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.
Alice Mitchell Copeland Durr
Copiah County, MS
1870 - 1914
Daughter of Alex Mitchell and Mary Copeland
Wife of William Durr
Mother of Mike, Emanuel, James, and Eudell
Alice is my great grandmother

I'm intrigued by the photo. Alice looks like a very interesting woman. I'm hoping that you'll tell us more about her in a future post.

I know so little about her. She is someone I need to research.
Even though you may not know much about her, what a treasure to have a picture!
She has a very firm look. Was she your mother's grandmother? They both have that firm look.
The picture was in one of those old ornate frames. My first memory of the picture is seeing it on the wall of my grandmother's home.
No, Alice was my father's paternal grandmother. Mama seldom smiled in pictures.
