I would like to find out more about Rochelle also. My grandfather, Fred Bandy, married a woman with the last name of Arrington there, before he married my grandmother. Her name was Mary Arrington, and she died in childbirth, along with the baby. I also found something from the Little River Lodge, #341 that shows my grandfather joined there on May 18, 1912. I’d like to find out more about the area, and the woman’s family if anyone knows who the family might be.
Thanks, and you can email me at Nancye1962@gmail.com.

Love this page – remember my mother talking about some of these names. Her best friend was Lottie Barrios. Bert Gates mentioned in frame 32, Snooky Dunn being married and moving to Tullos. I don’t know about the man mentioned – she could have been married previously – but when I knew her, Aunt Snooky was married to my Uncle T.J. (Thomas Jefferson) Adams. He grew up in Rochelle, the son of James Allen and Melissa Clara Wagner Adams. His siblings were Valrus, Beatrice, Myrtis, Wenzel, and Vivian Marie (my mother).

We know the history. This town was on lumber mill property created by the mill when the mill closed the town was closed. The property is now owned by another lumber company. I don’t think any of these black people were Hebrew.

A tombstone with a hand pointing up is also found on Jewish tombstones. The name “Rochelle” is also Hebrew. Somebody really might want to check into more of this town’s history.

I just found this site and have found it intersting reading. I have always wanted to know more about Rochelle. My father, Hollis Mixon “Dude” White was born in Rochelle and grew up in Georgetown. He eventually owned Stella’s Wildcatter Cafe and a bar in tullos (he died in 1961). My grandfather and grandmother lived in Georgetown until they died: JOhn L. White and Susie Mixon White (died in 1962 and 1954 respectively). My aunt, Aline White Tully lived in Georgetown until her death (1991). Does anyone know anything about my relatives.
Would love to read anything about the history of Rochelle as well.

Used to live in Winnfield. I wish I had heard about this back then, I love exploring places like that.

Hi, just wandered by. I have a Brooks Brothers site. Truly more information than you can imagine on the web. Wasn’t what I was looking for, but good site. Have a nice day.

I am trying to find Henry Charles Morrison, and wife, Sarah Ellen’s graves. They are ny great grandparents. I think Henry died in Pollack.

I am also related to the Atwells and Leggetts and Browns.

How many cemeteries are there in Pollack?
