From information on the sign by the door at Peoples Burial Association in Edwards, you got a special deal if you died on the weekend. Next door was the Do Drop In Cafe Kelly. The photo was taken in the 1930s and is from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

Historic photos taken in and around Vicksburg are featured on Sundays in The Vicksburg Post. Many of the photos are from the J. Mack Moore Collection at the Old Court House Museum. Though not all photos were taken by Mr. Moore, they are part of the collection given to the museum by longtime Vicksburg Post managing editor Charles J. Faulk. Appropriate photos from the public will also be accepted and published. To submit a photo, contact Karen Gamble at 636-4545.
