OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI
Carolyn Elliott Carter >>> Last night, the Mayor and Alderman declared September 30, 2017 as “Lake McLarty Elliott Day” in honor of my mother’s 105th birthday. It was even more special that Alderman John Morgan, her great-nephew, read the resolution to a packed house at the meeting.
