D. S. SIZEMORE

    Dock Solomon Sizemore is grandson of George and Rhoda Sizemore who settled
in Talbot County near Juniper, and nephew of Richard Sizemore who lived near
Cusseta. His father, James Marion, who was a Confederate veteran, and his mother
Caroline Pate Sizemore were the parents of twelve children. James Marion died
Jan. 17, 1907.

    Mr. Sizemore comes of a long-lived family—his mother's brother, Thos. J.
Pate and two sisters, Mrs. Eliza Funderburk and Mrs. Mattie Jenkins are now
living (1932).

    He married Elizabeth Frances Robinson and all their five children except one
are living and have profited by the good example and teaching of their parents.

    Mr. Sizemore owns the place where his father settled and resides not far
from the site of this old home. He is a progressive man, providing modern
conveniences for the comfort and pleasure of his family.

    He is a prosperous farmer and merchant who has always worked for the best
interests of his community. His friends know him to be upright and honorable in
all his dealings with people.

He has been an official member of Mt. Paran Primitive Baptist Church for many
years; was member of the Board of Education for this county for ten years; road
commissioner for six years, and has been justice of Peace for about seven years.
He is a man of deep convictions on all moral questions and a strict observer of
the doctrinal tenets advocated by his church.

    Mr. Sizemore is a leader in his district and due to his fair dealings and
uprightness of character one of the most trusted and highly respected men there.

    During the days of depression he has been a tower of strength to those
living in his neighborhood, cancelling debts and offering renewed credit to some
who might otherwise have felt the hardship of the times more keenly but for his
generous aid.

    Mr. T. A. Gordy says throughout the years he has known Mr. Sizemore his
kindliness of feeling toward others has manifested itself with timely gifts
bestowed in an unostentatious manner.

    Thus, Mr. Sizemore has become-a recognized leader in his community and an
outstanding citizen of the county through close application to business and
strict adherence to Christian principles in conducting all the affairs of life.
