Oscar Bryans Knowles was born March 16, 1861, likely in Henry Co. GA, where his 
father began medical practice. He was the oldest son of James Bellah and 
Lavonia C.(Williamson)Knowles. After his father's death in 1865, the family 
returned to the Williamson place in Butts Co. On December 28, 1881, he married 
Lanie Adaline Maddox, daughter of David and Rebecca(Hunt?)Maddox. The couple 
had seven children(five who reached adulthood)and spent much of their lives 
along Fincherville Rd. on inherited land, where Oscar built a new house about 
1895(near Ingram Rd.-later the Robert Findley place). This photograph-likely an 
official pose-was made c.1919, when O.B. was Chief of Police in Jackson. At 
that time, they lived near the Jail on Oak Street. Later, he worked as a 
security guard at the State Capitol in Atlanta, living on Oakland Ave.
