Journey on - My Georgia roots go back to Cedar Springs, GA. I ran across a treasure chest of old photos depicting life in Cedar Springs, GA during the early 1900"s. My Great Grandfather Will Perry owned his own farm in this town. A General Farmer, he could not read or write as listed on the 1910 Federal Census. One of his son's George worked as a laborer on a "turpentine" farm.
