Perhaps we can build on some of that grand history around the Gin. I also know that Marilyn Bowman who has the Ms Marilyn's Little Olives Child Care in Chumuckla -- grew up in Bagdad but had many relatives in Chumuckla. It is a rich history.BUZZ CREEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12966442.post-26513832000491078352024-01-18T19:58:31.264-05:002024-01-18T19:58:31.264-05:00HELLO MY NAME IS FRANCIS HOLLEY IM DESENDED OF MI...HELLO MY NAME IS FRANCIS HOLLEY IM DESENDED OF MITT JOHNSON MY AUNT AND FRANK HOLLEY MY GRAND DADDY MY DADDY WAS HENRY HOLLEY AND HIS SISTER WAS ANNIE PEARL.

And am browsing buzzcreek website now....Neat stuff! <br /><br />Chris and I had a wonderful time visiting with you and Karen these past few days. It was also wonderful to see the kids and their new home. Looks like they're off to a nice start. <br /><br />On another note let's be sure to do this meet up thing a little more often. 12 years is too long to be out of touch. Oh, and one last favor to ask. Would you kindly send me your brother's email address so I can write to him. And if you have Jim's and Woody's email addresses send them also. <br /><br />Much love to you and Karen and the kids. Until the next time!<br /><br />Kindly,<br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180503532153760090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12966442.post-63937784071273519232020-10-06T10:27:19.606-05:002020-10-06T10:27:19.606-05:00At a loss for words!

Lavern Howell gave us that bit of information. It is a bit of preserved history. That is said to be the former home of Alonzo and Mit Johnson. Before they occupied it – the house was used as a canning facility for cane syrup – a side business of the Pace Company. People recall going by those houses back in the 40's and 50's when they were alive with working and prospering families where the smell of pork roasting or the sight of laundry in the breeze were mesmerizing" The house we photographed was NOT the Alonzo Johnson house which was moved to a location near the black church on Gurnsey Road about a mile NORTH. This part of the column is corrected now in the column itself. Information supplied by PAUL COOK who runs the hair salon at the old mill worker house explained THAT house was built when the Pace Mill was in operation and his family acquired it - perhaps in the '30s. Paul Cook is the person who moved the old Alonzo Johnson house to Pace though. The house moved from Chumuckla is as noted, near the old black church. But at this point it is far from its former glory in appearance. I hope to get a photo of parts of it anyway.BUZZ CREEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12966442.post-63215531086894119252014-09-17T08:31:04.380-05:002014-09-17T08:31:04.380-05:00Brenda Joyce BozemanVic Campbell

We came up with Frank Holly and Daisy Holly lived behind the gin across from the church and the old cemetery. Frank and Nessie lived on the corner of the springs road and the cemetery road. Miss Annie McNeal live next to them I think. Pardoner Moore was the yard keeper for Mr Joe Jernigan who live next to Will Thomas store Mr Jernigan was the overseer of the cotton gin and Daddy was the clerk. We moved to the house next to the Jernigan house in 1950 and Sam was borned there I was 12 yrs old . There was Jennie Knight and Bembo we only called him Bembo and I don't remember ever hear a last name. There was a family that live down the spring road that had some girls that help Daddy and Mom pick cotton before we move down there. One of the girls name was Ruth and the others we couldn't come up with. do you know the couple that live in the big house behind the store?BUZZ CREEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12966442.post-21246509761416774552014-09-17T08:24:07.168-05:002014-09-17T08:24:07.168-05:00Doug Davis corrected me on the demise of the Gin i...Doug Davis corrected me on the demise of the Gin itself. IT DID NOT BURN DOWN but was destroyed by tornado in 1972. He said Marty Griswold was there when it happened. I'll try to correct that in the text of the article. I missed that event because I was in Vietnam at the time. But I do vaguely recall that. I remember my dad used to love to go chase the tornadoes as they were spotted nearby. I think he got to the gin soon after it was hit.BUZZ CREEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866088379634990967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12966442.post-67771723026219323482014-09-15T21:35:43.653-05:002014-09-15T21:35:43.653-05:00

Ms Nizze babysit me we loved her .She would fix our lunch and we sat at the table she always stood at the kitchen counter we would ask her to sat down she never would.
