  • Juanita Black - social activist, her husband was the first state trooper killed in line of duty[1]
  • E.D. Huguenin, cotton broker and a pecan farmer, namesake of Huguenin Heights neighborhood
  • Woolfolk murders was the largest mass murder in Georgia history, an entire family murdered on August 6, 1887. This "most infamous" crime has a New Georgia Encyclopedia article. Victims are buried in Rose Hill. Add'l sources: more details at UGA and a WMAZ news story from Feb 2018 The New York Times ran this story on the front page: "Nine Persons Murdered - A Young Man Charged with Killing His Father and Family". New York Times. Vol. XXXVI, no. 11211. August 7, 1887. p. 1. Retrieved October 29, 2018. (Krelnik has a capture of the 4 paragraph story for those without access).
  • Curran R. Ellis - architect, a distant relative of Ellamae Ellis League who also worked in Macon. Aside from inbound links from 2 NRHP buildings, also a few demolished buildings in Valdosta here and here. Macon Telegraph definitely has his ads, articles mentioning him search: [3]
  • Also see the List of NRHP properties for Bibb County, those articles are easy to stub out and then enhance using library resources to add color and detail that's not in the dry NRHP documents.
  • WikiProject Georgia maintains a List of New Georgia Encyclopedia articles linking them to their wiki articles. This is a good source of redlinks that you know you're going to have at least one good source to work from at the NGE.
  • Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame was just created this month, lots of redlinks here and if you visit the Museum of Aviation after there may be photo opportunities related to these people, as the Hall of Fame is based there.
