Civil

War historians to discuss signifigance of county

Edward Jordan Lanham

has been a man with a mission for the past several years.

That mission has been locating all Civil War Veterans,

both Union and Confederate, who were buried in Fayette

County.

He will relate how he has

accomplished this task, along with documentation of his

finds, at the Sunday, Feb. 20 meeting of the Fayette

County Historical Society at 3 p.m. at the society's

Research Center at 195 Lee St., Fayetteville.

In addition to the search

itself, Lanham has hauled tons of granite markers to

those graves which had no marker and whose occupant he

has been able to determine. Lanham will share his quest

through slides and his personal comments.

He lives in Brooks and has

been a Fayette County resident for 22 years. He was born

in Zebulon and reared in Griffin.

Lanham owns Jordan Homes

and Properties Inc. Examples of his new homes, whose

exterior and character are based on historic homes, can

be found in North Cove and The Point in Peachtree City.

In addition to members and

friends of the society, anyone who has an interest in

history is invited to attend the meeting.
