April is Confederate Heritage month in Mississippi and the Honor Guard of the Jones County Rosin Heels, Camp #227 Sons of Confederate Veterans, fired a volley in Honor of Major Amos McLemore, CSA, who was killed at the Deason House in Ellisville in 1863 by a deserter from the Confederate Army.

This is only one of the many Honors which will be paid to Confederate Veterans throughout Jones and the surrounding counties during the month.
