This is William M. Cash of Delta State College interview Mrs. Mary T. Vandeventer; affectionately know as \u201cMary Addie\u201d.\u00a0 Today is February 21, 1974.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now your family is one of the pioneer families of Issaquena County.\u00a0 Could you give us a little biographical sketch of your parents, your grandparents, or perhaps even of your great-grandparents?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My great-grandfather was J.L. Root.\u00a0 He came to this county from Virginia, I believe.\u00a0 He was a United States timber inspector, and it was in this country that he met my great-grandmother, who was a Lumas from North Carolina.\u00a0 They were married in Lake Providence, Louisiana, which is right across the river from Mayersville.\u00a0 I know very little about my grandfather Root, because he was in and out of Issaquena County most of the time, as an inspector.\u00a0 But, I was very close to my great-grandmother, who lived to the ripe old age of 95, and died after I was married.\u00a0 My grandfather was William Hester Brown, who came to this county in the late 1800\u2019s or the early 1900\u2019s from Cary, Mississippi.\u00a0 I understand that when he arrived in Issaquena County, or at Myersville, he had 50\u00a2 in his pocket, and he worked in a saloon here in Mayersville.\u00a0 At that time there were several saloons in Mayersville, and he worked there, and he became very friendly with a Frenchman by the name of Jean P.L. Connar, who financed him when buying the home, the place where we were all born and reared, the Riverdale Plantation, which is north of Mayersville about 7 or 8 miles.\u00a0 And now my mother is still living in the home that my grandparents bought from Mr. Turnville in the late 1800\u2019s or early 1900\u2019s, and I believe that she will be able to fill us in a little bit more on the events during her time.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps you might share something concerning your early formal education, your schooling in the county here, or early memories, or as we might characterize them, childhood memories.<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When I started school, there were no schools in Issaquena County, except a little frame building here at Mayersville.\u00a0 All of the children in the northern end of the county went to school at Glen Allan Consolidated School, which was about 7 or 8 miles from my home.\u00a0 We rode in a school bus that was nothing more but a pick up truck, with just maybe a tarpaulin to keep the rain off of us.\u00a0 Among my early childhood memories is a fact that we had no cafeteria at the school.\u00a0 We all had to take our lunches, and I don\u2019t believe they even had a cafeteria, well maybe we had one before I graduated from high school at Glen Allan.\u00a0 I had just started to school when the levee broke in 1927, and I remember very well that day; my grandfather came to the school to get us because they had gotten worried that the water would be there by afternoon.\u00a0 So, by the time we got home from school, he had time to get the cars on the levee and move the chickens and cows up to what was the upper place, which was at Ellwood, about 10 miles north of the home place, water never did get there, and anyway, he moved his cattle up there, and he had time to get the commodities out of the little store that was right across the road from the house, and these were placed in the hall.\u00a0 All during the flood people would come up to the front door in a boat, and we\u2019d sell them tobacco and sugar as long as it lasted, and we stayed right in the house during the 1927 flood, with water lacking nineteen inches of getting in the house.\u00a0 And, one of the things that I distinctly remember was the steamboat Sprague, which is now at Vicksburg, would come up and land at the Addie boat landing and bring us supplies, not only us, but all of the refugees and the people that were in that area.\u00a0 I had never seen as many loaves of bread in all my life as they brought in once or twice a week to us as well as other supplies.\u00a0 There was another boat that we used to watch.\u00a0 It was real fun to sit on the levee and watch the Uncle Oliver come up the river.\u00a0 It was an old boat that picked up the stranded cows and horses that didn\u2019t make it to higher ground before the water got in.\u00a0 And, the only entertainment that we had during that time \u2013 there were about, I guess, twelve of us in my grandfather\u2019s home, and we had a great big open skiff, as they called it then, and we would put a rocking chair in there, and put my great-grandmother in there, and we\u2019d all go riding on Sunday afternoon and watch my grandfather shoot the snakes out of the trees, and we had an old victorola\u00a0 that I remember on of those with the dog on it with the big speaker, and one of the records that was very popular during that time was \u201cMuddy Water at My Feet\u201d and it surely was during that time.\u00a0 I believe that\u2019s just a few of the things that I remember, maybe later on I can think of more.\u00a0 After I graduated from Glen Allan the school, I sent to Jackson to Draughon Business College and finished there, came back home and I went to work.\u00a0 My first job was in the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office in Mayersville.\u00a0 At that time the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office was in the ground floor of the jail, so we can appreciate this modern business today.\u00a0 And I married my childhood sweet heart, Louis Vandeventer, whose family were life-time residents of Washington County, just south of Glen Allan.\u00a0 We have two children, Louis Vandeventer, Jr., better know as Buddy, who graduated from Rolling Fork High School and went on and graduated from Delta State in 1971.\u00a0 Our other son, William, better know as Bill Vandeventer, is a senior this year at Mississippi State.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Certainly Issaquena County has played a significant role in the history of the Mississippi Delta.\u00a0 Indeed, I have been working with people in Sharkey County, but we are certainly aware of the fact that the development really was from Issaquena County in 1844 back to Sharkey County which was created in the 1870\u2019s.\u00a0 In the process, then, we perhaps have seen great changes that have taken place in the county, going from a boom town to maybe a slightly depopulated stage, a declining business center.\u00a0 Could you share with us your knowledge of some of the changes that have taken place in the region?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I believe maybe one of the major changes is in transportation, when the highways began to be developed.\u00a0 We had better roads, and the people could move out better, and they were going other places.\u00a0 They could go to other cities or towns nearby, and we began to lose people then.\u00a0 Then in the early days the packet boats were very prominent here, at Mayersville.\u00a0 Mayersville was a thriving little town.\u00a0 Now, this has been passed on to me down through the years, the packet boats were just a little bit before my time, but Mayersville had a Chinese bakery, a hotel where all of the salesmen, they called them drummers back in those days, always stayed at Mrs. Herzog\u2019s. That was one of the major boarding houses then in this area.\u00a0 Also was the old Halship Home, and the Birdsong\u2019s.\u00a0 Those were prominent families back in those days, and as could come in to Mayersville in wagons, on horses, or in buggies and that was away, and as I said the roads were opened up and transportation was better, then Mayersville began to decline.\u00a0 And as well as the population of Issaquena County.\u00a0 We had the big plantations back in that era, and all of the work on equipment and modern gins began to come in, then this all began to dwindle.\u00a0 Whereby now, not too many years ago, these big plantations were sold to the government and divided up into forty acre tracts, and this made people leave here too, because one family would be on forty acres, you see, well that was all that they could work.\u00a0 And also people began to go to factories, and as they went to school and were educated in different\u00a0 fields, so many of the children were not interested in agriculture and because Issaquena is a predominantly agricultural county, there was nothing for them to come back to in this area.\u00a0 And, most of the young people who did come back were either sons of farmers or grandsons or uncles, I mean cousins, they had roots here.\u00a0 And we do not have too many young people coming back to Issaquena County now, for that very reason.\u00a0 They are either going in to education or business administration, some professional type work and they\u2019re not interested in agriculture.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Certainly, your family has been prominent in Issaquena County government for years, an exceptionally large number of years.\u00a0 Could you share with us something of the participation of the family, going back as early as the first offices held and things of this type?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My grandfather, William Hester Brown, was in county government for a number of years, having been a member of the Board of Supervisors from the fifth district for approximately 20 or 24 years, I\u2019m not sure, and out of that time he was president of the Board for about fifteen years, I believe.\u00a0 And they had always taken interest in county government, and I have been in the county government since, well I\u2019ve been Chancery Clerk since 1960, the former Clerk having died and I filled her unexpired term and have been in office ever since.\u00a0 Prior to that, as I told you, my first job was in the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office, and I worked there until \u2013 I believe I worked in the Clerk\u2019s office from about 1938 or 39 until about 1942, and then I was out rearing my family for a while, and then I went back into the Clerk\u2019s office and was deputy clerk from about 1955 until 1960 when I became Chancery Clerk.\u00a0 And, during\u00a0 that time, from the time that I can remember we have all been in county government or have taken and interest in it.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Certainly, I would like to congratulate you, and as a historian, express appreciation for the condition of the records that I have seen here, under you custodianship, and as custodian of official records, well certainly you have a knowledge of how these records have been preserved, and perhaps you could share with us some expression of the type record that one might find in the Chancery and Circuit Clerk\u2019s office, how these might be utilized in history projects and things of this nature.<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I believe one of the best sources of information for historical purposes in the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office would be the minutes of the Board of Supervisors.\u00a0 As we all know, the Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the county, and I think the minutes speak for themselves.\u00a0 At the very beginning of the county, in 1844, the first meeting of the Board of Supervisors, or Board of Police, as it was known during those days, was held in the Tallulah District, and the purpose of this meeting was to select a\u00a0 county seat, and this was Deer Creek Mayers, that was the selection that was made, and this was where the first courthouse and jail were built in Issaquena County.\u00a0 From my records I find that somewhere between 1845 and 1855, there must have been a small courthouse at that time, and I also have found that around 1860, the Clerk, the Chancery clerk, was ordered to move all the records and papers form this courthouse at Tallulah for safekeeping, and from all indications, the Clerk moved them some several times, and it seemed to have been from house to house.\u00a0 And on of the amazing things to me is that some of the records that he mentions in his reports are still intact, still in my office, and he only, in his reports to the Board of Supervisors he tells them that he has moved these records and where they are located at that time.\u00a0 He mentions the fact that there was only one map that was never returned.\u00a0 It seems that there were some U.S. gunboats coming up Deer Creek, and one of the pilots wanted a map, and he let him have a map of Issaquena County, and it was never returned.\u00a0 Mayersville has not always been the county seat, as I told you.\u00a0 In the beginning the courthouse was at Deer Creek Mayers.\u00a0 When the courthouse site was changed in 1870, by a special act of the legislature, the courthouse was to be built at Gibson Landing, which is also Mayersville now.\u00a0 But, I think the way they got that name of Gibson Landing was the fact that Mr. David Mayer deeded six acres of land to the county for a courthouse or a county site, and the name of his plantations was Gibson, and I believe that\u2019s where it got its\u2019 name.\u00a0 They had the first meeting of the Board of Supervisors at Gibson Landing in March of 1871, and the first courthouse was sold, for fifteen hundred and fifteen dollars back in 1872.\u00a0 Now, when Mr. Mayer deeded the Board of Supervisors this six acres here, where the courthouse is today, he also was the successful bidder in building the courthouse and the jail, and they were both built for nineteen hundred and ninety five dollars and fifty five cents.\u00a0 And at that time, that was about 1871, and he had about a year to complete it, and the records show that he did complete the courthouse in June of 1872, and that\u2019s when they changed the name then, I believe about that time, to Mayersville, and I\u2019m sure they got the M-A-Y-E-R-S from Mr. Mayers\u2019 name, M-A-Y-E-R, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s where the name came from.\u00a0 The records were house in the ground floor of the jail, which was also the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office, Circuit Clerk\u2019s office, Superintendent of Education, the Sheriff, and we had a small room for the Board of Supervisors to meet.\u00a0 The new courthouse that we are in now, was built in 1957.\u00a0 We moved in here in December of 1957, and the old building, the old courthouse building, which was a plain building, was sold and moved away, and then the jail was torn down, and the records were moved into the new courthouse.\u00a0 The new jail we have now was not built until about four years after that, which would have been in the early sixties. \u00a0I can certainly appreciate this modern building now, having had worked for some several years in the ground floor of the jail, with poor lighting conditions.\u00a0 Now by that I mean a light bulb on a string coming from the ceiling.\u00a0 My typewriter was on a big round table, and we had no air condition, our heating was from a coal grate, and if you got across the room from it you were freezing to death.\u00a0 But, one particular summer when we were working over there in the jail, we had an abstract crew working, and we had a group in rebinding some of our old records.\u00a0 We were very crowded and some of the workers, the lawyers were down on the floor with the books.\u00a0 So, we can appreciate all of the nice working space that we have over thee, I think it\u2019s very funny and I\u2019ll pass it on to you.\u00a0 The inmates were upstairs over our desks.\u00a0 The jail was over the Chancery Clerk\u2019s office, and there were two inmates at that time.\u00a0 The sheriff had confiscated a truckload of whiskey that was coming through Issaquena County, and had stored it in the vacant room upstairs, and that particular day the inmates got a coat hanger and fished out some of the whiskey that had been confiscated, and they had a hilarious time that afternoon, in fact we had to get the deputy sheriff to go up and quiet them, so we could work.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Certainly being an agricultural type county, it seem that the County Agent, Home Demonstration Club, have probably played a very significant role in history of the county.\u00a0 Would you share with us some of your memories of these organizations?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Far back as I can remember, Issaquena County had always had a Home Agent and a County Agent.\u00a0 These have always played an active part in Issaquena County, and back at the time of my childhood, we did not have the news media that we have today, and the ladies depended upon the Home Demonstration Agent to bring the information into the home, and they also looked forward to these weekly or monthly meetings that they have.\u00a0 It was informative as well as a social gathering for them.\u00a0 I can remember taking an active part in the 4-H Club, in my younger days, and we do not have the 4-H today as we had then, because of the news media and the educational programs that they have in the schools for the children now.\u00a0 Our fathers depended on the County Agent to come and help him with this planting and his poisoning, just as they do today.\u00a0 Also they used them for spraying the fruit trees, the pecan trees, and so forth, and also in the vaccination of their cattle and the other livestock that they had.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t have veterinarians back in those days, so the County Agent was the one that brought the medicine of vaccination material in to the farmers.\u00a0 Also, Issaquena County has always had a Health Nurse, far as I can remember, most of them lived in Issaquena County, and they played a very active part during the 1927 flood in seeing that the people had their immunizations from the typhoid fever and so forth during the flooding.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would you share with us some of your early memories of religious training and present membership in the church?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 At the present time, I\u2019m a communicant of the Chapel of the Cross Episcopal Church in Rolling Fork.\u00a0 In my early childhood days there was not an Episcopal Church in Issaquena County.\u00a0 We attended a Union Church in Glen Allen in Washington County.\u00a0 This church was deeded to the three denominations, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Episcopal, by the Spencer family, and we would have a Baptist minister there one Sunday and a Presbyterian the next Sunday, and an Episcopal the next Sunday, but we all had Sunday school together.\u00a0 And, I was confirmed in the Union Church by Bishop Green, who only came over, the Bishop only came about once or twice a year because we had very few communicants at that time.\u00a0 The Union Church still stands today.\u00a0 It\u2019s been remodeled and is used by the Baptists as a Baptist Church now because there are no more Episcopalians or Presbyterians in that area.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What changes have you observed in the religious patterns here of the community over, say the past 20, 30 years?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have noted that in the last 20 years, that only part-time ministers are being employed by the Baptist and Methodist churches in our county.\u00a0 The reason for this being the decline in population, and also our young ministers seem to prefer staying in cities and towns, and there\u2019s not too much activity in a small community, we\u2019re scattered, and I think that\u2019s one of the main reasons for the decline in the resident ministers in Issaquena County.<\/p>\n

W.M.C.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What changes have you observed in architecture or housing styles and things of this type, say over the past 20, 25 years?<\/p>\n

M.T.V.:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Back during my early childhood, I can remember the large plantation homes and Negro cabins, or the tenants\u2019 cabins that went along with it, and down through the years these have all been demolished.\u00a0 The trend has been to replace them with modern homes with bathroom facilities and a lot of them are air conditioned.\u00a0 You do not see very many dilapidated cabins anymore.\u00a0 Many of the old silos and cotton gins that were in the county are gone and you will find only maybe, one or two modernized gins.\u00a0 Down through the years each farmer has his own gin on the plantation, but this has all been done away with now.<\/p>\n
