My Woods grandparents and several Sims great-uncles are buried as Doty Springs, as well as a host of cousins of their generation. My g-great grandfather Rev. Jonathan Sims and / or his father Rev. David Sims were said to have been pastors at Doty Springs. Two of Jonathan Sims sons who died relatively young are buried there. That one or both men had been pastors therer was unknown to me as a child growing up in the 1950's. A precious memory of Doty Springs was the Homecoming, I recall it as the 3rd Sunday in May, in which the day was spent eating and avoiding the hugs from my Mom and Dad's kin. I recall my Dad pointing out an older grave, that of a Jennings man. (He had a granddaughter married to one of the sons of La Velle Sanders.) It seems that the old man claimed a burial plot near the gate so he would be the first out on resurrection day. Dad says that they buried him as he wished and then moved the fence and gate back quite a way. Does the chuch still celebrate a homecoming? James Sims, b. Kosy 1948, raised in Pascagoula
