Hon. A.P. Persons Heads Lawyers

The Georgia State Bar Association was in session at Warm Springs the past 
week.  The Association is composed of the leading members of the legal 
fraternity of the State.

At the recent meeting, Hon. A.P. Persons of Talbotton was elected President for 
the ensuing year.

The following sketch of Mr. Persons appeared in the Constitution Saturday 
morning:

“A.P. Persons was born in Talbotton, Ga., on the 29th day of October, 1853*, 
there he lived all his life and there he now resides.  He is a son of Hon. 
Henry Persons, who several years since, represented the (end of sentence is 
blurred).  In early life Mr. Persons attended home schools, but completed his 
education at the State University of Georgia.  Since 1887, the date of his 
admission to the bar, he has practiced law in his home county and he is at 
present a member of the well-known firm of Persons & McGehee.  At home and 
throughout the state he is recognized as an able lawyer.  He has represented 
his district in the State Senate and during his term of service was recognized 
as one of the strongest men in the general assembly.  His social qualities and 
genial disposition, combined with culture and common sense, draw men to him and 
make him universally popular.

*Note – the year of Mr. Person’s birth is blurred in the article.  It looks 
like 1853, but I can’t be certain.  If anyone is researching this family and 
has the correct birthdate for Mr. Persons please let me know.
