I am searching for any information on this family from Mississippi. This includes about all I know about them. My grandfather passed before I was old enough to realize that I did not know anything about his family history. Now, I find out that no one else in the family knows much more than I do. I found this today in an old family Bible. It was cut from a newspaper but did not have the name of the paper on the clipping. I am searching for any information on this family. They are my grandfather's family and this is about all I have on them. My grandfather passed before I was old enough to realize that I knew nothing about his family. Now I find that no one knows any more than I do about them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brenda in NC "Rites At Mathiston For Mrs. Jones" "Mathiston-MS.
