Wilma Vertrese Young, 72, died Monday, July 11, 2011 at King’s Daughters Hospital.

Ms. Young was born July 5, 1939 in Vicksburg to Jack and Rozelle Hearn Young. She was a retired cash manager for Mississippi Chemical Corporation and a Baptist.
Survivors include nieces and nephew Beth Ann Anderson of Yazoo City, Vera Conn of Vicksburg and Jeff Hearn of Anchorage, Alaska; and numerous cousins.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
