DR. JOHN GARTMAN - LINCOLN CO., MS
The following was extracted from "Lincoln County Mississippi, Its People 1875 - 1895, Vol. I;" comp. by Yvonne M. McGlothing, Brookhaven, MS, 1988:
Page 60:
Thursday, June 4, 1885: "Died - At his residence in this city on Saturday morning, May 30, 1885, Dr. John Gartman, aged 76 years. Dr. Gartman was a native of S.C. Attended medical school in Charleston and Philadelphia -- Removed to Mt. Carmel in Covington County -- In 1843 he removed to Pearl River and engaged in planting a few miles below Monticello. In 1858 he removed to Brookhaven --- Stricken with paralysis about four years ago. He loved intensely the home circle and was equally honored and loved by all the members of his family."
One of Dr. Gartman's children -- Sarah (Sallie) Gartman --was md. to Dr. Isaac Davis, son of Clement Davis, of Hinds Co., MS. They resided in Copiah County and had the following children: (1) Clement Davis, b. ca. 1860 (2) Annie Davis, b. ca. 1862 (3) Walter Davis, b. ca. 1868 (4) Edwin Davis, b. ca. 1875 (5) Mamie Davis, b. ca. 1877, md.

Mrs. Sallie (Gartman) Davis died May 31, 1884 and is buried in the Wesson Cemetery, Wesson, MS.
Page 184 of same reference: Thursday, Dec. 23, 1886, "Dr. Isaac Davis of Wesson has bought the Weathersby place near here and will soon move there."
Am seeking further information on Dr. Isaac Davis and the abovementioned children.
