GENEALOGY WORKSHOP

Ludie’s Genealogy Class  December 18, 19.  Two sessions each day beginning
at 4:00-5:30 P.M. and 6:30-8:00.  Easy armchair friendly to newbies looking
for EZ way to World Wide Web and the Vast amount of information.  Bring
canned goods or a donation for county to put in food baskets for elderly
and others less fortunate.  This is optional as you know and the class is
free.  I was very encouraged at the last class with the participation we
had.

I received a query last week from the Stamps family, Elisha S. Stamps born
July 7, 1798.  He married Elibra ? and is seeking maiden name of above.
Elisa died September 15, 1861 Prentis, Ms. Elisha was the son of William
Stamps b. 1772, VA who settled in Southern Mississippi in 1816.


A friend of genealogy and I were visiting the other day discussing pictures
of the old McKamie school.  I happened to look at an old Look Back
published by our Historical Society and there it was.  The edition isVol.
X111 Spring 1996, also included on same page a wonderful picture of the Ida
Carlton store building east of the L&A Railroad.  As a child I remember
waiting to meet the train and it was called the Late and Anger.  Another
tid-bit the Carlton Devanie Post American Legion #49 is named after L. M.
Carlton’s grand son Kennth Fort Carlson who died during World War 1 in
Europe.  (See what you’re  missing by not joining our Historical Society!)
On page 20 of this issue are three of our beautiful churches, two located
on Church street and the other on Main Street.  Presbyterian photographed
beautifully, as did the Methodist and the First Baptist.

Happy Hunting
