Mr. Coddington,
You may want to check some of the local newspapers of the time period. Columbus has a paper and possibly you may even want to check the Macon paper. Also, check the local historical society and County Library to see if they have any accounts by the locals that survived.
Respectfully,
Gerald D. Hodge, Jr.
