CUE STREET, Bay St. Louis, Miss.
Cue Street is re ot shown on the land records of the Bay St.
Louis city map. That's because it is NOT city property; it is county property - cut from the original tract of the court house.
Land for the court house was deeded by John B. Necaise (wife Mary) to P. Rutelius Pray for $3,000;	June	20,	1835.	The description
is unusual: neither meets and bounds,	nor,	lot	and block. It reads:
S-land confirmed to Jos. and Martial Necaise; W= public lands; N=land by John B. Lendap(?)s E= Bay of St. Louis.
F. Rutelius Pray (wife Maria L.) deeded to Hancock County as a "site for a court house", Oct. 7, 1838 that land South of Main Street between Second and Third streets, 200 Ft wide and depth of 292 feet.
Hancock County was established in 1812. In 181? the court house was built at Center, Miss, which later became Caesar. In 1837 the county seat was moved to Gainesville.	When	the court house at
Gainesville burned in 1853 the county	seat	was	moved	to Shieldborough
and a wooden court house was built in 1866. The present court house-the 4th court house for Hancock County - was built in 1910-1911.
Cue Street was cut from this piece of courthouse land. I was not able from the minutes of the Board of Supervisor's meetings to determine the exact date of its being built or named. It does not appear on the Drake map of Bay St. Louis in 1923. It does appear on the Sanborn map of August 1930.
The street was named "Cue" in honor of Emilio Joseph Cue, Jr.,
V
son of Emilio J. Cue, a native of Spain, and Ellen Favre Cue, a native of Mississippi.
When Emilio was 13 his father, a justice of peace, died. The family lived near the Gex family behind the now St. Stanislau school. Emilio grew up with the Gex boys and thus was formed a life pattern: the Gexes as lawyers and Emilio as the entrepreneur of the Gex and Cue Construction Co, the Cue Oil Company, and officers in the Merchant's Bank.
On August 26, 1927 Emilio Cue beat Joseph Mauffrey by 1 vocte to become Supervisor of Beat 5* Hancock Courtty. ,
