To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Atlanta, we will be offering historical stories and photos each week throughout 2022. These articles were researched using various sources in the Atlanta Public Library and old copies of the newspaper.
The agony is merciless. The pain cuts deep. Deeper and more vicious than anyone can imagine when you lose a child. Unfortunately, hun’dreds of parents have had to endure this nightmare after losing their teens in car crashes in which they weren’t wearing their seat belts.
Texas State Society U.S. Daughters of 1812 Corresponding Secretary Lorie Sullivan Williams was the special guest at the January meeting of Mark Epperson Chapter U.S. Daughters of 1812. She presented an educational, informative, and interesting program on the Battle of the River Raisin, which occurred south of Detroit in the War of 1812. Sunday, January 23, the date of her program, was the anniversary of this battle which resulted in the deaths of many of the Kentucky volunteers who fought there. One survivor was the ancestor of Mark Epperson Chapter member Sue Lazara. “Remember the Raisin” became a rallying battle cry for the American soldiers for the remainder of the war. In addition to her Power Point, she displayed a large selection of books on the Battle of the River Raisin as well as information on militiamen from Kentucky.
