1914 Mechanicsburg School

This is a picture of the 1914 Mechanicsburg, MS School class. It has a picture of Clarence S. Williams (son of George Washington Williams and Druea Naomi (Scarborough) Williams, who is the daughter of Tabitha Jane (Hancock) Scarborough and Edward Howie Scarborough).

Just about everyone in this picture grew up and intermarried and wound up kin to each other by marriage and their kids. There are still a lot of kids from these unions that still live around Yazoo County, MS.
