From newspaper Obit, April 2, 1877 Dr. O.G. Eiland, died at his residence, near
Scooba, Miss., January 25, 1877, was born in Hancock County, Georgia, December 25, 1806, was reared
in Perry County, Ala., and educated at Athens, Georgia. Was married to Mary Hatcher, daughter of Colonel
James Hatcher, of Dallas, Ala., in 1835. Dr. Eiland was a man of strong individuality and somewhat
peculiar characteristics. He was a man of strong native intellect, nice sensibilites, fine general culture
and splendid acquirements in his profession, which he practiced in Marion, Ala., for the first decade
of his professional life with eminent success; was one of the founders and first trustees of the celebrated
Judson Institute of Marion, Ala. Becoming involved by security and otherwise, he lost his fortune
in the crash of 1838-40; moved to Lauderdale County, Miss., in 1845, where, in a few years, by a very
large and successful practice of his profession, he laid the foundation of another fortune, most of
which was swept away by the late war. Dr. Eiland was twice married, losing his first wife in 1852;
was married to Miss Mary Dabbs, of DeKalb, Miss., in 1856, who survives him. He had ten children, six
of whom are living, had been a member of the Baptist Church for thirty years, and died in the Saviour
whom he had so long worshipped.

About Alice Eiland:
Alice Eiland is buried in the Pinecrest cemetery with the Oliver G Eiland family. I cannot find that
she is actually a daughter of Oliver. On the 1840 census, Perry Co, Al he does not have a daughter
her age in the household. She is not on the 1850 census or any other census that I could find. I have
left her on the tree because of her inclusion on other internet trees.
