History

In the Upper Coastal Plains Region of Georgia, Bleckley County was formed in 1912 from Pulaski County. Its county seat, Cochran, is on US-129A about 130 miles southeast of Atlanta and 35 miles southeast of Macon. Bleckley is bordered by the counties of Twiggs, Laurens, Dodge, Pulaski and Houston.

Georgia Deaths, 1919-1998

Ancestry.com Online database, 2001.
Original Source:
State of Georgia. Indexes of Vital Records for Georgia: Deaths, 1919-98. Georgia: Georgia Health Department, Office of Vital Records, 1998.

Note by Warren Culpepper. The GA Death Index shows all of these people as dying in Muscogee County but residing in Bleckley County. However, there is no supporting evidence for this, and there is some evidence to the contrary.
For example, the obituary for Charles B. Culpepper (#36815) specifies a residence and business in Columbus, GA (Muscogee Co.) and makes no mention of Bleckley Co., which is over 100 miles away. Since no other Culpepper records appear in Bleckley County, I believe that there was probably a coding error and these people should have been shown with a residence in Muscogee, not Bleckley, County.
