Oconee Enterprise July 27, 1945
LAST VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR IN OCONEE IS DEAD

  Henry Doggett of Statham passed away at his home Saturday after an illness of 
several weeks.  Mr. Doggett, because of his lovable personality, kindness and 
generosity to all with whom he was associated, was known and called "Pappy" by 
his family and countless friends throughout northeast, Ga.
  Henry Hillman Doggett joined the forces of the Confederacy at the age of 
sixteen, serving with Major Cook's battalion from Clarke county.  After the war 
he returned to Oconee county where he was married to Miss Alma Belle Ward, who 
preceded him in death by 8 years.
  "Pappy" remained actively engaged in his farm interests until about ten years 
ago when his eyes began to fail him and he was forced to retire.
  However, he never lost interest in the affairs of his state and the nation.  
He was much concerned about the present war and followed its progress closely.  
Mentally alert to the end, he sat upon his bed and discussed the Japanese war 
with his family a few days before his death.
  Funeral services were held at the home of H. C. Johnson, at 2 o'clock (CWT).  
Burial followed in the Griffith cemetery, Oconee county.
  Surviving Mr. Doggett are two children, Mrs. J. A. Puckett, Athens, and F. A. 
Doggett, Oxford, GA, fourteen grandchildren, twenty-four great grandchildren 
and one great great grandson.

Additional Comments:
Correct spelling of his spouse's full name is Mary Alma Bell Ward.  The 
cemetery is the Hopkins-Delay Cemetery on Hebron Church Rd.
