Samuel Stuart Bobo

M, ID# 16608, b. February 1854, d. 29 July 1921
  • Scrapbook*: "Washington, Ga. Jan. 26 [1907].—The marriage of Miss Clara Estelle Fortson and Mr. Samuel S. Bobo was one of much interest socially in this county, which was solemnized Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride’s parents in Tignall [Georgia]. Rev. J. H. Fortson, the bride’s father, was the celebrant. The home was beautiful in its dainty decorations for this occasion, which was witnessed by a large number of the closest friends of the contracting parties."5
  • Obituary*: "WASHINGTON, Ga., July 29 [1921]—Sam S. Bobo, one of the most prosperous farmers of Wilkes county, died suddenly this morning at his home in Tignall, eleven miles north of this city. Mr. Bobo had been in ill health for several months and recently returned from Atlanta, where he had been under treatment. He is survived by his wife and several children. He was in his fifty-fifth year."8
  • Note*: His grave marker appears to give 29 Feb 1854 as his birth date, but that date did not exist. His obituary says he was "in his fifty-fifth year" when he died on 29 Jul 1921, but that would place his birth in about 1867.9,7
