Howard, Dugar, Johnson, Fair, Scott, Robinson--Hello!  My name is Grace Johnson and I am requesting information, if you have any, on my grandparents.  My grandmother's name was Lillie Howard and was married to my grandfather, Joseph Howard.  I don't know whether or not that they were born in Lula, Mississippi; but, they did, indeed, reside there.  We stayed on the 'Rollin Jones' plantation in the 50's that I know of.  I believe that that was also our place of residence in the 40's since I had a brother that was born in 1947.  Some of the names of their children are as follows:  Lillie Dugar  nee Lillie Johnson.  Pearlie Fair nee Pearlie Johnson. Dasie Scott nee Dasie Johnson.  Lillie Dugar (nee Johnson) was born in Dublin, MS.  This is briefly all the information that I have on my family history.   With the exception that I do know that my biological father's name was William Robinson; I do not have any other information on him either except that he had a lot of children: Vanilla Robinson, Bessie Robinson, etc.  Will you please help me or refer me to the right sources to gather this information?  Thanking you in advance.  grace.johnson@hacm.org    ^04-04

Lula-Rich High School, Kroll--Greetings.  I am at work on a biography of a minor Tennessee writer, Harry Harrison Kroll, who taught at the Lula-Rich Consolidated High School for a year or two back in the 1920s.  He later wrote a couple of books that employed the area as thinly disguised settings.  I will stop at the courthouse to check public records there, but is there a chance that a photo survives of the school?  Any other advice?   Richard Saunders, Curator, Special Collections/Univ.
