Mechanicsburg Class of 1914 -- This is a picture of the 1914 Mechanicsburg,Ms School class.  It has a picture of Clarence S. Williams (son of George Washington Williams and Druea Naomi (Scarborough) Williams, who is the daughter of Tabitha Jane (Hancock) Scarborough and Edward Howie Scarborough) .  This is the same Mrs. Tabitha Jane Scarborough whose obituary is posted on the           Brief Biographies of Yazoo County Families.   Just about everyone in this Picture grew up and intermarriedand wound up kin to each other by marriage and their kids.  There are still a lot of kids from these unions that still live around Yazoo County,Ms.
          This photo was contributed by Harvey Williams who found it on Marie Scogin's homepage.  Marie has given us permission to use it but wants credit given to her cousin, Gerald Jones, who originally gave it to her  at a family reunion in 1998.
                  
Cheatham School class of 1917 - 1918 --  The First attached photo is of Cheatham School.  Date is 1917-1918 and Cheatham was the proverbial one room school house and was located at the junction of Fletcher's Chapel road and Neely road.

The small pitiful looking child in the very front,wearing white coat, is my maternal grand uncle Joseph Powell Manor, second student directly behind him is my maternal Grandmother Mary Louise Manor (Mobley).

Back row, from the right, second student is Horace Johnson; fourth student is Robert Isaac Martin.

Front row, student to the right of my uncle Powell is Francis Edward Martin.  Front row, from the left, third student wearing huge striped scarf is Cornelia Johnson (Hilton). 

Front row, from left, directly behind student number 5 is Lilly LaPearl Kirk (Thomas).

Front row, from left, fourth student is believed to be Decken Neely, Blond student behind is believed to be Thelma Neely.

Last row of girls, in striped, large collared dress is Maggie Lee Brumfield (Manor)

Cheatham School class unknown -- This  photo is also of Cheatham School.  Don't have clue as to date but appears later that first photo. Only certain of one student and he is on back row, first student, is Robert Isaac Martin.  Believe that two of the Neely girls and Lilly Kirk in first photo are also in this photo.

If anyone knows any of these people please let them contact me!! Edwin Russell
