To Jim Barrett and those interested in a Mississippi Barrett Reunion. While stumbling thru my research notes from my recent MS adventure, I found some notes regarding possible sites for the MS reunion and I'd thought I'd throw them out to the interested parties for consideration..... There's Neshoba County, heart of the early Barrett homesteads in MS. The Silver Star Hotel & Casino has ample meeting rooms and reasonable hotel rooms. Easy to get to from Jackson's Airport for those out-of-stater's and an easy drive for those that can. There's Good Hope Baptist Church in Camden, Madison County. Site of Reuben Gatlin Barrett's ministry for over 30 years, the church still stands today and just last year they built a large annex for Sunday School and meeting functions. Just a short walk up the road is the 'Old Home Place', home to Richard Stancil & Susie Mitchell Barrett and their 13 children. Given to Richard and Susie as a wedding gift by my gggrandfather George T. Mitchell in 1887, the house and it's 20 acres still remain in the ownership of the Barrett clan. No lodging in the area, we' have to stay in Jackson, Canton, Kosciusko or Philadelphia. There's also Nowell Lake 'N Resort off Hwy 14 in Attala County, west of Kosciusko. No Barrett history up there to my knowledge, but quite an impressive facility. The main house is a very comfortable with ample parking for 100+ guests. The kitchen is actually a restaurant-grade serving area with a long bar, stoves, etc. Lake ' N Resort was the perfect setting for a recent Mitchell clan reunion of 100+ guests. Everyone brought food for all. Air-conditioned and only $100.00 for the facility....... That's my two cents....... r/Steven ........................................... S T E V E N M I T C H E L L
