Re: “Letter From the Editor”
Thank you, Bruce for helping make the public aware of the horrific holocaust happening at Memphis Animal Services. Mass Euthanasia is nothing any of any human should be proud. This article will help save lives and hopefully motivate others to ask, “What can I do to help save a life at Memphis Animal Services?” What is the answer? Foster, Adopt, or donate to an Animal Rescue!!
Re: “Shelby Farms Graves - Revisited”
Sir, my grandmother was Mignon Louise Mann and she was born in Holly Springs, MS. Her father was Clarence Mann, who rode his horse to Germantown regularly to visit his relatives and sell horses. This article regarding the Manns has very much intrigued our family, as we are certain these have to be relatives of my grandmother, probably her grandparents.
Thank you for sharing this story! It has really brought excitement to our family!

Re: “The Grave Mystery at Shelby Farms”
My grandmother's maiden name was Mann. She was born and raised in Holly Springs, MS. We heard tales of her father riding horseback to Germantown to visit his relatives and sell horses. I think this family is related to my grandmother, probably her grandparents. Her name was Mignon Louise Mann. Her father's name was Clarence Mann. I've got to get with my other relatives as to her father's additional relatives. This is just amazing to think they are probably my relatives! My sister and I want to visit this site. Thank you for all your investigating! Brenda Horn
