Cindy, Thanks for the article about the Battle of Marianna. The boy courier on p. 230, Arthur Lewis, was my great-grandfather. We have our own family story in his words written by Fanny Bryan Chapman (for a Marianna newspaper, I think) in which he describes his discovery that the yankees were coming and his adventure trying to get back to Marianna to warn Col. Montgomery and subsequent activities before and during the battle. It was written down many years after the battle, but it makes a great story. His father was the other Arthur Lewis listed in the Marianna Home Guard, p.240. The latter was wounded on the day of the battle and died two days later. Cynthia

My granny said the white wash was made of a lime mixture; it discouraged insects and bugs -- to keep them from the fruit in the (pecan) trees. Lime is also a kind of fertilizer so it didn't hurt the trunks, and did make the area look cleaner and 'prettier' (?) .

Charley F. Henderson did have a son, Charles Leroy Henderson, but I have no information about him. There is a tombstone in Nettle Ridge Cemetery, Calhoun Co., with that name, and it has him dying in 1936. I figured it was him, but could be wrong. Thanks so much for your offer to help.

I've seen old photographs of home sites where the trunks of the trees are painted white up to about head high. Does anyone know why?

Hi, Back in the 1970s Will Peacock of Marianna gave me some information about the Henderson family, including a comment about Charley F. Henderson. (Charley was a son of John Bryant Henderson, who died in Jackson Co. in 1911). Will said that Charley was killed in a gun fight while a deputy sheriff in 1913 in Jackson County. Does anyone have any information about Charley and this episode? I would love to find a picture of him if one exists. Any information about this man or his family would be appreciated. Sue

There was a certain kind of paint they used to use that kept insects from attacking the trees. I guess they found better ways to kill the bugs and don't do it anymore.

Deanna, I am from the ROLLING STORE DAYS. The Malloys of Marianna AND the Wildwood community. Dallas, Hershel, and their younger brother (? Don’t remember his name) all had rolling stores at one time or other. They are the same Malloys who own the Gladiola farms south of Marianna out by I-10. What you are talking about was just in town of Marianna probably because I never saw anything like that in the country. I have lived in the area since 1929!

My mother grew up in Marianna. She remembers after WW II when she was a small child viewing movies from a truck on the street. The peddler would set up chairs on the street and hang a make shift screen out of a sheet or something similar. She said they would have intermissions several times during the movie to sell items. I was hoping someone else might remember or has heard of this. Or perhaps knows the name of individuals that may have had rolling stores in the area during this time.

Dear Friends: There will be an honor guard ceremony at Riverside Cemetery, Marianna, FL on Saturday, September 22, 2007, at 9 AM CST, at the cemetery. A granite stone has been placed there to commemorate the Confederate Soldiers buried there. See the website for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Marianna, FL. Theophilus West, MD, Camp 1346, for details at: _http://www.scvcamp1346.org_ (http://www.scvcamp1346.org/) There will also be an honor guard ceremony at Cow Pen Pond Cemetery, in northeast Jackson County, FL, on Saturday, September 29, 2007, at 10 AM CST. The placement of a Confederate Soldiers tombstone will be honored. He is an ancestor of fellow re-enactor and Jackson County, FL native, Gene Stephens, of Grand Ridge, FL. I will be giving all of you specific directions and driving instructions for both events as soon as I receive them. If any of you have a portable public address system, please let me know. I am searching for one that has Confederate Telegraph capabilities, ie., Duracell, to use at the cemeteries. If you can attend one or both of these events, Please contact me and tell me who you are and how many muskets will be with you. I need at least 7 strong and healthy soldiers with rounds rolled for the honor guard. There is also plenty of room for more.

We had the "Rolling Store" call on us twice weekly. My dear mother would save up her eggs and also the hens that didn't produce eggs were bartered to the Rolling Store manager for goods she would need until his return. I can see her standing on the small platform built on to the back of the rolling store looking over the goods on board the rolling store. There were chicken coops underneath to put the chickens he would trade in for staple goods, 24 lb. bags of flour, 5 lb. sugur, etc. Of course, it was rationed and you had to have your ration coupens or tokens ready to give him. But wern't those supposed to be "the good 'ole days?" We lived about 5 miles north of the Florida State Line and our address was Rt. 1, Campbellton, FL. Mr. Crutchfield from Campbellton was our rural carrier. Also Rt 2, Cottonwood, AL served the Big Creek Community (which had its own Post Office at one time..
