George Milton

I am so sorry that I just now found this. I have been trying to discover the history behind this portrait of a lady that I have hanging in my livingroom. She belonged to my grandparents and I admired her very much growing up. My mother passed her on to me about 10 years ago and all I knew was that she was drawn with a single felt tiped marker and through a thin piece of paper so that what I am seeing is actually the reverse of her original. She is signed only Milton. My grandfather told me...

George, a very dear devoted friend for myself and my sister, Andrea. What we have gained from George Milton is priceless in his stories, laughter, talent, and carrying the torch of history of famiies and friends. Elizabeth, his sister, and my godmother lost a brother indeed, but God has gained a peaceful and kind soul. May God bless you, George Milton.

Hootie, we are so sorry to hear of your brother's death. He was always so nice to remember us when we saw him through the years, which was not often enough. We were neighbors in Marianna, loved your Mother and you. Even though that was in the 40's and 50's, it seems as if it were only yesterday.
Again so sorry for your loss, he will be missed.

My family loved George Milton, from Marianna, Florida. I got to know him only during the last two years and felt I had known him for life. My Aunt Adelaide McCaskill and George, as well as Moss Mabry, were best of friends. I am so saddened to hear of this news and know that Addie and Moss share in this grief.
Much love to all who loved him. Our lives are enriched for knowing him.
