E. R. Flewellen

E. R. Flewellen, of Barbour, a Georgian by birth and education, was elected in 1851 by the Southern Rights Party, and was a senator and a gentleman of fine representative character of that class of Southern feeling. He was a planter, unused before to the practical business of legislation, but well-informed, and composed well, and was ready in debate, especially on the political questions then agitating the public mind. In legislative and social ranks, he was regarded with much favor and respect. He served only one session, and retired to the enjoyments of private life, which he preferred, and for which he was eminently fitted by his intelligence and urbanity. He occupies a very respectable position as a citizen, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
