FELTON HOME
Dr. William H. Felton and his wife,
Rebecca Latimer, lived from 1853 until 1905 in the house east
of this marker.
A physician, minister and noted
orator, Dr. Felton was the leader of the Independent Revolt from
the State Democratic Party in the 1870's and won three spectacular
Congressional campaigns.
Mrs. Felton's appointment in 1922
at the age of 87, as the first woman U.S. Senator climaxed a
long career in which she had gained wide recognition as an author,
newspaper columnist, and crusader for women's rights.
