Subject: [MSITAWAM-L] Camp family in Mantachie
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 21:29:58 -0600


I found this obit. in my grandma's things. I think one of her families are
related somehow to this man or his parents. She also had a photo of him when
he was a toddler, so there has to be some family connection, I would think.

If anyone knows the date of his death, and anything about his parents, I
would like to know more about him. Thanks.
