Martha Spruce Wills - 1870 Residence; also check James Beaver.
Martha Spruce Wills (1870 residence): https://familysearch.org/tree/person/2S7D-64C/details
Also: today's research came full circle: led back to James Beaver (completely unrelated to your starting point of today); he was already on the watchlist, due to a mix-up of Georgia and Arkansas Beavers, who were so similar, it was hard to distinguish between them. Need to study again now that you've documented this one!

Robert Everett Parker, born 1857, husband of Kate Shumate. Died in Atlanta; obituary, North Georgia Citizen, Dalton, GA.
"Death Calls Bob Parker," [obituary/article on death of Robert E. Parker] in *North Georgia Citizen,* [Dalton, Georgia], Thurs., 16 Nov. 1911, pg. 1 [via Galileo: "GeorgiA LIbrary LEarning Online" library project]. http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/ngnewspapers/id:ngc1911-0357 (accessed 25 December 2016).
[Headline and subhead]: "Death Calls Bob Parker: Prominent Atlanta Man Was Well Known and Intensely Popular Here."
[Subhead 2]: "Was Vice-President of The Arnold Hat Company."
[Subhead 3]: "For Years This Energetic Business Man Followed Work and Made Great Success of His Life."
[Summary, with Quotes]:
(In Dalton), people received telephone call, stating "that Mr. Robert E. Parker, had died at his residence, No. 353 West Peachtree street, following an illness of several months."
Deceased was well known. "It was in Dalton that Mr. Parker, then a boy, started his life's work. He entered a book store here, and from Dalton went to the Dade coal mines, where he clearly showed the makeup of a man in starting to work guarding convicts." At that camp, he showed skill at sales and "he was put in charge of the commissariat department." Next: traveling salesman, successful. "Even after he had acquired a considerable interest in the Arnold Hat company, and had been made vice-president of the company, Mr. Parker would not give up his work on the road, sticking to it until he was seized with the illness which finally resulted in his decease, and literally dying in harness." Married "here" [Whitfield Co., Georgia] "to Miss Kate Shumate, daughter of the late Col. I. E. Shumate. He was a nephew of the late Col. R. J. McCamy, of this city" [Dalton, Georgia]. Survived by "sons and daughters: Robert S., of the legal firm of Brown & Randolph; Howard, with the Arnold Hat company; Lewis, with the Arnold Hat company; Misses Elizabeth, Katherine, and Margaret. / He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Mollie Parker, and two sisters, Mrs. C. C. Thorne and Mrs. H. C. Hudgins."

Study Seth Farnsworth
Subject:
Seth Farnsworth
1832 – 1 August 1864
PID: MW3G-X63
Source to study as possible match for Seth Farnsworth (but has big discrepancies, if relative).
This record could be him--but his birth place is wrong. Also, he's living in Hillsdale, Michigan, not Iowa; on the other hand, if he did live in Hillsdale for a time, that might account for him and McDougall being friends... They might have known each other before the war. Source to study: "United States Census, 1850," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MF8X-LMF : 9 November 2014), Thomas S Farnsworth in household of Charles Farnsworth, Somerset, Hillsdale, Michigan, United States; citing family 144, NARA microfilm publication M432 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.).
