I wish I could attend. I would be curious to see if there is any mention of my gg grandfather JAMES C. TERRY (1824-1903). Apparently he was founder of Iuka and Burnsville, Mississippi, and a financier connected with the Mitchell & Mask enterprises. Has anyone run into his name in their research of Iuka history?
