THE FLETCHERS
Joseph Fletcher, the pioneer of the Fletcher family, married Mary Henly. They came from Telfair County and settled west of Irwinville, on what in 1912 was called the Smith place. Their children were: William, Jehu, Hor- ton, John, Sandy, Jim, Wiley, Elbert, Sophie, Millie, Polly, Van, Dora, Jen- nie or Jinsey, and Martha. From these are a host of descendants many of whom are citizens of Tift County. They are a sturdy, God-fearing, industrious people who have been a constructive element in the community.
For further information of the Fletchers see article by Smada, Tifton Gazette of Jan. 5, 1912; also, see William Henderson's book "Henderson and Whiddon Families," pp. 137-141; also Ibid., 282-288.
Jim, called "Black Jim" Fletcher, was tax receiver, treasurer, and repre- sentative of Irwin County. He was a son of William Fletcher, and was grandson of pioneer Joseph Fletcher. Black Jim married Melissa Paulk and had four children, one of whom, Margaret, (born January 6, 1862), married Jonathan Walker on February 23, 1881, and became the mother of James Walker, born February 7, 1886, long time sheriff of Tift County.
Another Fletcher who achieved outstanding success in Tift County was Daniel Fletcher, born in Berrien County, September 18, 1867, son of Elbert and Catherine (Katy) McMillan Fletcher. Daniel was reared at Alapaha. On November 22, 1891 he married Mattie Churchwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Churchwell, Sr., and sister to John H. and A. F. Churchwell. Dan Fletcher and Mattie established a home on Route 4, near Tifton, and there remained for more than half a century, until Daniel's death on Thursday, March 28, 1946. Daniel Fletcher was buried in Tifton cemetery.
By occupation a farmer, Daniel Fletcher was one of the most extensive land owners of the community at the time of his death, and was deeply revered as to his character. He was a Mason and was a member of Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church, where his funeral was held.
Daniel Fletcher's mother died November 4, 1930, aged ninety-one years, six months. His father died more than fifty years prior to Daniel's death.
Daniel was survived by his widow and eight children, Erris, John H., Daniel, Jr., Mrs. Virginia Corley, of Tifton; Melvin, of Fitzgerald; Mrs. Fre- donia Simmons, Mrs. Edgar Pritchett, Miss Sara Fletcher, of Albany.

Daniel Archibald Fulwood, born at Fort Valley, February 3, 1833, was son of Jonathan and Mary Fulwood who died when he was a child. He was
397
HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
reared by his grandfather Fulwood, a Methodist minister who had come from North Carolina to Georgia and was one of the pioneers of Houston County. Daniel's uncle, Charles Fulwood, of his grandfather's household, was like a brother to him.
On October 28, 1855 Daniel Fulwood married Caroline Elizabeth Mur- ray (1832-June 15, 1906) and to them were born nine children, three of whom died in infancy. Daniel entered the Confederate Army and fought under General Longstreet. In the battle of Sharpsburg, Virginia, Fulwood lost his left leg.
After the war Daniel, though crippled, valiantly assumed his responsibili- ties toward his young and dependent family whom he reared to be useful, God-fearing citizens.
In 1882 Mr. Fulwood moved his family to near Alapaha in Berrien Coun- ty. After a year in the country he moved into Alapaha where the Fulwood family lived until 1898 when he moved to Tifton, where he continued to live for the rest of his life.
Daniel Fulwood's uncle, Charles Fulwood, became an eminent Methodist minister. Charles was a trustee of Emory College, was a member of the old Georgia Conference and later was a member of the old Florida Conference. He served in the ministry for sixty years and died while making his report as Presiding Elder to the Florida Conference.
Daniel lived to see his son C. W. Fulwood mayor of Tifton, and also lived to see gathered about him four generations of boys and girls of his family. He died at the home of his son, C. W. Fulwood, at Tifton, January 24, 1921. Daniel and his wife are buried at Tifton cemetery. A daughter, Emma Smith, (Mrs. F. O. Baker), of Alapaha, died in November, 1917. The children who survived Daniel were: I. A., and C. W. Fulwood, Willie Lee (Mrs. John G. Padrick), of Tifton; E. J. Fulwood, of Adel; Miss Lizzie Fulwood, then of Macon but now of Tifton.
Birth date: Feb. 3, 1833.
Death date: Jan. 24, 1921.
COLUMBUS WESLEY FULWOOD
Columbus Wesley Fulwood was born May 12, 1865, near Fort Valley, in Houston, now Peach County, Georgia. He was son of the Confederate soldier Daniel Archibald Fulwood (q.v.) and Carolyn Elizabeth Murray Fulwood.
Columbus received his schooling in Fort Valley. He did not go to college, but he was a lover of good books and was a great reader. As a youth he came to Berrien County where for two years he boarded with the family of a Dr. Foegal of Alapaha, while he worked part of the time at a sawmill, and some of the time at a drug store.
Daniel then desired that Columbus select for him a farm in the vicinity of Alapaha, which Columbus did. He chose a place about seven miles from Alapaha and the entire Fulwood family, excepting the oldest son, Isaac Archibald Fulwood, moved to the farm. Isaac remained in Fort Valley. Co- lumbus, however, was of the plantation household.
398
HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
After two years on the farm the Fulwoods moved into Alapaha, and there Columbus Wesley Fulwood began reading law with Colonel William I. Lastinger. Fulwood stood his bar examination at Nashville and he began practicing law in Alapaha where he and Colonel C. I. Stacey formed a part- nership.
Some time prior to this there had been living in Savannah a young woman by the name of Meta Dearing. Her father had died and her mother had mar- ried again and Meta came to Alapaha to make her home with her married sister, Mrs. Ib Giddings. Columbus met, wooed and won Meta, and they were married at the Alapaha Methodist Church, the only church in town then, the pastor, the Reverend J. M. Foster, performing the ceremony.
To Columbus and Meta was born in Alapaha a daughter whom they named Carolyn Lee Fulwood, for Mr. Fulwood's mother and one of his sis- ters. Before the baby was two years old Columbus, Meta and little Carrie moved to Tifton where C. W. Fulwood practiced law until his death. In Tif- ton were born to Columbus and Meta Fulwood seven other children.
When C. W. Fulwood came to Tifton the place was a small sawmill vil- lage. Mr. Fulwood and Tifton's founder, Henry Tift, became close and staunch friends and Fulwood was for many years Mr. Tift's legal adviser. Mr. Tift held Mr. Fulwood in high esteem and when Henry Tift gave to the City of Tifton for a park a large tract of land heavily wooded in virgin growth long leaf yellow pines he named the park Fulwood Park in honor of his friend, Columbus Wesley Fulwood, who helped him draw up the papers of conveyance to the city.
In 1934 the Tifton Garden Club, by popular subscription, erected at one entrance to the park a stone gateway on which is inscribed: "This arch erect- ed as a token of appreciation to C. W. Fulwood whose tireless and unceas- ing efforts have made this park possible and to H. H. Tift, who donated the original park site." The inscription at the right reads: "Erected 1934 by the Tifton Garden Club, by popular subscription. Officers, Mrs. Warren Baker, president; Mrs. Fred Bell, 1st vice-president; Mrs. R. R. Forrester, 2nd vice-president; Mrs. H. E. Herring, treasurer; Miss F. K. Hollinsworth, secretary; C. W. Fulwood, Jr., architect; W. P. Brown, contractor." The dedicatory address was made by Lennon Bowen.
In 1893 when Mayor W. H. Love resigned his office as mayor of Tifton, Columbus W. Fulwood was elected Tifton's second mayor and began the duties of his office on May 1, 1893 at a meeting held at the office of H. H. Tift, the oath of office having been subscribed before W. W. Rutherford on April 11, 1893. At the first meeting of his mayorality it was ordered that a committee be appointed to confer with the Brunswick and Western railroad relative to street crossings and furnishing better depot facilities at Tifton. Councilmen H. H. Tift and E. P. Bowen were appointed on this committee. A Board of Health was appointed as follows: Dr. J. C. Goodman, Dr. J. A. McCrea, Messrs. E. P. Bowen, J. H. Knight and C. A. Williams. J. H. Good- man was Tifton Council clerk. Mr. Williams asked to be released from serv- ing on the board and at the next meeting John C. Hind was appointed in his
399
HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
place. Mr. Hind, a Canadian, was Tifton's earliest contractor, who, in Feb- ruary, 1891, requested that Council set a fee for a contractor's license, which was done.
Prior to Mr. Fulwood's becoming mayor, Tifton Council meetings were held at the office of H. H. Tift. On August 22, 1893 Council met in Mr. Ful- wood's office, and thereafter they sometimes met in Tift's office and some- times in Fulwood's.
At the August 22, 1893 meeting of Council steps were taken to try to prevent the importation of the dread yellow fever peril. A quarantine was ordered and extra police employed to enforce it. Council voted thanks to W. O. Tift for his offer of use of a vacant house on the Tifton and Northeastern Railroad for use as a pest house, if needed. Later, Dame Rumor had her say, and Tifton business men, fearful that their profits would be imperiled were dismayed. Council passed an ordinance whereby it became a punishable of- fense to "originate a false rumor" relative to yellow fever or to "repeat one whether true or false." Punishment was set at not less than five dollars and not more than fifty dollars, in default of which a culprit was to work upon the public works for a term of not less than ten or more than a hundred days. The quarantine was raised at a meeting in Mayor Fulwood's office, Septem- ber 13, 1893. Present were Mayor Fulwood, Councilmen B. T. Allen, E. P. Bowen, W. T. Hargrett, J. C. Goodman. Allen was clerk pro tem.
C. W. Fulwood served as mayor of Tifton during 1894 also. That year city officers were elected as follows: Dr. J. A. McCrea, mayor pro tem .; J. H. Goodman, clerk and treasurer; W. T. McGuirt, marshal. Dr. J. A. McCrea was elected city physician.
At a meeting of council on April 2, 1894, at office of H. H. Tift, the fire limits of the city of Tifton were established. Also the matter of city lights was taken up. It was ordered that two street lamps, one north of the Bruns- wick and Western Railway tracks and one south of them be placed at the B. and W. crossing; also one west side of Georgia, Southern and Florida Railway crossing, and same to be kept filled and lighted by the marshal.
Mayor Fulwood held office in 1895 also, but in 1896 he was succeeded by F. G. Boatright who became Tifton's third mayor.
During the long period that C. W. Fulwood practiced law in Tifton he had a number of men associated with him. His first law partner was Colonel J. A. Alexander, who later moved to Nashville. Others were Holmes Murray, Colonel Skeen of Atlanta, and in later years Mr. Fulwood's youngest son, John Goodman Fulwood.
In 1895 J. A. Alexander, Colonel C. W. Fulwood and C. C. S. Baldridge bought the Tifton Gazette from B. T. Allen (see article on B. T. Allen, this volume), and Baldridge and Fulwood later organized the Gazette Publishing Company.
C. W. Fulwood was the first president of the Country Club at Gun Lake, organized 1912.
The Fulwood home for many years was the house at the southwest corner

HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
Levy County, Florida. There he met and, in 1866, married Juliet Elizabeth McCall, daughter of Lewis McCall and Mary Knight McCall. After their marriage James Smith Gaulding and his wife came to Joshlyn, Georgia, a small sawmill village between Jacksonville and Waycross. After about a year there they came to Tifton, where James Smith arrived on June 3, 1879.
James spent his first night in Tifton in the uppermost room of the tall house that was H. H. Tift's and Bessie Tift's first home after Henry brought Bess to Tifton after their honeymoon. James went to work at the Tift Sawmill and worked there as a sawyer for fourteen years, at which time failing health necessitated his stopping. He owned a farm on the Ocilla Road not far from Tifton and after leaving the mill he spent his time either at the farm or in Tifton until his death, which occurred on the 3rd of June, 1930, on the anniversary of his arrival in Tifton, and in the home of his son, Jack Gaulding, on Second Street, within a hundred yards of the place where he had spent his first night in Tifton fifty-one years earlier.

HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
JAMES LAWRENCE GREENE JOHN BURWELL GREENE LEOLA JUDSON GREENE
James Lawrence Greene and Martha Randolph Hannon Greene were living in Taylor County, Georgia, when their son, John Burwell Greene, was born November 5, 1843. James was a descendant of the Greene family of which General Nathaneal Greene, of Revolutionary fame, was a member, and Martha was of the family of which was John Hancock, of Virginia. John Burwell Greene was a descendant of Burwell Greene, Revolutionary soldier whose grave is in the Forsyth, Georgia cemetery. Burwell married a widow, Mrs. Nancy King.
When nineteen, John Burwell Greene enlisted in the Confederate Army. He was under Captain Dunlap, Company B, 36 Georgia Regiment. After serving through the Vicksburg campaign he spent several months at Lauder- dale Springs Hospital, at first as a patient, later as a nurse.
Greene's company was sent to aid General Bragg in defense of Chicka- mauga. On the afternoon of the last day of the battle he was wounded in the side by a shell fragment. Captured, he was carried to Camp Douglas prison, Chicago, where he remained twenty-one months. Then came peace and blessed release. On May 20, 1865, he reached home.
In 1866 in Taylor County John joined the Methodist Church at Turner's Chapel. On November 17 of next year he married Miss Margaret Emerline Boothe. Children of this union were Caroline, Burton, Martha, Catherine, Leola, Joseph, and Burwell. Burwell died in infancy; the other children throve. In 1880, John Burwell, Margaret, and the children, riding through country in a covered wagon, journeyed to Berrien County, after having stayed about six months near a mill in Coffee County. They came to Tifton where Mr. Greene worked for a while before beginning work for H. H. Tift, Tifton's founder. Mr. Tift had numerous farms and John Burwell Greene became superintendent of eight of Tift's large farms, and on horseback would ride from one farm to another overseeing the work. He carried on for Mr. Tift what amounted to a private experiment station, for Tift wished to ascertain what crops would best thrive in this section.
In 1892 Greene grew the first tobacco grown in what is now Tift County; and until a few years ago, the old tobacco barn used by John Burwell Greene for curing, still stood on the property now owned by the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station. Also, he had forty acres in blue Con- cord grapes and the grapes were shipped by the carload from Tifton. Also he grew various vegetables. Later he worked for W. O. Tift, H. H.'s brother.
Before John Burwell Greene had been in Tifton a year, his beloved Mar- garet, who had made the long ride here with him, died, in September. When nearly a year and a half had dragged by and it was spring again, he wed Margaret's sister, Julia, whom he married in May of 1882. Julia, born in Taylor County, June 16, 1846, was kind and loving to Margaret's children and was as nearly as possible like an own mother to them. The children
403
HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
were taught by their grandfather, James Lawrence Greene, who had attend- ed the oldest college in Georgia. He taught in a one-room log cabin about one and a half miles north of the farm on which John lived, and gradually other children than his grandchildren came to him to be taught, long be- fore Tifton Institute was founded.
John Burwell Greene and his wife, Julia, were among the six organizers of the Tifton Methodist Church, and John's name is the first name on the church roll. For many years he was the only steward of the church, of which he was a loyal member all his life.
The Greenes lived for many years in the country in a house built for them by H. H. Tift upon one of the Tift farms. It was the same now owned by Willingham Tift, of Atlanta, and used by him as a country home. In this house three of Mr. Greene's children were married: The eldest married John L. Herring; Caroline Neisler Greene married Oscar F. Sheppard; Catherine married James W. Hannon.
John Burwell Greene died Tifton, November 29, 1908. Julia died in Tifton, January 2, 1914. Both are buried in Tifton Cemetery.
When John L. Herring bought the controlling interest in the Gazette from Briggs Carson, Leola Greene, who had been born in Macon County, 1875, began work at the Gazette. She wrote; she set type. At one time or another she did everything that was to be done. For fifty years she has writ- ten up Tifton's weddings, births and deaths, and Miss Leola's wedding stories are famous. Hers is the gift of descriptive writing, and her travel stories which have appeared in the Gazette are vivid and interesting. Notably so are those on the Okefenokee and those on Duck Island. Every one ad- mires and loves Miss Leola, and her fiftieth anniversary of writing for the Gazette was a time of many congratulations.
THE GIBBS FAMILY
The Gibbs family has many members in Tift County and surrounding ter- ritory. The large size of the Gibbs family precludes the setting forth of a comprehensive genealogy in the limited space of this volume. Such however, is to be found on PP. 91-101 in the valuable genealogy, "Family Record of the Henderson and Whiddon Families and their Descendants," written by William Henderson of Ocilla and printed by the Byrd Printing Company, Atlanta, in 1926. Also, that genealogist "Smada," whose real name was Pat- rick Adams, to whom Tifton is deeply indebted because of his many valuable articles on "Old Families of Irwin," has an article on the Gibbs family in the Tifton Gazette of March 22, 1912.
James Gibbs, born February 28, 1818, married September 19, 1841, Mahala Henderson Paulk, born August 24, 1824, daughter of Nancy Henderson Paulk. James and Mahala settled near Little River four miles from where Ty Ty now is. They reared a family and then moved to the old Jake Clem- ents place where both died. Both are buried at Hickory Springs cemetery.
To James and Mahala Gibbs were born eight children: Ellen (born May
404
HISTORY OF TIFT COUNTY
16, 1844; married, first, Lott Ross; second Jacob C. Clements). 2. Martha (born July 28, 1846; married John Warmack). 3. Jacob (born July 18, 1847; died 1870). 4. Catherine (born July 29, 1850; married W. E. Williams). 5. Allen (born March 5, 1853; married Sallie Warren). 6. John (born Novem- ber 13, 1865; married Sallie Willis). 7. James (born July 29, 1848; married, first Polly Warren; second, Mrs. Mary Paulk, widow of Hon. George Paulk). 7. Frankie.
Of the above children James Gibbs, Jr., became Elder James Gibbs, a Primitive Baptist minister who was an influence for good in the community over a long period of years and was greatly beloved. Among his charges was Hickory Springs Primitive Baptist Church. Elder Gibbs was called "Uncle Babe Gibbs." The book on the Henderson and Whiddon families gives Elder James's wife as Mary Warren, whereas Smada says that he was twice mar- ried; first, to Polly Warren; second, to Mary Paulk, widow of George Paulk.
To Elder James Gibbs and Polly Warren were born nine children. One of these, H. F. Gibbs, married Ruby Lee Partridge. Of this union were a number of children of whom one, Ralph Laverne Gibbs, born August 4, 1917, became a pianist of exceptional ability. His promising career was cut short by his death in World War II (see sketch of Ralph Gibbs, chapter of World War soldiers, this volume).
To John and Sallie Willis Gibbs were born six children: Silas. Lonnie. Ernest, Earl, Carl, Clayton. Of these, Earl Gibbs, born April 1, 1897. has since January 1, 1941, been clerk of court of Tift County, succeeding Henry D. Webb, who succeeded Mr. Peeples, first clerk of court of Tift County. Earl Gibbs on March 20, 1918 married Stella Bowen, daughter of Isaac Stephen Bowen. They have one daughter, Sarah Bowen Gibbs. born Novem- ber 24, 1920.
