How does Mary connect to my family?
Mary was the daughter of James Markham and Anna Culver.
James and my grandmother, Alice Markham Marshall, were siblings.
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.

My father-in-law was a Mason and his oldest daughter was a member of the Order of Easter Star in St. Louis. I never knew he was a Mason until his funeral when several of his brother Masons came and did a ceremony.
A handful of cousins were members and I didn't know until their funerals. My folks talked about secret handshakes, hand
and feet signals which I never understood.
The little ceremony they preformed was sort of odd, as I remember.
