Yazoo family discovers memorial to Coleman in France
William Coleman of the Carter community prepares for takeoff.By JAMIE PATTERSON
Herald Reporter
Some may remember William Coleman as a red-haired, freckle faced country boy who worked on his family’s plantation near Carter.
Coleman was an intelligent and cheerful boy who showed an abundance of kindness, laughter and pride.
He was also a hero.
While memories and old photographs are all family and friends have left to remember Coleman by in Carter, there is a memorial in his honor in a small town in France.
The story of William Coleman is a series of twists and turns. It is a story of courage, survival, fear, hope, and reconciliation with the past. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

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.
