ZACK MIMMS, colored former slave on the plantation of JOHN WATKINS, Laurence, GA. who
celebrated his hundredth birthday Feb.12 died Sunday after a long illness in the home of
his daughter, Mrs. ROSA THOMASON, 2701 Vanness street.
He was born Feb. 12, 1843 in LAURENCE. His wife, Mrs. Lila MIMMS died in 1898. A member
of Mt. Olive Baptist church, he was a resident of Port Huron 18 years.
He is survived by his daughter 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
The remains are in the Arthur E. Smith funeral home. Funeral arrangements are not
completed.
I would like to know if I can get a census look up on these two men, Zack Mimms and John
Watkins?
Church records for Zack Mimms
Land records for John Watkins and any other information that can be added.
Thank You
