Fifty yards from here, in a brick building, stood the gun shop of Henning Daniel Murden (1815-1903), who during the War Between the States made and supplied guns and molds to Confederate troops. Like virtually all rural gun shops in the South, it was a limited operation. The Stephens Home Guards, later Company D, 15th Georgia Infantry Regiment, the first company organized in Taliaferro County, was equipped with guns made by Murden. A grandson of Reverend soldier Richard Asbury Sr., Murden is buried in the cemetery slightly to the east of here.
