L-R, Young Ray (Ragsdale) Stevens playing a piano in an Albany Steak house in the mid 1950s, Wallingford Riegger in Germany in 1930, Everette and young Harry James circus photo in 1922.

 

A lot of famous people were either born in Albany or lived here including the “three Rays” (Charles, Stevens and Knight). Albany has been home at one time or another to many actors/actresses, singers, artists, athletes and composers.

Singer and composer Ray Charles (Robinson) was born in Albany in 1930, the family moved to Greenville, Florida while Charles was still a child. Charles did not go completely blind until the age of seven. He attended the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind where he was taught to play classical piano. He soon discovered a preference for jazz and the blues and went on to become internationally famous. Charles did not forget his birthplace and even left a sizeable sum of money to Albany State University upon his death.

VINTAGE ALBANY: A History Timeline

– June 11, 2012Posted in: Headlines, Vintage Albany

Top: the Bridge House/Tift Hall after it became Keenan Auto, Bottom: Carnegie Library and the bridge that replaced the burned Horace King Bridge.

1841- Albany gets its first newspaper, The Southwest Georgian, later renamed The Courier. The paper went out of business in 1849. By 1845 Nelson Tift and a business partner had started the second newspaper, The Albany Patriot. Also in 1845, Albany got stagecoach service. The stage would come through Albany three times a week to and from Macon and Bainbridge.

 

1845- The Albany Patriot, a newspaper owned by Nelson Tift reported that Albany had finally reached a population of 1,000, 200 homes, 16 stores, three hotels, two printing offices, one academy, two private schools, one Methodist Church, one Episcopal Church about to be built, and one Baptist Church in the process of being constructed. Albany also had one steam saw and grist mill. This was all nine years after Albany was founded by Nelson Tift and only seven years after it was established by the state as a city.

 

1857- Albany got its first railroad service. Also the Bridge House was built by Nelson Tift using mostly slave labor. The upstairs had a gathering room and a stage and was used for plays, musicals, balls and more. The building was called “Tift Hall” and ads ran in the newspapers all over Georgia about what entertainment was to be held there. An actress that had appeared in the play the President Lincoln saw at Ford’s Theater the day he was shot was reputed to have once performed in Albany at the old Tift Hall. Later during the 1860’s, the cellar of the old Bridge House was used as a pickling and meat packing facility to supply the confederacy with food. Wagons literally passed through the lower floor of the Bridge House to reach the ferry that crossed the Flint River, soon to be replaced in 1858 with Albany’s first bridge. The bridge was built by the master bridge builder Horace King. King, part Negro, part Native American, had been born a slave and had managed to buy his own freedom. King was considered the best bridge builder in the south at that time. The bridge Tift had King built was a wooden covered toll bridge with open lattice sides. It came right up to the rear of the Bridge House.  According to the History and Reminiscences of Dougherty County, after a few years people became angry over paying a toll to cross the river and someone set fire to the bridge. Another covered wooden bridge with enclosed sides, had to be quickly rebuilt and then was sold to the county at a low price of $20,000.

 

1905-Carnegie Library is built. In 1962, some African American students attempt to use the then all-white library and are observed by the police. No one was arrested in this attempt to test the segregation laws in place at that time.   The Carnegie Library has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior and is currently in use by the Art Coalition here.

 

1916- The Albany Municipal Auditorium is built to replace the old wooden Chautauqua. Over the years it is host to some of the most talented of the music world, the stage and television including an Irving Berlin musical road show in the 1920’s.  In the 1950’s and 1960’s Telethons were held in the auditorium. These telethons attracted some of Hollywood’s biggest stars to Albany, including most of the cast of Bonanza, Wagon Train, The Virginian and even starlet Jayne Mansfield among many others. The auditorium was abandoned in 1972 and stood vacant for many years. Restoration was started in 1986 and later reopened for events. Today the beautifully restored auditorium continues to host the Albany Symphony Orchestra and special performances by the Albany Ballet and Theatre Albany as well as outside artists and events. The auditorium is listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

VINTAGE ALBANY-AHS Football Champs of 1959

– June 4, 2012Posted in: Headlines, Vintage Albany


High school football was always a favorite in Albany. Perhaps one of the highlights of football here occurred with the Albany High Indians Football season of 1959. The team was coached by John Tillitski, Pat Field and Bob Fowler and Graham Lowe was also on the coaching staff. The team included many names well-known to people in Albany such as Jerry Doyal, Marshal Tanner, twins Richard and Robert Creel, Eddie Ogletree as well as many others. Some of the team members even went on to be inducted into the Albany Sports Hall of Fame.

The boys that made up the 1959 Indians had all known each other since they were small children and had started out playing midget football together. They were not only a team but were close childhood friends.

The team had enjoyed a huge pep rally in the AHS gym after winning the South Georgia Championship. The Marietta team they were to play next had enjoyed an even better season and was expected to win the game easily. WALB had reportedly wanted to travel to Marietta and televise the game but had been denied the right to do so by Marietta. Football fever was high, friendly bets between the two cities were being made.

The Indians had beat many fine teams on their way to the championship, including a huge rival, Valdosta. Despite the fact that the team had won every game that season, the Atlanta newspapers had predicted that Marietta would beat Albany. Atlanta Journal columnist Furman Bisher had predicted Marietta would win by 20 to zero in the championship game. The game was played almost entirely in a hard rain. It rained so hard that the band had to put their drums back on the bus to keep them intact. The Atlanta newspapers had gotten the right score but it was Albany that soundly beat Marietta and won the State AAA Championship that night.

On the way home the team bus broke down but the jubilant team, cheerleaders, band and coaches were too happy to care. Albany threw a huge parade for the returning team. Thousands of people showed up to cheer on the champs. The Mayor of Marietta, the good-natured loser of a bet, had to push the Mayor of Albany in a wheelbarrow in the parade. Albany’s Mayor Jim Porter Watkins was decked out in an Indian Headdress for the occasion.  The entire team and the coaches were led to the steps of city hall where Mayor Watkins presented the key to the City to team; it was accepted by team Co-Captain Robert Creel. The winning football season of 1959 is one that is still talked about fondly today.

In God we trust

– June 3, 2012Posted in: Government, Headlines

 

 

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”  – President Ronald Reagan

As we celebrated this Memorial Day weekend, many of us enjoyed some time off- maybe a cookout or trip to the beach or just a relaxing day at home.  But how many of us took time to celebrate what Memorial Day is truly about?

Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.

May 30th was chosen as the day for Decoration Day, because flowers would be in bloom all over the country at that time and what would become known as Memorial Day was first celebrated on May 30, 1868.  It was initially observed by placing flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers.

During that first celebration, General and future President James A. Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which around 5,000 participants helped to decorate the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who were buried there.

In 1971 Memorial Day was declared a federal holiday and at 3PM local time, Americans are encouraged to pause for a moment of silence or listen to “Taps.”

Red Poppies are recognized as the Memorial Day flower and in 1915, inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” University of Georgia professor Moina Michael, who lived in Walton County, Georgia, wrote her own poem:

We cherish too, the Poppy red                                                                                                                                         That grows on fields where valor led                                                                                                                                                                                           It seems to signal to the skies                                                                                                                                                                                 That blood of heroes never dies.

Professor Michael conceived the idea of covering World War I battlefields with red poppies and the Georgia General Assembly later named US 78 as the Moina Michael Highway in her honor.

Just as we sometimes forget the true meaning of Memorial Day, we often forget that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs and a strong faith in God.

Recognizing this, the Georgia General Assembly, in the recently completed session, passed SB 293, requiring that all license plates, upon request, display the nation’s motto “In God We Trust.”

This makes Georgia one of only 16 states that incorporate “In God We Trust” onto their license plates.

When Francis Scott Key wrote what would eventually become the American national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” during the war of 1812, he wrote in the final stanza:

“And this be our motto: ’In God is our trust.’                                                                                                                                                                          And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave                                                                                                                                                                          O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Later the words were shortened to “In God We Trust” and in 1956, Congress passed a joint resolution to certify the nation’s motto as “In God We Trust.”  The resolution was signed into law on July 30, 1956 by President Eisenhower and first used on paper money in 1957 when it was added to the one-dollar silver certificate.  By 1966, “In God We Trust” as added to all paper money, from $1 to $100 denominations.

Brazil is the only other nation in the world that legally requires its currency to signify God or faith.  Its currency reads “God be Praised.”

License plates are not the only place that our national motto is used in the State of Georgia.  When our new state flag was created in 2003, it featured a square blue canton in the upper left hand corner.  In the center of the canton is a circle of 13 white stars, symbolizing Georgia and the other 12 original states that formed the United States of America.  Within the circle of stars is Georgia’s coat of arms immediately above the words “In God We Trust.”

Whether it be on license plates or on our state flag, the Georgia General Assembly has recognized the importance of our national motto and the principles from which our state and nation were founded.

In Georgia, as we fly our state flag and drive our cars, let us always remember that “In God We Trust.”

Staff Reports

 

Seattle, Washington is reeling today from the senseless tragedy that has claimed 6 lives so far after a gunman shot 5 people in a Seattle coffee shop,killing four of them, then one in an apparent carjacking. Many Albany residents are joining them today after learning that one of the reported victims, Kimberly Lynn Layfield, was from here.

Layfield graduated from Riverview Academy in 1992.  Among her classmates was Journal publisher Tom Knighton.

“I didn’t get the news last night.  I got it this morning and immediately broke down,” Knighton said. “Kim was a special person.  People say that a lot after a tragedy like this, but it’s really true with Kim.”
