"They were a highly respected couple in the community," Mrs. McKelvy said in her note. "Mrs. Handy often cooked for our family and, I believe, in those early days she charged 30 cents an hour which many of our friends thought was outrageous (the charge). But oh how she could cook!"

W. T. Handy, New Orleans, a grandson, I know considerable about the Handys, as do many other Atchison old timers. I am sending a copy of this letter to the Rev. Handy. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel Handy</a>'s name frequently appeared in The Globe. I knew him personally. His name always appeared as 'The Hon. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel Handy</a>, former member of the Mississippi State Legislature,' when published in The Globe, and he would be quoted quite often. His wife was Kate Handy, and a well-known cateress in the community. My wife's folks, the C. D. Walkers frequently employed her. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel</a>'s step-son, William Matthews worked for many years for Montgomery Ward when it was located at 726 Commercial and, when I last knew of him, lived at 1201 North Seventh street, the former Handy home."

Text Any textual data included in the document ...in the mail from W. T. Handy, sr., 4735 Annette street, New Orleans, La. 70122: "I am a retired minister of 50 years in the United Methodist church in the Louisiana Annual Conference. I thought to write the story of my life for my children and posterity. This, of course, means that I want to go into research and find out all I can about my fore parents. A man by the name of <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel Handy</a> from Hazlehurst, Miss., Copiah county, was a man of some status, and was a member of the Mississippi legislature in the days of Reconstruction. My father, Emanuel Handy II told his children that his father was run out of Hazlehurst around about that time for he earned for himself the title of being a 'trouble maker' or a 'rabble rouser.' He was supposed to have been quite a speaker, and influenced people greatly. During the years 1873-1879, there was quite an exodus from Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. It is said some 80,000 Negroes left these parts for Kansas. My father told me he (<a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel</a> I) migrated to Atchison where he lived until death. Someone said he was known as 'Honorable <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel Handy</a>.' None of his 11 grandchildren ever saw him. I wonder if possibly someone in Atchison may ever heard of him or if there was ever anything in the newspapers there about him? He was a property owner and a taxpayer in your city." Anyone around who ever heard of that <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/emanuel-handy--copiah-county-">Emanuel Handy</a> and could shed some light on this request?
