My grandmother was Effie Gilbreath. If this is any connection to you, please let me know. I am interested in the family’s history.

Mary, I was told by my grandparents that Jasper was crushed between two cars while working on the railroad. My grandfather was James Edgar Mcwhirter, who was raised by the Harbins. I think he was buried in Sharon cemetery ,between winnsboro and Quitman.

Comment on Query (2nd Request): Stout by Mary Ann Thomas

I do not remember where it is but there is a grave marker for your Stout. I saw this many years ago. The best I remember it was by a roadside and was quite impressive. I know this is not much help but maybe someone in the Wood Co area will read this and remember where it is.

You just might be from Quitman if you can remember the Grogan Hotel, where Joe Mosley’s Tractor Co. was located, and when Stephens Street was the main north entrance into town from the Lake Quitman area.

Hi Daniel,
You are right on in both your comments. Thanks for sharing the answer with Beverly while I was out working in the yard today. I just got in and posted much the same response to her before looking at your two comments.
