Encyclopedia of Alabama: Chilton County

In 1902, Jefferson Manly Faulkner, a Montgomery lawyer and Confederate veteran, donated 80 acres of his own land in southeastern Chilton County as the site for the Alabama Confederate Soldiers Home. The retirement community consisted of a 22-building complex that included a 25-bed hospital. At its peak, the home housed more than 100 people. The area now serves as Confederate Memorial Park. In post-World War II years Chilton County emerged as the principle peach growing area in the state, a status it continues to hold. After a particularly large crop, the town of Thornsby held the first Peach Festival in 1947. The festival moved to Clanton in 1952, where it continues to be celebrated.

John Browning – Arkansas Gazette, Obituary 1944

From: Cindy Stamps

Obituary of John Browning from The Arkansas Gazette, 19 June, 1844, p.

3, col. 1, found at the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives,

Washington, Arkansas; copied by hand, as there was no printer.

Died at his residence, Walnut Grove, Clark County, Arkansas, John

Browning in his 77th year. He was born in Caswell County, North

Carolina, on the 17th day of May, A. D. 1767; married at the age of 25

years; joined the Baptist Church at the age of 35, at Shiloh, Greene

County, Georgia; three months afterward was ordained deacon of the

church, the duties of which office he faithfully discharged during the

remainder of his pilgrimage on earth. At the age of 46, he entered the

army of General Floyd in the Creek Indian War as Captain of a volunteer

company. He performed an active part in the battles of Autasee and

Colebee. In the latter he had the honor of bleeding for his

country. In 1814, he was a member of the legislature of Georgia. In

1819, he removed to Alabama; in 1822, was a member of the legislature

of that state. He has been a member of 34 associations and more than

once moderator. In 1840, he emigrated to Arkansas, where he died 3 May

1844–a member of the Baptist Church at Mt. Bethel. The subject of this

notice was brought up in the distressing times of the American

Revolution. Consequently, he had not the advantages of a liberal

education; yet, his superiority of mind enabled him to discharge high

and important offices, in both church and state. He was of a lively and

cheerful disposition; always seemed desirous of making those happy

about him; plain in his manner; as a citizen, patriotic; as a neighbor,

obliging; as a parent, kind and indulgent; and as a companion, very

affectionate. He has left a companion, several children, and numerous

relations and friends to mourn the loss of so good a man. But one great

consolation they have, he died as he lived, in peace with mankind and

with his Maker. He has fulfilled the great end of his being and gone

hence to adorn the shiny courts of heaven.

“Softly his fainting head he lay

Upon his Saviour’s breast;

His Maker soothed his soul away,

And laid his flesh to rest.”
