William Dorsey Jelks was born on November 7, 1855, at Warrior Stand in present-day Macon County, to Joseph William Jelks and Jane Goodrum Frazer Jelks. Jelks's father, a Confederate Army captain, died in 1862 from wounds incurred in the war. Widowed with four young children, Jane Jelks married Major Robert Green Wright of Union Springs, in Bullock County, in January 1865. As a youth, Jelks helped support his family with odd jobs and with the fish and game he brought in from the surrounding countryside. Rising from this hardscrabble background, the ambitious young man displayed such exemplary work habits and academic potential that patrons from Union Springs awarded him a scholarship to Mercer College in Macon, Georgia. There, Jelks developed the writing skills that laid the groundwork for his future career in journalism.
