School Fund Accounts Book Old Tishomingo County 1856–1859 Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society P.O. Box 273, Iuka, Mississippi 38852 Copyright 2005 Preface We gratefully acknowledge the efforts of Cindy Nelson and RaNae Vaughn in the transcription of this School Fund Accounts Book for Old Tishomingo County, Mississippi. The original book is dated 1856-1858 on the spine; however, school fund accounts for 1859 are also included in the original document. Every effort has been made to transcribe each and every entry in this publication the same way as it was created originally. Our ancestors, in the timeframe of this documentation, would in some cases have had a different spelling, the person who documented the information may not have known the correct spelling, and no matter how hard we try to avoid it, there are always differences in interpretation. Poor handwriting is sometimes a factor in an erroneous transcription, and typographical errors are easily made. It is our hope that you will consider this documentation a valuable tool in your research. While every effort was made to present the material in its original content, the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society (TCHGS) accepts no responsibility for misspelled names, misplaced dates, subjects which were left out, or other human errors. The names of the children taught as beneficiaries are listed in the original book. Also included are the number of days each pupil attended school, the rate of pay per day, and the total amount paid for each pupil. These rates varied from five cents to thirteen cents per day. It is interesting to note that not all pupils in the same school were allowed the same rate. Additional copies may be purchased at the Tishomingo County Archives & History Museum at 203 East Quitman Street, P.O. Box 273, Iuka, Mississippi 38852.

    John Marshall Stone Papers, 1899-1900 PP-002 1 Mississippi State University Libraries Presidential Papers Accession # PP-002 Date 2016 Collection John Marshall Stone Papers Donor Size .3 linear feet Restrictions None Location: Presidential Papers, Drawer 1A John Marshall Stone, 1899-1900 Bio/History Note John Marshall Stone was born on April 30, 1830 in Milan, Tennessee. He did not attend college, but did educate himself enough to become a school teacher in Tennessee. In 1855, Stone moved to Eastport, Mississippi, where he served as the station agent for the Mississippi and Ohio Railroad at Iuka. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, he joined the Army of the Confederate States of America in April and fought in several major battles, including “Sharpsburg” (Antietam) in Maryland, “The Battle of Wilderness” in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and “Gettysburg” in Pennsylvania. In 1865, he was dispatched to Mississippi to round up absentees and deserters, and was eventually captured during a fight in Salisbury, North Carolina while trying to return to his command. He was sent to Johnson’s Island, Ohio and then released on July 25, 1865. After the war, he returned to his position as station agent for the M. & O. Railroad, and was later elected mayor and treasurer of Tishomingo County, eventually serving in the Mississippi State Senate. Stone is the longest serving governor in Mississippi history with two terms – 1876 to 1882, and again from 1890 to 1892. When Governor Ames resigned in John Marshall Stone Papers, 1899-1900 PP-002 2 1876, Stone was made President Pro Tempore, or acting governor, of the Mississippi Senate.
