Gina, I do not think posting accident articles are in bad taste. Some of us would love to know how our ancesters died. I would also like to thank you for posting all these obits to this mailing list. I am find them quite useful. I am a descendant of the McAdams, Post, McGarity and others of Union Parish. My grandparents were Hosea "Hosie" and Mary "Aunt Mae" McAdams of Laran in Union Parish. They bought the store there from Lem Cranford. Some of you may have seen me sitting on the front porch with Grandpa eating lemons and cheese and crackers if you ever stopped at the store. Grandma and Grandpa lived in the apartment above the store when Mr. Lem ran the store. I am filling in a lot of information on the branches of my extended tree from these obits. Thank you again. Shawn Martin
