Anne s younger sisters, Mary Christine and Lois, made a surprise visit to her home as well. She said it was wonderful to see all her friends and family on her birthday. Anne s family says she s the most optimistic person you ll ever meet.
Greetings from the Town Square Museum. We sincerely hope everyone is safe and well.
Recent visitors include Marilyn Morman Matkins; and Jody Goodwin of Endville who was researching the old Hickory Grove Cemetery.
We have many donations to our museum, but the donation of items belonging to a little girl, Mary Christine Foushee, really touched my heart. She was born April 16, 1922, and passed away in 1926 at the age of three or four of influenza. She was the daughter of Sibyl and Brice Foushee of Auvergene, Arkansas.
The items donated to the museum were found in an old cedar chest that had belonged to Sibyl. When Christine passed away, Sibyl, her mother, packed away her clothes and her doll. The clothes had been tucked away in the cedar chest ever since. The trunk was left to Brice Foushee, Jr. (brother to Mary Christine) who lived in Tupelo and passed away in 2008.
