Ferrell. My father worked for Sam Peeler at the sawmill in Vaiden. I have a group photo of the men who worked there dated 1939. My father died in 1941 and the family moved to Durant where I grew up and went to school. I spent 23 years in the Army, worked another 11 years for civil service then retired. I now live in Georgia but I return to Ms. to research my family tree. Ed Brown
