Hello Listers, I have Jesse Avery who died in Aug. 1972 (sorry no day) who last resided in Crystal Springs, MS. Jesse was born in AL. His wife was Mira Avery. Can anyone help in locating an obit. on Jesse? If not, can someone tell me the name or names of any local funeral homes operating in 1972? Or maybe the name of the local library that could help me. Thanks in advance. Don Avery Massachusetts

Hi again, Another thought. I will be in that area in October. If you haven't got any info by then, I will look up the obit in the local papers.

Hi, The Hazelhurst Library in Hazelhurt, one town below Crystal Springs has an incredible genealogy library. The guy who runs the geneaology section of the library has an antiques business in town as well. He is a wealth of information. Knows a little something about all the local families. I would give them a try. Annie Donald Avery wrote: > > Hello Listers, > > I have Jesse Avery who died in Aug. 1972 (sorry no day) who last resided in Crystal Springs, MS. Jesse was born in AL.

Hi, Don - Do you have a mailing address on Avery's? It's possible that would help if we know someone who lives in same neighborhood. This isn't like a 1800 search - their may be living neighbors or friends who could help if we could narrow this a little more. Good luck!

The Meteor is the name of the local newspaper and Mr. Carney is the owner/editor with his family having owned the paper for many many years.

Hello, I'm new to the MSCOPIAH list. Hope someone can help please. I'm looking for info on Mira AVERY, wife of Jesse Avery who probably died in the 1960's in the Crystal Spring area. Jesse & Mira lived most of their married life in Meridian, MS. It was believed that Mira returned to Crystal Springs after Jesse's death, so she could be closer to her sisters. Jesse was originally from the Dothan, AL area. I do not know Mira's maiden name. I do know that they had no children. Does anyone recognize this couple? Thanks in advance, Don Avery Massachusetts

SORRY BARBARA------I had written to Lynda---oopps!, but thanks to both of you ! Leslie Hill

Lynda: Thank you SO much for taking the time to give all those! One of them listed is indeed the one I was looking for. You are so helpful, and I hope everyone appreciates all you do. Thanks again-- Leslie Hill

Hi Lynda: They might be on the 1880 census---they married in June of 1880. I know that they had three daughters, and one daughter married an IZARD, another a KING, but I've been unable to find out anymore. I do appreciate your help. Leslie Hill

My great aunt was Nannie G. TILLMAN (1860-1946), married to Thomas C. TILLMAN. They are both buried in Stronghope Cemetery, east of Wesson. Nannie was born and raised in Wesson I believe. I'm looking for anyone who knew this family or any of their children. Thanks for any help--- Leslie S. Hill

they should be on the 1910 and 1920 census right,, maybe the 1880 I will have my census index, soon, they are behind with the shipment will be happy to check for you, and as I go through the census on Copiah county, which is not indexed, I will keep this in mind At 11:32 PM 7/2/2001 EDT, LHill42731@aol.com wrote: >My great aunt was Nannie G.

I am searching for a James E. Weymouth who probably had a brother Rev. Henry C. Weymouth of New Orleans, LA. James married Laura Stiles Moore in Copiah Co., MS on 16 Jul 1868. I found them on the census index for Copiah Co., MS for 1870. Laura died in 1872. Does anyone on the list have access to the 1870 census for Copiah County? I desperately need a look up. James is found on in Beaureguard and I believe he's listed on page 091 of that census.... I really need the data on the family....Laura MIGHT have had a child before she died. I'd like to know.
