**Note from contributor: The following are various newspaper articles covering 
GA related topics (mostly obituaries) which were pasted into a scrapbook by 
Pauline (Rankin) Starr, wife of Harry -- descendant of Benjamin & Charlotte. 
They probably subscribed to a GA newspaper(s), but these may just be articles 
sent them by people 'back home'.  She was from Calhoun (Gordon Co.) and he 
from Sunnyside. The name of the newspaper, and alas date of obit / marriage 
announcement is not given in most cases.**
