In case the message below totally confused you, I sent it to the wrong list.
In 1837 in Muscogee County, GA a factory was built that went by several
official names through out it's life. The residents of Columbus always
referred to it as Clapp Factory because one of owners was named Julius R.
CLAPP.
Clapp Factory was the first manufacturing in our area and the 2nd one in the
state of GA. The original factory was burned in the last battle of the
Civil War by Union soldiers - the war was officially over when this
happened. Soon after the war an African-American by the name of Horace King
was responsible for rebuilding the factory. The factory was closed in the
late 1800's and burned to the ground in 1910.
That area was purchased by what is called GA Power today. The Julius R.
CLAPP lived in on a hill overlooking the river, factory, cemetery and
village. That area now is North Columbus Water Resource Facility (north
filter plant) for Columbus Water Works. The city of Columbus along with
Georgia Power and Columbus Water Works built a River Walk that runs beside
what is left of that factory cemetery. What was a 23 acre cemetery is now
less than 2 acres. There is one complete marker left and 3 pieces of
another one.
I know that some of you have searched for your ancestors and couldn't locate
where they were buried. If this has happened in one location, I'm sure it's
happened in others.
None of the CLAPP family was buried at the cemetery. They were buried in
town at Linwood Cemetery.
If any of you have CLAPP ancestors who lived in Columbus (Muscogee County)
GA in the 1800's, we're also trying gather info on your ancestors. We want
to tell the story of the owners and workers who braved the wild frontier of
GA to provide services to a new community and way of life.

Today as I was waiting for the elevator at work (Columbus Water Works -
accounting) one of the senior offices looked over at my bag of cans. He
ask, "do you save cans?"
My answer was "Yes, for my cemetery."
"What cemetery is that?" he ask.
"Oh one you probably haven't heard of as it's a historic cemetery - it's the
Clapp Factory Cemetery."
"Oh yeah, I know about it.", he said.
"Where's it located?"
"Off the River walk by Oliver."
I told him "most people have never heard of it."
This is the part that blew me away and will some of you.
"When I came here in 1979, I met with some of the officials from Georgia
Power. We talked about the cemetery. They told me they had moved some of
the head stones for historic preservation. They had also moved many of the
bodies to protect them."
That blows me away that the officials back then would say that and the ones
today we didn't know there was a cemetery located there. No wonder THEIR
archeologists couldn't find anything - especially when they were probably
pointed in the direction where the officials knew there wasn't a body.
Does anyone know someone who could help us with research at Georgia Power?
If they really "moved the head stones for historic preservation" what a
better way to preserve them than return them to where they belong? Not now,
maybe later when we have things protected. Even if they wouldn't return
them, allow us to photograph them. My true feelings are those markers are
part of a roadway, in a land field or destroyed.
