Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Women and Hats
The women in my family loved their hats. A hat was needed for a funeral, wedding, church service, or a trip to see relatives even if the trip was just one county over.
Revella Ephraim McDaniel born about 1878 in Union Church, Mississippi.
Revella's daughter Jimmie Lee McDaniel Sanders
Unknown Woman
Estella Lee Williams Coleman born 1905 in Lincoln County, MS.
Photographs of Revella and her daughter Jimmie Lee are from the private collection of Anthony Neal.
