Mormon Springs, MS must be a village, it has it's own zip code: Mormon Springs, MS 39740 ...and you can Mapquest or Google Map it, and it shows up....

I'll get my Monroe Co. Book out and Mother Monroe as soon as I can and see what I find for you, if you like. I believe Morman Springs is/was just a community. It is possible for it to have a rural post office. Some of the post offices that show up in Carroll Co. will shock you ... just on the side of the road! As for Wolfe Rd., I was reading something on it last night, in Dr. W. Lowndes Lipscomb's History of Columbus, and how it came by the name ... apparently an infestation of wolves in the area in early days ... along with bear and other such "critters".

Hmmm Mormon Springs is just 11 miles from Hamilton...it appears to be on Wolfe Road... I must admit...growing up just 11 miles down the road...NEVER heard of Mormom Springs... Taking Wolfe Road..never noticed a "mormon springs"... This is odd...to me considering how long I lived there and I'd be interested in any information anyone has..... By the way....I will be going back home after Christmas a few days I might take a drive down that road...although I will only be there about three days over the weekend I tend to not do anything but visit my dad and brother when I'm there....I only see them about once a year But I will..at the very least...ask about this place.
