Winona Times Article With
Listing of Employees in the Above Photo (490kb.jpg file) Bob and Erma Collins were a farming family
that lived in Montgomery County all their lives. After receiving the Good Conduct Medal, the
American Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal, my father (Alf
Trotter) was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1946, where he served in
the Military Police and was classified as Marksman, M-1 Rifle. He was employed by the J.A. Olsen Company
in Winona for many years and was one of three involved in an automobile accident en-route to work
on January 23, 1964. He died the next
day. He was a devoted father and loved
his family. Bob and Erma Collins are buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in
Winona. Bob’s father (my
Great-Grandfather) was named James Polk Collins. His (James Polk Collins’) wife, Mariah Jane
Collins (12/29/1850 – 11/30/1887), was also James Polk Collins’ 1st
cousin (Mariah’s father was Major Crume Collins,
the brother of James Simpson Collins, father of James Polk Collins (Mariah’s
husband)). Bob also had three sisters, Lallie Otee (“Sis”) (11/30/1874
– 10/29/1937) (I believe this is correct) and Rosa Paralee
(07/25/1881 – 03/03/1951), and Rachael Elizabeth (“Lizzie”)(b. 09/10/1879, d.
?) and two brothers, James Thomas (“Tom”)(05/10/1875 – d. ?) and Rube
(William Wade (“Rube”) (08/24/1883 – 12/29/1969). Major Robert Crume Collins, James Simpson Collins,
James Polk Collins,
Mariah Jane Collins, Lallie Otee
(“Sis”) Collins, Rosa Paralee Collins
and William Wade (“Rube”)
Collins, are buried at Mission Cemetery in Winona. Lallie (“Sis”)
and Rosa Paralee Collins never married. Rube married Mrs. Myrtle McCarty. Information about Myrtle McCarty Collins
(Rube’s wife) and Rachael Elizabeth (“Lizzie”) Collins is currently unknown. James Thomas (“Tom”) is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Winona -- MARKER CLOSE-UP – with his wife Lila (04/26/1891
– 12/25/1968). Lila’s maiden
name and other information is currently unknown. Our Cousin, Elsie Lilburn,
has traced the Collins Family History to England in 1569 (14 generations),
beginning with John Collins I, Keeper of the Gael in the Court of King
Charles I. To go

Rhine (10/12/1920 –
07/01/2002), was one four children of John Cleveland (04/23/1886 – 02/02/1951) and Exyah
Bond Hambrick (04/02/1884 – 01/07/1955), who were
originally from Attala County, married on April 20, 1906, and moved
to Vaiden shortly thereafter. [Ed
Note: The marriage license of John C.
and Exyah Bond Hambrick shows 04/20/1906 as the
wedding date. Other accounts show the
date as 04/22/1906, but this is the date the license was filed.] The Hambrick children included: Harvey O. (07/04/1907 – 08/06/1928), Claude (10/15/1908
– 07/20/1915), Louise (03/02/1915 – 12/18/1979), and
Juanita. Grandfather owned Hambrick’s Blacksmith Shop
in Vaiden for many years and Grandmother was a homemaker. Grandfather Hambrick developed an improved
version of a plow and applied for a patent on it, but the application was
stolen from the mail, supposedly from a competitor. It is unclear if his design was used. He is seen here with a miniature version of the
plow. My mother
(Juanita) worked at the Chenille Plant in Winona, the Vaiden Bank, Vaiden
Manufacturing Company, North Vaiden Public Schools and Winona Manor Nursing Home. She was also self-employed for several
years in child-care. Jim Hambrick (brother to John Cleveland Hambrick) Photo John Cleveland Hambrick

“The Forge of the
Blacksmith” Louise Hambrick married Wilson Monroe Caddess (06/18/1917 – 11/18/1997),
who was originally from Doddsville, MS, but moved
to Winona at an early age. Louise (Aunt “E”) also worked at
the Chenille Plant, was a homemaker, active in community organizations, and
kept children in her home in Vaiden throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Louise was the “second mother” to many of
the children in the area, and loved to visit with family and relatives, cook,
and spend hours researching family history. [Louise was 64y, 9m, 16d when she
died. Wilson was 62y, 6m, 0d old when
Louise died. Ronnie was 24y, 11m, 17d
old when Louise died and 42y, 10m, 18d old when Wilson died. Juanita was 59y, 2m, 6d old when Louise
died and 77y, 1m, 6d old when Wilson died.
Cody was 4y, 7m, 19d old when Wilson died. Sean was 1y, 8m, 3d old when Wilson died.] After graduating from Winona High School in Winona, MS on May 24, 1937 (Commencement Cover; Commencement Program), Wilson Caddess
served in the United States Army Civilian
Conservation Corps and 840th Aviation Engineers. After receiving his Honorable Discharge from the
Army, Wilson (Uncle “Oogie”) owned Caddess’ Radio and TV Repair Shop in Vaiden,
and was the Fire Chief and Water
Superintendent of Vaiden for over 40 years. He retired on January 31, 1990. The Caddess TV Repair Shop was first
located over the Fullilove Grocery (formerly the
Vaiden Hotel/Vaiden Theater) on Front Street when Wilson’s Father-In-Law (and
my maternal grandfather), J.C. Hambrick owned the blacksmith shop in the location
on back street that later became Austin’s Dry Cleaners. My grandfather built a new blacksmith shop
behind the first one (beside the gristmill and behind Summers Grocery and the
pool hall) in 1946 and ran it until his death in 1951. Wilson moved his TV Repair Shop into my
grandfather’s shop, where it remained until the mid to late 1970s. A fire on Back Street in the mid to late
1960s destroyed Summers Grocery, the Vaiden Pool Hall, and another abandoned
building next to the pool hall.
Summer’s grocery was later rebuilt and remained until Mr. Summers died
in 1968. The Vaiden Bank moved from the original 1890s location (the Vaiden
City Hall, as of 2011) into the Summers Grocery building. Wilson was always there to help someone in
need, and was valued throughout Vaiden for his knowledge of the water
department and his ability to tell someone (without the aid of maps or
blueprints) the location of a water main or coupling, its size, how deep it
was buried, and when it was last repaired.
He also loved visiting with family and friends whenever possible. 1937 Winona High School Graduating Class Article
John and Exyah
Hambrick, Harvey and
Claude are
buried in the Vaiden Cemetery. John Cleveland’s father (my Great-Grandfather) was named John Buchanan Hambrick
(November 13, 1856 – February 5, 1904).
John Buchanan’s father (my Great-Great-Grandfather) was named Andrew Jackson Hambrick (June 28,
1832 – March 18, 1897). John Buchanan Hambrick, his 2nd
wife Lula Angeline Canon Hambrick,
and Andrew Jackson Hambrick
are buried in Springdale Cemetery
between Kosciusko, Mississippi and McAdams, Mississippi. The burial location of John Buchanan Hambrick’s 1st wife, Bettie Miller Hambrick
(d. 03/02/1884), is unknown. It is believed that my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather was named Joseph or Benjamin Hambrick,
but that information is unclear at this time.
Also, family history is scarce prior to my immediate
Grandmothers. NOTE:
The name “Hanbrick,” is one of the older
versions of “Hambrick.” “Hanrick” is another.
Andrew Jackson Hambrick’s marker at
Springdale is spelled “Hanbrick.” This was either a typographical error by
the makers of the marker, or this spelling was used at that time. It is believed, however, that it is an
error, since the 1870 Census spells it as “Hambrick.” In recap, the Hambrick line is as follows: Joseph (or Benjamin) Hambrick
Andrew Jackson Hambrick – married Nancy
Little (daughter of Samuel and Sarah Little) – The Mississippi Attala County Census of 1870
lists the following: Andrew Jackson Hambrick (head of household), 37; Nancy
(wife), 28; and children, as follows: Sarah B., 15; John B., 13; ? Mary A., 11 ?; ? Samuel L., 3 ?; and ? Thad, 1 ?. Nancy Little Hambrick’s burial
location is unknown.
John Buchanan Hambrick – married (1st
wife) Bettie Miller (d. 03/02/1884 – burial location unknown) on 11/02/1877
-- Together they had 2 children: Minnie Mitchell (b. 02/21/1880) and Willie
Charlie Hambrick (b. 05/17/1882 -- d. 11/12/1883). John Buchanan Hambrick married (2nd)
wife Lula Angeline Canon (06/06/1866 – 02/14/1904 -- married on

was responsible for saving the life of Robert McCurdy, a crop-dusting pilot,
when the pilot’s plane caught fire. CLICK HERE for the newspaper
accounts of the accident. CLICK HERE for the story that Mr.
McCurdy wrote for Ag Pilot International concerning the crash. ------------- The Hambrick and Bond sides of my family
are being researched at the present.
As of Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the
Bond information is as follows: ------------- Bond Robert A. Bond (born in South Carolina on 05/14/1828
?) and sister Mary Elizabeth Bond (born in 1826) are the first of the Bond
Family on record at the present time. Mary Elizabeth Bond married W.M. (William Martin) Guest and traveled from Abbeville South
Carolina to Mississippi in the mid 1800's.
The 1860 Mississippi Census (Lafayette County – town of Paris, MS), P.
49, is the first Mississippi Census in which W.M. Guest or Mary E. Guest
appears. It lists, as follows: Martin
Guest, age 48, Physician, birthplace as Georgia; and Mary Guest, age 30,
birthplace as South Carolina, with no mention of Mary Elizabeth as his
wife. One note to remember: before
Mississippi became the 20th state on 12/10/1817, it was part of the
Mississippi Territory, which was organized on April 7, 1798 from territory ceded
by Georgia and South Carolina. The
Mississippi Territory included Alabama and Georgia. Prior to 12/10/1817, W.M. Guest could have
been using Georgia as the place of birth, when, in reality, it was part of
Georgia’s holdings (GA, AL, MS, etc.).
However . . . in the 1870 Mississippi
Census (Yalobusha County – town of Coffeeville, MS), P. 33, there is no
mention of Mary E. Guest or the word “wife” for that matter. It lists, as follows: W.M. Guest, age 55
(this age is erroneous – possibly a guess by the enumerator – in 1870, W.M.
would have been 58), Physician, birthplace of Georgia; Julia A. (or S.)
Guest, age 60, keeping house (possibly an older sister), birthplace of North
Carolina; A. Guest (cannot read), age 23, at home, birthplace of MS; Joseph Guest,
age 16, no designation as son or ward); Buster Moore, age 47 (or 41), black,
farm hand, Birthplace of North Carolina.
Once again, the 1880 Mississippi
Census (Yalobusha County – town of Coffeeville, MS), Supervisor’s District #
3, P. 18, Enumeration District # 208, shows W.M. Guest, age 68, Physician;
Mary E. Guest, age 54, Wife; and Henry C. Guest, age 8, Ward. W.M. Guest is listed as being born in
Georgia, and Mary E. is listed as being born in South Carolina. The reason Mary E. wasn’t mentioned in the
1870 Mississippi Census is unknown at this time. There is no listing for W.M. Guest or Mary
E. Guest in the 1890 Mississippi Census or later, indicating that both may
have died between 1880 and 1990, or they simply may have moved to another
state. Robert A. Bond married 1st wife Maria Jane Palmer
(01/11/1834 – 02/16/1859) on 02/16/1854.
They had two children: Champion Palmer Bond
(born 10 or 11/06/1855) and Augustus O’Neal Bond (09/04/1858 –
11/25/1950). When Maria Jane Palmer died on 02/16/1859,
Robert married 2nd wife, Rebecca E. Towers
(birth date n/a) on 09/06/1860. Robert
and Rebecca had two children: Alexander Reed Bond
(born 10 or 11/26/1861) and William Payden
Bond (born 12/11/1863).
Robert
A. Bond is thought to be buried at the Hebron Cemetery,
Montgomery County, MS. Further information for all the children of
Robert A. Bond is currently unavailable, except for Augustus O. Bond (from
Robert’s marriage to 1st wife Maria Jane Palmer), which is, as
follows: Augustus O’Neal Bond – OBIT 1 OBIT 2 -- married 1st wife, Sara
Catherine Ellis (05/19/1856 – 05/09/1897) on 11/29/1876. They had 10 children, as follows: Cooper Ernest Bond (05/19/1878 –
11/19/1904); James Clifton Bond (07/12/1880 – 11/29/1956); Myrah Elizabeth Bond
