There is also a Providence Campground Cemetery in Copiah County, MS. A listing of burials is on the Copiah County Genweb site.

I received this letter and it made my heart swell as a Mississippian. Perhaps you will appreciate it too. ======================================================= >>>>>......  I haven't read Miss Welty in some time but did very much like her works. As for drawls and suchlike, the sound of English is richest when it comes from Southern voices and from the 26 counties of the Irish republic. Language is sound pure and simple. I reckon it's no accident that the best writers in English come from the US South and Ireland.

I found two Campground Cemeteries. One in Prentis Co., one in Winston Co. http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form <A HREF="http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form">Click here: USGS GNIS (GNIS)</A> Grant Searching for JOHNSTON, JOHNIKEN, MIDDLETON, WILKINSON, and related names in AL.

I don't have the burials for the cemetery, but according to the GNIS site, there is a Campground Cemetery in both Prentiss and Winston Counties.

Grant, noticed you are researching Johnston - my late husband was Donald D. Johnston, Sr. born and buried in Alamance County, NC. Can't add too much to your research (if any)but can supply dates of Don's birth, death and the births of his sons and his grandchildren. --- GWJCAL@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 7/24/01 4:20:19 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > jhubbard@mcn.org > writes: > > > > It's too bad the lists can't make having and using Norton or > Macafee a > > requirement of joining....

Sorry, but I have Norton, and Hotmail uses McAfee to scan every message that comes into my box, but I still got one. McAfee said it was clean...MSN had not updated the McAfee...

I have a virus program but others may not have the money to spend in that way and take the important things away from the rest of the family namely: food, clothing, shelter, some people are not as "RICH" as the rest of us. Bobby

Dear List, I joined this list to search for my family ties to Mississippi. I have made some wonderful discoveries with the help of many who took the time to search for me and provide answers from their own material. For that I am truly grateful. However, tonight I have spent countless time opening 15 items on the list, HOPING, for genealogy information. But what I find are statements taken out of context, barbs, and flaming about viruses. Someone thought enough of EVERYONE on the list to let us know that there is a virus among us.....going through personal email. For that I say thank you. My anti-virus program ran out this week, and although my computer was not affected....I thank you for the reminder of how important this is and I had it renewed today. But I think that all that can be said on the subject.....has been said. No one on this list is Dumb or Cheap. We all had enough money to purchase our computers and certainly are smart enough to learn to use them. Can we not bring this to a close? Susan

If you never lived in Utah you would not know this, but July 24 is "Pioneer Day," a holiday commemorating the Mormon Pioneers who crossed the Great Plains in wagons and pulling or pushing carts over the Wasatch mountains to originally settle in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah...almost all the businesses including Banks, etc. are closed, especially those with Mormon owners. It is more widely celebrated and with more passion than July 4th...

William Arnold, born ca 1846, Copiah County, MS - parents were James Monroe and Telitha Katz Arnold. William married Sarah Jane Dowden in Franklin County, MS on July 29, 1863. By 1870 William and Sarah had three children-Richard, Vienna, and William, Jr. Lost track of this family. Anyone have any information on these people? Thanks, Gordon

I subscribed to Ancestry.com a few months back by telephone for their quarterly package deal. Last week I recieved notice that if I did not reply to them by phone before July 30, I would be billed automatically for the next term. Now I take full responsibility if I didn't read that portion of my contract with them but, when I tried to call yesterday through the automated system, I was on hold no less than 20-25 minutes. So I thought that if I went through the automated system to purchase something, they would surely pick up the phone. Sure enough, first ring they picked up. I explained myself and was told the best day to call them on was Thursday and Friday. Well, I tried to call today, and did you know it was a Holiday there. I'm not sure which one, but that is what the recording explained. So I tried the other number, the non toll free number; I was on hold again with the message finall telling me to leave my number and they would return my call. Now for the best part... When I called my credit card company I was told they cannot put a STOP PAYMENT due to the fact that Ancestry already has my number. So if you are going to subscribe to them be sure to pay in check, not credit card. Or you may be automatically billed. On thing is for sure, unless you are buying something there, you are going to be on hold for some time. Seems to me their business has been a little deceptive or,..someone slipped a holiday by me that I wasn't told about.
