    Bryan and William Farmer served during Mexican War as privates in Georgia
Light Infantry from Columbus, Ga.

    A record of the Albritton family would be incomplete without reference to
the gardens, both of vegetables and flowers, of Mrs. Mollie Albritton Wilkinson.

    It is probable no individual in Chatahoochee Co., ever lavished more thought
and care upon horticultural pursuits.

    Flowers and plants responded to her meticulous care with such marvelous
perfection of bloom and fruitage that they were the center of admiration of all
nature lovers passing this way. Her flower yard, through which her personality
expressed itself, is a living monument to her untiring energy and innate
artistic talent.
