I am looking for information about two people who lived in Alcorn County (Corinth) around 1920. These two people were Beulah Lowenburg and Edmund Heilbronner. Both of these were, apparently, Jewish. Would be interested in any information that you might be able to supply. Mr. Heilbronner was a shoe salesman, and sometimes opened new stores in various towns. This could be why he was in the area.

I am interested in finding out where Jesse James and Narcissa Graham Brand lived in the North East corner of MS. They likely lived near Corinth, Fulton or Booneville. Narcissa died about Aug., 1905 and was burried in that area. I have not been able to laocate the cemetery. One of her children told me that a car axel was driven in the ground at her headstone. If you have any knowledge of a grave with an axel driven in the ground or of the area that they lived; I would be greatly appreciative for the info. Narcissa's parents were Wesley Graham and Dorothuley Evans. Their where abouts in MS is not known but assumed to be in that area. Respond to OBBRANDMD@AOL.COM |
