“This is the old store of John B. Simmons in the Union community near Magnolia. It is no longer there. Uncle John was considered to be the rich uncle and had a beautiful home near the store. The house burned after Uncle John and Aunt Lou died, I believe.”<\/p>\n

“John B. Simmons, son of Reuben and Frances Simmons, was
\nborn June 16, 1862, died Feb. 25, 1946. He married Lulu “Lou”
\nBrown, born July 2, 1873, died Dec. 5, 1949. (Lou was a sister
\nto Julia Brown Simmons, the wife of John B.’s nephew, William F.
\n“Blow Gun” Simmons.) John B. and Lou ran a store in the Union
\ncommunity in Pike County, Miss. and “Uncle John” was one of the
\nmore prosperous members of the family. (Their large home across
\nthe road from the store was remembered by my father, Seldon
\nLang, as quite handsome for the time. The house burned several
\nyears after the death of John B. and Lou, but the old store
\nbuilding still stands on the corner, overgrown with weeds and
\ntrees in 1991.) The children of John B. and Lou Simmons are
\nlisted below.<\/p>\n

A. – Helmer Simmons. <\/p>\n

B. – Alice Simmons.<\/p>\n

C. – Jewell Simmons. <\/p>\n

D. – Prentis Simmons.”<\/p>\n
