  !BIRTH-MARRIAGE-DEATH: "Thomas Powell..." At about age 25 he started thestudy of medicine under the watchful eye of his near relative Dr. WillisWillingham. He graduated from the GA Medical College, Augusta in 1848. He attended Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia and in 1850 received his diploma.After he completed his studies he settled at Harmony Grove, Jackson, GA. Heboarded with S.M. Shankle until his marriage. Dr. Hardman was appointed surgeon to administer to the suffering humanity in his district and the surrounding country during the war (1861-1865). Therefore he was exempt from actualservice. He contributed material aid and supplies to the soldiers. He practiced for nearly 30 years and then his son, L.G. who had received his diploma as a physician, became established in his practice. "Old Doctor" began givingup his practice and became a preacher. He had converted in 1846 and was baptizedat Clouds Creek Baptist Church in Oglethorpe in 1848 by pastor Peter Patrick Butler. Later a baptist church was established at Harmony Grove. "Old Doctor" was ordained Sunday 22 Nov 1874 at the age of 52, as pastor of the new church. By 1878 he had turned over all his medical practice to his son Dr. Lam and devoted all his time to preaching and doing the work of thelord. He was very active and preached at a number of churches in the area. His ministry covered a period of nearly 30 years. The last 5 years of hislife he retired yet continued to preach within months of his death. (The familywere patrons of the Baptist Church at Black's Creek at the time of Henry'sbirth.) "Old Doctor" was of medium height and size - 5'10" and abt 150 pounds. Hehad gray eyes, dark hair, becoming gray at 60 years. He had a dark complexionand had little resemblance to his father, Elbert, who was 6'2" muscular andlight complexion. He actually seemed to take after the Barnett side. His motherwas short about 5'4" rather fleshy and with dark hair and complexion. Submitted by Caroline W.Chapman McGowan, CMS 894, and others. Updated Oct. 2000.
