This is the first time that I have looked in on this forum for many months. This caught my attention.

Yes, I am from Jonesville but I left there when I was quite young, leaving many friends and family members there. Many have passed away but there are still some cousins and long time friends that still live there.

My father and his immediate family were some of the founding members of the First Pentecostal Church in the 1930s. I still remember some of the wonderful people that attended that church back in the 1940s. There were the Kings, the Tarvers, the DeLeost and Wiley families among many others. I have family members still in that church.

My Dad with his older brother was a moonshiner but soon got the Holy Ghost under the ministry of brother Hemphill who was in the community conducting cottage prayer meetings. My Dad was the first to receive the Holy Ghost but shortly afterwards almost all of his large family received the Holy Ghost except his Dad who was killed in a hail of gun fire down-town Jonesville only a year earlier.

I started school with Murrell Ewing in the first grade across the street at Block Elem school where my Dad also started school in the 19 teens. I will never forget one of my teachers there by the Majorie Smith. She hated "the Holy Rollers" and very often made fun of us...especially me.

Before I moved with my immediate family, we lived on Little River very near the Tarpley family. The Tarpleys were such good friends that as a young child I thught that Howard Tarpley was my cousin and that his mama was my aunt. We farmed cotten which we picked by hand. Those were the (not so) good ol' days but the glory of God was so much nearer the earth in those days. The glory of the Lord has greatly lifted up from the earth heavenward since then.

After Brother Clarence Wiley died from being thrown from a horse and after my mother died, my Dad married his widow whom we called "Little Mama." Bother my Dad and mother have long since departed this continent for a distant shore where all is peace and joy...in a land where rules a Righteous Governor, the King of Kings.

Incidently, John Allen Coleman is my age. They lived next door to my grandmother in 1948.

About 20 miles west of Neches Miss. In the swamps. LOL

Do you mean Natchez? Little Natchez under the hill is where my Dad and his older brother sold their whiskey in the late 20s to the riverboat rats that docked there and patronized the open whorehouses and barrell houses. Natchez under the hill was a lawless place in those days.

My father married C.B. Wiley's mother after my mother passed away. I have known the wiley family all my life. My father helped to build the church in Jonesville. I attended there when Clarence Wiley was the Pastor in the late 40s and early 50s.

I still remember many of the saints in those days, some of whom:

The King family
The Hardy family
The DeLost (sp?) family
The Tarver family
The Miller family
The Strange family
The Miller family
Emma Edwards
The Wiley family
The Coleman family
The Lofton family
These among many others as well.

Hello Johnny, my wife is from Louisiana, and her family is still there.

Her father is DE Maricelli, who pastored at Mt. Zion for several years. Her uncle is CD Thornton, who was in Lake Charles for years.

Welcome to AFF!

[Michael Phelps]

Yes, JS pastored First Church in Bogalusa for a number of years. My brother in law is the presbyter of that section, and he pastors in Covington, which is just a few miles away.

I don't know JS. My pastor was born & raised in Bogalusa but doesn't not live there now.

[Cindy]

I remember going to church with my grandmother in Bogalusa, but I don't remember the pastor's name. Back in the day when I was a kid, not recently. Haven't been there since the 60's.

Thought she went to Berrys Creek UPC Bro Mizel (not sure of the spelling).

Oh cool, I now know someone you know. They are very fine people. How is he doing now?

I am so hoping God will give him a complete healing. His wife is a beautiful woman. :)
