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.

Wordless Wednesday Abandoned Country Store
Old Barlow Store
Barlow, Copiah County, Mississippi
What a poignant sight--I'm always sad when I see abandoned buildings, though I've discovered that I'm also saddened when abandoned buildings are torn down because then the memory of the place is quickly lost.
I miss the buildings from my childhood that have been torn down, especially when it is replaced with a new building. The memories of the old is quickly lost.
Oh how sad it looks! At it must have sold "76" gas, too. I bet they sold RC's and ice cream sandwiches there (my favorite old store snacks!).
