Edwin Atkins of Milledgeville was in Barnesville recently for the Georgia Trust excursion and was trying to locate this home.
It was located in or around Barnesville, known as Roselawn and was the home of Walter K. Wilkinson, Atkins' great-grandfather. His grandmother, Helen Elizabeth Wilkinson, also lived there.
If you know where this home is or was, contact Atkins at 917.861.8024.

This looks like the house on Brent Rd on the right, right before Fredonia Church Rd.

The house on Brent road was moved to its present location in the 1980's from the corner of Brent and Fredonia roads. It faced Fredonia Church.
