B.F. Hyneman
October 21, 1931
(Taken from the Daily Corinthian)
Submitted by George Hyneman
This morning at 3:00 the long and useful life of B.F. Hyneman, familiarly known throughout this entire section as "Uncle Frank" came to an end. He reached the terminus of the road that has been fraught with historic milestones from October 12, 1837 till the present date. With only a half dozen years short of a century he passed into eternity, his life having been filled with action until his physical strength forbade, and then his mind and interest kept up the contact with the progress of his community and the outside world in a remarkable way. It had been ten or twelve years since he had engaged in any activities, and two years ago on the 24th of this month he suffered a stroke of paralysis that threatened his life for several days. Recovering from this in a way he continued his interest in matters generally but he was never strong thereafter. He had been a member of the Christian church for more than two generations, had seen this country develop from almost a wilderness to its present state of progress. He was the son of David and Rebecca Hyneman whose birth places were Ireland and Scotland respectively. He was born in this county when it was Tishomingo county and will be buried within a mile of where he first saw light. During his early days Farmington was the leading village of this section and there was no Corinth at that time. Jacinto was the county seat for the county. He was a confederate veteran and fought with Price and Van Dorn and through the whole four years of conflict, in the heart of many engagements, and never received as much as a scratch that was in the nature of a wound from the enemy. Following the war he again returned to his native health and turned his attention, like many others, to a rehabilitation of the South he loved and for which he had fought so valiantly. In many ways he was a most remarkable man, and his memory was such that in recounting his experiences and observations of the earlier days of this territory he was intensely interesting. He is survived by his widow Mrs. Julia Hyneman, three daughters; Mrs. May Brice, Mrs. Lillie Dickerson, and Miss Pearl Hyneman, and two sons; J.H. Hyneman and Hal Hyneman. They are all near Corinth with the exception of Hal Hyneman, whose home is at Crawfordsville, Arkansas. The burial will be at Farmington cemetery Thursday afternoon at 2:00.

Elijah Knight was born and reared in McNairy Co., TN, and in 1861, when the call for volunteers was made, he was one of the first to offer his body and life as a target for the enemy.

Major Sharp told the writer recently that Elijah was the first to open fire on the enemy in the Corinth engagement, and on the 29th of May, 1906, death came and called for its victim, the old soldier.

He was a good companion, a loving father and loyal to his country.
