Atkinson County Citizen - September 8, 2011
 Orman Earl Mizell, our beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather passed 
away peaceful in his home on Monday, September 5, 2011.
 Orman was born in Axson, GA on March 24, 1925 to Aaron and Cappie White Mizell, 
the oldest of twelve children. He was raised in Axson , where he attended 
elementary school, later graduating from Pearson High in 1943. Like his father 
and grandfathers, Orman was a devoted farmer. He loved the soil and crops, 
sometimes working them with sweat and watering them with tears. When his father 
accidentally broke his back in 1945, Orman moved his wife and new baby into the 
home of his parents so that along with his crops, and his wife took care of his 
siblings for that year, while Papa Buzz was hospitalized in Atlanta.
 He met Margaret Hettie Musgrove, the love of his life, while attending Pearson 
High School. They married in Millwood, GA on July 1, 1944. Their marriage was 
later solemnized in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Orman felt that one of his 
greatest accomplishments in life, other than his beloved family, were the 
opportunities that he and Margaret had to serve as Temple and Genealogical 
missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They served in 
the England Genealogical Center on England's 1880 Census and in the Washington, 
DC and Atlanta, GA Temples, for a total of 5 missions.
 Orman is survived by his daughter, Margie (Jan) Anderson of Payson, Utah, his 
son Jesse Wayne (Tracy) Mizell of Axson, his daughter-in-law, Gisela Mizell of 
Axson and Ohio; brothers, Aaron Mizell, Jr. (Jean) of Warner Robins, GA and 
Harold Mizell (Kathryn) of Mineral Bluff, GA; sister-in-law, Vonnell Mizell of 
Douglas, 3 brothers-in-law, Tommy Musgrove (Wilma) of Rome, GA, Edwin 
Musgrove(Ona) of Millwood, GA and Joe Musgrove (Mary) of Douglas, GA. He is also 
survived by 14 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandchild 
and numerous nieces and nephews.

8, 2011 at the Pearson Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
