Ken Jackson wrote about this obituary: "I have the below Nettie Bowles from Attala County, Mississippi (daughter of Winston Lafayette Bowles and Josephine Townley) in my collateral lines, wife of Virgil Lee Parkerson, who is an ancestor of mine." He's not a member of our list, so you'll have to write to him directly if you recognize Winston or Nettie. Yours, Linne ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: PALMERTREE-L@rootsweb.com From: Ken Jackson <chowboy@bellsouth.net> Subject: Virgil Lee Parkerson obituary Here's another one from Faye: Ken ---------- The Clarion-Ledger Jackson, MS November 16, 1976 Virgil Lee Parkerson Kosciusko - Virgil Lee Parkerson, 81, a resident of French Camp, died in Montfort Jones Memorial Hospital in Kosciusko.
