"A people without a history is like wind on the buffalo grass"
Crazy Horse - Ogala Sioux
"If you can't get rid of the skeletons in your closet,
You'd better teach them to dance."
George Bernard Shaw (1856—1950)
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage--to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.
Alex Haley
Of all the tombstone inscriptions in the cemeteries of Attala County,
my personal favorite is the one that appears below:
William KNOX, Co D 35 Miss Inf C.S.A.
"William Knox, a true friend, a father dear, a kind old grandfather lies sleeping here."
The tombstone for William Knox is located in the Edgefield Cemetery,
in the eastern portion of the county, south of McCool.
