SCHLEY COUNTY
Henry Harrison Singletary, merchant-planter, La Crosse, Schley county, Ga., son of Nathan P. and Cassandra (Wright) Singletary, was born in Sumter county, Feb. 4, 1841. His grandfather, Thomas W. Singletary, was a native of South Carolina, came to Georgia when a young man and became
identified with the leading planters of Georgia. Mr. Singletary’s father was born in Laurens county, Ga., removed to Taliaferro county, Ga., and in 1836 came to Sumter county. Being a skilled mechanic he engaged in various kinds of woodwork, and helped to build a number of boats to run on the Ocmulgee river. Later in life he gave his entire time and attention to his plantation. His only public service was as a justice of the inferior court. Mr. Singletary was raised on the plantation and was educated at the common schools of the county. Early in 1862 he enlisted in Company B, Capt. J.C. Dunlap, Forty-sixth Georgia regiment, as a private, and served through the war. He was in the battles of Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Kennesaw Mountain, Jonesboro, Nashville and
Franklin. He came home from the war with only a few slight wounds as souvenirs, and without a dollar in the world went to work on a plantation. By close attention, hard work, by enterprise and good management he has forged ahead until he ranks among the foremost of Schley county’s farmers and businessmen. He has now more than 2,000 acres of choice land, which includes an excellent productive 100 acre peach orchard. In addition to his extensive planting interests he conducts one of the largest general merchandise stores in the county at La Crosse. Enterprising, prosperous and popular, Mr. Singletary has a bright future before him. Mr. Singletary has but two
children: Lydia C., and Cattie L., both of whom are graduates of the Southern Female College, La Grange, Ga.

DEATH OF JUDGE SINGLETARRY
Hon. Henry Singletarry, of LaCrosse, died in New York City last Friday morning whither he went a
week or so ago seeking medical treatment. An operation for throat trouble was performed on last
Tuesday and from that time on he gradually grew weaker and weaker. Mrs. Singletarry was notified
of his condition on last Thursday morning, and immediately started for New York, but when she
reached Atlanta, a telegram announcing his death was awaiting her. However, she continued her
journey on, returning home Monday morning on the same train, with Judge Singletarry's body. His was a very sad death indeed, and was a great shock. Judge Singletarry was one of Schley county's most influential citizens, and perhaps, the most successful businessman in the county. He started in life poor and by his energy and straight forward business methods he had accumulated a nice little fortune, when the sad end came. His estate will amount to something like seventy five thousand dollars, which was divided between his widow, daughter, and grandchildren. His daughter, Mrs. Edwin Bell, being named Executrix of his estate. Funeral services were conducted from his home, at LaCrosse, Monday morning, Rev. W.K. Dennis officiating, a large company of friends were present to witness the ceremony. His body was laid to rest in the Ellaville cemetery.
Schley Co. marriage records indicate two marriages.
