My name is Carl Daniel,class of 54,e-mail address is CDHDaniels@aol.com like to hear from anyone from good ole Chillicothe.
Hey, Chillicothe with a new web site! And I thought they were "uptown" when they added the traffic light instead of just the stop sign. Well, the race is not always to the swift, I hear. It's good to see so many friends listed. Thanks for creating it. Marshall Messick
THIS IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OUR FRIENDS IN CHILLICOTHE. MY HOME TOWN MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO CONTINUE E-MAILING AND VISITING WITH EACH OTHER. WE ARE NOT YOUNG ANYMORE. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE PUT THIS NEW WEBSITE AND INFORMATION TOGETHER. MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS: Claudette.White@ cancer.org AND I WELCOME ANY E-MAILS
Mark: Thank you so much for this new Chillicothe web-site! I'll be looking forward to hearing about old friends on your message board. I believe I have a picture of Chillicothe after it burned. I will try to find it and add it to your pictures. My name was Bettye Britt and my mother and father were Sydelle and Tom Britt and my sister was Sharon Britt. My last name is now Lindsey and my sister's last name is Stanford. I'd like to encourage those who have old photographs to include them on the web-site. I love the old pictures of our heritage. Thank you again for this new web-site! Bettye Britt Lindsey
I have been trying to contact Boyd Green, son of Will Green, cousin to Danny Joe Dunson. The e-mail posted on this web site is not correct, can someone can help me find the correct one? Thanks so much, Carl Daniels, CDHDaniels@aol.com
Some of this sure brings back memories. Being in the Army for the past 18 years and being so far away from home (Okinawa, Japan), it's good to have a small glimpse of home every now and then. Of course, it's not the same as actually being there but it's still good to remember and hear from voices of the past. So much has changed in our hometown, but it's still home to me and no place in the world can replace the memories of growing up in Chillicothe, Tx. Mitchell Burnett, Class of 81.
Mark,you did a great job. Thank you Angel & Sue Hernandez
The class of 1952 is looking for Eugene Smith. He was only here for our 8th grade year. That was the years 47-48. We think he lived in the country and would ride a bus. If anyone remembers him or anything about him please contact Bettye (Stephens) Coleman in Chillicothe.
I am looking for a picture of the old Rogers Feed Store in Chillicothe. I would like to get a copy made for a Rogers family book I'm writing. Can anyone tell me who to ask about this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Betty Rogers Ecker bettyeck@earthlink.net

Truly enjoyed finding this site!! My name is Joy (Wolf) Priest and we lived there from 1967-1970. My mom (Mary Wolf) was a teacher at O'Dell. I have many fond memories of Chillicothe, playing with Starla Boone, Lori Meeks, Laurie Perkins, Kelly Rhue, going to elementary school (1st and 2nd grade). My teachers were Ms. Tabor (who is probably still there) and Ms. Riggins. We were babysat by Mrs. Burnett (Mike, Mark, Mitchell, and Marla) (Saw Mitchell's posting on here)and the Pecachek family (went to school with Peggy Pecachek) I remember going to church (Methodist) and going to the drugstore on the corner downtown. Bought a rolling pin for my grandma at that drugstore when I was 7 or 8 and she kept it for many years, giving it back to me Christmas 1993. Also remember Mr. and Mrs. Stone and family (Greg and Carroll Wayne) My Dad (Frank) was a "constable" for a while. Remember tornado clouds and running to the cellar at the Boone's house, being scared of a weather balloon in the sky (was told by older kids it was aliens), going to football games. Haven't been to Chillicothe since 1995 but maybe will get there again soon. Dad passed away in 1993 and brother Kirk passed away in 1995 (at age 33). Mom passed away April 2004. All three are buried in Vernon. Spent some time with Starla Boone (married to Carrol Wayne Stone at the time) in 1994. If she is still in Chilli tell her or her family hello from Joy.
Hey to Joy Priest. It's me Starla. I'm still married to CW and we live in Chilli. Love to hear from you and anyone else. Our e-mail is c_w_starla@yahoo.com . Joy, hope you check this soon. Starla

My name is David Wright I live in Huntsville, TX and I have never been to Chillicothe, but am trying to run down an old classmate of mine. His name is Jimmie Lee Moore and he supposedly died in Chillicothe 4/26/07. Can you tell me what newspaper serves Chillicothe so I can contact them to see if his obituary appeared in their paper at that time?? I’m not sure if it is the same person but the birthdate is the same.
You have a very interesting website and I can see that the residents and former residents get a lot of fun and use out of it.
Thank you,
