Gold Star Honor Roll for Athens and Clarke County
Athens Historian Volume I (1996)
Compiled by Dr. Goodloe Y. Erwin & Mike Chapman
Donations of $9,000 by friends, family and citizens led to the
dedication of a bronze plaque on May 27, 1996, listing the names
of men from Athens and Clarke County who died in
World War I and World War II.
The plaque is placed on a stone marker at the entrance to
Memorial Park, which was named in honor of the men and
women who served in the two world wars.
Dr. Goodloe Y. Erwin, past President of the Athens Historical
Society, and Mike Cheatham compiled the list after lengthy research:
