Mamie Marsh remembered as beloved Jackson figure
An 1875 epidemic survivor Mamie Marsh, aged 50, was one of three children found in the streets and raised by a devout Indy who sheltered them to end of the outbreak. The Marsh children, unnamed, were later sent to Natchez Orphan Asylum by semanas, with Mamie later becoming a Natchez High School graduate and skilled stenographer. The report notes high regard for her, plus a Whist Club event honoring guests Mrs. A. C. McNair and Mrs. Thomas H. Perkins. Hanis and Lola Juliet among prize winners. The piece ends by noting a 1905 calendar quirk and a Fonda Times quote about Sundays.
