Listed on the National Register of Historic Homes, this home was built for my 
great-granduncle Walter T. McArthur and his wife Martha Virginia Victoria "Vic" 
Ryder. Aunt Vic's brother was my maternal great-grandfather, J. T. Ryder. Uncle 
Walter was born August 3, 1837 in Cumberland County, North Carolina and died 
December 16, 1894 in Lumber City, Telfair County, Georgia. He was a Lieutenant 
in the 7th Regiment Georgia Militia, CSA, and was also a delegate to the 
Democratic National Convention from Georgia in 1876. He made his fortune in the 
lumber business in and around Telfair County. Aunt Vic was born October 26, 
1857 in Walden, Bibb County, Georgia and died in 1931 in Lumber City. She and 
Uncle Walter are both buried in the McArthur Cemetery near the house.
