Gene, the Paris newspaper has all the old papers on microfilm and will let you look them up there....if you ever get to Paris. The Nash Archives have them also. The name of the paper today is the Paris Post-Intelligencer. Will the Nash archives let us do an inter-library loan on them?

Ira, I think the date of that wreck was Apr or June of 1926.....a wee bit before my time too! Did you know David Cooper of Paris? I know that he had some records of it. Anyway, if you hear anything please let me know.

There was a car-train wreck in Obion Co. that killed five from my family in 1925. All were from Perry Co., TN. This is a bit far from Henry Co., with Weakley Co. in between. -- Gail Shepard Tomlinson Senatobia, MS

Bobbie: Of course that Bad train wreck near Paris was before my time, (Almost) I do not recall what the date was but the only one near Paris I ever heard about. Was when the Train Dispatcher, over looked at Faxon Back-up they had out running extra back to Paris when he ran an Erin Turn out also Extra and failed to instruct him to stay at Paris until the Faxon Back up returned. (As I recall the story this dispatcher was either the son of the Trainmaster or the Chief Dispatcher) and just as the Erin Turn was leaving out the North end of the yard he realized he had not told him of the Faxon Back-up. He knew about where they would meet on the main line, and went ahead and called the wrecker, notified the Hospital and doctors, as well as calling some of the officials of the railroad, and had everyone started toward the spot he figured they would hit. Which was at a Station called Longchamps, which was the livestock loading pens near the Paris Fairgrounds, and they did hit head on at this place? I recall when I was working this same job years later, some of the old heads would show me where form the second floor this dispatcher later that night jumped out. I recall they said his father came in and started shouting at him asking why he would do such a stupid trick, he ask his father to stay back and quit shouting at him he had just overlooked the train. When his father persisted he opened the window and jumped down to the passenger platform down below and no one saw or heard of him for a year or two after that, but found out he was working for the Missouri Pacific Railroad somewhere in Texas. I have looked through my books here but found nothing about the particulars of this wreck. Now I am not saying that was the one you are asking about, but it is the only one I heard about near Paris. There was another one near Routon a few years later, but this would have been on the South end. I know if a lot of those old friends at Paris and Big Sandy were still around they could tulle us the whole story. Bobby Blend's father may have told him something about it. Ira PS I will keep looking.

Folks, Somebody from a "BellSouth" ISP address is trying to spam the TNHENRY-L list with pornographic messages. Because these lists are "closed" lists and the Rootsweb spam filters are currently holding, nothing is getting to the lists. However, if the spammers break thru to the list, I will have to unsubscribe everyone on the lists from BellSouth, until the attack is over. You'll KNOW if it happens. Dave

I have been told that there was a huge trainwreck at Paris, June 1925. Would anyone have knowledge or newspaper clippings of this wreck? My grandfather, T. H. Hogan was supposed to have contributed in getting it cleaned up and the bodies back to Paris. Thanks, Bobbie

Well, it looks like the followup re:NARA came before the initial message (why? I have no idea) so I'm hoping by the time this gets out the original message will be seen by all. if not I will re-send.

If anyone has access to the 1830 census , I would appreciate a lookup for Henry BROWN , William BROWN, and John BROWN on page 3. TIA Marietta

Hi all, I'm new to the list and am researching the HOUSDEN surname. The family migrated from Williamson County, Tennessee about 1841. Sometime before/during the Civil War, the family split, with my line migrating to Texas County, Missouri and fighting for the Union, while some stayed and fought with the 46th Regiment Co. A. I have LOTS of information on the HOUSDEN's, but this time frame seems to be alittle weak. Will be willing to share any information or even anyone associated with the Housden's. Thanks, Deanna Housden-Campen

Why do we put anything but genealogy in the TNHENRY-D Digest? It is very discouraging to have one's e-mail boot up to a lot of information that is entirely off the subject. I even receive recipes in Surname Groups. Nice, but really way off base. The same thing is happening in the MS GenWeb chat room. Baffling. -- Gail Shepard Tomlinson Senatobia, MS

Hi Folks, May I ask if someone could do a lookup for me in the Henry County Chancery Court, Circuit Court or County Clerk Minute records around 1850 for a "guardianship" or "bonding out of" a Nancy OLIVE, age 1, who in the 1850 Henry County Census is recorded with the family of John Henry WILLIAMS, Jr. and Elizabeth (LEE) WILLIAMS in the 15th District. Mary OLIVE, age 17, is recorded as living just down the road with the family of William M. WILLIAMS. Nancy OLIVE md. James Monroe WIMBERLEY, and is my wifes 2g-grandmother. It was always presumed that Nancy was a WILLIAMS, however the historical data indicates that she was an OLIVE, and just adopted into the Williams family. Nancy & James Monroe named their 1st daughter Mary Olive Shelly Wimberley. The data suggests that Mary OLIVE was either Nancy's sister or mother. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

To everyone, I apologize for the cookie thing. I got it from someone at one of my lists and really didn't think about the repercussions. Some people thanked me, some LOL, but many of you YELLED at me. So I learned a lesson about "netiquette". It won't happen again...back to research. Guiltily, bjc
