54 Dr. Elias Georges Abu-Saba Passed away on September 28, 2006, after a brief battle with cancer. Friends and family had gathered together the previous weekend to celebrate Elias' life, where he read his own poetry, thanking family and friends who have graced his life. Born in the Lebanese village, Mia-Mia, in 1929 to Georges Abu-Saba and Sabat Saikaly, Elias grew up tending livestock, olives and citrus orchards on the family farm with 10 siblings. He attended Girard Institute and the American University of Beirut, (BS degree 1956), both established by the Presbyterian Church USA. He received his MS in civil engineering (1959) and Ph. D. (1969) from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. While at VPI, he met Mary Edith Bentley, a stuudent from Randolph-Macon Woman's College where they were married in 1961. Employed as a structural engineer with Dalmo Victor Engineering Company in San Mateo, Elias then became a professor at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He won the Clarence Prouty Shedd Fellowship to study at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, 1964-65, pursuing his passion for contemplation and debate of philosophy, ethics and politics. Elias was always poet and engineer, translating visions into words and soaring structures. He wrote volumes of verse and built everything from houses to space station solar panels. After teaching and consulting at Bucknell University and Bradley University he became full professor at North Carolina A&T State University in 1975, where he taught for two decades, contributing to engineering research and authoring the textbook, The Design of Steel Structures. Working for peace in the Middle East among all peoples was Elias' avocation. He leaves us with love, memories and thousands of poems that remind us there is hope.

58 Duncan Bane became the 1st Bane "Laird of Tulloch." He married in 1512 and received from his mother some property at Tulloch. His wife was a daughter of Hector Roy Mackenzie, the 1st of Gairloch, through whom also he probably received some propeperty. In 1542, King James V granted him some further lands in Tulloch and elsewhere which had belonged to his great-uncle, Farquhar Oure, whose son and previous heir had died; this apparently included Tulloch Castle. In 1553, the adjoining lands of Davochcarte (the present Dochcarty), were obtained from the Munros. He died ca. 1559, leaving issue:

Alexander, b. ca. 1515, his successor; two younger sons, John and William; a natural son, Ronald, b. ca. 1518; two daughters.

Duncan's brother, William, was taken by his employer to Papigo; met a girl named Mariot; went back to Papigo later, got work there, married her, and a son, William, was born about 1528. He died ca. 1538, and his widow married Hugh Groat in 1540. At the same time, Hugh and Mariota Bane, his spouse, granted by charter to young William Bane in Papigo the whole of the field called Stemster.

Bane, Duncan (I2897)
 
60 Duncan Bane, the Third Laird, was born ca. 1559 and succeeded his father in 1599. He married, first, Elspet, daughter and co-heir of Torquil Conanach Macleod of Lewis; and, secondly, Isabel, daughter of Alexander Mackenzie, II of Fairburn. He and his family became involved in more of the exciting activities of the times and place, including:

1. During a feud between the Mackenzies of Gairloch and the Macleods of Lewis, the grasping Mackenzie sent his son Murdoch in 1611, along with young Alexander Bane of Tulloch and others, to search for and seize a local chief in Skye; but for some unknown reason they landed at Rasay. On their arrival there, the Laird of Rasay went on board and unexpectedly found Murdoch Mackenzie in the vessel. He decided to take the latter as a prisoner, in security for his cousin whom the Laird of Gairloch was holding in captivity. However, the visitors put up a strong resistance for a considerable time, until Murdoch, Alexander Bane and the whole party except three were slain. The Laird of Rasay and most of his party also were killed, so the remaining three Mackenziemen managed to get away; but they are said to have expired on the voyage homewards.

2. In an effort to put an end to the old quarrels between his Clan and the Colquhouns of Luss, Alexander Macgregor took a party in 1602 to the borders of Luss's territory, where he expected, by the mediation of friends, to reach an amicable adjustment. However, the effort failed and Macgregor started homewards. He was followed and only his alertness enabled him to withstand a surprise attack in which he lost a brother and another man, whilst Luss lost two hundred. The Laird of Luss promptly sent notice of the disaster to the King, misrepresenting the affair in such a way as to greatly incense the King. The Clan Macgregor's version was not yet available, so the King most unfairly proclaimed them rebels and appointed the Earl o of Argyle to rout out and extirpate them, making it a crime to aid or commune with them. Argyle would enjoy this; but the highlanders greatly resented such cruel and inhuman action, especially those in Ross, and many would not be bribed. Amongst those who were fined were: William Bane, dyer in Dingwall, one pound; Alastair Bane of Logie, 1000 merks; and John MacEane vicBayne, in Caldwell, 100 merks.

Duncan died ca. 1623, having had issue, (by his 1st marriage), Alexander, b. ca. 1590; killed in 1611, as shown above; John, b. ca. 1591; his ultimate heir and successor.; Ronald, b. ca. 1597; progenitor of the Banes of Knockbain and of Donald Bain of Dingwall and Wick (Lines T and U); Kenneth, Lauchlan, Duncan, Roderick, David, Donald, Anne, Janet, Elizabeth and Agnes.

Alexander, b. ca. 1612, by the 2nd marriage; later, became the "First of Tarradale."

Note - The only direct male line from this family, which is known to continue to the present time, now diverges from the line of the lairds to pass through Ronald, the third son of Duncan and the First Bane of Knockbain.

81 I WALK THE BEACH WITH YOU IN MY HEART

By Mary Edith Bentley Abu-Saba

I meander on the beach, remembering your curls
The softness of your hair, the bounce in your step
Your stride that thrusts you way past me
Your unceasing flow of words, words, words?.

I ache to see you today on the beach
To hear your streaming sentences
Your laughter at the boys chasing the sand pigeons
Your stream of opinions about the Middle East
The World, Politics, Whose In-Whose Out.

How could it happen so quickly?moving from a
Formidable force of joy, hopes, dreams and stories
To a still and somber body gasping for breath
Refusing to go quietly into The Other World?

I fantasized pulling you back, fighting to keep you here
?But her children need her!? was my argument with Fate
?She has much to say to so many people? was another
?Simply, we can?t do without her?.so there!?

I walk in a dream-like state, trying to bargain still
Trying to think of just the exact thing I could have done
To twist your route toward continued abundant living
While walking with me on my path to the terrestrial garden

I wanted forty-seven more years of earthly encounters for you,
To read scores of books, and write fiercely
To argue with the obvious, To ask for the impossible
To shout your joy ?Look! I am Alive!?

Silence overtook me, and finally?. I accepted.
Not easily, mind you, but with determination
To hold fast to our memories of your gleaming lights,
To love and care for those little ones you left behind.

And So Let It Be.

82 IN MEMORIAM OF LT. GEN. DAVID B. POYTHRESS

10/24/43 - 1/15/17

He was as trusted, tried and respected a general as any solider could ever hope to become - decorated with three silver stars on the shoulders of his uniform for his more than 45 years of unwavering military service to the United States. He fought and led troops in combat theatres all over the world including Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Nicaragua, Guantanamo Bay and was among the first commanding generals on the ground in Afghanistan after 9/11.

As he led in battle he also led in state and civic life. He was a statesman, public servant, community leader and master mason - operating in some of the highest political offices of the state of Georgia including Assistant Attorney General, Deputy Revenue Commissioner, Secretary of State, Labor Commissioner and serving until his retirement as The Adjutant General - commanding the state's National Guard forces of Army and Air Force totaling more than fourteen thousand troops.

He was also a man committed to civic duty and a champion for positive community causes standing as longtime board member and chairman for organizations including the National Guard Association, the YMCA, Jobs For America's Graduates, Common Cause Georgia, Wesley Homes and the Atlanta Day Shelter For Women.

He was a fine father, supportive husband and role model to me (his only child), his wife Elizabeth, his stepdaughters, his many step grandchildren and to all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

For those of you who knew my father or know me - do not mourn his passing. Instead reflect on his legacy of service and allow yourself to be inspired to make positive and meaningful contributions to your country, community and family in his memory.

88 John Bane, the Fourth Laird, succeeded his father ca. 1626; married Elizabeth, dau. Roderick Mackenzie, I of Redcastle, ca. 1616; and was particularly prominent in Dingwall's municipal affairs, being Provost three times. Elis lands in the Parish of Dingwall in 1644 had a yearly rental value of ?906 6s. 8d., Scots.

Stirring events featured his time. Most important, probably, was the resistance of Charles I to the demands of Parliament for free worship, which resulted in the framing of the National Covenant in 1639. This held all who signed it bound to restore and uphold the Church of their fathers. It was enthusiastically signed by all except those of Roman leaning. The struggle became violent, and in 1649 the Royalists were defeated at Balwearie.

Soon afterwards, the Presbytery, sitting as a Spiritual Court on charges of breach of the Covenant Oath, took up the cases of Alexander and John Bane of Knockbane, Alexander Bane of Tulloch, Capt. Bane of Brahan and Alexander Bane of Tarradale. These apparently confessed that they had followed Lords Reay and Mackenzie in the rising of 1649 in support of King Charles and, before the defeat of Balwearie, had helped to capture Inverness and demolish the Town's walls. They supplicated the Presbytery to accept their repentance. The men of rank were probably fined; but, in the cases of some "common men" who were also charged, it was recognised that they had been coerced or misled, and they were dismissed on giving oath to not again take up arms against the Parliament.

John died in 1669, and was succeeded by his grandson, Donald. He had had issue;

Duncan, b. ca. 1618.

Roderick, b. ca. 1620; became "Tutor of Tulloch."

Ronald, b. ca. 1625.

John, b. ca. 1626; m. Jean, dau. Rev. Wm. Lauder of Avoch.

Elizabeth, who m. twice.

90 JOHN LOTT WALKER, M. D. One of the best known members of the medical
fraternity of Ware county, John Lott Walker. M. D., is devoted to his practice,
and well deserves the reputation he enjoys of being one of the most skillful and
faithful physicians of Waycross. A son of Elisha Walker, he was born on a farm
in Washington county, the home farm having been located ten miles south of
Tennille, and twelve miles west of Wrightsville. He comes of early colonial
stock, the immigrant ancestor of the branch of the Walker family from which he
is descended having come to America prior to the Revolution, locating very near
the northern boundary line of North Carolina.

Lott Walker, the doctor's grandfather, was born in Laurens county, Georgia,
in 1801, his father, also named Elisha Walker, having settled there on removing
from North Carolina. During the earlier part of his active career, Lott Walker
resided in Henry county, Georgia, from there removing to Johnson county, where
his wife owned a tract of land that had come to her through inheritance. He
purchased land adjoining hers and, with slave help, carried on general farming
until his death, in 1880, at the age of seventy-nine years. He married Polly
Walters, who was born in that part of Laurens county now included in Johnson
county, being a daughter of Richard Walters, a farmer, who came from Virginia to
Georgia. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lott Walker, three of them
being sons, Elisha, William and Moses, and five being daughters, as follows:
Gatsy, Ann, Melissa, Mary and Eliza.

Born in Henry county, Georgia, in 1832, Elisha Walker settled in Washington
county, Georgia, soon after his marriage, being there employed for a time in
general farming. Subsequently buying land in Johnson county, he farmed with the
help of slaves until the war between the states, and afterwards there continued
his labors until 1906. Removing then to Wrightsville, he has since lived there
retired from active pursuits, enjoying the fruits of his earlier years of toil.
His wife, whose maiden name was Martha Webb, was born in what is now Johnson
county, Georgia, in 1831, a daughter of Rev. John and Charlotte (Covington)
Webb, and granddaughter of Rev. Covington, her father and maternal grandfather
having both been ministers in the Methodist Episcopal denomination. Eight
children were born of their union, namely: John Lott, Ann, Minta, Tabitha,
Dolly, Nora, William, and Joseph.

Receiving his early education under private tutors, John Lott Walker first
attended medical lectures in Louisville, Kentucky, at the Kentucky School of
Medicine, and in 1879 was graduated from the Atlanta Medical College with the
degree of M. D. The following seven years Doctor Walker was engaged in the
practice of his profession at Wrightsville, Johnson county. In 1886 he removed
to Waycross, where he has been in continual practice since, being one of the
longest-established and most successful physicians in this part of the county.
During the quarter of a century or more that the doctor has lived in Waycross,
he has seen the city grow from a village of one thousand souls to a wide-awake,
prosperous community of fourteen times as many inhabitants, while the
surrounding country, which was but sparsely settled when he came here, has
increased its population in a corresponding ratio.

Doctor Walker has invested largely in city property, wisely buying in the
business section, where, on Jane street, he owns a commodious building. He has
served three years as a member of the state board of medical examiners, and is
now a member of the Waycross board of education and is a member of the state
board of health. Fraternally the doctor belongs to Blackshear lodge. Ancient
Free and Accepted Order of Masons; to Waycross Lodge, No. 27, Knights of
Pythias; and to Way-cross Lodge. No. 99, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Doctor Walker married, in 1883, Miss Laura Singleton, who was born and
educated in Milledgeville, Georgia, being a daughter of Samuel and Ann
(Christian) Singleton, who reared four sons and four daughters, as follows:
Samuel, Stewart, Charles, Robert, Bettie, Ellen, Martha, and Laura. Her father
was in the employ of the state, and was also engaged for several years in the
mercantile business at Eatonton, where his last days were spent. The doctor and
Mrs. Walker have four children, namely: John S., Robert C., Annie Laurie, and
Samuel E. The doctor and his wife are both members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and Mrs. Walker is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Who during a brief service of five years discharged the duties of that high office with probity, firmness, assiduity and unquestionable reputation. The devoted lovve of his family, the ardent attachment of personal friends, the admiration of the bar, and the universal approbation of his enlightened administration of justice attest the goodness and eminence of one arrested by a death too early in the bright and useful career in which he had been placed by his native state. Born July 15, 1797. Died July 4, 1834."
