Clovernook, the towering Victorian home of L. Lanier was built in 1888 at 208 N. 18th St, Lanett after the Lanier family sold their home on West 8th St and 2nd Avenue, West Point to W. L. Williams, who made it into Hotel Virent.
A new Clovernook was built in 1918 after the old house burned. The nearby home of George H. Lanier, Sr., son of L. Lanier, burned in 1941 and he moved into the later house where his mother, Mrs. Ada Huguly Lanier, had died in 1939. Clovernook is now (1973) the home of Mrs. George H. Lanier, Sr.

West Point, Ga., Sept. 17 (AP) - George H. Lanier, head of a large textile industry, died at his home here today at the age of 68. He was president of the West Point Manufacturing Company and the Lanett Bleachery and Dye Works.
The son of Lafayette Lanier, one of the founders of the West Point concern, he assumed command of the plant upon his father's death in 1910 and embarked upon a program of expansion. Later he was made president of the textile industries of the Chattahoochee Valley and of the Dixie Cotton Mills at LaGrange, Ga.
In 1945 he organized the West Point Utilization Company and acquired a sales outlet through the purchase of Weillington Sears Company of Boston.
Mr. Lanier also belonged to concerns outside the state. He was a member of the board of directors of the Cotton Textile Institute, the Cotton Duck Association, the American Cotton Manufacturers Association, the Alabama Cotton Manufacturers Association, the Cotton Manufacturers Association of Georgia, Southern Bleachery and Dye Works at Taylors, S.C.; Cabin Crafts Inc. at Dalton, Ga., the Wehadkee Yarn Mills at Rock Mills, Ala.; the Continental Gin Company, Birmingham, and Textile Hall, Greenville, S.C.

George Huguley Lanier was the immediate boss over my family. He was over all the mills and my Murphy line (George W., then Oliver G.) was
over the Shawmut Mill. My Uncle George Callaway Zachry, son of George Huguley Zachry (who married Sarah Pope Callaway), is some relationship to your husband but I don't remember right off what the connection is. I know his tree is full of both Laniers, Huguleys and Callaways. His wife Valma Kemp Zachry (Who is coming here to NC to visit in a few days) was one of the kids who grew up in the Harrell House. He was born in the Zachry House across the street from Ft. Tyler and if memory serves me correct the opposite corner is the George Huguley Lanier house,
thought I would not swear to that. Seems that's what he told me when he took me out to Fort Tyler a couple of years ago.
Uncle George and my cousin, the late Elizabeth Zachry McKinney wrote many of the articles in the Chambers County Heritage Book, including I
believe some of the Lanier and Huguley items.
I don't get back to Valley often, but when I am going back again I'll let you know in case there is something I can do there for you.
