RICHARDSON METHODIST CHURCH.


An act of the Legislature approved December 28, 1843, pro- vided that John Henderson, Jacob Matchett, William Fussell, Woodson Willcox, Josiah Pane, William M. Kennedy and Thomas L. Willcox be and they are hereby declared to be a body corporate under the name and style of the trustees of the Richardson Methodist Episcopal Camp Ground in Irwin County, Georgia. This camp ground was located upon what is now the lands of W. M. Fussell upon land lot number thirty- two in the fourth district of Irwin County, Georgia.


UNION METHODIST CHURCH.


The Union Methodist Church was one of the old churches of the county ; it was on the south side of Sturgeon Creek in the fourth district of originally Irwin County. The cemetery is very old, the church has been moved. William Fussell, one of the original settlers of the county was buried there in 1861, Mr. Fussell was the grandfather of W. B. (Tuggin Fussell's grandfather). There are many old graves there, but no signs of headboards or stones to tell the names.

GILDER'S BLUFF.


This is a bluff on the Ocmulgee River, located upon lands of Son A. Fussell in the fourth district of originally Irwin County, also the old Sloan burying ground and it is supposed that William Sloan and John S. Gilder, two of the original settlers, prominent in their day are buried there as there are several graves but no headstones.


MOUNT ZION OR SPECTACLE CHURCH. 22


An act of the Legislatue approved January 26, 1850, in- corporated Mount Zion Church in Irwin County and appointed the following trustees, to wit: James L. Willcox, Miles Fitz- gerald, Richard J. Young, James Mixon and Owen D. Mulkey. This church is known as Spectacle Church on account of two ponds of water which are divided by a strip of high land dividing them from which the name Spectacle was given. This church is still in existence at the same site and services are regularly conducted there. There are two very old cemeteries there, one for colored people and one for white. James L. Will- cox, one of the pioneers of the county, is buried there.


METHODIST CHURCHES.


The Methodists must have been in Irwin County as early as the Baptists if not earlier. Smith's History of Methodism in Georgia and Florida states that in the year 1820, Reverend Burnett, who was in the Wiregrass country and whose health had failed him retired and James Norton took his place. Nor- ton had been the pioneer in this region years before and had first proclaimed the gospel to its scattered inhabitants.


The pay of these preachers at this time was $80 per annum which was increased to $100 per annum about the year 1823. The circuits were large and laborious, many consisting of twenty-eight appointments for twenty-eight days, a distance from twelve to eighteen miles was between these appointments. There were no church houses but services were held at the home of some settler where those living in reach assembled for preaching, then the preacher rode horseback to the next ap-

pointment. A short while after the appointment of Reverend James Norton to the Wiregrass section one new circuit was made in the Wiregrass country called the Alapaha Circuit. This circuit joined the Little Ocmulgee on the north and ex- tended to the Florida line on the south. J. J. Driggs, an Englishman by birth, was in charge of it. The population was sparse and the rides long. The people of the circuit were very poor, living in log huts and often during cold winter nights the wind poured in upon the heads of the sleepers all night long. Oftentimes in windy weather the wind blew down the large sticks and dirt chimneys and mixed lumps of clay and soot with the food. The settlers were very hospitable and served the preachers with the best they could provide. About the year 1832 the State of Florida was divided into two districts, the Tallahassee and the St. Augustine and all or a large part of Southern Georgia was included in the St. Augus- tine District of Florida. The preachers on this hard work were all single men. John W. Yarborough was sent to the Irwin Mission. He was a young man just from the mountains

and first appointment was for the Irwin Mission in Irwin County. The author of Smith's History states that in 1866 he rode seventeen miles through Irwin County without seeing a single dwelling or a living thing save a deer leaping through the woods, and that was thirty years after Yar- borough was sent on the Ir- win Mission. At that early time there were not many Methodists in Irwin County, still along the Ocmulgee River there were quite a few of this faith. The presiding Warren J. Paulk, County Commissioner. elder was a man named Tal- ley. He traveled on horse- back from the Flint River to the Okefenokee Swamp and from the Gulf coast for over one hundred miles northward into South Georgia. The difficulties of travel were very great and the privations demanded of the severest kind. There was probably not a bridge in the whole district. The streams often in winter times were swollen to such an extent until the preacher in crossing would have to swim his horse. The home in which he reposed his weary limbs was a pole cabin with clapboard roof and a dirt floor.


About the year 1840 the Georgia territory in the bounds of the Florida Conference was supplied by seven preachers. Simon Peter Richardson was a presiding elder and his district extended from Brunswick, Georgia, to St. Augustine, Florida, and from the Atlantic Ocean to Albany, Georgia. Originally Irwin County was in his district and it was for this presiding elder the Richardson Methodist Camp Ground in Irwin County was named, which camp ground was incorporated by the Legis- lature in 1843.

CHURCHES


None of the Georgia territory at present time belong to the Florida Conference as it is now a part of the South Georgia Conference. At this writing there are many Methodists in Irwin County and they have some very beautiful church houses.


In the early days there were some Methodist churches near the Ocmulgee River in Irwin County, one of which was Geor- gia's Chapel, another Union, and the Richardson's Camp Ground. There was a Methodist church in the second district of Irwin County on the west side of the Alapaha River called Clements and Walker School House. It was located between the residences of A. P. Clements and Jack Walker and for quite a while prior to the Civil War was served by a man named Ross.


CHAPTER 15.


COMMISSIONERS OF ROADS AND REVENUES.


At session of Legislature of the year 1887, an act was passed creating for Irwin County a Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues consisting of David Clements, chair- man, Frederick Tucker, Daniel T. Paulk, Joshua Troup, Lott Warren, and Jesse Sumner. At the next January election the same board was elected with Lott Warren chairman and James Paulk clerk.


At the session of the Legislature for the year 1890, an act was passed repealing the act passed at session of 1887, and creating the office of commissioner of roads and revenues and named M. Henderson as commissioner, and provided that his successor should be elected by the Grand Jury.


At the October term, 1892, M. Henderson was elected by the Grand Jury, county commissioner.


At the October term, 1900, M. Henderson resigned as county commissioner and the Grand Jury elected L. R. Tucker com- missioner in his stead. In accepting the resignation of Mr. Henderson the Grand Jury had this to say in their general presentments : "In accepting M. Henderson's resignation we do so with regret. For ten years he has managed the business of the county in a manner creditable to himself as an honest, upright business man and citizen and to the advancement of every interest of the county with no partiality to any section thereof. He has given the county good bridges, an excellent courthouse, one of the best jails in the state, about 115 miles of well graded roads and one of the best systems in the state for conducting the business of the county. He has, through untir- ing and well directed efforts, placed the county among the foremost of the state. The immense amount of public work he has done has necessarily cost considerable money but every intelligent citizen must know that it has been well spent. His voluntary retirement from the public service has caused wide- spread regret but it is coupled with the hope that it will only be temporary."

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.


Hon. L. R. Tucker served as county commissioner from Oc- tober term of Irwin Superior Court until December, 1900, when a Bill was passed and approved by the Legislature amending the Act passed in 1890 so as to provide for a Board of County Commissioners consisting of three members, said Board con- sisting of L. R. Tucker, Jacob Dorminy and E. R. Smith. The act provided for their successors to be elected at next election for county officers. At the next election for county officers, L. R. Tucker, E. R. Smith and John Gaff were elected who served until January, 1907, when L. R. Tucker, H. T. Fletcher and John Gaff were elected and served until August 11, 1908, when an act of the Legislature was approved which created a Board of County Commissioners consisting of ten members, and nam- ing Jacob A.

An Act of the Legislature approved August, 1910, repealed the Act creating a Board of Commissioners consisting of ten members and passed an Act providing for a Board of three Commissioners to be elected by the people, and at the first election Jacob A. Paulk, J. E. Howell and John W. Paulk were elected and served until January 1, 1913, when H. T. Fletcher, Jake W. Paulk and Tommy Tucker were elected.


In August, 1913, an Act of the Legislature was approved repealing the Act creating a Board of three Commissioners and passed an Act providing for one Commissioner and naming Warren Fletcher, commissioner, who served until March 5, 1917. Hon L. R. Tucker was elected by the people, county commissioner, who served as such until January 1, 1925, when Warren J. Paulk was elected to said office which position he still holds.
