Wiley Crawford Barber
Judge Wiley Crawford Barber, the oldest son of Allen and Frances H.
(Crawford) Barber, born 7 July 1820, in Clarke County, Georgia, Wiley
got an education early in life and was a school teacher at the age of
twenty, teaching school in Van Wert, Georgia, later becoming a Judge. He
was appointed as a member of the Polk County Board of Educaton on 30
January 1871 by Governor Rufus B. Bulloch.96 Here is a picture of his house
Wiley's father, Allen Barber, apparently did not own horses, as Wiley
frequently rented a horse from the Eagle Tavern in Watkinsville, Georgia,
where his parents lived. Wiley visited the tavern regularly, buying
drinks for friends and himself at the age of 17, and always buying
cigars.97
Judge Barber donated the land in Rockmart, Georgia that the Piedmont
Institute was built on. The Judge had cleared the land himself.98 There
was a Wiley C. Barber School in Chambers County, Alabama in 1844. It is
believed that this was the school of Wiley Crawford Barber, as his first
two children were born in Alabama, and his father lived in nearby
Talladega County in those years. Wiley was back in Georgia by
1847.99
Wiley C. Barber married Louisa C. Casey 8 April 1840 in Paulding
County, Georgia. Van Wert was the original county seat of Paulding
County. When Polk County was formed, Van Wert was put in Polk
County.100
Judge Wiley Barber's home in Mississippi was called "Lilly of the Valley"
(Near Natchez).

Barber was a native of Georgia, born in 1800, and was a mechanic, but
for the better part of his life was engaged in agriculture. W. C.

followed about three years, after which he followed various pursuits,
as detailed in the sketch of James R. Barber, given below, eventually
settling in Polk County, where he now resides, devoting his attention
to farming, trading and real estate. He also has a large plantation
in Jefferson and Claiborne counties, Miss., and extensive iron ore

Article about James Russell Barber, written about 1891
James R. Barber, secretary of the Cherokee Iron Company, at
Cedartown, Ga., was born in Talladega County, Ala., September 24,
1846, and is a son of W. C. and Louisa C. (Casey) Barber. W. C.
Barber had his nativity in Clarke County, Ga., July 7, 1820, and was
reared a farmer. He received a good education and for three years
taught school in what is now Polk County, Ga. In 1846 he went to
Goldville, Ala., and for about two years engaged in gold mining;
then returned to Polk County, Ga., where he farmed for one year, and
again taught school two years. In 1857 he removed to Bartow County,
where he was placed in charge of the Allatoona Iron Furnace, which
he managed one year, turning out pig iron and making castings. He
next passed a year at the Upper Stamp Creek Iron Furnace, as store
and bookkeeper, and was then made manager of the Allatoona Furnace,
and remained in charge three years. His next venture was at the
Allatoona gold mines, of which he had the management for two years,
from which point he moved to Cartersville and for three years was a
merchant, and then moved to Polk County, Ga., where he has since
resided, devoting his time to trading in real estate and to the
cultivation of the soil. He is a gentleman of considerable
prominence in his comunity, and his large experience is frequently
called into exercise by his neighbors when wise counsel is desired.
His father was Allen Barber, who married Fannie Crawford. Allen
Barber was a native of Virginia, born in 1800, and was a son of
James Barber, a mechanic, but who devoted the greater part of his
life to agricultural pursuits. Louisa C. (Casey) Barber was born in
Morgan County, Ga., and was a daughter of Henry Casey. Of her
children there are two living -- Mrs. Fannie G. Ford, and James R.,
whose name heads this sketch. James R. Barber was brought by his
parents to Georgia during his infancy. He received a good education,
and in 1866 commenced clerking in a store, followed that vocation
about eighteen months, and then read law with Blance & Thompson. In
1868 he was admitted to the bar, and followed the practice of his
profession about three years. He then engaged in mercantile pursuits
until 1875, when he resumed the law and practiced until 1878, at
which time he became bookkeeper for the Cherokee Iron Company at
Cedartown. In 1879 he was elected secretary of the company, and
still holds that position. Mr. Barber has held several other
positions of honor and trust. He was tax collector of Polk County in
1871, and has served one term as mayor of Cedartown; he was also one
term reporter for the Rome circuit court, and in 1884 was appointed
secretary and treasurer of the East and West Alabama Railroad
Company, which position he held until the road was sold in 1887. The
Cherokee Iron Company, of which Mr.. Barber is the present
secretary, is owned by four gentlemen, to wit: Messrs. W. C.
[Barber], Edward F. and J. Hull Browning, of New York, and A.Y.
West, of Cedartown, Ga. The capital stock is $350,000, and the
employes number 200. Mr. Barber was married November 16, 1869, to
Miss Mary L. Wood, of De Kalb County, Ga., a daughter of Charles H.
and Evalin (Wilson) Wood. Mr. and Mrs. Barber are members of the
Methodist Church, while he is an enthusiastic Mason, having
been three times master of Caledonia Lodge, No. 121, and having
represented it three times in grand lodge. He is also present high
priest of Adoniram Chapter, No. 41, and a member of Coeur de Leon
Commandery, Nox. 4, at Atlanta, Ga.
