NORMAN STATUM.

   Family Bible shows this man was born July 31, 1826; he resides now in
Rochelle, Wilcox County, formerly Irwin. His home has been in four counties,
Irwin, Dooly, Pulaski and Wilcox, still he has never moved. The reason for this
is the creation of new counties, changing his residence when new county was
created. At the present time in 1930 he seems to be in splendid health but has
lost the use of his legs and is compelled to lie in bed. He has eleven children,
thirty-two grandchildren and twenty-nine great-grandchildren.

   He served in the Federal Army in 1856. Joined this army in Tampa, Florida.
After serving sixteen - months he was mustered out, receiving as pay two mules,
one large and one small. He sold the large mule and rode the small one home in
eight days. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Confederate army, and was
in the eighth Georgia Regiment, Company C. Was captured in a hospital during
this war and was recognized by General Barron of the Federal forces, who served
with him in Indian warfare in Florida. Through the influence of General Barron
he was paroled in 1865 and walked all the way back to Poor Robin Spring near his
home in Irwin County.

   He made a contract with the German Government in 1878 to secure for them one
hundred pine ship masts to square twenty-eight inches center. He secured these
timbers, put them in rafts and floated them down the 0cmulgee River to Darien
where he received $100.00 a stick for the same. In company with one Negro he
walked back home.

   In 1888, he contracted with the French Government to furnish them forty ship
masts which he also delivered in like manner.

   He was a steamboat pilot on the 0cmulgee and Altamaha River. In 1907 when he
was eighty-one years old he piloted a new boat from Macon to the sea.

   Many years ago a company in the sawmill business purchased two large boilers
for use in their mills and had them shipped to Hawkinsville, the nearest
railroad point to their destination, it being Abbeville, which was twenty-five
miles south on the Ocmulgee River. The question of transportation of these heavy
boilers was quite a problem. Mr. Statum looked them over and contracted to
deliver the boilers at Abbeville for $200.00. He obtained the contract. He
secured corks and securely fastened all flue and other openings in the boilers
air and water tight and then rolled them into the 0cmulgee River and they
floated and in this manner he carried them down the river and delivered them to
their destination.

PHYSICIANS.

   For many years there was no doctor or lawyer in Irwin County; the nearest
physician to Irwin County was Doctor D. F. McCrimmon, who lived in Wilcox
County, about three miles from Bowen's mill, now Ben Hill County, which was
eighteen miles from Irwinville. He enjoyed a very large practice, traveling on
horseback or roadcart over a vast territory. He was a splendid physician, a good
citizen and fine gentleman of the old school.

   Dr. G. E. White was the first physician I find any record of as living in the
county from 1859 to 1865. Other physicians: Dr. S. T. Heard, Dr. M. M. Hill, Dr.
W. C. Ashley, Dr. N. Peter-son, Dr. A. Griffin, Drs. W. L. & Chas. Julian, Dr.
Howell and Dr. Bowen.
