Hon. Nedom S. Angier, like most of the natives of Acworth who have obtained a professional education, spent much time in teaching. Having access to the libraries of his uncle John and his brother Joel, his leisure hours were spent in the study of medicine. In 1839 he went to Georgia and taught school there four years, still pursuing in the meantime his chosen study, enjoying the use of the libraries of Drs. Smith and Hunnicutt of Cowder County. In 1843 he attended a course of lectures at the Medical University of New York. In 1844 he commenced practice at the Court House of the Tenth District of Randolph County, Ga. In 1847 he re- moved to Atlanta, then a "city in the woods," and opened a drug store in connection with his practice. In 1850, with a party of adventurers, he went to California by the overland route. In 1851 he returned to become a suc- cessful speculator in real estate, abandoning his profession. From the first, he was opposed to the secession movements at the South, and from the break- ing out of the rebellion he studied how to escape from rebeldom. In 1863, with great hardship and peril, he passed the lines of both armies by way of Memphis. Coming thus from the South, he was naturally watched and sub- jected to many inconveniences by the military detectives of the Federal Gov- ernment, and he acknowledges especially the kind offices of S. L. Bowers of Newport, and W. S. Moody, formerly of Unity, in these difficulties. He now began to search for an opportunity to return South to rescue his family. He soon found a "flag of truce" boat carrying only ladies from Annapolis, Md., to City Point for exchange, and by it returned to the South. On reaching home he repaired to Florida under the plea of trading in salt, hoping, on that extensive and sparsely settled coast, to find means of reaching Cuba. After various adventures, and various expedients devised and attempted at great peril, both by himself and wife, they at last found themselves on board the blockade runner, "Little Leila," on the Suwannee River, through the efforts of his sagacious and brave wife. Waiting until the "Yankees" retired for a New Year's frolic at the "Keys," the vessel successfully run the blockade and landed them safely in Havana. His eldest son, a conscript in the rebel army about the same time, deserted, and with much suffering and danger, reached the Union army nearly exhausted. They finally took up their residence near Boston until the close of the war when they returned to Georgia. Ap- pointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the Third District of Georgia, for nine months, he resided at Augusta. He then resigned and returned to At-

lanta where he was elected delegate to the State Constitutional Convention, where he faithfully opposed all those schemes of repudiation which were after- wards expunged from the Constitution by Congress. He was elected State Treasurer by the first General Assembly under the new Constitution, which office he now holds.
