Terry Thornton, of Fulton, Mississippi, died in the evening of August 9, 2010. He was known among genealogy bloggers for his popular blog and writing on the Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi. I consider his blog to be one of the very best produced for a local area. He’s been at it for years, and the blog archives are loaded with local history info – all written with Terry’s unique style.
Lori Thornton posted a note at her Smoky Mountain Historian blog stating that the E.E. Pickle Funeral Home of Amory, Mississippi will be in charge of arrangements. An online guest book at their site will be available soon for condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with his family. He will be missed.
Notes and condolences are popping up around the blogisphere – and there will be many more. Our GeneaBlogger leader, Thomas MacEntee, posted about Terry’s passing. Click here to see his blog.
