henning daniel murden
« on: April 10, 2014, 04:57:38 AM »
I was returning from The Masters practice round to atlanta today and decided to take the back roads and hit the flea markets of rural georgia. On rt 278 I saw a historic marker for the confederate gun shop of henning murden. Said it was a brick building and no longer there.  I stopped and talked to walter next door, a very nice guy.  He said the yanks burned it on the march to atlanta.  Anyone ever see one of his guns?

Yes, a pre-war halfstock. Nicely done.

Mr. Meister,
  Last time any Armstrong County related Shrecks' were near Atlanta this time of year, they ended up in Camp Sumter ::)
  Please be careful, and sorry no help on the gunsmith in question.
                       Peace Out....Shreck ( NOT Meister )

Jerry Nobles first book lists Daniel Murden 1815-1903.  There are some Confederate guns of Greenwood & Gray that carry his name.

He lived a good long life for a guy in that day.  He would have been about my age when his
shop was burned down.  Would be an interesting story to flesh out.
