    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VS.2ADE/737.1 Message Board Post: Hi Jeff, It's really coincidental that you ask about Andrew Jack Story, because I just searched out and photographed his tombstone last Saturday a week ago! He and his wife are buried in Friendship Cemetery in Columbus, Lowndes Co., MS, though she does not have a tombstone. I'm quite sure that these are the same ones you're looking for information on, though I have dates & spellings a little bit different from yours: Andrew Jack Story, b. 18 JUL 1840, d. 23 MAR 1903 married on 7 JAN 1867 in Pickens Co.,AL to Kitturah Wilson b. about 1847, d. 23 FEB 1913. A.J. Story served in Co.H, 11th Ala. in the CSA. There are also tombstones in the same plot for their daughter Mayes Story Elliott Scott b. 28 OCT 1867, d. 24 APR 1908 and her son Edward Mayes Scott b. 23 APR 1908, d. 6 FEB 1909. You can see from the dates that she died the day after giving birth to her son. Andrew Jack Story was a younger brother to my great great grandmother Sarah Evelyn Story, wife of Major Andrew D. Howard. Sarah Evelyn (15 FEB 1830 - 30 JAN 1882) was the oldest child of Allen Wiley Story (d. 6 JUL 1846) and Epsy S. Carter (d. 15 JUL 1891), both of who were born in Georgia according to my information. Bobby
