I knew both Edger and Emma Chrisler and they were wonderful people. As a reporter for the Vicksburg Evening Post, I frequently got to Port Gibson and Claibourne County. I always dropped by the Reveille office to see what was going in the area. I was also an avid follower of the "Miss Print" weekly column. Emma was a fine lady, and Port Gibson will be less for her absence.
Thanks for that Bo Weevil! I forgot about your history & relationship with the Crislers and the Reveille. I would have sent you funeral notice if my brain was working right. Many blessings to you.
BTW, I just added this in, but did you know Marjorie Bufkin? Long time Reveille employee. In concurrent tragedy, she passed away on Wed May 7th, the day of Big Emma's funeral.
Two great people who made the Delta special to me. Keith with his gentle warm energy and Big Emma's discipline! They say they leave us in 3's. My Father, Big Emma, and Keith. May the River Be With them all. Mark River
I didn't know that Marjorie had passed. Thanks for the update. I got a phone call when Emma passed, so I knew that day. I hope Emma's funeral was wonderful - she certainly was!
