Calhoun Obituaries

I met the nicest guy recently (on-line) he lives in Adairsville, GA which is right up the road from Calhoun, GA. Calhoun GA has a great library where you can go and look up obits of your relatives. We do go to Calhoun but it seems like we are never there when the library is open. Anyway, I emailed him and asked if he would be willing to do some look-ups for me. He kindly went to the library and had success with most of the names I sent him. Moses Foster is the most interesting to me simply because it confirms what I have been trying to prove since I started this, that Moses was a confederate solider. The obit also mentions heart trouble which is the first I have heard of that. He died suddenly. He "was only sick a day or two". He was 45 years old. He had six children at the time of his death. He owned one of the finest farms on the river. At an early age he volunteered to serve his country and at the close of the conflict he was paroled an honored confederate soldier being then not quite twenty years old.
I have Judge Thomas Allison Foster family's obit's. His wife, daughters and son.
Malissa Foster, Moses wife, my great- grandfather's, Samuel Robert Foster, and his brother "Dud". Have Kate Foster & Julia Foster.
From the Neal Line I have Flonnie Neal Bentley, and Elias and Millie Green Neal's obituaries.
