Railroads and a Civil War career of Charles Markham
A long, garbled obituary tells of Charles Markham born in Ireland, who grew to lead major railroad companies including Southern Pacific and Texas Central, rose to vice president roles, and became president of Greyton Central. It traces a rough path from boy laborer to rail executive, noting service in the Confederacy era and later rapid ascent to railroad helm with scattered names and places, all in a fragmented historical recount.

Railroad Route Debates Split Charter Board And Calhoun Resigns
In a discussion over railroad expansion from Charleston to the Middle West the French Broad route via Rabun Gap and Walhalla draws support, while the Blue Ridge extension via Glaylom or Sevierville meets opposition. The choice sparks the resignation of John C. Calhoun from the board, as directors favor a near sea route through Augusta and Athens. The projectors form a noble company with prominent names such as Robert Hayne and others, reflecting deep ambition and regional influence.
