Executed
Willie C George
Willie C. George, a 23-year-old Black man, was executed in the electric chair at Georgia State Prison in Milledgeville on January 18, 1929, after being held there under a state sentence. The Georgia Department of Corrections, which keeps the official record of executions in the state, lists the death as a judicial execution carried out by the state. The available source gives no further account of his life, his family, or the circumstances of the case, so the record rests on the state's own listing.
