A Little Family History

On our way out of town Friday, we stopped by the Sidon Cemetery to see if we could find our great-grandparents headstones.  My mom's dad grew up in Sidon, MS which is a very small delta town.  I was 13 when my great-grandmother, Money (Viola Brown Sanders), passed away, so I had a vague recollection of her being buried under a big tree. 

It was neat seeing all these names that are part of my history.  I took a picture of the Brown family headstone.  Solon's namesake, Solon Irving Brown, is buried here as well I am sure, but I was so beat by the heat that I forgot to look for him. 

My mom loved her family from Sidon, so us girls decided to add one more place on the list to sprinkle Momma's ashes.  We will make a special trip here in the next few months for her.
