Biography

Mattie was born in Georgia about 1864 to David Coleman and Sarah Atkinson.

Her grandfather wrote a detailed Atkinson Family History in 1879 in which her mother and her two husbands, and their children are mentioned. Mattie had three brothers, Henry Watson, John Milton and Franklin Burkett, and two half-brothers, James S. and Thomas McClendon.[1]

In 1880, the family was living in Jonesboro, Clayton, Georgia[2]

Mattie appears to have married Alonzo B. Rivers on 28 Nov 1882 in Clayton, County, Georgia.[3]

She passed away in 1948.[4] Burial was in the Jonesboro City Cemetery in Jonesboro, Clayton County, Georgia.[5] She is buried in the same cemetery with her brother, John Milton, and her parents.
