Records

 

Sometimes the most inspiring landscapes can be found in your own backyard. For Vancouver musicians 41st and

Home inspiration comes from everyday relationships, long drives and hours spent writing together in a small, carless

 garage somewhere on 41st avenue.

 

For the greater part of the past year the band have holed themselves away in a Burnaby studio, crafting the makings

of their debut album “Left In Places.” The 8 track CD is a compilation of their past and present, taking cues from

contemporary DIY folk and indie rock. The songs are layered with rich instrumentation and narrative lyrics influenced

by the landscape and everyone in it; from the bittersweet “Box and the Bee” to “Great Bear,” a driving tribute to the

Canadian wilderness. In support of their work the band will be embarking on a western Canadian tour in the summer

of 2010, including a release party with BC talent Aidan Knight, We Are The City and In Medias Res, as well as a

Calgary showcase in mid-June (sponsored by Steamwhistle Brewing).

 

Though the current roster has been playing together for a year, the group was started by drummer Garth Covernton

and singer-songwriter Thom Kolb in mid 2008. Joined by bassist and audio engineer George Knuff, the band has

matured in terms of songwriting and instrumentation; experimenting with their sound in studio and at their practice

space. They are joined by a rotating cast of musicians such as violinist Sejal Lal and multi-instrumenta …

 

With an upcoming release and a wealth of new material the band are excited to continue building their career in the

Canadian music scene.

Barbara Rose (4793). Born at Biggleswade Work House, which was used as a maternity hospital during the war.

Educated at Biggleswade CVP School 1949-1956, Stratton Grammar School, Biggleswade 1969-1975 (Head Boy

1962-63) and University College London 1963-1966, 2nd Class Honours in Chemistry. Was Research Assistant at

Co, Stevenage (Platignum) 1968-1974, then Chief Chemist at Sherman Chemicals Ltd, Sandy 1974-1983. Is now

Managing Director and Co-founder of GeeJay Chemicals, Sandy.

 

After marriage they lived at 7 Wilsheres Road, Biggleswade until 1975 when they moved to 49 The Baulk,

Biggleswade SG18 0PX. Living in 90s at 2a High Street, Dunton, Biggleswade, Beds SG18 8RN, tel 01767-

314467.

 

Director since 1 Aug 2016 of Geejay Chemicals Ltd of 1 Beamish Close, Sandy, Beds.

 

Correspondence in November 2022 reads "Hello Martin - it is many years since you started me off on our family

history. I have the 1st edition of your book from December 1989 and also the 1992 edition (no internet then!)

 

I have steadily (but not as enthusiastically and comprehensively as you) built up my tree concentrating on the direct

line and siblings only. Trying to flesh out the bones of the dates.

 

I had occasion to look at your database recently and was pleased to see most my research agrees with yours.

 

I tried to connect George 1552 to John and Robert but found like you it just didn't tie up.

 

I am hoping! one day to write a booklet on my direct family and their siblings - I'm afraid it will be entitled 'The End of

 the Line' (I am a railway fan as well).

 

Although I had 3 sons I have only one grandchild - a lovely girl. It therefore seems unlikely the name will continue to

another generation.

 

I will update you on our family. My wife, Barbara Rose Wilson, and I celebrated our golden wedding in 2019 and are

in reasonable health.

We now live in The Mill House in Potton, which was purchased by my father in law in 1952.

 

I still keep an eye on GeeJay Chemicals Ltd which I founded 40 years ago but only in an advisory capacity.

 

Russell has taken over the running of the company. He graduated in 1991 with a B.Sc. in Transport Management

from Aston University. He did not marry until 2018, Nicola Lloyd-Jones. He lives at Everton, a village a few miles

from Potton

 

Ashley, the middle son, studied Mathematics at Warwick University. After an MSc. He went on he get a PhD in 2002

- finally starting 'work' at the age of 28!

 

He married Kirstin Louise Elev in 2010 and our only grandchild Isabel Violet Covington was born in July 2011. They

live in Farnham in Surrey. Kirstin has a PhD in Biochemistry

 

Timothy, the youngest. Graduated in Economics from Warwick University in 1999

 

He has worked for a number of well known UK companies, Dixon/Currys, Argos and Sainsburys - getting a CIMA

qualification during his first job.

He is now head of Data Science and Strategic Analytics at the Open University. He lives at Woburn Sands

 

While Isabel is the end of the line she was also the first of my line from George to be born outside

Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire - almost all within a 10 mile radius circle.

 

I was pleased on looking at the database to see what I had thought. My Isabel is only the 2nd Covington to be born

with that spelling in the UK. The first being on the same branch of the tree. I penned a short article on this, which I

have attached. I hope you find it interesting.

 

Keep up the good work for all us Covingtons

 

Best wishes

Gary Covington" (Last updated: 21/11/2022 08:17:16)

aged 61. Obituary reads "Gary was born December 21, 1956 in Monroe, LA and passed away February 1, 2018 in

West Monroe, LA. He graduated from what is now the University of Louisiana at Monroe with a B. S. in Animal

Science. He earned a top academic award in the process. His education continued as he earned a B.B. A. from

what is now ULM, and then a MBA from Louisiana Tech. Gary was a loyal alum to his universities.

 

Early in his career, he worked as an assistant county agent in Caldwell Parish. Later he transitioned into accounting.

Gary was one of a small percentage to pass the CPA exam on his first attempt. He was also a certified government

accountant and a certified fraud examiner. Gary worked in both private and government accounting. He did audits in

Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama.

 

At one point he held a 20-year perfect attendance for Sunday school, making it a point to attend when he was out of

town. Maintaining his credibility, Gary refused to compromise his Christian standards on jobs. In his youth, he rode

rodeo events and was a young “horse trader”—buying and selling on a regular basis. Gary traveled extensively and

loved visiting university campuses.

 

Gary is preceded in death by his parents, William Sr. and Edith Harris Covington. He is survived by his brother,

William G. Covington, Jr. PhD and numerous cousins.

Pallbearers will be Hugh Posey, Tom Anderson, Kalan Albritton, Wesley Glidewell, and Alan Posey." (Last updated:

living at 30 Mardale avenue, Dunstable, Beds LU6 3PA and is employed as an engineer. Semi-professional

footballer with Wycombe Wanderers in Vauxhall Conference League 1991-92. Regular position, left back. As at

December 92 had played 7 first team games. Career details from then on not known, by early 1995 he was playing

for Hitchin in the Diadora Premier League. Covington scored after 29 minutes of Hitchin's 3-2 victory against

Purfleet on 14th January 1995.

 

By early 1998 he was with Bedford Town.

 

Report of game Ryman League Division Two - Saturday 31st January 1998 - Bedford Town 2 Tooting & Mitcham 0

 

 

Manager Jimmy Bolton gave a debut to new signing Chris Dixon and Mark Quemina and Barry Ferdinand returned to

 the line up. Ferdinand nearly surprised home keeper Heeps with a long range shot in the first minute, and then a

free kick from Dave Cooper was deflected over his own bar by Dave Taylor. Jason Reed also had a couple of

efforts for the home side but he was well off target, and it was Tooting who created the best early chance when

Andy Norman found Ferdinand with some space in the area, but Ferdy skied his shot over the bar.

 

The home side forced several corners after twenty minutes, but the Tooting defence cleared without trouble, with

Gary Whelan looking commanding in the centre of defence. Play then became scrappy and there was a rash of

niggling fouls and bookings. During this period Matthias and Gleeson tried their luck with some long range shots but

they never looked like troubling Heeps.

 

With defences so much on top it looked certain that the first half would end goalless, but the home side fashioned a

goal out of nothing on 43 minutes. Full back Gavin Covington got past Tony Matthias wide on the left and was

allowed to run into the area where he crossed for Danny Nicholls to head home from the edge of the six yard box.

Bedford then nearly increased their lead when Paul Daniels headed across goal and Jason Slack just failed to get a

touch on the ball.

 

Tooting had a scare just after half time when Slack wriggled through the defence and poked the ball into the side

netting. On 53 minutes Andy Norman laid a ball back to Steve Shaw on the edge of the area, but he slightly miss-hit

his shot and it bobbled a few yards wide.

 

With Tooting making little impression on the solid Bedford defence, Jimmy Bolton made a double substitution on 60

 minutes, bringing himself and Conrad Kane on, and changing to a 4-4-2 formation. It nearly bore fruit immediately

when Ferdinand got clear on the right hand side of the area, but with several players unmarked he made a mess of

his cross.

 

The home side increased their lead on 66 minutes when a long ball over the top of the Tooting defence found Paul

Sherlock in space, and he lobbed Haakan Jensgard as he came off his line, and after this Tooting never threatened

to get back on terms.

 

Chris Dixon gave way to Barry Langford on 81 minutes, and in fact Dixon's performance was one of the few bright

spots of the afternoon as he showed some neat touches throughout. In the last few minutes, Jimmy Bolton had a

couple of wild shots and in the closing seconds Tooting were denied a consolation goal when Barry Ferdinand was

fouled by Ian Grove when through, and as Grove was the last defender he was sent off. The free kick on the edge

of the area hit the Bedford wall, and that was it. Definitely a game to forget.

 

Tooting & Mitcham Line-up: Jensgard, Whelan, Gleeson, Taylor, Matthias, Fowler, Quemina, Shaw, Dixon,

Ferdinand, Norman. Subs : Bolton (Shaw 60), Kane (Taylor 60), Langford (Dixon 81)

 

Bedford Town: Heeps, Grove, Covington (G), Branch, Covington (P), Cooper, Sherlock, Nicholls, Reed, Slack,

Daniels, Subs: Thompson, Wilkinson, Tubbs. (gavincovington@hotmail.com) (Last updated: 22/09/2002 17:58:49)

Eric (14017) who wrote "Hi, I found your site and was intrigued since I too am a Covington. I actually linked to this

site through the Covington Mill, California page. The Covington Lumber Company was founded by my Great

Grandfather in what is now known as Covington Mill shortly after the second world war and run as a family business

for 25 years.

 

Some of the family still lives in the small community of around 30 year round residents. While I have not lived there

since being four years old, I visit every summer. My Great Grandfathers name was General Lee Covington and was

originally from Arkansas. That's about as far back as I've gone. He received a patent in the 1930s for a gold mining

device that required no water. My grandfather Guy Covington I believe was born in Seattle and grew up in that area

 GEORGE COVINGTON (2617). Born: about 1552 in Bedford, Bedfordshire. Father: not known (0). Mother: not

known (0). Mar: 13 Mar 1576 in Bedford St Paul, Bedford, Bedfordshire to Wilbow, Elizabeth (3994). Died: during

1613 in Bedford, Bedfordshire aged 61. The earliest known Covington within my family tree which spans through 17

 generations over 470 years.

 

There are a number of sources online who believe that his father was John (ref 22445) which would provide us with

2 additional generations back to his father, Robert (ref 22443) but John's son George seems to have been born in

1568. For this to be our George, a marriage to Elizabeth Wilbow, definitely born in 1553, which is 15 years earlier

than the George born 1568, is extremely unlikely, particularly in that era. What is more unlikely is the same source's

suggestion that they were actually married in 1590 having had a child in 1580 & another in 1582, making George 12

years of age for the first birth & 14 at the second!! The marriage date shown here for our George & Elizabeth

comes from actual Bedford St Paul's parish records.

 

From the 16th century Bedford and much of Beds became one of the main centres of England's lace industry, and

lace continued to be an important industry in Bedford until the early 20th century.

 

St Paul's Church, in which George & Elizabeth were married and he, subsequently, was buried, is a Church of

England parish church located on St Paul's Square in the town centre of the market and county town of Bedford,

Beds, England. Formerly a medieval collegiate church, the large building of cathedral proportions with its later

additions and iconic spire dominates the town. St Paul's is the largest Anglican church in Beds, and the church

exercises a ministry of welcome to thousands of visitors and pilgrims from far and wide each year. St Paul's is

officially recognised as a Major Parish Church and is a member of the Major Churches Network.

 

Originally constructed in the early 13th century, the present church building has undergone numerous alterations,

extensions, rebuilds and restorations since this time. An Early English south porch does survive from the original

13th-century structure, however, and records trace the existence of a previous Collegiate church on this site as far

back as 1066.

 

The Trinity Chapel of the church was first constructed in 1416, with maintenance of the chapel entrusted to the Holy

Brotherhood of the Trinity. The church has long standing connections with Sir William Harpur and Dame Alice

Harper, and the Trinity Chapel holds brasses of the couple. Sir William was the Lord Mayor of the City of London in

1562, and his Harpur Trust (which has a long history of operating independent schools in Bedford) has donated

many of the stained glass windows in the church. Other improvements in the 15th century included Misericords in

the Quire (or chancel) and two additional porches. The Trinity Chapel was used as an Archdeacon’s Court after the

English Reformation.

born, St Albans was granted a charter by King Edward VI making it a borough with a mayor. In 1555, during the reign

 of Queen Mary I, a Protestant baker from Yorkshire, George Tankerfield, was brought from London and burnt to

death on Romeland in St Albans for his refusal to accept the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.

 

During the English Civil War (1642–45) the town sided with parliament but was largely unaffected by the conflict.

The city continued to grow but was comparatively slower than the rest of England growing 8-9% per decade in the

19th century as compared to the 31% growth of London. Finally, in 1877 Queen Victoria granted St Albans the

second royal charter, which granted city status and cathedral status. St Albans currently has a population of 147,

373. (Last updated: 01/04/2001)

Jockey - won the Kentucky Derby riding MacBeth II on 14th May 1888. Press cutting of race quotes: "The 1888

Derby winner was a gelding, emasculated literally as Shakespeare’s Macbeth was figuratively. But at the urging of

jockey George Covington, and with what the race summary called a “tremendous finishing kick,” Macbeth II screwed

 his courage to the sticking place and did not fail." (Last updated: 15/02/2002 14:58:51)

T-14837.

 

The following e-mail received from Billie Shortridge Feb 2009. "Vera was born in Winnipeg, Canada shortly after

George and Eveline relocated there. From Canada they went to Michigan. I found George, Evelyn and Vera listed in

the Manifest from Canada to the US, Arrival date May 1923 from Winnipeg, Canada. Then I also found George

Covington in Detroit, Michigan Border Crossings, Arrival Date 15 June 1923.

 

On that document (Primary Inspection Memorandum roll number M1478_14) it lists George as being 28 years old, a

 toolmaker who could read and write, Height 5ft 3ins, medium complexion, brown hair, blue eyes. Name of nearest

relative in country where alien came from: mother, Elizabeth Covington 3629 Coratina Street, Vancarner (? Presume

 should be Vancouver) BC, Arrival Contact: Alfred Bond, Brother in law. I believe Alfred was married to Evelyn's

sister, Rosa Baker.

 

I also found George listed in Border Crossings from Canada to US arrival date of 4 June 1923. The 1930 US

Census shows George and Evelyn in Detroit City, Wayne, Michigan. Address 20498 Varner, Vera was 7 years old.

At that time George was a tool & die maker at an auto factory. Vera used to talk about her sister who died young,

she would say her name was Kathleen. She named one of her daughters, Joyce Kathleen after that sister. I will ask

my mother in law (Vera's oldest daughter, Gail Helen) to see if she has any additional information."

 

1940 Census at Detroit City Ward *, Wayne Co, Michigan shows George, aged 44), Eveline, aged 51 and Vira,

aged 17. The record showed he had worked 48 weeks in the previous 12 months and earned $1800.

 

Social Security Number 362-03-1058. Buried at           Parkview Memorial Cemetery, Livonia, Wayne County, Michigan.

past struggles with his weight and how it is has affected him in every aspect of his life.

 

“My whole life, I’ve always been big. I can remember being put on diets as young as preschool, even in elementary

and middle school. Nobody called me George. Everyone just described me as ‘that big guy.’ So, I was always

defined by my size,” Covington explains in US Weekly‘s exclusive sneak peek.

 

George then shares how other people’s perception of him changed his outlook on himself.

 

“It kind of felt like I wasn’t good enough, because of my size, I wasn’t worthy,” he says in the clip. “After that, I mean,

 I stayed to myself or appeared to be happy and jolly when deep down inside I was miserable.”

 

George, who teaches kindergarten, details how his job affected his weight gain over time.

 

“Food was definitely a defense mechanism,” he added. “Once I became the teacher, I didn’t exercise that much

and that’s when the mobility really became an issue.”

 

It didn’t help that George also has to deal with offensive comments from his student’s parents.

 

“A lot of parents they go to the front office, and they complain about their kids being in my class. I had one parent

say, ‘What if he falls on the kids?’” he says.

 

Too Large, which premiered earlier this month on discovery+, follows people who are struggling with cases of dire

obesity and are hoping to get help from renowned bariatric surgeon Dr. Charles Procter.

 

The episode description highlights George as “a kind-hearted kindergarten teacher who weighs nearly 700 pounds.”

 While his family starts to be concerned for his health and his future, George is more determined to lose weight for

love, specifically for his ex-girlfriend.

 

George may be focused on changing his appearance to win back his ex, but he also explains how losing weight

would help him connect with his students more.

 

“When I come to my classroom in the morning, I normally stay at my desk all day because I can only walk about 10

feet or so before I have to take a breather. So, my coworkers actually really help me with my students,” he clarified

in the video from the upcoming episode. “I would love to be able to sit on the floor and teach with my kids or take

them on field trips. That does make me feel bad because I feel like they are missing out on something.” (Last

Stella (0). George Covington is a photographer. He has taught photography workshops at various locations such

as Harlem Hospital and the Smithsonian Institution. He has also spent the better part of 20 years advocating the

rights of millions of Americans with disabilities. His passion for photography and his many accomplishments are so

unique, we felt we just had to share them with the world. Kodak proudly presents the World Wide Web premiere of

"To Photograph Is To See," by George Covington. Some folks might even be more impressed once they learn that

George has been legally blind since birth.

 

Mr. Covington's passion for photography was featured in the award-winning People in Motion series, which

premiered on PBS in April, 1996.

 

"Why is it George's work has so much unity in it?" Newman asks. "This cannot be an accident. I'm not saying he's

the greatest photographer around. It's his ideas about photography and his dedication to his ideas that count. His

intelligence and understanding of what he can do with photography — they're just incredible. I've done this for 40

years, and he's given me ideas I've never thought of." —Arnold Newman, Interview in The Washington Star,

Saturday, December 2, 1978

 

George A. Covington: A Short Biography

 

Born legally blind, with less than ten percent of normal vision, George A. Covington first achieved national media

attention for his work in using photography as a seeing tool. "Most people see to photograph, I photograph to see, "

he says. "A photograph reduces the confusing world of reality to an abstraction I can understand," he explains.

 

He is the former Special Assistant for Disability Policy to the Vice President of the United States during the Bush-

Quayle administration. He was the first person to serve fulltime as a White House aide on disability issues. Prior to

joining Vice President Quayle's staff, he worked on disability projects on the staff of Representative Jim Wright,

former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

 

Working with the office of Representative Charles Wilson, he designed and implemented the first fully accessible

mapping of Capitol Hill and the monuments. This project, the Tactile Capitol, provided vistors with visual impairment

or other disabilities with hand-held Braille and table-top scale maps of Washington, DC.

 

He is an attorney and former journalism professor whose career has spanned the fields of law, journalism,

education, government, and disability civil rights. Before his work with the Federal Government, he was a media and

communications consultant to non-profit organizations. He is the former Co-Chair of the Universal Design Task

Force of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.

 

For the past fifteen years, Mr. Covington has worked to change the mass media's portrayal of disabled people. He

feels the media reflects and reinforces the negative images and stereotypes held by society about people with

disabilities.

 

Mr. Covington is co-author of Access By Design, which was published in October of 1996 by Van Nostrand

Reinhold. The book is a survey of consumer products that approach the goal of universal design. These products,

including the KODAK ImageSource 70 Copier-Printer and the KODAK FUNSAVER Pocket Camera, are designed

in such a way, that they reach a broader spectrum of potential users than similar products in the same field.

 

He has taught numerous photography workshops for people with disabilities. Most recently he taught "Photography:

A Tool For Access" for consumers of the Harlem Independent Living Center.

 

Working with Jim Belfon, Executive Director of the Photographic Center of Harlem (PCH), the two taught a workshop

 on photography for local residents with disabilities. PCH is a not-for-profit, membership, full service hands-on

photographic learning environment within the Central Harlem Community.

 

Photography: Access to Sight - by George A. Covington

 

Most people see to photograph, I photograph to see.

 

I was born legally blind with 20/400 vision in both eyes. Because of a combination of astigmatism, nastagmus,

eccentric fixation and myopia (all acute) my eyesight was not optically correctable. Over the past twenty years, I have

  lost most of this vision due to a retina degeneration problem. Presently, I function with less than five percent of

normal vision on the periphery of my right eye.

 

Shortly after my present vision loss began, I discovered that photography allowed me to keep open this priceless

channel of perceptive communication. It was startling to look at a self-portrait and realize I had stopped seeing

myself in a mirror. It was equally startling to realize I had stopped seeing the faces of my friends and relatives. If I

had not become seriously interested in photography at that point in my life, I would today consider myself blind; as

long as I can photograph I will never be blind.

 

Photography allows me to see what I otherwise could not see. The world through my eyes, and the world through my

 photography and a magnifier. Visually impaired people around the globe can use photography to better see their

world.

 

The reason a photograph is easier to see than the scene it represents is simple to understand. A photograph is not

reality, but an abstraction of reality. Even the most correctly developed photograph is a high-contrast abstraction of

the object it represents. Thousands of colors, shades, hues and textures are reduced to a few shades of gray

between black and white. Confusing shapes and distances are reduced to a two-dimensional representation.

Although eyesight is measured in numbers such as 20/20, 20/100 and 20/200, these measurements are not exact.

Much as no two individuals with "normal vision" will see the same, so is it true of the visually impaired. A black-and-

white photograph helps reduce the differences in degree of vision by allowing the individual to view a person, place

or object in the situation best suited to the individual's particular vision problem. While everyone loves the beauty of

a color photograph, color can often add back some of the confusion by reducing the detail and resolution that

carries vital information.

 

The most important aspect of reducing a scene or object to a photograph is that it allows the visually impaired

person to have total control of both detail and perspective. There are two aspects of the control of both detail and

overall perspective.

 

First, a photograph allows individuals with diminished vision to view the scene or object represented by the

photograph in the best light and at a distance from their eyes that best compensates for their particular problem.

While many require a great deal of light for best results, other might have a vision problem that requires them to see

the light coming from the back of the print. A photograph allows a person with diminished vision to get close enough

to breath on the object and in some cases use a magnifying device.

 

Secondly, the photograph allows the visually impaired individual to see both detail and perspective at the same time.

 If a person were to try to move close enough to view each element within a scene, they could not see the other

objects in the scene. Thus, they would lose over-all perspective. If they backed away far enough to have an over-all

perspective, they would lose detail without gaining perspective.

 

Photography literally allows you to make the large small enough to see and the small large enough to see. Many of

us see the world as though it were painted by Monet. A photograph crystallizes time and space and gives our world

definition. I love Monet's work, but I prefer my world in focus.

 

My latest interest is digital photography and the desktop darkroom. Digital images give me the control I need to see

my world better.

A further more recent article provides more info on George's lifestyle: "The Authentication of George Covington, In

which we discover a blind man who sees the world better than everyone else" by Dorothy Guerrero, Sep 2013.

 

"Last November, I drove way out West to see about a blind photographer. Actually, let’s stop right here —

If you want an inspirational story about a man overcoming his disability to become a celebrated artist, this ain’t it. In

fact, that would be the surest way to piss off George Covington, BJ ’67, JD ’73. Yes he’s blind, yes he takes

pictures, but he never did it to warm people’s hearts. He’s always been allergic to pity and cheerleading from

strangers. Photography for him was a practical matter — a way to see beautiful women. “I never make a pass, until I

make a print,” he says.

“Blind photographer” may sound like an oxymoron, but Covington uses the medium as an ingenious way to perceive

the world. He’s not totally blind. He has a small percent of his vision, enough to allow him to sit at his computer and

George B Covington, adjutant of the Seventeenth Indiana Volunteers (Wilder's Mounted Infantry). was wounded in

an engagement near Dallas, Ga., on the 24th of May 1865. The regiment was forming in the line of battle, and Lieut.

Covington was engaged in correcting the line when he was shot by a rebel sharpshooter. The ball entered the left

breast, passed through the left lobe of the lungs and lodged in the spinal column. The surgeon pronounced the

wound inevitably fatal, and the only hope was that he might possibly live to see home. Wheeler's rebel cavalry had

made a raid in the rear of our army, so that he could not be started home till the 30th. He had to be transported in an

ambulance a distance of thirty miles, to Kingston, where he was put on the cars for Chattanooga. While on the cars,

between Dalton and Resaca, on the 1st of June, he died.

 

The detail which had started home with him had, under instructions of Col. Wilder, in event of death on the way

home, the body embalmed at Chattanooga and brought on to Nashville, where they were met by Lieut. Covington's

parents. The body was brought to this city and interred on the 9th inst. George B. Covington was born in Rising Sun,

March 28, 1845, so that he had but a short time since entered upon his twentieth year.

 

He first entered service on July 4, 1861, and went to West Virginia with Col. (now General) Hascal, then

commanding the Seventeenth. He afterward returned home, but rejoined the regiment, then under Col. Wiler,

September, 1862, and was with Col. Wilder at the several days battle at Mumfordsville, and was, at the surrender of

that place, made a prisoner. He was exchanged at the same time with Col. Wilder, in November, and proceeded

with him to the front, and was in various engagements proceeding the battle of Stone River.

 

The brigade commanded by Col. Wilder, being mounted, was assigned hazardous duties, and was engaged in a

great many skirmishes, some of which, in other times, would be set down as battles of considerable importance. It

was Wilder's brigade that checked the rebel advance at Chickamauga when Davis' and McCook's divisions fell back,

 and dealt such deadly shots into the rebel lines. The brigade being armed with Spencer rifles, six-shooters, felt

themselves competent to cope with six rebel brigades, and they did even more at Chickamauga. It was for gallant

conduct at this battle that Col. Wilder had Lieut. Covington promoted to the adjutancy of the Seventeenth. Lieut.

Covington fell at his post and in the discharge of his duty. H made no complaint of his fate.

 

During the several days he was detained in starting home, after being wounded, the battles were continued, and he

was within hearing the roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry. He several times remarked that he wished he was

able to be with his regiment. He met death calmly and quietly, as he had often braved dangers. He felt that he was

about to die in a holy cause and in the conscientious discharge of a noble duty. His last words, sent through Col.

Wilder to his friends at home, were 'Tell father and mother that I have tried to do my duty, and that I die a Christian

soldier.'

 

The large and solemn concourse that attended his funeral asserts the estimation in which he was held here, the

place of his birth, and the fondness with which his memory will be cherished by those who knew him." On the day of

his funeral at Rising Sun, both the circuit court and the commissioner's court, both of which were in session,

adjourned to attend the funeral, , and that, on motion of Judge Downey, suitable testimonial to his character was

placed upon the records of the circuit court, and a like testimonial, on motion of Henry Brown, one of the

commissioners, was placed upon the records of the commissioner's court. ("HISTORY OF DEARBORN AND

1996, twenty years after closing its doors to commerce, George Edward Covington Sr. purchased Enderlin's Cotton

 Gin, Conway's last operational gin and the site where the last bale of cotton was ginned in Faulkner County. The old

gin became warehouse space and with the passage of time slowly deteriorated into one of Conway's biggest

eyesores. Interested in preserving historic landmarks, George chose to renovate the building ignoring the urging of

well-intended friends to doze the building down. After months of renovation efforts, the Conway Chamber of

Commerce honored Mr. Covington by presenting him with "The Best Building Renovation of 1996" in recognition of

a job well done!

 

George and his wife, Janette, breathed new life into the old forgotten building by turning it into a thriving Special

Events Center. The exterior facade of the building appears much like it did when it opened its doors as an

operational gin. However, the interior of the building has been completely renovated into an elegant facility that can

be used for multiple purposes. A warm inviting fireplace at one end of the building and a bride's dressing room on

the other, serve as the ideal place for weddings and receptions.

 

An ornately carved solid oak antique back bar which once graced the dining hall of one of Little Rock's finest

restaurants, The Spaghetti Warehouse, is located in the Social Room off of the Main Hall. This cozy room is the

perfect place for socializing with friends before or during an event.
