CROOK, HALL, JONES, RICHTER, STUCKEY, WILLIAMS posted by Bob Crook on Saturday, April 12, 1997

CROOK & WILLIAMS...My great-grandfather was Lewis Edmund CROOK, the first cpa in the State of Mississippi, who lived in Meridian from approximately 1887 until his death in 1931. He was also president of the Meridian Rotary Club and participated in the stage productions and musicals in the early 1910's. One of his sons (my grandfather) was Robert Hall CROOK, also a cpa, whose office was in the Threefoot Building. He was married to Agnes STUCKEY in 1920. I am seeking information on another great-great-grandfather of mine, Samuel S. WILLIAMS, who was born in GA in 1836 and died in Meridian in 1921. He was married to Frances RICHTER in 1866 and came to Meridian shortly after. They had three girls...Anne Eliza (1868- ) who married Robert A. HALL; Mary Elingus ("Ellie") who married L. E. CROOK; and, Frances RICHTER ("Fannie") who married William Newton JONES. SS Williams was engaged in manufacturing with a Mr. Golden. Samuel Williams was with the 46th Mississippi Infantry Regiment during our War for Southern Independence. Is there anyone who knows more about his service as a RR engineer for the M&O Railroad during the War?
