Family Had A Part In Opening Up
Holmes County To Civilization
By Chester Marshall

When Mrs. Matte Lipsey told
us a few weeks ago that she owns
some property out on the Ebenezer
road which has been in the same
family since 1885, we figured we
had a story there with an unusual
twist. Because we doubt that but
a few people in Mississippi can
say the same thing.
To make the story even more
amazing, the modest little white
headed lady, nov past her seth
birthday. actively managed her
469 acre farm up until about 4
years ago.
Mrs. Lipsey is the daughter of
the late William Latney Noel and
a cousin of Holmes county's only
governor, Edmund Favor Noel.
Talking with Mrs. Lipsey, one
gets the immediate impression
that she is a living history book,
rich with stories and antidotes
about Holmes county when it was
young. Of how her father and
uncles came to Mississippi from
Virginia ard how the family fair
ed through the desperate years fol-
lowing the Civil War. But she is
quick to tell you that the real FAM
lily historian is her niece, Miss
Elizabeth Drennon, who lives with
her sister. Mabel, on the old Dren-
o place at Franklin. It seems
that Miss Drennon not so long ago
helped to compile a history of the
Noel family for a distant cousin,
a Mrs. Weeks of Salt Lake City,
dating back about 600 years.
Born on the Noel place, which
she now owns near Franklin, on
Feb. Il ABE Lincoln's birthday,
she points OUT in 1873, Mrs. Lip
sey grew to womanhood during the
Reconstruction days following the
Civil War.
With a still keen memory, Mrs.
Lipsey can relate her childhood
in the horse and buggy days and
how she remembered the first
Model T, owned by Ed Wilburn, to
come to Holmes county.
She remembers how thrilled she
was when the Wilburn girls, Cath
leen, Martha and Edna asked her
to go riding in the newfangled
machine.
But back to the family farm.
According to the records she has,
her grandfather, Edmund F. Noel,
a prospectus farmer and states
man of Essex county, Virginia,
purchased about 1000 acres in Hol-
mes county from Saunders Taylor
located about Z miles from Lexing-
ton on the Ebenezer road, in 1885.
Being a true Virginian, the elder
Noel never moved to Mississippi,
but sent his two oldest sons, Lee
land and Edmund, Jr., to manage

he place. Later the younger son,
Mrs. Lipsey's father, who was
studying to be a doctor came to
Holmes county. He liked it SO we'll,
he never left.
Mrs. LipSey showed us some of
the correspondence between the
father and his transplanted sons
and the contents make interesting
reading. Being somewhat of a col
lector, she also showed us some
lockets and ear rings which be-
longed to her mother and which
