    Notes:

    Hi Michael, I was doing some looking for information on Rod Brasfield on the internet and came across your sight. Rod is from my hometown of Smithville, MS. Smithville is a tiny town of near 1000, and is located in NE Mississippi about 35 miles southeast of Tupelo, MS. I'm not sure about this, but I believe Rod was buried at Pearce Chapel Baptist Church Cemetery. I went to school with a Renee Brasfield, but never knew any of her family. A guy named Monty Brasfield was several years older than me, and from what I was told, Rod and his brother had a double first cousin who ran Brasfield Hardware store until a number of years ago when he passed away. I wish I could find more about Rod on the internet, as he is obviously our most famous citizen of a very small town. The town had a "Rod Brasfield Festival" for a few years, but dropped it. I guess they could not financially make it work. It included lots of singers, and I believe Minnie Pearl even came one year. Amory is very near and have a very large "Railroad Festival" that is in the top ten of tourist attractions nationally each year. Amory is a city of about 7,000, and they pack near 100,000 in for about four days each year in April. From what I heard, it overshadowed the "Rod Brasfield Festival" so greatly that the decision was made to drop it. I know this doesn't help much, but at least it lets you know that someone out in the electronic land has a great appreciation for one of your relatives.
