Notes - James Daniel DuPree, born in 1889, managed the large estate of his father until it was divided, after which he engaged in the manufacture of lumber and shingles, which he continued until a few years ago. In addition, he developed a prosperous plantation of his own, including a large pecan grove. He entered into the civic, fraternal and other interests of the county. During the World War he served on the food administration committee, selective service draft board, the various drives to distribute Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Other civic activities include the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Education, Worshipful Master Mount Hope Lodge, and many others. He served four years as city manager of Hawkinsville, and is now serving his sixth year as chairman of the board of city commissioners. During this period, which embraces all of the present depression, when many cities have found it necessary to reduce their services and organizations, the citizens of Hawkinsville have been outspoken in their appreciation of his efforts not only to keep the city from taking a backward step but indeed to go forward in spite of these trying times. In 1908 he married Elizabeth Everett, of Atlanta, daughter of Leila Carswell and James Everett of Twiggs County, and granddaughter of Dr. Beniah Carswell, of Jeffersonville. She has identified herself with all religious and civic organizations of the city, holding offices in the Baptist Church and Missionary Society, chaplain of the Hawkinsville Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and an active worker in the garden and community clubs.
