Enjoy the blog. Am a Wilson kin – Great grandson of Joel Fowler Wilson – g-son of his son, John F. Wilson of Attala Co. Fascinated to learn of those buried in old section of Kosciusko City Cemetery – will look them up next time there. Since all of my family roots are in Attala Co (both sides) and my wife is a “Kosy gal” we feel very connected there. Billy Wilson Thompson

Thanks! I love to stroll through the Kosciusko City Cemetery. So many stories. Many of the graves were damaged the last time I was there. Sad. Are you related to the Thompsons from Chickasaw county, Mississippi?
