Mostly waiting for power to be restored. But still no word from family.

My Dad and brother live in Star, about 6 miles south of Florence, and they don't have phone service or power. As for power, it depends mainly if you're on Entergy or Southern Pine. It looks like Entergy has restored power to most of the customers in the area, but Southern Pine is going to take another week or so.

I have some family that are in Brookhaven and Hazlehurst, that's near Florence, isn't it. I got email from them earlier in the week. They had electricity in some places but not others and no gas. Trees down every where. Becky in Ohio

This is my understanding 3rd hand. Crystal Springs, Raymond, Magee, Mendenhall, Laurel and Hattiesburg was hit hard. Richland, Florence, Pearl, Polkville, Puckett, Brandon and Jackson not hurt too bad.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XJB.2ACE/401.1.1 Message Board Post: Was researching Grady Lee Myers and came across an obituary in the Vicksburg Post (Mississippi). The obit (DOD 04/03/2004) listed David Norman Myers and Lula Ellie Myers as his parents. It listed his brothers as Luther, Hardy, Joe and Kersh. ,His sisters were Corene, Myrtis, Louise, Merl and Bertha. Grady was born in Oak Grove, Coushatta, LA. (Were there two marriages?) The paper called Ruth ?Zagar as his wife. No mention was made of his first wife Alexandra, nor of his son William. This marriage happened when Grady was in the Navy. They lived in Groton, CT when he retired. After Grady's retirement, he moved to Louisianna and was never heard from again. Alexandra died October 25, 1988. I don't think this is the exact information you were looking for, but, perhaps if you track down that obit, you can find what you want from one of the other mentioned people, especially the sisters, women are good at this sort of thing. If you would, would you please keep me appr! ised? I'm still not sure who David Norman Myers' parents were. Thank you.

I can't recall if we ever communicated about the Davis/Moore marriage in Rankin Co. I feel so sure that I would remember because that is a family I have been doing research on for some time and know it is the same as my g grandfather, i.e., George Washington Davis. G.W. married Mary Ann Garrett after Nancy Moore died and I descend from one of their issue. Since I don't recall perhaps you can. If we did not make contact I would like to share data with you.
