Notes for HARLEY WALDBERG BENNETT:
1879-1960                                                 Ware, Bacon Co., GA       
       
       Harley Bennett was born July 4, 1879, a son of Jefferson Davis and Julia Ann Bagley Bennett. He married Tennessee Meeks, born June 27, 1878, daughter of Charles Wesley Meeks and Lucy Moore They married January 3, 1901. They had 2 sons, and Tennessee died from complications following the birth of the second son, June 24, 1904.
       Following the death of Tennessee, her sister, Lydia Meeks Hinson, and husband Dan, took Harley (the baby), to raise. Calvin stayed with his father. Harley, Jr. went by the last name of Hinson all his life.
       On August 31, 1905, Harley, Sr. married Cassie Mims, born Feb. 27, 1886, daughter of Alexander and Penelope Waters. They had 10 children.
       Harley Sr.'s brothers' wife, Minnie Meeks, died about two weeks after the birth of their son, Lester Julian Bennett, born March 28, 1938. Harley Sr., and wife Cassie, took Lester, and raised him as their son. Lester married Jenell Hughes, born Feb. 25, 1941, daughter of Jessie D. Hughes and Varnell Hurst. They divorced in Dallas, TX in 1971. He then married Kay Diane Newman Evans, on Nov. 12, 1973, in Dallas.

From JoAnne Douglas Bennett Stewart:
       I never knew Harley when he was a young man, but I have pictures of him, and he was nice looking. He was about 6 ft. tall, with brown hair and eyes. When I met him in 1946, he had already had a very serious heart attack, and survived. He was a kind, gentle, soft-spoken man whose hair was grey, though he still had all of it. He had gone blind in 1942, from cataracts, and possible glaucoma. Doctors didn't know that much about glaucoma in those days. In 1976, when his son, John Berrien (JB) found out that he also had glaucoma and cataracts, and that it was inheritable, he remembered the operations Harley had gone through trying to restore his sight, and the way it affected him. Harley told me one day that he could still see light, and if someone or something went in front of him, he could see, but not enough to distinguish who or what it was. He used a cane to get around, and you could usually find him sitting near a radio, twirling his cane, while he kept up with current events. He was a Deacon in the Primitive Baptist Church, and always lived his religion. Eventually, Harley had a second heart attack, and died in their home (July 6, 1960) on 12th Street, in Alma, GA. He was buried in the Stewart cemetery in Alma, where they attended church.
       Cassie Mims was very short, had blonde hair and blue eyes in her youth. She wore her waist-long hair pulled back into a ball, and it was white when I met her. She also wore glasses. She loved her children, their wives, and her grandchildren. She reminded me of a little Bantam hen, coming in defense of her kin, should anyone so much as hint anything against them. My husband, JB, always enjoyed making her laugh, and as her little stomach went up and down, would try to grab it. She was the best mother-in-law, never interfering in any of her children's lives, but always there when one needed her. She was quite a little lady, and it was my privelege to have known her. Cassie lived alone after Harley died, and died on August 3, 1968 in the hospital in Alma. She was buried next to Harley in the Stewart Cemetery. Most of their children are buried there, also.

From Michael Dean Bennett:
       Although we lived in Texas, my parents often made the trip (by car) back to Georgia to see their folks. I got to meet Harley (though he was Papa, to me) a few times before his death, but I was just a small child. He was the first sightless person I had ever seen, and I didn't quite know how to deal wih it. I would sit in his lap, or next to him, and help twirl his cane. We didn't talk much, as I was so young, but I felt very comfortable just being around him. In 1960, his funeral was my first exposure to death, and was hard for me, since I was but seven years old.
       Cassie (Granny) was a tiny burst of sunshine to me. The tiniest thing, she couldn't have been over 5 ft. tall. I was always amazed at how this tiny woman could give birth to so many big old boys. She was cheerful, and always spent her time doting on everyone else. The pinky finger of one of her hands was whole, but always curled up (permanently), and I was fascinated by that. Their house was very small, and made from cinder blocks. It had a kitchen, a living room, and two bedrooms with a bathroom between them. She washed her clothes on the back porch, and had chairs on the front porch, where she and Harley spent a great deal of time. She was a cooking machine, and always had food for all. Her biscuits and Watermelon rind preserves were to die for. While I loved her a great deal, I regret that I did not live close enough to know her better.

Notes for WALTER LOYAL DOUGLAS:
       Loyal Douglas was born in Alma, GA on September 10, 1907, to Dillard Daniel Douglas and Irabelle Nelson. He left his home when he was just a young teenager, and worked in the Everglades, eventually travelling to Savannah, GA, where he got a job as a meat cutter. In Savannah, he met and married Anna Cynthia Green, the last child born to Jim and Amanda Green. Anna had been born in Savannah. She and Loyal were married March 11, 1928, and they soon moved to Jacksonville, FLA, where their two daughters were born.
       In 1940, Loyal moved his family back to Savannah, GA, and he found a job working for Rogers Brothers Grocery as Mgr. of the Meat Market portion of the store. After WWII began, Loyal went to work in the Southeastern Shipyards as a Shipfitter. When his daughter, JoAnne, was 12 years old, Anna gave birth to a son they named Daniel Delville. The pregnacy was hard on both the mother and child, and Daniel Delville lived only 17 hours. Anna soon succombed to Eclampsia and Toxemia poisoning from the pregnancy as well as other complications, and died on June 18, 1943. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville FLA, and was only 31 years old.
       Eleven months later, Loyal met and married Bertie Colleen Hesters, dau of Washington Colquitt Hesters and Stella Shannon. They married on May 11, 1944, and soon had three sons to add to their family. Eventually Loyal and Collen moved their family to Jacksonville, FLA, and they were divorced there in 1952.
       April 5, 1953, Loyal married Vida Daniels, dau. of William Wesley Daniels and Cindy Boatright. Vida was divorced from Charle Benjamin Leggett, and had two daughters to support. Loyal had possession of his 3 sons from Colleen, and Vida soon became their mother-figure. The boys always called her 'Mother', and referred to Colleen by her new name, Connie. In turn, Loyal became a wonderful step-father for Vida's girls. He loved them, cared for them, and they began to call him Daddy. At Wanda's request, and Loyal's happy consent, he adopted Wanda as his own in 1968. In 1969, Wanda married Robert Earl Sass in Douglas Chapel, Alma GA, using her new last name - Douglas. Loyal proudly walked her down the aisle, and gave her away.
       On December 29, 1969 Loyal had his first heart attack. Due to stomach ulcers, he had retired from the Meat-cutting trade, and lived peacefully in Alma doing simple gardening. His health was slowly getting worse. In 1985, doctors discovered a lump under his left arm the was diagnosed as cancerous. They debated several times whether it was or wasn't, but eventually began radiation treatments in St. Augustine FLA. The tumor disapated, then returned. Loyal was also having problems with his eyes, and soon had implants put in. Once he could see again, he was sure he was getting well.
       Shortly before his 79th birthday, he was admitted to Bacon County Hospital because of dehydration and pain. In just a few days, Loyal had died. His youngest son, Danny, was with him at the time. Loyal is buried in the Douglas Chapel Cemetery in Alma, GA along with many of his ancestors who settled the area, and established the Church. The Lord is with him, now.
