Simpson--Does anyone know where I can find out the name of a Poplarville newspaper around 1919 and 1935. I am researching the B.F.

I would appreciate any help in obtaining this information. Alton Simpson. ass64@bellsouth.net 07-04
Crawford, Guthrie, Snyder, Frizzell--Benton Thomas Crawford resided in Picayune/Pearl River County Mississippi during the late 1800's to early 1900's. Married one Loretta Guthrie(?) of New Orleans around 1900 or 1905. His occupation at the time was a wood cutter and salesman of firewood, later going into the brick business with association with Bernard "Bennie" Snyder or Schnieder Brick Comapny in Pearl River, Louisiana. Later moving to Laurel, Mississippi, and then to Schwartz, Louisiana to be a partner with Bruce Frizzell in Frizzell Brick Company. I would appreciate any response you would have. He was my grandfather. He used to make a yearly trip to go duck hunting in Honey Island Swamp with some life long friends. One such trip left him with Pneumonia which ultimately caused his heart to give out in September 1951. Best Regards, Benton Thomas Crawford, Texas. deltadrafting@msn.com 06-04
