295     LOLLIE GRACE 6 SORRELLS (Thomas W. 5, Wm. Benjamin 4, Wiley 3, William2, Richard), born 4 March 1896, Walton County; died 22 November 1963, Atlanta.  She married ANDREW VINSON HAMILTON (b. 23 May 1897, Cobb Co; d. 21 Jan. 1977, Atlanta), son of Jane Boatner and John Milton Hamilton, on 2 April 1916, Gwinnett County.  Grace and Andrew are buried in Bethesda Methodist Churchyard, Gwinnett County.

Grace went to school at Gloster, and later to Lawrenceville High School.  She taught school at Lawrenceville before moving to Atlanta about 1920, where Andrew was a bus driver for over forty years.  Farming was always in Andrew's blood.  He had quite a few acres of farmland in Gwinnett County on which he raised crops and had horses.  He would go there and work every time he had the chance.

The following is her obituary from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

    Funeral services for Mrs. A.V. Hamilton, 67, of 1113 Glenwood Ave., S.E. were held in Martha Brown Memorial Methodist Church Saturday.  Dr. J.W. Chidsey and Dr. J.W. Veatch Sr. officiated.  Burial was in Bethesda Methodist Church Cemetery near Lawrenceville. Mrs. Hamilton died at her home Friday.

 The former Grace Sorrells and a native of Gwinnett County, she moved to Atlanta about 45 years ago.  She was a member of Martha Brown Memorial Methodist Church.

Surviving are her widower, Andrew Hamilton; daughter, Mrs. L.C. Shields; son, Noble V. Hamilton, all of Atlanta; sisters, Mrs. Bush Hamilton, Mrs. DeWitt Wofford and Mrs. Cecil Williford, all of Atlanta, and Mrs. Verda Cain of Laurence Harbor, NJ;  Brothers, T. Courtland Sorrells of Atlanta, and Benjamin Sorrells of Long Beach, California.

296      BUSH LADELLE SORRELLS 6 (Thomas W.5, Wm. Benjamin 4, Wiley 3, William2, Richard),  born 9 July 1898, Gwinnett County; m. WILLIAM HOWARD HAMILTON (b. 1 Aug. 1894, Cobb Co; d. 4 May 1953, Atlanta), on 4 July 1915, Gwinnett County.  He is buried in Bethesda Methodist Cemetery, and was the brother of Andrew Vinson Hamilton.

Bush went to school in Bethesda Community.  When she and Will first married, they farmed for a few years in Gwinnett County.  In 1921 they moved to Atlanta, where Will was a maintenance man for Atlantic Ice and Coal Company.

Will and Bush were the witnesses to the marriage of Verda Estelle Sorrells (298), and John Rufus Cain on 7 August 1921, Gwinnett County.  Bush was a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Atlanta, and was always active in the church.  She still lived  in the same house in Atlanta from  1921 until she died 24 October 1987.  Some things never change, and one can remember many good times in that house.  Bush was always interested in the family history and collected much valuable data over the years.  This helped the compiler, her niece, greatly.

297     MARGIE PEARL 6 SORRELLS  (Thomas W. 5, Wm.  Benjamin 4, Wiley3, William2, Richard), born 13 December 1900, Gwinnett County.  She married (1) ERNEST DEWITT WOFFORD (b. 26 Sept. 1899, Forsyth Co. Ga; d. 26 Sept. 1965, Atlanta), son of Dixie Blackstock and Truman J. Wofford, on 25 September 1921.  DeWitt was a carpenter; buried in West View Cemetery in Atlanta.

Pearl attended Bethesda School  then taught school in Gwinnett County in 1917.  She attended A & M School, Monroe, Georgia, graduating in 1921 with the highest honors.  She then married DeWitt and they moved to Atlanta in 1921. They lived in the West End section of Atlanta for a long time, and I would see them regularly, because I attended Joe Brown Junior High in West End and lived with my sister to help her out during the week since she was sick for a long time.

In 1950, my mother and I moved into the other side of the same house with DeWitt, Pearl, and Ben, their son.  I took my first job across the street, Blackwell's Grocery, from their house.  It was a Mom and Pop grocery store, and I learned a lot there from Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell.

Aunt Pearl was a sweet dispositioned, pleasant woman who was very Godly in her life.  She taught these ideals and values to her children and also to me.  She was so devoted to her faith that she was an inspiration to others, and she lived by her faith.

Pearl married (2) HARTWELL YOUNG ALLGOOD (b. 22 Mar: 1889; d. 8 Nov. 1985) on 24 April 1970.  Mr Allgood was a retired car mechanic and also worked some years as a grounds man for Ramada Inn, Chamblee, Georgia.  Mr. Allgood had children and grandchildren by  his first marriage. He and Pearl lived in Atlanta and were members of the Assembly of God church.
