   GORDON SAUSSY. The legal profession of Savannah, Georgia, includes among its
members Gordon Saussy, who has been identified with the practice of law here for
over fifteen years.

   Mr. Saussy is a native of Savannah. He was born February 14, 1872, son of
Robert and Gertrude L. (Keller) Saussy. His father, also a native of Savannah,
born Dec. 24, 1840, now lives near this city, at Bonna Bella in Chatham county.
For several years he was actively and prominently connected with the Central
Railroad of Georgia and the Ocean Steamship Company. He was a member of the
Georgia Hussars before the war, and upon the beginning of the conflict between
the states he volunteered as a private, and served as such with efficiency and
fidelity. In February, 1863, he was promoted to second lieutenant of Company A
of the Hussars. October 27,1864, he was seriously wounded at the battle of
Wilson's Farm, near Boydtown plank road, below Burgess Mill, Virginia, and was
incapacitated thereby till the close of the war. From 1866 to 1898, he made his
home in New York City, where he was engaged in railroad and steamship service,
and in the latter year he returned to his old home in Georgia. As above stated,
he is now a resident of Bonna Bella, near Savannah.

   Although born in Georgia, Gordon Saussy went to New York in early life and
received his education there. He attended the College of the City of New York,
and studied law in the law department of Cornell University, from which he was
graduated in the class of 1896. That year he began the practice of his
profession in Savannah, and here he has continued up to the present time.
