The dedicated author's source material is moved here from the article:

Nellie Peters Black (1851-1919) "Nellie Peters was born in Atlanta on February 9, 1851, the eldest of nine children. Her father, Richard Peters, emerged from the Civil War to become a financial and civic leader in postwar Atlanta. After graduating from finishing school, Nellie joined her family in their philanthropic and charitable endeavors. Devoutly religious and a staunch Episcopalian, she taught Sunday school and organized the city's first mission. At age twenty-six she married George Robison Black, a congressman from Screven County. The couple had three children before George Black died in 1886."
Interesting Facts About Atlanta "Atlanta was originally named Marthasville. After a the governers daughter. A man named Richard Peters, who was the superintendent of the Georgia Railroad, suggested that the name be changed because it was too long to fit on train schedules. He suggested "Atlanta" which was dervied from the Western & Atlantic depot. The name was officially adopted in 1845."
EDWARD C. PETERS HOUSE "Located on a wooded block between downtown Atlanta and the new skyscrapers at Midtown, the Edward C. Peters House is one of the finest and earliest surviving examples of domestic architecture from Atlanta's post-Civil War period. The Mansion site is all that remains of a 400- acre tract that stretched to the present site of Georgia Tech on the west to the Sears site on the east and from Crawford Long Hospital on the south to Piedmont Park on the north."
