Hi, thank you for the hard work that you have put into this family. I wanted to share some info about Andrew Sherman Postell (son of Elisha Postell). He was accused of stealing a pair of boots and given 8 years in the Atlanta Penitentiary. He proclaimed his innocence and was supported by family, friends and neighbors. During his stay in Atlanta, he was sent to the 'convict brickworks' where he died of unknown causes in his mid 30's. He left behind his young girls and wife to mourn him. I believe I have a copy of the news clipping if it is needed. My father's grandmother was Andrew's daughter Martha Postell and she told him the story as well.
Hi my great grandfather Loyd Jay Postell brother to Martha. I was seeking more information on him his birth and my great great grandpa Andrew Sherman Postell's death. Reply to supermanap14@gmail.com. Thank my name is Daniel Postell.
