Confederate Battle Flag 1861-1865

 

In 1861 the constitution of the Confederate States of America was adopted and the flag of the Confederacy authorized to be made and raised. For the next four years during the Civil War or the War of the Rebellion as it is officially known, our Gulf Coast lived and fought with the rest of the South loyal to this flag under Jefferson Davis as President.

 

  Old Glory 1865 to Present (1990)

 

With the close of the Civil War, the Confederate Battle Flag was laid to rest, tattered and worn.  The South and the North were once again joined together as the United States of America and Old Glory was raised over the whole land and waves proudly today as our symbol of freedom, humanity and justice.   (Sun-Herald Feb.22,1981)

 

FLAG 6

 

  The first official state flag of Mississippi was adopted on Jan. 26, 1861, several weeks after Mississippi became the second Southern state to leave the Union.  In a show of independence, the banner was designed on white background with the traditional magnolia tree in the center and the familiar Lone Star in the upper left corner.

Flink, Chas. lived on Hwy 90 behind his place of business.  Late one night he heard a noise in the yard, saw a man trying to steal tires.  Fear of being caught, the man fired a shotgun, killing Chas. Fink.  The police picked up a man named Dale Morris and held an unforgettable trial in the Bay St. Louis Courthouse.  Many of the townspeople thought the tall, handsome man from Montana was not guilty and brought special homemade goodies to him in his jail cell.  His first trial was an ordeal to Mrs. Bernice Flink wife of the deceased and ended in a mistrial.  There were one or two other trials after that and finally Dale Morris was charged with a guilty verdict.  On one of the "vacations" from jail, he had a rendezvous with a woman whom he was accused of severely beating.  He was caught again and had to serve a much longer sentence.  It is not known if or when he finally got out of jail or must serve a life long sentence.

Foerster, Foester, Forester, Foster (below)

 

Foerster, John - Our attention having been called to the summer home of Mr. John Foester of New Orleans.  We next drove to that gentleman's house and were amply paid, by seeing one of the prettiest and best kept grounds on the beach.  The house is a large cottage, with wide galleries, halls and windows and large rooms, so that there is always plenty of air stirring.  Situated as it is in the midst of large shade trees on a beautiful lawn it presents a very attractive picture and one of the most pleasing places on the beach.  Mr. Foerster, has done everything to make this an ideal summer home and there has been no money spared in the attempt, until today he has one of the most comfortable homes on the Mexican Gulf, and one that would be an ornament to Saratoga or Long Branch.  Mr. Foester spends much of his time here during the summer months and as the delightful breezes from the broad expanse of the Mississippi Sound stir the leaves on the trees and whisk across the broad Verandas of the Mansion, he can be at ease in hammock or easy chair upon the galleries and imagine how much better off he is than the people of the city, who through business or other duties are unable to get away. Added to the delight of the climate.  Mr. Foerster can go hunting, fishing and bathing, and as many of his friends whom he has entertained can testify all three of these pastimes can be indulged in at their best.  Taken altogether this is an ideal summer residence and indeed when it comes to that it would make a fine winter home as well, as it is seldom that the icy winds of the north sweep down upon this favored coast and chill the dwellers thereon and although Southern people leave the coast the first approach of the winter months Northern people would think they were in Elysium could they but pass the coldest months of the year at this delightful place.
