| This book consists of chronological abstracts of genealogical value gleaned from the earliest existing issues to the turn of the century. Although the abstracts do not start until the early 1870s, references to the early years of Leake County are found in the letters to the editor, death notices and other items. People from many other locations are mentioned in these abstracts, since The Carthaginian copied items from other weeklies about happenings in the neighboring counties of Neshoba, Scott, Attala and Holmes, and other parts of the state. - United States - Mississippi - Leake |
