I have a newspaper copy of this story that carried a picture of
Jeremiah Guin. The placement of the article on the page was broken
up into several columns.  All I can figure is that there was a
paragraph accidentally omitted from the text.

It said in one paragraph that the wife of Jeremiah was Blanche
Collins and in the next she was Elizabeth.  I believe the missing
paragraph was saying the reporter talked to the widow of the past
Mayor of Guin, Clarence (Paul) Guin.  She is the former Blanche
Collins.  Blanche is a lovely woman who resides in Guin and is
the author of "Guin, the Crossroads to NW AL."

There are several errors in the dates on the death of the children of
Jeremiah and Elizabeth that I would like to correct before they
might cause possible confusion.

Sarah didn't die in 1900.  She was in the 1920 census for Nettleton,
Monroe Co., MS. She was the wife of Willis G. Adams. I don't know,
when she died, but would love to if anyone has that information.

John Bryan Guin, the eldest child, died Oct. 26, 1898 rather than
early 1900.

Jeremiah, Jr. d. Nov. 2, 1942 rather than 1940.

James (Henry) did die in 1920 on Nov. 24.

Elias did die in 1937, in Sept.

Ira died before his father on Nov. 28, 1889 rather than in 1945.  It
was felt that his sudden death possibly caused Jeremiah's stroke
and subsequent death on Jan. 20, 1890.

Emma died in Lowndes Co., MS on April 10, 1952. She married
Egbert G. Flippo.

Jack did flee after killing the town Marshal in Dec. 1890 and was never
heard from again.

Ella married James Daniel Reeves and did died in 1954 on Nov. 16.

Monya: I am really enjoying the articles.  Thanks for going to so
much effort to make them available to us.
