The Constitution Newspaper, Atlanta GA April 22, 1902
April 22, 1902, Tuesday – Atlanta - Passing Throng – 
Among the visitors from Fulton County to the Confederate reunion at Dallas 
[Texas] are James Colley, William Ison and John Todd, three citizens from the 
northern part of the county, who left Atlanta Sunday afternoon with their 
wives for a three weeks’ trip. They are all old Confederate veterans, Colley 
and Todd having been members of Wheeler’s cavalry and Isom a private in 
Leydon’s battalion of artillery, and all saw service around Atlanta in 1865. 
They are now prosperous and progressive farmers of this county and influential 
men in their community. During the period of unpleasantness there were no more 
brave or daring soldiers in the ranks and with the advent of peace they 
returned to agricultural pursuits and by dint of hard work, directed by good, 
hard common sense, have accumulated considerable wealth. It is probable that 
they party will extend their trip so as to include a tour through the most 
interesting parts of Indian Territory . The three couples made quite a 
congenial group as they pulled out of Atlanta and all looked forward to their 
trip to the reunion with the keenest pleasure.


Additional Comments:
James Colley is James Edward Colley (b. 11 May 1845, DeKalb County GA, died 23 
August 1930, Atlanta, GA), son of Daniel Carson Colley and Olive Vine Queen 
Colley.
He married Mary Ann Eliza Plaster of DeKalb County, daughter of Benjamin Nancy 
C. Plaster.
