Greg, I haven't visited this site yet, but is it the one that gives a history of the Mormons as they crossed/passed through on their way to Utah? Seems I remember reading about their path of travel out of Monroe Co. and up the MS to cross (maybe) near where St. Louis is now and on into Colorado? I remember the route sounding strange until I considered a person's ability and opportunities to cross the MS in the day. Gracie P.S. It is great to see this list so active right now!!! I've been a member for several years and have never seen this much activity so quickly!!! I love it! It is rivaling my Mayfield list for attention at the moment! ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 8:58 PM Subject: [MSMONROE] Mississippi Saints For those interested he is a place to start looking at the Mormons of Monroe County: http://www.utahcrossroads.org/newsv8n2.htm Scroll down page until you see this article: The Forgotten Pioneers, Part I by Norma B.

Amen on the joy over the activity on the list. Once we settle the monument puzzle, I'd love to see if anyone knows where the three country stores that are pictured on my website were located. The three stores were Taylor's, Murffs, and Pickle's http://www.easterfamily.net/Site%20Documents/Country_Store_Main.htm The National Archives has these pictures but no location given. Can anyone help? Wayne E.
