   CHARLES WYNNE ATTWILL, attorney at law, and fast forging to the front in his
profession, is a native born Georgian, his birth taking place at Savannah, on
December 15, 1879. He is the son of Charles Wesley and Lupina Rebecka (Horn)
Attwill. The father was a native of West Moreland county, Virginia, while the
mother was born in Laurens county, near Dublin, and reared in Thomasville,
Thomas county. Charles W. Attwill, the elder, was employed in Savannah by the
Hogan Dry Goods Company until the time of his death, which occurred on March 20,
1881. They were the parents of two children: Charles W. of this brief personal
review and Susie, who died at the age of four years.

   The son, Charles W., attended school in Savannah until he was ten years of
age, the old Chatham Academy being the scene of his studies, and he then came to
Eastman accompanied by his mother and her stepfather, Dr. D. Cox, and in Eastman
high school completed his studies and was graduated therefrom in 1896. In 1898
the young man took a business course at Ozark, Alabama, and later studied law at
Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, from which institution he was graduated in
1904. On June 8th of that year he began the practice of his profession in Mount
Vernon, in which he has since made continuous and consistent advance. In the
years 1905, '06 and '07 Mr. Attwill was official stenographer for the city
courts of Eastman, McRae and Baxley, a position which he filled most admirably,
as a result of his efficient business training, and on January 1, 1910, he was
appointed by Gov. Joseph Brown to fill out the unexpired term of W. M. Morrison
as solicitor of the city court of Eastman, which he retained until the
expiration of the term, on June 1, 1911. He has conducted a general law practice
with most pleasing results, and is the legal representative of the Dodge
Fertilizer Works, also the First National Bank of Eastman. Mr. Attwill is
unmarried, and makes his home with his mother, who still lives in Eastman.
