In 1864, the Felton’s left their farm and took refuge in Central Georgia with many of their slaves, cattle, and farming equipment. As refugees, they faced many hardships, including food shortages, unpleasant living conditions, and sickness. William and John, the only two surviving children of Rebecca and William Felton, were included in the losses due to illness that Rebecca blamed on their poor living conditions. Rebecca and her husband returned to their plantation in 1865 to find “desolation and destruction everywhere, grinding poverty.” The crops were destroyed, the house was in ruins, and it was a necessity that they “both become wage-earners”. They began to slowly rebuild their lives with Rebecca Felton stating, “I will never be poor again.” Dr. Felton would return to farming to earn money, and when they had finally accrued enough, they would open the Felton Academy where they would both

It is a bright metal with a white color and that is exactly where the name ‘bismuth’ comes from.

Eventually the scientist, who was better known as Paracelsus, mentioned the word ‘Bisemutum’, the latin term for the german word. And that is how we use to name
