county was created. At the present time in 1930 he seems to be in splendid health but has lost the use of his legs and is compelled to lie in bed. He has eleven children, thirty- two grandchildren and twenty-nine great-grandchildren.
He served in the Federal Army in 1856. Joined this army in Tampa, Florida. After serving sixteen months he was mustered out, receiving as pay two mules, one large and one small. He sold the large mule .and rode the small one home in eight days. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Confederate army, and was in the eighth Georgia Regiment, Company C. Was captured in a hospital during this war and was recognized by General Barron of the Federal forces, who served with him in Indian warfare in Florida. Through the influence of General Barron he was paroled in 1865 and walked all the way back to Poor Robin Spring near his home in Irwin County.
He made a contract with the German Government in 1878 to secure for them one hundred pine ship masts to square twenty-eight inches center. He secured these timbers, put them in rafts and floated them down the Ocmulgee River to Darien where he received $100.00 a stick for the same. In company with one Negro he walked back home.
In 1888, he contracted with the French Government to furnish them forty ship masts which he also delivered in like manner.
He was a steamboat pilot on the Ocmulgee and Altamaha River. In 1907 when he was eighty-one years old he piloted a new boat from Macon to the sea.
Many years ago a company in the sawmill business purchased two large boilers for use in their mills and had them shipped to Hawkinsville, the nearest railroad point to their destination, it being Abbeville, which was twenty-five miles south on the Ocmulgee River. The question of transportation of these heavy boilers was quite a problem. Mr. Statum looked them over and contracted to deliver the boilers at Abbeville for $200.00. He obtained the contract. He secured corks and securely fastened all flue and other openings in the boilers air and water tight and then rolled them into the Ocmulgee
