People From Oglethorpe County, Georgia
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural ...

Joseph Henry Lumpkin House
The Joseph Henry Lumpkin House was built in the 1830s, and purchased by its namesake, the first chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, in 1842. Early history Built in the 1830s by Charles H. McKinley, the house was originally a much smaller structure. Lumpkin purchased the home around 1842, and in 1850 undertook extensive renovations, when the house was nearly doubled in size. The renovations included a new front, constructed in the historic Greek Revival style, which was altered to face south from the original west facing orientation. At that time, the house sat nearly 400 feet back from Prince Avenue. Lumpkin resided in the home until his death in 1867. After Lumpkin, the house was the site of ''Madame Sosnowski’s Female Institute'', offering young women instruction in German, French, and music. The institute was closed in 1899, with the death of Madame Sosnowski. In 1906, as the city of Athens expanded and land within the city limits became more dear, the house was ...
