Evelyn Griffith - Historian Hancock County Hiso rical Society
Dear Evelyn:
Lil Ray at the Restaurant on Hwy	90 contacted me	last	week. He asked
me to try to give him some history on	BrownsVineyard.	The	property	where his
restaurant is located was the Brown's	Vineyard property.
I	did some research on it in the	Court House and	got the legal	description
of it'i location.
I	have attached a copy of a record which was in the Sea Coast Echo, obtained from the Rare Books Room of the Hancock County Library, Bay St. Louis.
I	have re-typed the interview and have a copy which I am attaching for your records.
One copy of this record of Brown's Vineyard I have given to Ray Kidd Jr.,
(Lil Ray's Restaurant). He may use this information to develope some unused property that is at this location.
Mr	MI1
Additional information I did a tape on in an interview with jsdts/on Kay 13, 1977.
