I am posting this request for help in hopes someone will be able to help me.


Does anyone reading this know of or have knowledge of any kind regarding: Dock Newell Elrod? He was born July 31, 1864. He was born in South Carolina and buried in Hartwell Georgia. He was married (it looks like twice) and the second wife was Mamie Gray Elrod.


I appreciate any and all help you can provide to me. Also, if you might have a photo of him, this wold be wonderful.
