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

the brother of James Simpson Collins,
father of James Polk Collins (Mariah’s husband)).

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 Cleveland and Exyah Lee 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’Neal (07/04/1907 – 08/06/1928), Claude
Bond (10/15/1908 – 07/20/1915), Maysie
Louise (03/02/1915 – 12/18/1979), and Juanita Elizabeth. 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 41 years. He retired on January 31, 1990. A photo of his retirement plaque is
pictures HERE. 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 ?.

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
05/29/1884). They had the following
children: John Cleveland (04/23/1886 – 02/02/1951), James W. (“Jim”) (04/22/1901 –
02/13/1971), Beulah New (05/15/1893 – 11/25/1945), Lillie Need (05/14/1889

died at the age of 6 yrs, 9 mos
and 5 days, due to cramps and / or gastrointestinal poisoning from eating
green plums. His middle initial of "B" is thought to stand for
Bond, and will be listed here as such, but is unconfirmed. Harvey was struck and killed
by a train while walking home from work in the early a.m. It is still
undetermined if he was actually hit by a train – since he walked this
distance to work often, or if he was waylaid, killed and placed on the
tracks. He was 21 years, 1 month, 2 days old when he was killed. Caddess Wilson Monroe Caddess was the son of Leonard Taylor Caddess
and Dora Alice Townsend Caddess. Leonard Caddess later married Bessie Blaylock Collins after her divorce from Joe Marlow Collins. Leonard T. Caddess owned and operated Caddess’ Grocery, across from the Winona Country Club, on Highway 407 in

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 --

“Elder” 5. John Collins III 4. Thomas Collins 3. William Collins 2. John Collins 1. John Collins In researching family
history, the lineage and working backward from Elvis, the connection seems to
falter at Jessie D. McClowell Presley’s parent(s). More research will follow,
but as of 03/24/2013, I am not claiming any family relationship to Elvis
Presley. There are just too many
variables and unknowns to consider in doing the research. |
