned it aloose and the tree whipped me back and forth and they thought that was great fun. I thought it was too, when they got somebody else on it. It wasn't funny when I was on it., cause I didn't know if I was going to land in the next county or in the Tallapoosa River, five miles distant. But it was a big adventure. And then they had mules they were not being used because Grandpa was sick, we had to take the mules to water them, so they'd get a sting of them mules, each boy and girl would get on a mule and ride it to the spring and water them. I was on a mule and he stepped on a yellowjacket. The yellowjacket stung him on the ear, and I had a time getting that mule stopped before he got to the spring. He jolted me up pretty good. Mules are not easy to ride, they have a gait all their own, their back and bodies are built different from a horse. They're not too comfortable to ride on bareback. If one has got a hornet or a yellowjacket in his ear, why, he's hard to control. But we had fun. We dug up sugar cane that they had stored. Blue Ribbon sugar cane, and chewed that. But it was great. My Uncle took me squirrel hunting one morning, right at daybreak and shot squirrels and then on the way home he carried me to some of the neighbors to introduce me to them. He stopped in front of their house and waited a good ways our and hollered "hello". They cane out and this man came out first and my Uncle told him that he wanted him to come down there and see my Daddy's boy. He called him "Shorty." He said come and see "Shorty's" youngest boy. So he came out and he called his wife and they were backwoods people, so he came out and his wife came out behind him and stood about three or four feet behind him, and the two girls came out and stood behind them. The ground was spewed up about three inches in ice on the ground and they were all barefooted. They stood there and talked and then introduced me to all of them. The two girls were about twelve and fifteen years old. They only had one garment and it was made like a pillowcase. It had three holes cut in the top of it. One for the head and one for each arm. You could easily see that was the only garment they had on and they were barefooted. They had haircuts that looked like they had bowls put down over their heads and scissors run around to trim it off. But they were well fed and healthy looking. These people were prominent people, leaders in the community, but that's how they lived. My Greatgrandaddy had bought land from them. These people were names White. The head of the household was named Mally White. He was a well respected man in the neighborhood, people thought a great deal of him. He was friends and his family was friends to our family for generations back, but I've never seen any people like that before. It was quite an adventure to see those people. Especially the way they were dressed, how they talked, and how they acted, but they were great people. Good people.
Becky- Which Uncle was it?
Daddy- My Uncle Marion, Mamma's brother.
Becky- He was the one that lived there?
Daddy-Yes, he lived there with them. It was my Grandfather Britt's place.
Becky- Richard Lewis, right?, your Grandaddy Britt.
Daddy-That's right, Mamma's Daddy.
Becky- Tell me about him.
Daddy- Well he was the one fought in the Alabama infantry and he acted as a scout for General Robert E Lee. He wasn't a general or nothing like that. He was a scout. They called them sharpshooters. He did scouting, which was considered to be the same as a spy, and they had a rifle and a little bag like a schoolbook satchel. In that they carried what they called their "possibles." It was called a "possible bag". It had parched corn and whenever they could get it a little piece of dried side meat or other meat and nuts if they could get them. Hickory nuts, peanuts, peanuts or whatever they could get, and parched corn. And they had a belt knife and powder and shot. He went and spied on the enemy and counted them, found out how many there were, where their supplies were, what direction they were going and then reported it back to whoever was in charge of them. But the general consensus was, if you caught an enemy sharpshooter, or scout, he was considered a spy and you shot him right on the spot. Instant death. That's how they ran it and that's what he was. When he was discharged from the army, he was discharged at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia and he walked home from Appomattox, Virginia and brought one of his buddies along with him who was wounded in the side of the head. He brought him to his house and treated him and he stayed there until he got well. He went on to his house in Mississippi. And you oftentimes, hear people, say about, "oh, he's a brave man, he's got fortitude, he's got guts", and I just wondered if people really know what it is to have determination and fortitude, to be able to do that. That's not unusual with people of that sort, because we have an uncle that WALKED to the Petrified Forrest.

Notes for WILMA ELIZABETH LOWENTHAL:
She had dark brown hair, that turned grey, then white, at an early age. She was medium height and had blue eyes.
Mother's father died when she and Aunt Lillian were young. Rose traveled and remarried a man named Hezekiah_______. He was an alcoholic and after he went through her inheritence he treated her badly. Wilma and Lillian finally took it on themselves to call the police and have him thrown out of the house. Rose was not in good health and after she died Wilma and Lillian went to live with Mammaw and Taddy. Lillian married first and while Wilma was visiting her and Uncle Horace in Cedartown, she met Joe at a basketball game. They were married in Centre, Alabama on April 11, 1939. Mammaw went with them and when they returned to Atlanta they stayed awhile with her. Evidently Mammaw fully intended to stay in the same room as she had with Wilma, but Joe put his foot down and told her, "Now Mrs. Harbin, Wilma and I are married now and I'm going to sleep with her," With that he shut the door and so began 43 years of marriage.
Wilma and Lillian were brought up in the Methodist Church but when she married and they bought the house in East Point, she was baptized in the Baptist Church, First Baptist Church of East Point.
She worked for 5 years for Belk-Gallant, then worked for 27 years at Merritt's Drug Store in East Point.
She loved to travel, liked to read, sew, and crochet. She made most of Linda and Becky's clothes when they were little, and she and Cora made extensive wardrobes for the "Toni" dolls Santa brought them.
She was most happy when the family was gathered together.

Notes for JACKSON WARREN BARNETT:
History of Jackson Warren Barnett's nicknames. Adults always called him J.W. (except for Mildred who called him "Monkey"). When Bill Surls was a baby, Mildred and J. W. were staying with us. When J.W. came home from work, he would come in to see Bill and say "Hi Bo!" Bill, being small, knew that the grownups called him J.W. and so he put the two together and called him "Jaybo."
