    3. >. She was married to John Williams Hutcheson/Hutchinson and >he married Charlotte Virginia Scudder a year later. I would love >to find something to help me with her death and marriage, but I >am having a great deal of difficulty. sorry I couldn't help with her but the cemetery book has Charlotte Virginia Hutcheson b 25-Apr-1838 d. 2 May 1929 John Williams Hutchenson b. 8-Mar-1835 d. 17 Apr 1927 This cemetery book is produced by the Woodville Civic Club and sold by the Musuem and also, several of the stores in Woodville. When I was over last year I made several trips to Woodville during the times they had posted as being open. It was always closed and I ended by buying the books I wanted from the drug store across the street. The cemetery book is 'The Journal of Wilkinson County History" Vol. 1. It was edited by Mrs. James V. 'Honey' Gross and "Miss Marion Miles. Voluteers went out to copy the headstones but Mrs. Gross said that she personally did a lot of them. There are mistakes in the book. I think it is impossible to work with so many numbers and not make a few mistakes. I know I have a few typos and reversed dates in my books, regardless of how hard I try to get it all corrected. >Do you know if the historical society or another organization in >MS that might have record of this death or marriage? Sorry, no. I have found a few death records recorded at the court house and am currently copying them from microfilm. They and few and I think mostly of black families. I checked with the funeral home in Gloster, and found they had bought the business in the 1950s and had no records past that point in time. I was told the records where 'misplaced'. I had hoped to check with the Woodville funeral home but haven't gotten around to it as yet. I do not live in MS. I live in Texas and am not getting to MS as often as I had in the past. I do have the cemetery book, marriage book, civil war book and settlers of Wilkinson county, all put out by the Woodville Civic Club. I have the first 5 of Mrs. Wiese's books on CD. Much cheaper than buying them as books, and easier to search. Be aware, not everything in the newspapers where included in these books. You can rent Microfilm of some of the older newspapers through the LDS Family History Centers. Virginia
