Mrs. Carson Durham, listed in the obituary but
now deceased, nee Lottie Lenora Lunceford, was
my aunt by marriage.  She married Carson Gordon
Durham in Taliaferro County, Georgia, in 1934.
She was Church Clerk at Bethesda Baptist Church
for years.  Carson Gordon Durham was one of my
mother's older brothers.  Their
grandchildren/grandson now has Durhamtown
Plantation, a sports resort (mostly hunting
camp and 4-wheeler trails),in eastern Greene
County on Randolph Church Road between Daniel
Springs and Temperance Bell
