Museuming Museum to receive new portrait Thank the Lord for the much needed rain. The rain came with a darkening of the sky, lots of loud noise, wild wind, and clashing of thunderation and it was only a few feet above our heads. According to my rain gauge, we were given two inches of water. This week we had a visitor from Macedonia (above present day Greece) which is where Paul went on his third missionary journey in the New Testament. The visitor was very beautiful. I asked her about Macedonia. Her reply was, “Everybody’s like me.” The country was formed from what used to be Yugoslavia. Our other visitors were from California to Virginia and Wisconsin to Texas. They came to see the Marshall County Historical Museum, this eighth wonder of the world. We have delightful new help at the museum -- Martha Fitch and Meredith Gray (widow of Dickie). We still have capable Jennifer who has been with us since 2003. On June 15 we are planning a very special day here at the museum. David Person has commissioned a new portrait of his ancestor, the remarkable Judge James F. Trotter, to be painted. The judge lived from 1802 to 1866. The judge did a lot in his lifetime. Most men would have felt fulfilled to have attained one thing Judge Trotter accomplished. Among his great feats were being a U.S. senator, a state senator, serving on the High Court of Error and Appeals for the state, vice chancellor for the northern district, and the second lawyer to teach at the Ole Miss law school. When he died at age 64, he was the circuit judge. The judge had a life of brilliant deeds and services to the world. His life was a series of distinguished endeavors of public service. The new portrait will be presented by Helen Hopkins in the memory of her beloved late husband, Frank Trotter Hopkins. Numerous cousins and relatives of Judge Trotter will be here to celebrate his life. The ceremony will be at 3 p.m. and you are invited. During the Depression when I was small, the neighborhood children would go over on Van Dorn and play “Tarzan” and swing on a grapevine cliff over the deep land drop off. One day Jane and I went to play “Tarzan.” I reached out to grab the vine and when I looked down, there was a dead man covered in blood lying there. Quickly Jane and I ran home to tell my mother. I went flying into the house and said, “Mother, there is a dead man in the ditch!” She said, “Don’t say such things!” to which I replied, “But it’s true!” She called my father, who called the police and they went down to check out the man. It turned out the man was a hobo who had been injured when he fell off the train two blocks down the street. He had not eaten in days but he wasn’t quite dead – just unconscious. My father and police got the man to the doctor and saved his life. The museum is open most of the time, five days a week, sometimes on Saturday and never on Sunday (that’s the Lord’s day). We open at 10 a.m. (sometimes I’m late) and close at 5 p.m. except when I close early. You could call ahead and check. Our number is 662-252-3669.
