JOHN W. SHINHOLSER

    Mr. Shinholser says: "I was born in Wilkinson County. My father was a
physician and moved to Milledgeville when I was a very small boy."

    "I first attended school taught by Miss Mary Herty, at her home, corner of
Jefferson and Hancock Streets. My grand-parents were residents of Baldwin
county, Scottsboro, about one hundred years ago. My grandmother was one of the
charter members of the first Presbyterian Church established in Milledgeville.
My first dollar was earned as cash boy for Quinn Brothers, occupying store where
Candler Bros.' Grocery store now is. Miller White was cashier, and Lee Hernandez
was salesman No. 1.

    "I registered as a student at the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural
College the day it first opened, a member of Miss Birdie Little's class.

    "I am still interested in old Baldwin, being among its largest tax-payers,
and developing one of its antebellum plantations, known as the Whitaker place. I
have, by purchase, added more than a thousand acres to the original twenty-eight
hundred and eighty-six, and it is now known as the Indian Island Farm and Ranch."
