If anyone can do a lookup in the 1910 census or census index, I am looking for the family of William D. and Sarah C. SPARKS. In 1900, they were in the 17th district with children Thos. F.; Rhoda J.; Chas. M.; Margie A.; Percilla A.; John D.; and an infant son. William was born in 1865 and died in May 1911, but I am trying to find out if the family was in Hardeman Co. in 1910. Sarah is the daughter of Thomas and Nancy (ROGERS) FERRELL. Thank you, Jenwyl Pitt

Hello, This is all the information I have and I am not related to this person. ~Helen Currie Davis Yesterday while at the library I was looking through, The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Monday Morning, July 26, 1926 newspaper. I made a photocopy of a story. On the same page is a photo of Miss Sara Anderson. Above the photo you read, Attractive Visitor in Town. The caption reads, Miss Sara Anderson whose home is at Jonestown, Miss., is the attractive guest of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hitchings at 142 Granville Place. She has recently returned from a house party at Bolivar, Tenn., given by Miss Ruth Tate. While in Memphis Miss Anderson has been the recipient of much attention and a number of informal parties have been given in her honor. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
