because he said “That there were too many Odd Damn gates to open”. He is buried in Covington I think.
Then back across the road was the Brick home of Lena Pearl and John Ehrman Landrum. (I use the term brick home because it was the only one I ever saw growing up in the area.)
More land and then the Orr Place this was where the Napoleon Baptist church did their Baptizing. I only went to one. Scary I thought!!
Then the Napoleon Baptist Church and across from that Uncle Willard "Willie" Hover and Aunt Pearl lived. Aunt Pearl was my Grand Mothers sister.
Then came the Wheelers and the Ruffin and then Aunt Mary and Uncle Dave Hover they ran the grocery store. Aunt "Doumie" Idumia lived across the road.
This pretty much was Napoleon.
The next road to the left once cut through Possum Walk to Logtown, if you were not afraid to cross a rickety bridge. You came out by the store that had once been Weston’s. There is a free flowing well there, Sulfur!!!! My Grandson age 3 said it tasted like “egg yogurt."
