Grave marker of the infamous "Witch of Yazoo City" located in the Glenwood Cemetery in Yazoo Cit, Mississippi. The Witch of Yazoo City was made famous by author Willie Morris, a native of Yazoo City. This photo was taken during the blessing of the graves for All Souls Day - November 2012. It was a beautiful day - warm and sunny. I blessed the grave of the Witch. She brings a lot of fame and tourist to Yazoo City, and it is a great legend. Originally, the marker was on top of the stone, but it was top-heavy and fell down and cracked.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
