This collection consists of papers dating from the 1910s, during Judge Atkinson's time as Savannah's assistant city attorney. It includes newspaper clippings about local politics, correspondence, a mortgage deed, several bills (including a 1912 Southern Bell telephone bill for Dixon Headquarters, a 1914 bill to Sheriff Merritt W. Dixon, and a 1917 bill from John S. Banks Music Company), and a blueprint of lot 47, Norwood Ward. Also included in the collection is a copy of the 1914 law and regulations governing the inspection of slaughter houses from Georgia's Department of Agriculture, the 1912 rules and regulations of Savannah's Board of Drainage Commissioners, and a 1914 copy of the rural mileage route for Georgia. Also included in the collection are four photographs, two of which are oversize photographs of the grave of Mar A. Berry Egan (1867-1912), the wife of Michael J. Egan, and their son Patrick H. Egan (d. 1899). The grave is in the Catholic Cemetery in Savannah. Another photograph entitled "1st Classical" depicts nine men, seven of whom are identified: Frances Kearney; Frederick Underwood; Howard A. Arthur; Marshall Gary; F. Clark; H. Bochling; and John Bouhan. The fourth photograph is a portrait of an unknown man in a riding outfit, sash, and top hat. The connection between these photographs and Judge Atkinson is unknown. The folders containing photographs are noted as "VM" (visual materials) in the collection inventory.
