*********************************
I need help in locating descendants of brothers, Allen O. William, James A. Williams and William Daniel Williams all of whom were in Shelby County in late 1890s and early 1900s. They had a sister Nellie Jane Williams who married Eugene Francis. Their mother, Sarah Elizabeth Jane Williams, was shown in the household of her son Daniel on 1910 census. The Williams family came from Vernon Parish in LA, but I do not know when. I have no data for the father, Clark Williams, so I do not know if he ever lived in Shelby County. I am a descendant of Allen O. Williams, who died young in 1936, so would like to contact some descendants of his brothers or sister to see they have any information on him in particular. Contact: dbton@yahoo.com 1
*******************
I would like to hear from students and teachers of Eagle Mill School. I
went to Eagle Mill from 1945 until the
school closed in May of 1948. I would like to know more about the history of the school.
