Hosea Henry Clay "Hosey" Holcombe

(5 Jul 1818 - 1 Apr 1878)

Pioneer Citizens' History of Atlanta, 1833-1902, by the Pioneer Citizens' Society of Atlanta, published by Byrd Printing Company, pgs. 215-216:

"In the year 1844 I was in Atlanta, Ga. (then Marthasville), and found only a few small houses on Decatur street, opposite the Kimball House, two or three on Kile's corner, and some few scattering shanties on other points. No running of cars here then, there being no railroads completed to this point at that time (July 28, 1844). I became a citizen of Atlanta on the 4th of May, 1847. I then found a population of about two hundred and fifty or three hundred persons, counting all ages and colors, males and females.

Mr. Holcombe died from injured after falling from a bridge.
