Camilla Moore Merts
ALBANY - Camilla Moore Merts died Thursday, February 6, 2003. She was born in Atlanta, GA, on November 14, 1923. During her early childhood she and her family moved to Roswell, GA. She received Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and mathematics from Agnes Scott College. In the early 1950's she moved to Albany with husband and son.
She attended classes at Georgia State University, the University of Georgia, Florida State University, and Auburn University where she obtained a Master's degree in education and a specialist degree in special education. She then served in the Dougherty County School System as both teacher and special education director for twenty-eight years. During this period she was recognized for her "faithful and outstanding service to the education of young people." She was also recognized for the "outstanding support of special education field day activities." She received an award for "dedication and service to the Council of Exceptional Children."
Ms. Merts later became a property owner in the wildlife refuge of Little Cumberland Island on the Georgia coast. There she became a champion for saving and/or restoring the lighthouse on the island. For this purpose, she solicited and received the services of New York architect Walter Sedovic, who had previously been instrumental in restoring several other lighthouses throughout the country. Through this effort the lighthouse is preserved for posterity from further disintegration. During this period she also extensively studied the history of the lighthouse and the island during the Civil War period. While doing so, she examined naval archive records in Washington, D.C. This study resulted in her published paper entitled "The Story of Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse." The island membership awarded her the Henry Meigs award for this outstanding service to Little Cumberland Island.
Her environmental interests included the activities of The Wilderness Society, The Sierra Club, The Georgia Conservancy, Nature Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, and the Audubon Society.
She has collected an extensive library of books on Georgia history and natural resource guide books. Her collection of primarily Georgian folk art, prints, and artifacts also attest to her interest in nature and local history.
She is survived by her husband, Milton; her son, Peter; her daughter, Elizabeth Albritton; her son-in-law, Robert Albritton; and two grandchildren Caitlin Albritton and Nicholas Albritton. She is also survived by her brother, Dr. Victor Moore and his two children Katherine McKinney and Gus Moore and her husband's sisters Margaret Workman and Marion Meidling.
