THURSTON TO REMOVE REMAINS OF RELATIVES


The venerable John Thurston, with a record of twenty-eight
years as county school commissioner, is preparing to remove
the remains of some of his ancestors from the ancient
burying ground at Stroud's Cross Roads in Monroe County, and
reinter them at Thomaston.  Among the remains are those of
Aquilla Chaney born 10-26-1785 and died 6-1-1869; Mrs.
Elizabeth Chaney, born 2-12-1791 and died 11-13-1865.  W. K.
Abercrombie and his wife live at the Cross Roads, one of the
roads being the paved highway from Culloden to Barnesville,
the other being the unpaved road from Yatesville to Macon.
