Upper Carolina, besides large interests in real estate. Children: Mamie Elise, Harold Theodore, James RorI, Julian Earl and Mildred.

Mamie Elise finished the graded school at fifteen and entered college this year, 1906.

Mary, daughter of Drewry Hearne, and twin with Sarah, born 1827, married Ransom Bledsoe. They have only one child, John, who is a noble young man, living with his parents on the old Drewry Hearne homestead, and has recently married.

Since this was written I learn that all these children of Drewry Hearne are by his second wife, and that by his first wife he had a daughter, Martha, who married a Mr. Barlow, and raised a family in Butler Co., Ga., near Indian Springs.

Annie Lue, 9; Janhes Mims, 6; and Ester Lee, 3 years of age. For this history of Drewry Hearne and his descendants, I am indebted to his grandson Bryant L. Hearn of Atlanta, Ga., who is an ardent lover of the name Hearn, and Hearne, and was industrious in hunting up records for me and is an enthusiast in the work.
