  • An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King
    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King Compiled by Frances B. Krechel AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO: Mrs. L. H. Holyfield (Beulah Boggan) (Electronic version prepared by NP Computers for Mendenhall Public Library, Lu Ann Bailey Librarian) Due to her life-long (b. 1893) interest, and being a native Mississippian, Miss Beulah has gathered together many historical articles and books, and it is basically from this remarkable and vast collection that the enclosed material has been taken, her love of Mississippi history proved to be contagious. So it is with deep appreciation and a sincere “Thank You” for the special help and encouragement, that another chapter has been added to the extensive recording of the state’s heritage. Miss Beulah has also meticulously and lovingly chronicled the names and dates of her Boggan and related families and it is through this mutual family connection that the compiler became interested in the events concerning the early days. All of the stories have been selected from a series of articles written by the late Bee King, who was a well- known lawyer, historian and writer. The Simpson County News began running the series in their weekly newspaper in 1937 and continued until 1948. Mr. King’s writings are a graphic presentation of the life and times of early Simpson County. He interviewed the elderly citizens through out the area and uniquely recorded for posterity the experiences of the people in day to day living. The picture shows Mr. King in his office when he was Mayor of Mendenhall, the county seat of Simpson County.

  • Booth Natchez Tour
    How We Made the 400 Mile Natchez Trace Tour Last 5,967 Miles From the Little Canyon to the Grand Canyon Sharon and Orville Booth Palmetto A's of South Carolina On Thursday, April 6, we left home in Columbia, SC headed towards Franklin, TN, to join the Model A Ford Club of America for the 2011 MAFCA Natchez Trace National Tour. Our odometer had 1372 miles on it. By nightfall, we'd made it to Chattanooga, TN and realized we were a day ahead of schedule. We decided to take a side trip to the Little Canyon National Preserve, near Fort Payne, AL. The clouds were threatening rain, but it only sprinkled for a few miles as we drove through to Chattanooga. This was a delightful drive with the dogwoods and redbuds in full bloom. We skirted around Huntsville, AL on Hwy 79 into the town of Winchester, TN. There, we spent the night before connecting to Alt 41 that took us directly into Franklin. Arriving at the Marriott in Franklin before noon, we spent our time registering, checking out the Swap Meet and auction items, meeting other clubbers and admiring their A's. Soon it was time to take the bus to the Grand Ole Opry. We enjoyed a great evening of entertainment starring Little Jimmy Dickens. Sunday, we attended the nearby Trinity Baptist Church, then returned to the Marriott to visit and admire the cars before the banquet that evening. We started out early Monday in order to stop at the famous Loveless Café for a scrumptious breakfast.
