Dear Mr. Windham:

Thank you for the information. I had talked with Katie
McNeill on a couple of occasions by phone. She met a lady
from Maryland who had a lot of McCarty research information
and passed it along to me.

Katie and my uncle, Edward McCarty, were good friends over
the years.

My brother sent to me in TX a copy of the Jasper Co., MS,
Cemetery Book which had a picture of Katie on an inside leaf. I knew that she had deceased, and hated that I did not make it a point to see her on one of my trips to Laurel, which were not frequent in those days.

Hope the Hurricane did not do you severe harm! My dau. and
I were visiting 3 sisters and a bro. in Laurel when the
hurricane came through. Blew over a lot of shrubs and trees, and got some shingles from roofs, but no serious
damage to them. My brother, who lives in another section
of Laurel (sisters live in Calhoun) got 1 or 2 large trees
through his roof, but did not hurt them as they were in
another part of the house.

Ezra McLaurin Alexander (Mac).

PS: My grandmother, Annie Kathryn "Kate" McLaurin married my grandfather, Hamilton Davis McCarty. Davis McCarty was first a boarder in their home near Erata, MS, and eventually, he and Annie Kate married. Two sets of twins, one of them was Keppel McCarty, who was my mother. Both
Hamilton Davis and Annie Kate died young.
