 W. P. INMAN DEAD
 Prominent and Public Spirited Atlantan Dies Suddenly,
 WAS IN HIS EIGHTIETH YEAR
    He Was One of the Wealthy Men of the State and Prominently Identified with the Financial and Business Growth of Atlanta.
    Atlanta, Nov. 25, Mr. Walker P. Inman, a resident of Atlanta for nearly fifty years, president of the Atlanta Journal company, and one of it's most prominent and public-Spirited citizens, died very unexpectedly early Saturday morning at his resident on Peachtree street, in the eightieth year of his age.
    Mr. Inman's death was announced by no premonition of illness.  On Friday he visited as usual, his office in the Inman building, and was in the office of the Journal at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.  He was in his usual good spirits, and soon after the appearance of the paper he took his carriage and was driven to his house.  After supper he spent his evening with his family and retired at his usual hour.
    When he was summoned by the maid Saturday morning at 6:45, his hour for arising, no answer was received.  Becoming alarmed she immediately made known her apprehensions, and it was soon realized that Mr. Inman had passed away during the night.  His position in death was as peaceful as if he were in the midst of a sweet sleep.  His wife and the other members of his family were soon by his bedside, stricken with the profoundest sorrow at the sudden calamity which had befallen them.
    Mr. Inman had a very large family connection.  He is survived by his wife, two children, twelve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
    Walker Patterson Inman was born in Huntsville, Ala., June 18, 1828, and was therefore approaching his eightieth anniversary.  He was the son of Joan and Jane (Walker) Inman.  In early boyhood his parents returned to the old Inman home in Dandridge, Tenn., where Mr. Inman began his life work.  His first employment was in one the stores of the neighborhood, for which he received the sum of $50 per annum.  It is narrated that Mr. Inman made an excellent clerk, and laid away a small part of his annual earnings.
    He removed to Georgia in 1857, settling at Ringgold, in the northern part of the state.  In 1855 he came to Atlanta, and at the outbreak of the war, was engaged in the banking business.  He was also at this time a member of the mercantile firm of Inman, Cole & Co., one of the largest establishments at that time in Atlanta.

    AUGUSTA -- Burning the image of a fierce panther or a scantily clad woman on a piece of wood is how Don Inman reminisces about his former life as one of the city's busiest tattoo artists.
    The 66-year-old Augusta native retired his needles and ink six years ago, but he keeps his art alive through a new medium: wood burning.
    Instead of a buzzing tattoo machine, his brush is a hot wood-burning iron.
    Instead of flesh, his canvas is any scrap of wood he can lay his hands on.
    The second-generation artist and former proprietor of Ted's Tattoo (the studio named after his father, also a tattooist) likes to recycle old lumber and salvage material such as cabinet doors. But he prefers old paneling above all else.
    "I don't exactly know why," Inman says as he looks over the work in the backyard shop he built four years ago. "Maybe because it's thin and has a good grain. Maybe because it looks good on a wall."
    But don't expect to see Inman's work hanging on too many walls other than his own. He hasn't sold many pieces.
    Then again, he's not exactly marketing himself.
    "People always ask me why I don't advertise. To be honest, I don't care if I sell any or not," he said. "I'd rather give one away to someone who appreciates it."
    Inman's former studio, started by his father in 1941, was the first studio to receive a business license in Georgia and was a top tattoo destination during the 1960s and 1970s.
    Back then, tattoos were not the mainstream phenomenon they are now.
    His customers were mostly outlaw bikers, soldiers, roughnecks and topless dancers.
    Sometimes he stayed up all night tattooing hoards of hell-raisers.
    "There used to be a ton of biker gangs in this city," Inman recalled. "Some would come in [the studio] wearing pistols under each arm. . . . I miss tattooing sometimes, but I don't miss some of the people."
    Inman took over the shop when his father died in 1971 and ran it until 1993.
    He picked up his new hobby to beat the retirement doldrums, having experimented with a variety of mediums, including engraving Plexiglas with a tattoo machine and heavy-gauge needles.
    Wood burning doesn't generate the kind of money that his former art form afforded, but it does keep him busy. And, he points out, it's not as expensive as some other hobbies.
    "I wasn't about to take up golfing," he said.
    Most of his wood art is reminiscent of the old-style tattoos he used to give. In fact, the wood panels adorning his shop are identical to the tattoo drawings that used to hang on his studio walls.
    He's discovered wood burning can be just as demanding as tattooing. A mistake is permanent and must therefore be avoided. If an error is made, it must either be concealed or the whole image must be altered to accommodate it.
    Still, in some ways, wood burning is much easier.
    "The wood don't move, and it never says, 'Ouch, that hurts,' or 'I need a break,'" Inman said.

A Bit of Fact (From The Lakeland Ledger - Friday, March 15, 2002)

    As a celebration of Women's History Month, each day The Ledger profiles a significant woman or event in the state's history.

Florence Inman

    The East Polk community of Florence Villa was named after Florence Inman -- wife of a Civil War surgeon who moved from Ohio to Polk County in 1882, partly because he believed the warmer weather would help his ailing wife.
    After Florence Inman was diagnosed with a spot on her lung, her husband built a palatial, 10-room home north of Winter Haven that was named Florence Villa in honor of her.
    Before she died in 1916, the home became a regular stopping place for the Inmans' friends, who were drawn to Central Florida by the couple's praise for the area.
    So many people visited, however, that the Inmans converted it into a 49-room hotel, which eventually gave rise to its own community surrounding it.
    The families of black workers who staffed the hotel (which remained opened until the 1930s) flourished, and today the predominantly black neighborhoods in the
northeast section of Winter Haven remain known as Florence Villa.
