Wedding Ansley - Hollinshead & Ansley

                                              Hollinshead -- Ansley

     Among interesting marriages this week was that of Miss Jane Hollinshead, of Washington, Ga., and Dr. Campbell Wallace Ansley, of Thomasville, which took place on Friday at noon at the home of the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Ansley.  The time of the marriage had been arranged for February, but as Miss Hollinshead was in Thomasville on a visit to her friend, Miss Margaret Brandon, and Lieutenant Ansley was spending the holidays with his parents, they decided that with the uncertainties of war times it would be best not to wait for that date.
    The marriage was a quiet event, with only a few relatives and friends present.  The bride entered with her brother, Mr. Allen Hollinshead, of Washington, Ga., who gave her in marriage and was met by the bridegroom with hs best man, Mr. Frank Ansley Jr., of Chicago.  The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Robert S. Sanders, of the Presbyterian Church.  The decorations were military in their nature and the couple stood for the ceremony under an arch of crossed United States flags.
   The bride wore a handsome tailored suit of silvertoned orchid cloth and her corsage was of orchids and valley lillies.  A luncheon was served after the marriage and following it the couple left for Savannah,  Lieut. Ansley being stationed at Fort Screven with the Coast Artillery.
   The bride is a lovely young girl, who has visited Thomasville several times and made numbers of friends.  The bridegroom is one of Thomasville's best known and most popular young men and has taken a high stand in his work in the army.

Depredations of the Indians (1788)

Depredation - an act of plundering and pillaging and marauding

I can't say that anyone on the following list is related to me. I primarily copied it because quite frankly, I'd never seen anything like this before.  Might have been a tad bit more interesting had I found the original on microfilm or if someone I was related to in someway was on here.

Never seen anything like this before so I thought I'd share it with the blogisphere.  This happens to be from Washington County, Georgia, dated 18 SEP 1788, and I found it in a book on Washington County, Georgia Records when I was visiting Ft. Wayne a few months ago.  Take a look... Remember clicking will enlarge the image, browsers back button will return you to GFOM.
