Sergeant Iverson Graves Worrill 

Picture
          Iverson Graves Worrill was born 8 February 1838,  in Covington, Georgia, the son of Solomon and Martha Denmark Worrill.  He was educated in Covington and Oxford, Georgia. 
          In the August 1850, federal census, Newton County, Georgia, he was 12 years old, residing with his mother and siblings in a boarding house which apparently she owned.   In 1860, he resided with his mother in the Greenway Hotel in the Village of Thomson, Georgia.  She was 55 and he was 22 years old.  Three other members of the soon to be Thomson Guards also resided in that boarding house. 
          He was enlisted 11 May 1861, in Thomson by Captain William Johnston.  His card file indicates he was present with the company during the entire war. He became 1st Sergeant. In 1864 he was detailed to division headquarters as a guard.  He surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, 9 April 1865.  His brother Olin D. Worrill was also a soldier in the Thomson Guards. 
          Worrill married 3 September 1872 in Sylvan Hill, near Sparta, Georgia, to Annie Lydia Smith.  She was the daughter of George W. and Alzaidee S. Binion Smith.  Iverson and Annie had one daughter, Alma Graves Worrill who married James Carter Wright of Roanoke, Alabama in 1898. 
          He was the tax collector of newly formed McDuffie County for 25 years from 1877 to 1902 when he gave up due to bad health.  For many years he was the able assistant to the Clerk of Superior Court.  It was said that Mr. Worrill was good man full of good works.  His hand was ever outstretched to the needy to share with them his limited means.  He served his generation faithfully. 
          Iverson Graves Worrill was awarded the Confederate Cross of Honor #1657 by the Ida Eve Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.  He was a member of the George McDuffie Camp United Confederate Veterans. 
Iverson Worrill passed away 27 May 1907 in Thomson.  Services were held at the Baptist Church and he was buried in the Thomson Memorial Cemetery.
