Edwin Atkins, a retired film producer and New York City resident, could scarcely have imagined that a side-trip to Milledgeville following his mother‘s 2014 funeral in Savannah would lead to a full-time mission honoring his namesake, great-grandfather‘s legacy. His grandfather served as the first full-time State Prison Farm chaplain during the 1920s and 1930s.
This mission has translated to Atkins’ effort to restore and preserve the long abandoned and nearly forgotten Red Hill Cemetery, the burial resting place for an estimated 1500 to 2000 inmates who were incarcerated over nearly four decades from 1898 to 1937, before the prison was relocated to Reidsville.
From 1922 until its closing, Reverend Edwin C. Atkins Sr. of Savannah’s Asbury Methodist Church, served as the state prison chaplain. Reverend Atkins served at the behest of his friend Bishop Warren Candler, brother of Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler, shortly after a series of prison reform laws were enacted to eradicate inhumane penal practices.
Once located on the property, now occupied by the Walter B. Williams Recreational Parks and Athletic Complex on Ga. Hwy 22, the massive 4,000-acre State Prison Farm was comprised of the dormitory style prison building, residences for prison officials including Reverend Atkins, a
working farm that produced crops, and a factory that made various implements; most notably, automobile license plates.
On a distant hill beyond the boundary of the farmlands, a contiguous patch of red clay was designated as a burial site for prisoners who passed away while serving out their sentences. This included 144 prisoners who were sentenced to capi tal punishment. Reverend Atkins ministered to these inmates until their hour of death. In time, the grounds acquired the name Red Hill Cemetery for its physical
characteristic as a red clay hill rising above the farm.
During his tenure, Revered Atkins kept meticulous notes and records of funerals, sermons and his observances passed down through the family and currently in possession of the younger Atkins.
Edwin Atkins, the now 75-year-old descendent of Reverend Atkins, recounts hearing tales of his ‘grand-dad’s’ activities at the prison from other family members. “As a child, my dad was always talking about grand-dad being up on that hill taking care of the prisoners,” he remembers.
Those stories were replaced by new experiences; however, as Atkins’ family moved from Georgia to Maryland where his father served an appointment from U.S. Representative Carl Vinson at The Department of Veterans Affairs.
After college, Atkins embarked on a theatrical career pro ducing summer stock plays that eventually led to a long New York and Hollywood career in film production. Childhood memories of Georgia had become a faded, now blurry film, but the 2014 Savannah to Milledgeville trip rekindled interest in his red clay roots.
Atkins first encounter with ‘grand-dad’s’ legacy, upon arriving in Milledgeville, was the physical remnants of the crumbling prison building itself. Emotionally jolted by occupying the very space in which the Reverend had toiled for years to faithfully minister to the prison population, he initially envisioned a preservation project at the National Historic site. This site would include a museum or evolve into a multiple attraction venue to galvanize public interest in the prison farm history. Particularly moving for Atkins was a many decades old Christ crucifixion mural, located in the dining hall, painted by anonymous prisoners who had been influenced by his ‘granddad’s’ ministry.
“There’s enormous history attached to the prison farm that deserves to be told fairly and evenly for the benefit of the descendants of prisoners and anyone interested in the history of our state,” he remarks.
Three years into research and study of the old prison and cemetery finally culminated in his moving to nearby Macon in 2017 and establishing a business in Milledgeville at Auntie Bellum’s Antiques Emporium downtown displaying prison related artifacts in his leased spaces.
However, his prison building vision merely resulted in producing a four-minute trailer film to introduce the subject when his plans were de-railed by the local government decision to raze the decaying edifice in favor of a coming aquatic center.
Not prepared for this decision, but undaunted, Atkins turned his full attention to the Red Hill Cemetery, still state controlled by the Georgia Department of Corrections
(GDOC), as his new vehicle to tell the prison farm story and honor his ‘grand-dad’s’ memory.
Preservation of the cemetery would require a ‘resurrec tion’ though, as the red hill was wrought with eight decades of nature’s furious might, engulfing the terrain with layers of overgrowth. After gaining legal access to the land through the GDOC for the preservation, volunteers initiated multiple maintenance and mowing efforts with help from GDOC, slowly but surely taming the wild weeds.
He formed Friends of Red Hill Cemetery, replete with a Facebook page with over 1700 member-followers. He also recruited key volunteers and institutions, through the platform, including The Georgia Trust for Places in Peril, Preserving Our Georgia Cemeteries, University of Georgia Historic Archives and a confluence of logistical and technical support such as an archaeologist, illustrator/artist, graphic designer, and cadaver dog team. Atkins also found an empathetic ear with State Representative Rick Williams, who is also the third-generation owner of Williams Funeral Home and Crematorium located on Jefferson Street.
Commenting on Atkins’ efforts, Williams invoked 19thcentury philosopher and politician William Gladstone’s observation, “Show me the manner in which a nation or com munity cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.”
Williams adds, “I don’t know who else, but Edwin would have taken on such a job, but since the state is already in the cemetery business with three Veterans Cemeteries, I would anticipate it will lend aid with this one.”
But of all of those supporting Atkins undertaking, none surpasses the invaluable contributions of Mary Esther Smith. A retired matron at the Baldwin Women’s Prison and security guard at the J.P. Stevens warehouse the state prison building former site. Smith has functioned as full project partner with Atkins in archival research, locating gravesites, maintenance, and joyous ambassador for the Red Hill preservation.
“I have always been interested in old, hidden away cemeteries. They are the most interesting because of the stories and secrets they can tell about people,” she says of her alliance with Atkins.
‘Hidden away’ is a fitting description for Red Hill’s loca tion, and therein lies the crux of Atkins’ dilemma in fully actuating a preservation plan for the cemetery. Red Hill is a
narrow swath of roughly 15 acres that runs alongside unpaved Meeks Road and Old Stagecoach Road just west of the Williams’ Park soccer fields. The location restricts public access, which poses an obstacle in Atkins’ plan to create a means for exposing the cemetery to a wide audience.
This project received an enormous boost, in January 2022, when The Georgia Trust for Places in Peril named Red Hill to its 10 Places in Peril list. The designation opens the door for Atkins’ Friends of Red Hill Cemetery to advance its cause for public access with the acknowledgement of its value by an authoritative and credible state agency.
Ultimately, the goal is to fulfill the Georgia Trust’s threepronged directive for salvaging the designated Place in Peril. First, to count, confirm and identify the maximum number of gravesites possible, then inform and educate the public about the historic site, and finally to provide a plan for public access and future maintenance.
Atkins contends, “The cemetery has merit and should be included in plans to create public access and preservation,” while conceding that, “Even as a historic site, it is not apt to be a destination attraction without infrastructure to provide public access. Biking and hiking paths and even a trolley car tour stop are logical possibilities.”
He adds, “We would like to coordinate the full support of state, county, and city agencies and resources to create that type of access for the cemetery.”
Baldwin County Manager Carlos Tobar is complimentary of Atkins ‘work at the cemetery noting, “it’s a worthy effort by Atkins and his colleagues, and the county encourages private citizens involvement with community projects.“
To date, Atkins, Smith, and a cadre of volunteers have located approximately 600 graves and positively identified almost 250 by matching numbers on license plates found on gravesites that have survived nature’s worst elements and reemerged to offer witness to history.
Already, there has been a family memorial service held this summer for an interred prisoner, James Barbee of Thomasville. A granite headstone, provided by Friends of Red Hill, was placed at the grave recalling the custom of marking graves with stones or rocks, as the family paid final respects.
Atkins is also fulfilling his mission of reclaiming his ‘granddad’s’ consequential legacy as minister and counselor to not only the buried, but for many other thousands who were part of a of a community sentenced to a fate of hopelessness.
Three books now in print, Wash, 60 Cents, and The Real Homer Simpson tell the stories of several prisoners’ unfortunate journeys from productive lives to death row. Each book contained passages taking note of Reverend Atkins’ steadfast ness in providing comfort and aid in seeking the condemned prisoners’ redemption.
The elder Atkins seemed to also aid and validate his great-grandson’s calling by leaving for him a trail of clues in the form of white Cherokee roses that he planted at each site where he officiated a funeral. The sturdy state flower consistently survived nature’s elements and bloomed spring after spring signaling to future generations the worth of their mission in recognizing and remembering a group of people lost to history.

KyleCollins Hitchcock, a 2001 University of Georgia graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Education (middle grades), has launched a new scholastic award for Baldwin County high school seniors. The Blaze Award is the honors designated title. The Blaze Project focuses on academic achievement and success of high school seniors who achieve top scores on the American College Testing (ACT). The top high school seniors, from each Baldwin County accredited institution, are recognized along with an individual county winner.

The Blaze Project rooted in dedication. The process of applying and securing acceptance into a college or university can be a daunting experience. Typically, high school teachers encourage students to prepare and take national assessment examinations to prepare for college. The award sets a benchmark for a high school senior who shares passion for both high school academics and their achievement on the ACT examination.
The award criterion is based on the students’ ACT examination scores. Although ranking at the top of the graduating class is paramount in receiving other awards for scholastic achievement, it’s not a requirement to receive the Blaze Award. Hitchcock explains, “The Blaze Project was created to give a ‘high five’ to the high school senior that knocks the ball out of the park on the ACT. The assessment is designed to allow high school students to prepare and succeed in the future level of their educational journey.”
The Blaze Award trails forty years after the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) introduced the STAR student award. Georgia seniors earn The STAR award by achieving the highest SAT test score in their graduating class. The Blaze Award; however, doesn’t require this same criterion.
The community supports students receiving The Blaze Award. Milledgeville/Baldwin County businesses, friends, and family members locally fund the award. The sponsors are excited about contributing to this worthy cause. “The time has come to level out these scholastic awards as most universities and colleges see both academic tests as equal regarding admission requirements,” notes Hitchcock.
The Blaze Project presented the 2022 Blaze Awards at Central Georgia Technical College Milledgeville campus, in April, as part of the Milledgeville-Baldwin County Chamber of Commerce ‘Eggs & Issues’ Breakfast Meeting. Cathy Cox, the new president of Georgia College & State University, assisted Hitchcock in presenting the awards and medals to six high school seniors and six teachers.
A special acknowledgement message from Governor Brian Kemp and his wife, Marty Kemp via video acknowledged the high school seniors’ achievements and determination in excelling in the competitive collegiate environment. Each winner received an elegant handblown glass trophy. Four Baldwin County high school seniors, one Georgia Military College Prep School senior, and a John Milledge Academy high school senior received the Blaze Award for achieving the highest ACT score in Baldwin County for the graduating class of 2022.
Additionally, each winning student received a medal to wear with their graduating caps and gowns displaying the Blaze Award Logo. “Along with these awards there were financial scholarships granted to both students and teachers which capped out at $1000,” says Hitchcock. As a special memento, each awarded teacher also received a trophy. Each high school senior winner had the opportunity to select a teacher for the award.
“We have the highest of hopes that the Blaze Award Project will begin to spread like wildfire throughout the state of Georgia and will potentially become a national award,” declares Hitchcock. The ACT organization is familiar with the Blaze Award Project and our re cently held spring awards ceremony. The organization expressed their appreciation that our high achieving high school seniors are receiving this award for their accomplishments. “The Blaze Project has turned out to be a very positive experience in our county. We would all like to see the project move forward to the surrounding counties so high school seniors and teachers receive awards for their accomplishments,” said Hitchcock.
Kyle Hitchcock no longer is actively teaching. Hitchcock along with her husband, Andrew Hitchcock are co-owners of Sinclair Reserve Realty, a thriving real estate business in Milledgeville. The work schedule flexibility a real estate agent enjoys ranked a top priority for the Hitchcock’s while raising their children. Hitchcock expresses her gratitude, “This opportunity was most definitely a God led project that fills my heart as I stay connected with education while enjoying a career in real estate.”
Hitchcock’s underlying mission for the The Blaze Project is founded upon Proverbs: 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life. HMLM

With a background in mental health and a heart for strengthening children and families, Ocmulgee Juvenile
Court Judge Kelli Rutherford has truly found her calling. Rutherford has served the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit in this role since October of 2020, and prior to being appointed judge, she was the Special Assistant Attorney General, who represents the Department of Family and Children’s Services (DFCS) in court.
Rutherford’s career path began with working in psychology, rather than law. Earning both a bachelor and master’s degree in Psychology from Georgia Southern and Georgia College, respectively, she worked in mental health services at both Charter Lake and Charter Peachford.
Once in law school at Georgia State University, Rutherford really enjoyed family law classes. She says, “I found that with my psychology background and my career experience, I was more geared toward helping people who would be involved with family court.”
The Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit is the largest in Georgia, covering eight counties, and Rutherford is in juvenile court four days a week. Her goal is for everyone in court to work together to reunify families and make them stronger. Rutherford says, “The best part of my job is helping families. When you see a family reunified or much stronger than when they entered your court, it is very rewarding. When a child is removed and placed into foster care, the family often views DFCS as a negative in their life. We want people to understand that juvenile court is not an adversarial court, but a supportive court. We are all working to wards the same goal – to strengthen families.”
She says the evolution of child welfare is like a pendulum, swinging back and forth, and circling back around.
Rutherford feels child welfare has changed in some ways since she started. “Any amount of time that a child is away from their home, it is traumatic to them. We want to do everything we can for the child and the family. We’ve seen a degradation of families. Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce, remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. All of these factors can make reunification more challenging. What is best for children isn’t just a better home that can provide all the extras like ballet lessons or soccer camp. Children want a loving family,” she adds.
One of Rutherford’s big gest challenges is some of the policies and bureaucracy of the child welfare system. She longs for a system that looks even more at the needs of the family. “Some think we can only do what the policy says and not think of the bigger picture. Questions like, ‘How can we help this family and what do they really need?’ are so important. Approaching problems with the mindset of ‘if there is something we can do, then we should do it.’ Those who have worked in child welfare for a long time, often see the same situations over and over. If certain policies haven’t worked in the past, they are not likely to work now. Doing what we can
Rutherford grew up in Gray, GA, where her parents continue to live. She and her husband, Boyce, who works in the timber industry, are recent empty nesters. Both of their children are at Georgia Tech. Luke is a senior, majoring in mechanical engineering, with a minor in energy systems and a certificate in finance. Lauren is a freshman and majoring in neuroscience. In her spare time, Rutherford enjoys CrossFit, traveling with family, and reading. She and her family attend First Baptist Church in Gray, where she has taught elementary and high school Sunday School for 12 years.
“The best part of my job is helping families. When you see a family reunified or much stronger than when they entered your court, it is very rewarding. When a child is removed and placed into foster care, the family often views DFCS as a negative in their life. We want people to understand that juvenile court is not an adversarial court, but a supportive court. We are all working towards the same goal – to strengthen families.” – Rutherford to assist the family and reunify them plays directly into the best interest of children. Maintaining ties with their biological family is so important, and some additional services can preserve the family unit, rather than quickly sending the children to adoption,” adds Rutherford.
She is also the presiding judge of the Ocmulgee Family Treatment Court (FTC), which uses a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to serve families with substance use disorders and who are involved with the child welfare system. FTC brings together leaders from child welfare, substance use treatment, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), mental health agencies, dependency courts, and other community partners in a non-adversarial approach.
Rutherford explains, “Many of our cases involve substance abuse disorders. When FTCs intervene effectively, children spend less time in out-of-home placement and find permanency more quickly. Parents who are in FTC have more accountability, are provided evi dence-based treatment, drug screened more often and are constantly monitored by the FTC coordinator and case manager. We see these parents every two weeks in a special FTC court setting, and there is better continuity of services with more interaction between the providers. FTC evaluations have consistently found that compared with parents receiving conventional child welfare and dependency court interventions, parents participating in FTCs stay in drug treatment longer, complete treatment at higher rates, receive more court review hearings, and reunite with their children more often. FTC is another tool in our toolbox to reunify families.” HMLM

As temperatures drop and seasons turn, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on the vivid blooms you love so much in your yard. Strategically adding seasonal plants that can withstand cooler weather is a great way to bring color and dimension to outdoor spaces, enhancing your curb appeal into the autumn months.
To educate and inspire, the plant and gardening experts at Ball Horticultural Company reveal simple tips, top trends, and standout plants that are ideal for fall.
There’s no easier way to add autumn atmosphere to your entryway, walkways and flower boxes than with the warm hues of rich yellows and sunny oranges. Blooms in these colors convey happiness and warmth, making them beautifully eye-catching. Some plants in these tones are especially attractive to bees and butterflies, helping create pollinator-friendly spaces.
For example, award-winning Echinacea Artisan Yellow Ombre is a native-type prairie plant that attracts songbirds, bees and butterflies throughout fall, and into winter. It’s drought tolerant and low maintenance, making it a no-brainer for colorful autumn gardens. Another great option as the weather cools is Achillea Milly Rock Yellow Terracotta. This perennial has a breathtaking goldenorange color that is perfect for fall because it is frost tolerant, plus it attracts pollinators while resisting hungry rabbits and deer.
While yellow and orange are quintessential fall colors, you can add an on-trend element to your outdoor space with Spreading Pansy Cool Wave Blue. The stunning dark, moody blue hue plays nicely when combined with a jewel-toned autumn palette. It is also a standout choice by itself, reflecting the cooler weather, crisp air and clear night skies associated with the fall months.
The vibrant shade of solid blue is beautiful in planters and hanging baskets, as well as in landscaping and window boxes. This sunloving variety is a spreading pansy, meaning it can serve as great groundcover, as well. You can enjoy this pansy in fall, and with superior overwintering hardiness, it’s the earliest pansy to return in the spring.
Color is one important aspect of landscape design, but to really elevate your outdoor appeal, consider dimension as well.
Creating variables in plants through shape and texture adds visual interest, bringing new depth to a space. To create this, mix florals with greenery and don’t be afraid of nontraditional flower shapes.
The perfect example is Celosia, which features blooms in unique shapes such as plumes, spikes or wavy crests. You can
create any outdoor aesthetic you desire with varieties available in yellow, orange, red and dark purple. Each adds texture and dimension, pairing well with mums and other popular autumn florals.
Whether it’s containers, window boxes or several strategic places in your landscaping, you can update your home for the fall season and boost your curb appeal with fall flowers. A dash of color and texture will help your home be a standout on the block. HMLM
