George Golden Hawk Sizemore
Location:
Magoffin County Kentucky
Description:
22 Jul 1938 issue of The Salyersville Independent a new item tells the following information: "THREE AGED GRANDSONS SET MONUMENT TO GRAVE Jeff Sizemore 96, Calloway Montgomery 81, and Crit Montgomery 77, grandsons of George Sizemore and his wife Sallie,Commonly known as "Goldenhawk" in present times but was called George "Gulen" or "Gulden" Sizemore in earlier days. He was born ca. 1781/83. He was listed as age 77 in the 1860 Magoffin Co. KY census, the first census of the newly formed county. He died May 1864. He was a resident of the meadows section of Magoffin County near the mouth of Oakley Creek, about one mile north of Royalton, KY. He is well remembered and respected by his descendants. A great many of them travel from all parts of the United States to Magoffin County to visit his gravesite. A further mark of the reverence in which he is held is the fact that he has had a least three markers at his gravesite. He died during the Civil War and no doubt his family placed some type of marker at his gravesite which is located in what is thought to be one of the oldest cemeteries in the area. In the 1930’s several of his descendants placed another marker, an event that was reported in the Salyersville Independent. In the recently set a monument to the graves of their grandparents who died in 1864 and were buried near the old R. C. Salyer home. They were assisted by Uncle Jeff Sizemore’s grandson W. J. Sloan and his wife. "Uncle Jeff Sizemore received quite a lot of publicity recently as being one of the few veterans of the War Between the States in Floyd County. He attended the Blue and Gray Reunion at Gettysburg." This marker set in 1938 had fallen into disrepair. It had been mended but the glass inset that held the information on their ancestor had long since broken and disappeared. Now, in the year 2002, on March 30th, a new monument is erected to his memory.
