In an interview for the Douglas, GA "Enterprise" of March 7, 1963, Henry Vickers, their son [Sarah's] stated: ..."Pa really had the faith & stood by his principles.I've known him to ride a horse to the Alapaha River and swim it during the flood stages to get to a church for preaching. ... My mother was a miracle too.I remember her washing with a batting stick, and feeding fifteen members of the family at one time on a turn table.Each year she would make the boys two pants and two shirts out of jean cloth & hickory stripe. ... Of course, when the "big meeting was held each year nearly everyone stayed overnight and ate at our house.I've seen as many as 105 here at one time."

Notes for Wiley Vickers:
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE dated 07 March 1990:
There was a time, between the early to mid 1900's, when Mora, Georgia was busy place.But, the real story of this sleepy little hamlet is the story of one man's dreams that never quite came true.That man was Wiley Vickers, a grandson & namesake of one of Coffee County's pioneer settlers, Wiley Vickers, 1st.
Wiley Vickers grew up in Coffee County's Hebron Community.He served in the Confederate Army and later became one of the early landowners in the southeast section of Coffee County.From all accounts, he sought ways to try and bring growth and progress to his community.In the early 1900's, when the railroad was completed between Madison, Florida and Augusta, Georgia, the tracks ran through a section of his property.According to one of Mora's oldest residents, "He then envisioned a town there".He even went as far as to hire a surveyor to draw up a plat sectioning off several acres of his farm and timber land into town blocks and residential streets.The town he had hoped for never grew beyond a hamlet, named Mora, with a few stores and shops alongside the Georgia & Florida Railroad tracks and about 85 dwellings scattered over several acres of surrounding farmland.

"WILLIE VICKERS - THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
When Gen. Robert E. Lee, Commander of the Army of Northern VA., surrendered his hungery, ragged, depleted troops at Appomattox Courthouse on April 09, 1865, a young Coffee Countain was among those surviving.He was William Marshall "Willie" Vickers, the 21 year old grandson of Wiley Vickers who first settled in the area now known as Coffee County.
Nearly three years earlier, when the 61st GA Regiment arrived in Virginia, they were more than 1,000 strong.Willie Vickers was among the only 81 from the Regiment that left the ditches at Petersburg and the 49 armed and in the line at the Appomattox surrender.
In August 1861, the same month Willie Vickers turned 18 years of age, he was mustered into the Confederate service at the junction on the Augusta and Savannah Railroad, Eden, Ga., No. 2.. Known at first as the Seventh GA Battalion, Willie Vickers was a member of the unit's Company A, known as the "Irwin Cowboys", from Irwin County, GA.. Other companies in the seven-company battalion were the Tattnall Rangers from Tattnall County, Brooks Rifles from Brooks County, Montgomery Sharpshooters from Montgomery County, Wiregrass Rifles from Quitman County, and the Wilkes Guards from Wilkes County.
Armed with the best Enfield rifles, these seven companies were ordered to Jekyll Island "where they had to work very hard building a fort, and fighting sand flies and mosquitoes, and drilling siege artillery, and company and battalion drill with small arms".after completing construction of the fort, Private Willie Vickers and fellow troops were transferred to Camp Bethesda some 100 miles south of Savannah where the battalion was well drilled, and two companies, The Tattnall Volunteers from Tattnall County and the Thompson Guards from the city of Macon, were added.
The nine companies transferred on May 20, 1862 to Charleston, SC., where Company K was formed by volunteers from the different companies in the battalion.The Seventh Georgia Battalion, with 10 companies and some 1,000 men then became known as the 61st Georgia Regiment.On June 2, three years of fighting in some of the Civil War's most historic battles such as: Chancellor, Gettysburg, and Petersburg.Willie Vickers was wounded during one of the battles and was sent to a hospital in Richmond for treatment.After his recovery, he returned to the battlefield.
The 61st GA Regiment was a part of John B. Gordon's Brigade of 7,000, which numbered only 747 at the time of the surrender.In 1865, Company A of the GA 61st listed only seven survivors at the time of the surrender.Those left were: J. McDuffie, R.H. Henderson, William Branch, J. Branch, Henry Paulk, M. Hansel, and Willie Vickers.

Notes for Frances Pearl Lott:
Frances Lott Vickers was a much-loved, highly respected & affectionate wife and mother, and presided over the family home with dignity & grace.She was very short, kind of plump, with naturally curly black hair.She wasn't much of a talker, but she & Willie was good, kind souls and seemed to love everybody.
Anytime they heard of an orphan or destitude child, they took them in and raised them just as if they were their own children.Frances never complained about the extra work it put on her.It was as if she & Willie felt it was their duty to care for anyone they knew who was destitude or orphaned.

Marriage Notes for William Vickers and Frances Lott:
During the early years of marriage, home for Willie and Frances Vickers was a small log cabin built on their farm, presumably about 1866, 4-1/2 miles south of Douglas, just off the Pearson Highway.In 1890, or thereabouts, Willie built a handsome 2-story white frame home for his family, not far from the log cabin, both of which are still standing today and are the property of the Allen Ricketson family.

Notes for Eli S. Vickers, Jr.:
ELI VICKERS, JR.
1850 - 1919
The Pearson Tribune dated Feb. 28, 1919.The Tribune regrets to announce the death to the Hon. Eli Vickers whose home was about ten miles southwest of Douglas, on Thursday of last week.He was 68 years of age and was born and reared in Coffee County near where he lived at the time of his death.The cause was protracted paralysis.His widow, a large family of grown children as well as a number of brothers and sisters mourn his departure.Mr. Vickers was a spendid gentleman, of a jovial Sunshiny disposition and will be greatly missed in this community.He had been a useful citizen, and had served as Representative in the legislature.He was at one time President of the Bank of Willacoochee.He had acquired a considerable fortune to be divided among his heirs.
SOURCE: "Wiley Vickers, Pioneer of Coffee County, Ga." ... pg. 47-48
The Douglas Enterprise dated May 8, 1991, "Reflections & Recollections of K.D. Vickers" [grandson of Eli Vickers Jr.].K.D. Vickers has vague recollections of his grandfather, who he describes as a short, stout man, but, he said, " got a lot of old family stories from my daddy's brother, Dan, who lived with us most of his adult life".
Eli Vickers, Jr., was in the farming and turpentine business and a leading citizen of Coffee County in his day.A rough but modest estimate of his land holdings, at one time are said to have been at least 8,000 acres.His brothers were also large landowners with their land joining, at some point, that of one of the other brothers.Eli Vickers Jr., is believed to be the only one who had his own coins minted.The coins were minted in tin in lots of nickles, dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars.Printed on each coin was "ELI VICKERS & SON NAVAL STORE".There was no hard currency at that time and his turpentine and farm workers were paid with these coins.These coins were then used to purchase goods at the Eli Vickers Store, at businesses in Douglas, and any other stores where the coins were recognized.Mr. Vickers would later get the coins back by bartering some of the items he had such as hams and syrup.In other words, if a store owner had taken up $10 in coins, Mr. Vickers would trade him that amount in hams and syrup in exchange for the coins.[NOTE: Another descendant Kenneth M. Vickers related that after the rosin and farm products were sold for gold, the coins would be redeemed in gold or otherwise in products.]
At the turn of the century, a bank in Willacoochee would print a $5 bill and the president of the bank had to sign it, like the Secretary of the Treasury does now, and it would be good for legal tendre.My Granddaddy Eli was Chairman of the Board of the bank.But, he liked to go barefoot all the time at home and around the farm.One day, he went to a bank board meeting barefoot.When the meeting was over, one of the board members suggested, if Mr. Vickers was going to be Chairman of the Board, we're going to require him to wear shoes to the meetings.Eli Vickers, Jr., was, obviously, like many men of his day who were more concerned with "what they were, that what they wore."
