For Barbara Lang Posey: This is the obituary of a granddaughter of William E. Lang, your grandfather's brother. Bessie Maude's mother was the Mrs. Roy Binns who was a daughter of William E. Lang. We have talked about Bessie Maude's brother, Milton Roy Binns before. BESSIE MAUDE BINNS Bessie Maude Binns, 72, of Memphis, Tenn. died Monday, Sept. 7, 1998 at Saint Francis Hospital in Memphis. She was born and raised in Monticello. She was a retired registered laboratory technician, a former owner of an answering service and a member of Speedway Baptist Church. Survivors include one sister, Betty Jean Binns of Houston, Texas and a nephew who cared for her, Howard Van Binns of Memphis. Funeral services were held Thursday, Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. at the Memphis Funeral Home Poplar Chapel with burial in Oakland Cemetery in Monticello on Friday. ********************************* Roy (Milton Roy, Jr.) Binns owned Getwell Drug Store in Memphis until his death several years ago. Andy Shaw, father of Deborah Akin of this list, was a very close friend of Roy. Deborah, do you have an address for Barbara, Roy's widow or Howard, their son. The last time we talked with Andy about the Getwell Drug Store, Howard was wanting to sell it. Carolyn Haisty jhaisty@tcac.com

Ora Hales was married first to Clarence Barbre, then to Matt Knowles. With Clarence Barbre, Ora had 3 girls: May, Nora, and Clara. May died ~age 14 and is buried at Ozment Valley. I don't know what happened to Clara. Did Matt Knowles and Ora Hales only have one child together, Claudia? Again, Beth, not sure if this is the answer to the Velma Davis connection, but it is a Grubbs connection that I know of. --Melissa

Apparently there were several families who were of no relation to each other. Beth has told of John Henry Harvey's family. My Harvey family descended from Jesse Sherwood Harvey - of NO relation to John Henry's family. There were other Harveys who married into the Phillips line and I haven't placed them yet. So - that gives you three Harvey families. Jesse Sherwood Harvey came to Drew Co. from Hardeman Co. TN and before that Halifax Co. NC. This Harvey family lived at Selma and so did some of John Henry Harvey's family, but again - NO RELATION! Carolyn

> >How common of a surname is "Harvey"?? Mr. John Henry Harvey, son of Chris Harvey, had a brother named Wesley Harvey. These harves came from down around Midway. Later, Mr. John Henry and Mrs. ORa LEE Harvey had a son named either John Wesley or James Wesley. Mrs. Ora is still alive and living with one of her daughters , either Ora May Wood(wife of John) or Jo Ann Johnson (widow of Morrison Johnson). They might know something about the Harvey origin.BETH

Monticellonian: The funeral of Jay Pickney Burks, 64 years of age, who died at his home in Helena Sunday, was held at Oakland cemetery here Monday afternoon at 4:30, conducted by Rev. J.M. Hamilton and Rev. John L. Hoover. Mr. Burks was managing editor of the Helena World, which position he had held for the past twenty-four years, having to give up his work at his desk on December 5, 1934, due to illness from heart disease which caused his death Sunday. Mr. Burks was born at Monticello February 5, 1872, the son of Capt. William Pinckney Burks and Margaret Hemingway Burks, the former of Monticello and the latter a native of Carrol county, Mississippi. In 1893 he married Miss Addie Dozier of Monticello. Mrs. Burks, with two sons, Edwin L. Burks, commander of the Helena post of the American Legion and William Pinckney Burks of Shreveport, La., and a daughter, Mrs. Warfield Gist of Helena survive. He began his newspaper career here with the Monticellonian, and later with Dr. W.F. Bellelieu (sic), established "The Advance" here in Monticello. Successively, he was with the Pine Bluff Graphic and the Arkansas Democrat at Little Rock, then going to Helena in 1908 to manage the Helena World. After two years in Helena, he went to Hot Springs as managing editor of the old Bulletin, published by the militant editor and minister, the Rev. W.T. Amis. He then returned to Helena World as its managing editor which position he had since held. He was a fluent writer and expressed his convictions on subjects that were topics of the day. Through Mr. Burks over the signature of "L.H." The Advance is indebted for many articles that appeared in this paper that reminsciences of Drew County history. He had made notes for other articles but on account of health had to give this idea up. When finding out the true condition of his health, in June 1833, Mr. Burks penned the following lines which were to be given his family following his death and which speak truer the kind of man that he was than any words that we could write: "To Addie and our Beloved Children--"Do not wear mourning for me, grief is like patriotism; it is in the heart and not on the outside. Do not devote any money to the expense of an elaborate funeral or cost of a fine coffin. Use what little money there may be for some better purpose. Bury me at Monticello if you think best. Living, I think I would like to rest there among our beloved dead, Dead, I will not know the difference. So use your own judgment and do not let sentiment overweigh your good sense. Let no elaborate service be said anywhere in the church, if there should be such a service (which isn't necessary), or at the grave if there is no church service. A simple prayer if you want it, and reading the 23rd Psalm will be sufficient. Omit the music, which only accentuates grief and causes unnecessary suffering. If there should be a brief talk by the minister, let him say that I lived according to my lights, doing my best under all circumstances; that I had no great admiration for worldly religions that warred with each other even to the point of slaughter and torture, but that I had profound respect and love for the Creator, who will deal with you and me precisely as a loving father should. There is nothing to fear from that. Remember this, Addie, my sweetheart; That while you and I must go sooner or later, we will leave a rich heritage and live again in our children and our children's children, and so on to the end. Nothing can erase our blood from those who have come from our bodies. They are blood of our blood and flesh of our flesh, and thus you and I will live on and on until the end of time, or until our descendants cease to be, which God forbid. If anyone asks you, what sort of man I was, tell him that I thought more of human happiness than of riches; that I loved those dear to me and though of them often; that I honored my friends and loved them, and cared nothing for the opinions of such enemies as I might have had. Tell him that I never wilfully wronged a single human being whether friend or enemy and that I died with a clear conscience. Finally, remember me as tenderly as you wish, but live you own lives in your own way. Defend what is your own, but take nothing that is not yours. Stand up for what you believe to be right, but do no wrong to any one. Do these things, and in the end you will face fearlessly, as I do." 15 June, 1936. signed Jay Pinckney Burks. A service was first held at the First Methodist church at Helena at 10:30 Maonday and the body was brought to McGehee over the Missouri Pacific and there met by the Stephenson Funeral Home ambulance and brought to Monticello.
