Jacksonville News – Former News ad director dies

04-15-2009

Jim Haynes led the singing at Oxford church of Christ.

Services for former Jacksonville News advertising director James “Jim” Haynes, 75, of Oxford were at 2 p.m. Monday, April 13, at the Oxford church of Christ. Bob Prichard, Ed Smith and Charles Box officiated. Congregational singing was led by Ronnie Hubbard. Burial was in Oxford Memorial Gardens.

Mr. Haynes died April 11 at Stringfellow Memorial Hospital.

He retired from The McClellan News and The Jacksonville News where he served as advertising director for 20 years. While at the News, as a member of the Jacksonville Merchants Association, fellow JMA members voted to follow his suggestion and name the association’s fall festival Mountain Echoes.

“The business community has lost a true advocate in Jim Haynes,” said friend and fellow JMA member Jerry Klug.

From Left to right

Etta “Callie” Hardy, George Albert Meherg and Elle Belle Monarie MeHerg. They wore Indian jewelry, so I suppose they participated in the Creek culture of Coosa Co and felt themselves to be part Indian. Please click on the pictures for a larger view.

Area where Etta Caladonia´s grandfather meHerg lived near Weogufka creek and Hatchett Creek is called Horse Stomp and I think it was near Lewis, AL in Coosa Co.

She is at her maternal granfather´s place in Horse Stomp Community near Weogodka Creek.

Native American connections

I think so. Why would anyone ‘pretend’ to be Indian, when claiming such things could have deprived of your property/home, and have you run out of town; or in some cases killed, for not bein g’ white’?
