1 - thanks to yrs truly - 2 obits (1974) for my great uncle Ernest Copeland. 2 - a while back, I put a link to the Sec of State's pics and bios of Ruffin G. Pleasant & W. W. Heard (Union Parish boys who become Gov of LA), and tonight I added a link to the pic & bio of William Crosson Feazel, born in Union Parish, and was appt'd to be US Senator from LA for 6 mo in 1948. 3 - and this is the good one! An article on the general history of newpapers of early Union Parish from Tim Hudson. and abstracts from the Feb 11, 18, 27 and Mar 6, 13, 20 and 27 issues of the Home Advocate !!! You guys are gonna love these, and I have to disagree with Tim's earlier assertion that there is little or no genealogical information in these items. It names sherrifs, jurors, plaintifs, accused, all kinds of info! Karen Mabry Rice, USGenWeb Archives Coordinator Union Parish, Lousiana http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/union.htm
