Anonymous said...: Your blog site goes on and on...really a treat to see all that's there. It spurred my recollection of Brother Lee's comments at Uncle Major's funeral....I was assigned as a sentry...(stood by the foot of the casket sort of at "attention") for an hour or so before the funeral as people came into the church and viewed the body. Brother Lee said that Major Espy was a man who did not need a eulogy.......he lived it, and anybody who knew him knew that was the truth. I have lots of memories about him I'll share with you sometime. Sam Brannon; April 25, 2015 at 12:29 PM
