Carol, just to let you know I hope to go see your mother and father sometime during the month of April. I'm going to Louisiana and Mississippi, leaving on April 18th. I'm going to Clarksdale, MS for my 50th high school reunion on April 30-May 1, and then my sister Jean and I are going to the Johnson family reunion in Jackson on Sunday, May 2nd. This is a reunion for the descendants of Joseph Abner Johnson and Mary Undine Brown, and John Randal Johnson and Louisa Frances (Fanny) Clark. I'm sure we would welcome all descendants of John Randal Johnson's brother, James H. Johnson and his wife, Augusta Savell, as well. Maybe, just maybe, we will be able to go on over into Neshoba Co and Union Co. We will be in Jean's car and she is now 88 years old, so I'll have to convince her of that.

So he is a great resource for directions. The UPS drivers used to call him for directions when they needed to deliver packages in the area. I would go with him to either drive or stuff boxes when he would have surgery during the time that I was growing up. High Hill was one of the churches that we passed. We enjoyed our mapping project last week which included reminiscing about the older people that are now gone. Next time I go home we will map the cemeteries we missed in that area and then get those on the East side of Hwy 15, which we didn't have time to do this trip. > Carol Shrader > > > > From: "Ann McDonald" <mcdonald@bpsnetworks.com> > > Date: 2004/03/09 Tue PM 01:13:38 EST > > To: MSNESHOB-L@rootsweb.com > > Subject: RE: [MSNESHOB] Cemetery Directions > > > > My thanks to Carol for all the help she has provided to the list.
