the sun herald july 27 2014 p f6 this flashback story reflects a time when a man s honor and integrity were considered his most precious assets and it was more or less expected that he protect those assets in a certain way the story involves a newspaper controversy between the biloxi herald founded in 1884 and a shortlived newspaper called the biloxi review the controversy ended in manslaughter the weekly biloxi review made its debut on aug 1 1896 under the editorship of hf evans from the beginning the review practiced what was called cutthroat competition by launching attacks against the herald and biloxi s board of aldermen the aldermen filed a libel lawsuit against the review in september 1896 and won the review replaced evans with joules soule who continued evans same policies in october 1896 capt jh miller pictured here in 1902 of the tupelo journal became the biloxi herald s new editor miller had a reputation throughout the state as a man of great integrity about then the herald s owner gw wilkes borrowed 500 from the bank of biloxi for new office equipment he offered his own property and the signatures of seafood pioneers l lopez and whk dukate as securities this opened a floodgate of insinuations by soule of financial wrongdoing against the biloxi herald and particularly upon miller his defamation and scurrilous attacks on miller was such that the gulf coast progress newspaper of bay st louis stated that no honorable or brave man could wear the stigma of soule s denunciation and hold his head up among gentlemen review issues teemed with vicious attacks on miller finally miller avenged himself by firing a mortal shot at soule in downtown biloxi on dec 3 1896 during his september 1897 trial for manslaughter witnesses from along the coast and throughout the state including a judge from the state capital appeared in miller s favor the jury was out for only 5 minutes the verdict not guilty read more here  http wwwsunheraldcom 201407265715719

known to the history of biloxi occurred sometime during the day yesterday and it had the effect when discovered of stirring each and every one of our citizens up to a state of frenzy its nature character and surroundings was just such as to do this and no one individually or collectively would be expected to contain or restrain themselves under the circumstances a bright beautiful pure young girl with all alluring before her in life ruthlessly cut down by the hand of a fiend who sought and did destroy more than life itself and her poor tender body left in the woods to be discovered by her family and friends tells a tale that is hard to believe but which is nevertheless true and overwhelming the victim of the fearful outrage was little christina winterstein a lovely young girl about thirteen years of age who was a pupil of the public school she came into the city yesterday morning to attend the practices for the closing exercises she left the city about 12 o clock on her way home and the last seen of her was when she left her brother s house about 1230 when not returning about 2 o clock her people became uneasy about her and instituted inquiry they came to mr collins house looking for her having found her hat in the road coming down mr collins then started out to find the girl and after a brief search he found blood in the road which gave him and young charley foretich who accompanined him a clue to follow and they found the body of the child about a hundred yards from the road and about midway from where she was last seen and from her home there was evidences of a struggle on the side of the road near where the fiend first attacked the little victim and there was blood from there to where her body was found her remains were found at 5 pm there were marks on her face where she had apparantly struck with a man s fist another mark on her breast and the top of her head bore the mark of a blunt instrument of some sort her scalp being laid open and her skull fractured the shock she sustained from the last injury would have been sufficient under the circumstances to have caused death dr e r bragg was summoned as soon as the child s remains were found and after a close examination he declared that she had been outraged after death had come to her relief the authorities were promptly notified and a preliminary examption began but the investigation will not be completed before some time today in the meantime the tender remains of the girl were turned over to her family to be prepared for burial   from the biloxi daily herald june 3 1900 p 1  reward

special event occurred in the life of antoine bellande it concerned a ship mutiny ernest desporte jr told me this tale when i was a teenager ernest desporte jr 18881977 was a native of biloxi and lifelong resident he had a remarkable memory and enjoyed telling stories of biloxi s early history he also was a writer of local history and genealogy sometimes using the nom de plume old timer when i met mr desporte about 1960 he was an elderly septuagenarian gentleman and of keen wit his father ernest desporte sr 18531931 had been a bar pilot and harbor master at ship island at the turn of the twentieth century captains bellande and desporte served together as fellow pilots guiding blue water barks brigs schooners and steamers across the ship island bar to safe anchorage at ship island harbor after 1902 they would sail these large vessels seeking mississippi longleaf pine for the world export market into the new harbor at gulfport the result of my meeting with ernest desporte was new knowledge about the life of antoine bellande the most intriguing information was the reference to a mutiny desporte wrote the following for me  when gulfport became a port about 1898 captain bellande was one of the pilots piloting vessels through the gulfport channel into the harbor at gulfport on one occasion he piloted a vessel from gulfport harbor to the open gulf of mexico this vessel was bound for england but the crew mutinied on the high seas the crew was captured and tried in england as captain bellande was the last man to see the captain and crew he was a witness in the trial of the crew in the royal court of england  without a date for the alleged mutiny i was never able to corroborate the tale of captain desporte in the fall of 1989 i was in the history and genealogy section of the biloxi public library waiting to talk to murella powell archivist and historian she was on the telephone and i heard her speak to someone of the mutiny at ship island immediately i thought of the account of desporte when she became available i related my story and she shared her very interesting knowledge of the subject she had been contacted by a canadian novelist bruce wishart who was writing a book about an episode in maritime history known as the veronica mutiny since the event commenced at ship island he needed background data on the mississippi gulf coast to write his novel murella was doing basic research for him especially concerning ship island i contacted bruce wishart at his residence in brandon manitoba from him i learned the details of the mutiny and with my knowledge of captain bellande incorporated these facts into my rendering of the story with this background knowledge i now present the reader the veronica mutiny at a time when most men his age had long retired or passed on captain antoine bellande and inspector duckworth of scotland yard england were boarding an l n train on april 15 1903 at biloxi their destination was liverpool england via new york where they would board the steamer irenia the catalyst for this adventure had been the threemasted barque veronica out of st john new brunswick the veronica had sailed into gulf waters south of ship island in august of 1902 captain bellande had come to mississippi from marseille france in 1851 at the age of twentytwo years his family in france had been caulkers in a local shipyard and the ways of the sea were natural to this young french immigrant he had learned well the waters of the gulf of mexico while navigating his trading schooner the  john randolph  to cuba for sugar and tobacco occasionally he would transport longleaf pine to galveston and new orleans his maritime lore was so widely acclaimed that during the civil war admiral david farragut utilized his services for the union navy his civil war records indicate he was an acting ensign and pilot one of only two in the entire navy antoine bellande served the union well he was the pilot aboard the  uss monongahela  at the battle of mobile bay in august 1864 when it valiantly rammed the  css tennessee  after the war bellande settled at back bay d iberville and began a family with marie harvey 18401894 they moved to 254 reynoir street about 1882 the year he became a ship island bar pilot  veronica trial at liverpool assizes liverpool england may 12 1903  lr  inspector duckworth moses thomas antoine v bellande and sgt ford  as captain bellande rode the pilot boat out to meet the incoming  veronica  south of the ship island bar that late summer day in 1902 i can only speculate on his state of mind in 1894 his wife had died at biloxi he married an ocean springs lady mary catchot 18601931 in 1896 she was the daughter of antonio catchot 18261885 a spanish immigrant from the balearic island of menorca and elizabeth hoffen 18381916 a german immigrant from bremen antoine and mary catchot bellande resided on jackson avenue in ocean springs across from the st alphonsus church where a son edward antoine 18971976 was born in 1897 to the newly weds he was sixtyseven years of age and she thirtyseven at the time of edward s delivery when captain bellande boarded the  veronica  he met captain alexander shaw the master of the 1167 ton vessel which was loaded during september with mississippi lumber for montevideo uruguay the heavily laden vessel waited for a high tide and was towed across the ship island bar on october 11 1902 into the waters of the gulf of mexico while at sea the four german crewmen of the veronica became upset with their anglosaxon shipmates while off the northeast coast of brazil they murdered captain shaw and the crew and set the ship afire in december 1902 the mutineers landed on the small island of tuotoia which forms a part of the bar at the mouth of the rio parnaiba in northeastern brazil they were rescued by the ss brunswick in midjanuary 1903 the german seamen made a fatal mistake by bringing the ship s cook moses thomas a negro with them on the way to england thomas related the tale of horror aboard the veronica to captain browne after the brunswick reached liverpool in late january three of the alleged murderers were incarcerated until the trial which commenced on may 12 1903 at the liverpool assizes the fourth seaman a youth was given mercy since antoine bellande was the last person to see the crew of the veronica alive at ship island he was called to testify at the trial in liverpool before his departure for england with inspector duckworth who had been sent to biloxi by scotland yard to investigate the local scene an article of interest was printed in  the biloxi daily herald  on april 15 1903  the sailor boys are very anxious concerning the visit of pilot antoine bellande to liverpool for they say he has never served time in the french army and if the frog eaters in the old world hear of his being in europe they fear in some manner they will get possession of him and force him to mark time and carry a gun to the great loss of the sailor craft of these waters it is said that john brasellman of dejean mitchell s and john lyons boarding officer at ship island will also be induced to go to england on the same errand  the sworn testimony of captain antoine bellande taken from  the trial of gustav rau otto monsson and willem smith the veronica trial  by professor gw keeton and john cameron went as follows  antoine bellande sworn examined by mr fe smith   i am a port pilot at ship island and biloxi and i live at ocean springs four miles from biloxi i believe the veronica arrived at ship island in ballast last august

first or second mates names i knew the men well but not their names  tell me whether either or any or none of these men in the dock were on board then  the middle one monsson was on board when i was in quarantine i don t know the others i noticed nothing in particular going on on board the vessel when i was there captain shaw could not hear very well he was a little deaf  do you remember going on board the  veronica  to take her out  yes that was in october at that time her crew consisted of twelve all toldthere was captain shaw the first mate and the second mate i cannot remember the names of the other members of the crew as there were so many vessels going about there was a man named moses thomashe was the cook  will you look at that paper and tell us whether you saw any of those signatures made  yes monsson i saw thomas the cook signing the captain of the tugboat was with me and captain shaw  on what sort of terms seemed the officers to be with the crew  they seemed to be all very well all satisfied i never heard anything   crossexamined by mr maxwell for rau  your only duty on board was to take the ship out to sea  yes  you had nothing to do with the crew yourself  no only when i wanted to get underway  out of all those names you only saw thomas the cook sign  he signed yes  crossexamined by mr aggs for smith you brought the  veronica  in when she came in ballast  yes  do you remember this man monsson on board  yes  do you remember anybody else do you remember rau being on board  yes  when she came in who were chief officer and second officer  mr shaw was the captain the first mate was a young man  what i want to know is was the same first mate and second mate that went out in her as came in with her when she came in with ballast  yes  you cannot tell me the name of the first mate but you say he was a young man what was his heighttall or short  he was a young man with a moustache about the same height as merather short i think  can you tell me anything about the course the veronica would take in order to get to monte video leaving ship islandwould she go due east  about ese  how far east would she go before she turned down south  she would have to go to the strait of florida  would she have to go farther east after she went through the strait  she would go through the strait and keep east  can you tell whereabouts that part of the ocean called the doldrums is  no  can you tell whether vessels get into a part of the ocean where there are contrary winds and calms sometimes  it happens at sea that there are calms and so on  is there a part of the ocean in which they are more frequent than other parts  i do not know  what is the time of a voyage from ship island to monte video  between 60 and 70 days  did you not say when you gave your evidence before that the length of the voyage for a sailing ship is from 43 to 80 days  from monte video yes it is longer from ship island to monte video  you would agree that it would not as a rule take more than 70 days  from 60 to 70 days although with a fair wind it might be shorter  you spoke also as to the provisions which were taken on board this boat do you know anything about that  not very well they took provisions but i cannot say how much  can you tell me would a captain as a rule take about 60 or 70 days provisions with him for this voyage  generally it is a rule to take double the provisions to come back with  would he not be able to get fresh provisions at monte video  he would get meat and flour but would buy nothing else because it is too dear   reexamined by mr fe smith did you notice while you were on board the vessel what the name of the firm was that was supplying the provisions for the  veronica   yes the dejean mitchell company they are a good firm  have you made the voyage from ship island to monte video if i gave you this chart chart shown to witness could you mark out the course in pencil a sailing vessel would take to go from ship island to monte video  no i could not do it  the veronica trial ended on may 14th 1903 guilty was the verdict rendered by the jury against all three defendants two were hanged at walton gaol outside of

canning company were drowned   in 1895 charles dyer who wrote  along the gulf  1895 visited back bay and met with charles patten 18351922 the manager of the biloxi canning company at that time mr patten related the following    the biloxi canning company was started in 1881 and from a small beginning the plant has been gradually built up until at the present time it occupies a space of 100 feet by 500 feet running from the street to the end of the wharf where vessels land they employ during the busy season about 350 hands and their goods are shipped to all parts of this country and europe england is one of their best customers and indeed it would seem so for on the day that our party visited the cannery a shipment of 525 cases of canned shrimp was sent to a london firm this company as a matter of course cans oysters and shrimp and they also ship raw oysters away in bulk    in addition to this they have made quite a specialty of canning figs although it cannot be said that canned figs have been thoroughly introduced through the north east and west yet they are constantly in receipt of orders for this delicate table luxury for several years past the pullman palace car company have been ordering thousands of cases of figs from this company these are specially put up in small cans each containing seven figs or one portion and have met with a great sale upon the cars of the above named corporations this has also proved to be good advertisement for the biloxi canning company as they have received hundreds of individual orders for one or two cases of these goods from people who had seen them for the first time on the pullman cars   the ordinary method of putting them up however is in cans which contain twentysix ounces of fruit and syrup which will sell for 25 cents per can at retail they are also put up in half cans regarding the shrimp which are put up in cans two dozen of which go to the case the biloxi canning company has made a departure in the line of packing it is a wellknown fact that if the shrimp touches the tin of the can it immediately loses its bright red color and becomes black and unsightly to obviate this the other companies use a muslin bag in which the shrimp are placed before being packed now instead of this muslin bag in which according to mr patten the shrimp are liable to get broken up slightly in filling the bag the biloxi canning company have substituted a wooden veneer lining which while it completely prevents the shrimp from touching the tin at the same time absorbs what little moisture there is in them when they are packed and renders them perfectly dry and palatable as they are intended to be when placed upon the table   all of the canned goods of this company are put up under a distinctive mark of their own called the cotton bale brand which is favorably known wherever the goods have been seen   the present officers of the company are wa gordon president charles e theobald vicepresident cf

appointed to the group to liquidate at this time joullian owned nine shares and redding five shares of the twentyfive shares outstanding in the company   in a letter to wa gordon dated july 17 1908 ec joullian expressed his feelings about the cannery      i have repeatedly requested mr redding to take charge of the plant but was unable to induce him to do so the charter of the biloxi canning company has expired and there does not seem to do anything else but place the company s business in liquidation and sell all the assets for the best price to be obtained on behalf of those concerned as their interest may appear i have no desire to give my time to the operation of the plant and i have no desire to continue my interest in the same therefore i see no reason for renewing the charter my experience with oyster canning factories is none can be operated profitably as a corporation and without owning necessary fleet to supply the raw material another fact is canneries on the back bay cannot now be operated in competition successfully with other canneries located to better advantage   joullian and redding wanted gordon to bid on the assets of the entire operation in august 1908

in his soul wayne rosetti sr set his life goal on fulfilling that need delving into ever changing ventures of artistic moods and styles for sixty years this drive has filled his home with rarely viewed masterpieces and set the stage for his firstever commercial venture the world of loop people  wayne lynn jacob rosetti was born in biloxi mississippi on january 23 1937 and raised on point cadet his parents george rosetti 19091981 and edna mary melvin rosetti 19141979 partowners of a restaurant named rosetti poor boys at the ocean springs bridge like many children of that era he helped out at the restaurant during his teenage years until graduation from biloxi high school in 1954 as a 15year old biloxi teen wayne commenced weight training and has continued such his entire life with very little down time he was a pioneer at biloxi in body building with homemade weights he is proud that his weight training produced amazing results from protein and milk with no supplements or steroids pictures of a young wayne rosetti are included  a more mature wayne  wayne matriculated to the university of southern mississippi in hattiesburg that fall but his college career was cut short by a chance encounter in his fourth month a friend reported he was getting ready to join the army wayne decided to drop out of school to serve his country too and by the way take advantage of the gi bill tuition benefits on his return after obtaining his parents permission he launched a threeyear army stint army life provided sufficient down time for wayne to engage in his favorite activity reading his diverse interests ran to both fiction and nonfiction especially history near the end of his stent he went into town on leave and saw the movie lust for life with kirk douglas this show about the life of vincent van gough included a scene with van gough s brother theo an art dealer vincent couldn t sell many of his paintings so they accumulated at his brother s apartment presenting a habitation loaded with paintings the scene touched something inside wayne and at that moment he decided he wanted to be a painter prior to that inspiration he d never had that feeling nor had there been a painter in the family while in town he bought a sketchbook pencils and a paperback book with an introduction to art whose first rule stated sketch everything he took that to heart his first sketches were of his combat boots and towel on his bunk the results pleased him enough that he soon graduated to cardboard canvas and an inexpensive oil painting set at the time he was stationed in texas and upon attending a bullfight went back to the base and painted his first large piece the fight and found himself gratified with his results discharged from service in 1957 he returned home searching for a job that would give him time to paint his uncle owned a wholesale plumbing and electric supply on howard ave and suggested he go into the family trade with credit given by his uncle he rented a small building on 25th ave and hung a homemade sign in two years he was doing so well he moved his business rosetti supply co into a larger space on 28th st once the business was established he found he had spare time to devote to his art in december 1964 he married his one and only helen bates from the very beginning she had a strong influence on his art wayne consulting her on such things as color choices their marriage has survived happily to this day with two grown successful offspring in the late 1960s he discovered an art shop in edgewater mall that sold him clay for sculpting similar to his painting he decided he would pursue his sculpture without any formal training my first one a frog came out so well i wanted to do more wayne recalled next i created a seal just from memory  lion in gold he found he could rely on the pictures in his mind for both his sculpture and his painting even for complex scenes such as running water one of his earliest animals painted from memory is his lion in gold   in the late sixties wayne developed new ideas about how to approach his art beginning with research into the masters and their techniques this was a compromise he made based on his decision not to go to formal training his concern being possible contamination of his ideas from the standard education he said i wanted all my art to come from within another decision he made around this time was to continue to change his media and his subjects he reports having read that most artists become known for one particular type of art and especially if that form becomes popular nine out of ten of those artists won t deviate from the style that s responsible for their income  horse and boy consequently wayne focused on constant experimentation i would not limit myself to any type of material he said i d even use iodine shoe polish anything to make it expansive if i developed new techniques i would emulate it with another one i progressed from lion in gold to horse and boy  same background palette and technique i d do a series of that work implementing extensions in color and subject matter he said he wouldn t implement a new technique until he felt he d exhausted all aspects of the current one wayne s subjects varied depending on his mood commonly a historical theme or something from nature such as an animal he was striving for an art with a universal perspective topics resistant to dating as he matured he concentrated on what leonardo da vinci described as gesture like the position of the hand or the smile of the face the details that set the theme for the rest of the painting  holy man in his holy man  he wanted to incorporate two of the essential parts of religion compassion and humility he chose a dark palate and emphasized the themes with the man s expression and posture wayne s palate tends to be consistently dark often based on burnt umber so much so that a relative described it as typical of a medievalist  the four horsemen of the apocalypse wayne remembers his first large painting commissioned by his brother who was inspired by edward hicks 1834 painting peaceable kingdom this was in the early 1960s when large canvas was difficult to come by requiring having the canvas specially made after completing the work he was so taken with the theme he created a similar one for his own home during his early career selling opportunities were rare with few local galleries and only the occasional small art show though his portfolio was beginning to grow even those opportunities he rarely explored for he felt reluctant to try to sell when you show your art work he said you show how you feel and expose your inner self later on i learned that some people will like it and some won t in my youth i thought every piece had to be a masterpiece they don t even so each one must be redeemable art in its own right like most inspired talents his production has been prolific though not necessarily continuous his usual workdays were eight hours sometimes longer he reports short bursts of creativity worn down by concentration and determination of placing the art the colors and the contrast at times he d take a leave of absence from painting feeling burnt out after a break i d be inspired by a comment or something i d seen sometimes a visual musical or literary allusion would inspire him andrew lloyd weber s phantom of the opera inspired one piece another inspiration came from the biblical reference to the the four horsemen of the apocalypse those were all those destructive forces striving to overwhelm mankind my approach was to project how man comes facetoface with those forces but with the help of nature can win the battle in the midst of all that destruction he assesses his style as a mix often merging impressionistic realistic and primitive styles in a form where they could all gel he loved experimenting with new forms working with them until they d been assimilated into his work around his home he pointed to different pieces and described their technique naive minimalist outsider art this latter is the concept of painting like somebody who has had no formal training and thus creating a unique approach to art pieces of this type have for example exaggerated heads done with a personal interpretation assemblage developed from this form i was quite taken with picasso for quite awhile klee also an influence  the ram in describing his sculptures wayne likes to base the forms on realism such as the ram  however though based on realism he liked to exaggerate the forms giving them a whimsical look providing each its own personality thus they re created not from a real life but more my interpretation of the life in my paintings i put the animals in appealing poses though they may not look like real life it might even be better than what real life can portray   figure 8   i brought that approach to my sculpture i was interested in animals and nature and how to be creative in my interpretations i studied primitive sculpture like in african art and new guinea art where exaggerated forms have real meaning to them it becomes very striking when you see them for the sculptures skeletons known as the armature he utilized everyday things such as empty cola bottles statue in green and gold  figure 9  is three parts a brick a sculptured bird and an upside down whiskey bottle wayne described his concept in regards to one of his early paintings the warrior a warrior always carried death on his shoulder that s the only way to be brave enough to go into battle i had him facing death and he was facing him with his shield up going to face death once he had the work created he took it to a hotel that was allowing local artists to hang their work for sale when he showed it to the curator she didn t believe he had painted it saying it was too good refusing to hang it wayne s work is most remarkable for almost never having been shown he just kept hanging each new piece on a blank spot on the wall until his house seemed completely filled up the one exception to that history came about serendipitously when in 1994 a repairman came by to fix wayne s old grandfather clock when the man was inside the house he was fascinated by all the paintings he had heard the owners of a new furniture store were looking for an artist to show in conjunction with their opening this resulted in his fifteen minutes of fame when dave elliot from wlox came to the home to film and interview at one point dave elliot asked what do your children think of your art my children grew up around art wayne replied so it wasn t a big thing it was just something that dad did basically they simply enjoyed it wayne took forty of his paintings to the furniture opening resulting in thousands of views brought in by the television spot and other advertisements the show lasted a month and during that period wayne sold three of his works that ended up being his only show and consequently his only sales fifty years of painting and only three sales wayne s plans to forever keep his talent private were challenged in 2010 when his soninlaw roger applewhite saw wayne s art roger was so taken he told wayne he really needed to have people see it he also suggested wayne come up with something completely new something marketable analyzing his work wayne came up with the concept of the loop he realized he d always used a loop in his art he decided to create the total facial structure with a loop executed from a low starting point looping up to do the nose the eyes and then down to do the mouth without stopping it had to be fluid and had to be accurate once completed he admired the result what he describes as great an abstract modern theme as a preparation for the loop people wayne experimented with bandaids using them to form a body on paper and adding human characteristics the object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things sometimes everyday things he explained after that work i ll never look at bandaids the same way again i framed the bandaid work and that set me on a quest to show how innovative i could develop art with this loop concept his experimentation with loops began to take off with an initial 10 ft x 20 ft creation made on four separate canvasses and now hanging in his son s home he progressed from the basic loop format to adding smaller loops to it his forms developed from simple nude humans to animals such as a baby pig and a rhino for this work he used very bright colors different than his past dark palates the concept of the loop people became to make everything in it out of loops this inspired a whole alternate universe different landscapes and unique forms soon he added scenes volleyball playing frisbee with a dog crab and pier fishing for the commercial aspect he wanted drawings with a broad appeal whimsical lighthearted and fun   figures 10 11   it s been a remarkable career for this lifelong artist from wayne rosetti s first sketches of army boots and painting of a bullfighter through scores of years learning new styles and techniques he has finally come full circle to a lighthearted modernism or should we say fullloop as his new delightful creations so well show  lagniappe seventysixyearold wayne rosetti has been painting since the age of twenty producing more than a thousand remarkable pieces this exclusive sampling of his life s work is a mustsee demonstrating his experimentation with multiple styles and media inspirations from van gogh picasso and da vinci draw attention with their fetching golden colors and demanding images religious influences with iconoclastic representations such as animal kingdom from the bible and holy man mix with africanstyle sculptures rosetti is experiencing a new wave of creative energy encouraged by his soninlaw roger applewhite wayne used found objects from applewhite s collection for new sculpture designs inspired by these new materials wayne taught himself to weld on youtube crafting yard art he repurposed old circuit boards bringing them to life as colorful characters combined scrap metal parts from ship parts into clever table top sculptures and he gave life to the loop people a modern abstract interpretation based on the concept of a single structured loop the object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things sometimes everyday things wayne explains initially representing people by adding features to single loops the work progressed to multiple loops of various sizes from simple nude humans to wild and domesticated animals including puppies pigs and even a rhino the eyecatching appeal of this work is heightened by the spectrum of imaginative themes displayed in bright contrasting colors wayne rosetti s captivating new art theme the loop people will be unveiled november 2 and 3 at the 2013 peter anderson festival in rosetti park created by roger and vicki applewhite the large tented area will feature wayne rosetti s captivating new art theme the loop people in a venue the applewhites call a muse market select artists will showcase their work in a venue of live music and a portable gallery featuring over forty years of never before seen original wayne rosetti artwork this temporary showcase is a prelude to the rosetti gallery that is expected to open in ocean springs on

states   william collins  18191895 was born in mullinautara rathcormac cork county ireland in may of 1819 he married susan cullen in liverpool england they arrived in this country through the port of new orleans in 1847 by sailing vessel which took three months to make the crossing this was the timeframe of the great potato famine of 1845 in ireland and many were looking for alternative means of survival it is believed that his passage was paid for by his good friend pat kennedy who settled in biloxi and wrote to him that the land was good for farming we believe he was born in may 1819 but there are some conflicting information concerning this date in fact there is some concern that his middle name might or might not have been dennis on the census records for 1860 1870 and 1880 he only listed his name as william collins the 1860 census record also indicated that his profession was laborer and that he can not read write the 1880 census record listed his profession as farmer the age that he gave the census taker would have make his year of birth be 1822 1821 and 1824 respectively frank collins jr visited county cork in 1982 and found that there are three distinct collins families who live in the farming community known as mullinautara which is outside the village of rathcormac he discovered this information from baptismal records in the parish church rathcormac is around 15 miles northeast of cork city rathcormac means town of cormac who was the tribal chief susan collins said that her grandmother susan collins used to correspond with someone in ireland regularly the address from letters that catherine black has would indicate that the area was west of cork near the town of macroom she said as bbest as she can remember it sounded like crackston or crockstown a map of ireland has a town by the name of crookstown a short distance from macroom we don t know if this is where susan originated from or if this is where both of them originated if william did come from west of cork ther is a possibility that we are related to ireland s greatest political figure michael collins according to patricia louise collins the oldest daughter of edward collins she tried to find out from uncle eddie where william was from uncle eddie was the oldest and spent time with william he said that william was from athune spelling ireland where he participated in the battle of atthune which patsy said was a river or creek where the irish stood the british off in a battle for seven days one of stories told to lillian rose collins william s granddaughter was that after the long voyage they landed in new orleans it took them an hour to get susan off the boat because there were blacks on the dock and she had never seen a black person before and thought they were devils she wanted to go back home to ireland william worked for a time in new orleans so that he could save the money to buy land in the handsboro area handsboro used to be between the cities of biloxi and gulfport they moved to biloxi in 1857 after living on west beach at debuys road for a few years they purchased an 80 acre tract with 484 feet frontage on pass road at debuys they started a large peach orchard from which they shipped peaches by the carload to new orleans via l n railroad unfortunately the climate changed and they were no longer able to grow fruit their home was the only dwelling between hansboro and biloxi when the citrus crops failed they replanted pecan trees i can remember going through the pecan orchard with my mother picking up pecans and filling grocery bags before paul and frank built subdivisions on the land the land extended from hansboro to where keesler field in now the family had donated the land where much of keesler is located to the city for a federal reserve park with the stipulation that if the city didn t want it it was to revert back to the family however it was taken by the government by eminent domain for the air base and as a small child lillian rose collins granddaughter of william and susan remembered going to the federal courthouse in a lawsuit protesting the government s action but they got nothing except 500 for the land lillian s favorite story was about the time william collins was getting salt from the ocean during the civil war when union soldier stopped him on the beach and told him they were confiscating the salt she used to say the hardest thing grandfather ever did was to tell those soldiers they could not have the salt because he was not a citizen of the united states but a subject of the queen of england victoria and therefore not involved in the conflict so he kept his salt at a great price to his loyalties of course the record showed he fibbed because he became a citizen in 1857 having been listed as a subject of the queen before that lillian also relayed the tale that at the time that jefferson davis hunting dogs from beauvoir would get into the fields and killed some of his cattle she said he sent notes to jefferson davis telling him to keep his dogs away from the cattle because they were killing them but davis did nothing about it the next time a calf was killed she said that william shot the dogs one thing that they always said and again repeated the summer before he died was williams hatred for the english and they always said he was drug through the streets of dublin in chains when asked why they just shrugged and said the english we don t know if he was involved in a forerunner of the ira or was just thrown off land and drug along to build roads or what and they would never

family in the united states  prepared by f walker tucei jr november 22 1999    biagio antonio tucci  18541932 immigrated to the united states in 1875 from bordeaux france he was born on december 9 1854 in trecchina italy to vincenzo tucce and serafina grisi he was their first born they had at least five other children besides biagio at least three of them including biagio came to the us the other children were joseph a came to the us in 18 catherine came to the us in 18 pipino seraphino and terichine trease this information was given to me in the mid 1960 s by my grandfather vincent joseph aloysious tucci there may have been a seventh child a daughter by the name of maria giovanna tucci see letter of john peter tucei dated august 10 1986 my grandfather did not mention maria giovanna during our visit if maria giovanna was not a daughter of vincenzo and serafina she could have been an unmarried sister of vincenzo who lived in trecchina we may never know on september 23 1999 june and i visited trechina italy which is a small and very beautiful town nestled in the hills of southern italy about 200 kilometer 125 miles south of naples to get to trecchina you take autostrade a3 interstate a3 south from naples to the first exit to maratea travel west towards maratea on highway ss 585 about 17 ½ kilometers to the exit sign for trecchina which is about half way between the autostrade and maratea once you exit ss 585 trecchina is another five kilometers interestingly i was never able to find a map that had the city of trecchina on it but it is there to give one an idea as to the size of trecchina the telephone book for the region i think that may be the county is about onehalf inch thick and each town has its separate section the city of trecchina had two pages of phone listing in the book while in trecchina we went to the municipla city hall and although we spoke no italian and they spoke almost no english we were able to communicate our desire to see the official birth record for biagio it is recorded in handwriting and is in perfect condition the book is much like a ledger maybe 12 inches wide and 18 inches long the manager of the office took the ledger off the top of a wooden book shelf and was able to locate the entry in a matter seconds we also saw the official record of the marriage of vincenzo and serafina on december 27 1851 the record of their marriage is three pages long and includes the official notices of intent to marry and is signed by all the witnesses to the marriage unfortunately we were not allowed to take a copy of these records as they informed us it is illegal to copy official records in italy we did take photos of the pages recording his birth and the marriage but the pictures aren t very good we did obtain a certified record of the birth of biagio and his parents marriage while in trecchina we also visited san michele arcangelo catholic church st michael the archangel in the town square since it is the only church in the city of trechina i presume this is where biagio was baptized and his parents were married there was no one at the church that we could talk with and we were told by the people in the city hall that the pastor dom guido barbella wouldn t be available until after 6 pm unfortunately we had to leave prior to getting the opportunity to inquire of the pastor regarding the records the church may have on the tucci family a plaque in the church has some reference to biagio we have a photo of it but aren t sure what it says i understand that the cathedral for the diocese is in maratea and it is named st biaggio s i was told by someone that biagio was named after the patron saint for the region and that may be true in light of these facts the phone book for trecchina contained no tucci s or grisi s in john peter s letter referred to above he mentions meeting an old lady that remembered the tucci s and said they had moved a number of years ago she thought they may have gone to largo negro which is east of trecchina and in the region as an aside june and i had lunch at a little restaurant on the outskirts of trecchina by the name of ristorante valle del noce di giovanna tortorella and it was very good i was told by my grandfather that biagio never returned to italy because he skipped the country owing a debt and if he had returned he would have been jailed in a letter from bless rusk dated august 3 1991 he mentions that biagio was sold into bondage by his father for five years to a man in florence to satisfy a debt of his father s the letter also said that in the second year of his servitude he ran away to bordeaux france and stayed there two or three years this all ties together to what i was told by my grandfather it also explains a couple of other pieces of information although it has long been believed that vincenzo tucci was not from trecchina this is apparently not true as the translation of the official record of is and serafina s marriage states that they were both born in trecchina if only i could have read italian i would have had the clerks in the office attempt to locate their birth records and any other information on the tucci surname that may be contained in the records in trecchina the tucci surname is rather common in the tuscany area of italy which includes florence i had suspected that vincenzo was originally from that area which would have explained why he had a debt to someone from florence but that theory no longer holds water the surname tucci is pronounced to chee in italian it is my understanding that in french the ci is pronounced as an e therefore the current pronunciation also most italians who immigrated to the us came to this country through ellis island in new york as we know biagio came in through new orleans which was the port of entry for most of the french that immigrated to the us since he was coming from france rather than italy which seems like a logical explanation these two pieces of information were obtained from domenico salomon the soninlaw of john peter during our visits with john peter s family in rome on september 11 and 18 1999 apparently solomon had spent some time talking to john peter before he became ill about the family history and genealogy as to why how and when the spelling of the surname got changed from tucci to tucei there are two different stories i was told by my grandfather and this has been confirmed by my father that when biagio entered the country the immigration authorities thought the second c as an e and that is how the immigration papers were prepared one day i hope to locate these records which should confirm if this theory is correct the other story which is from my discussions with bless rusk on august 29 1999 and domenico salomon in rome on september 11 1999 is that biagio had a sign made for his shoe shop in biloxi and the sign maker made a mistake in the spelling of the surname biagio never had it corrected and thereafter used the current spelling there are two things for sure first in the official records in trecchina his surname is spelled tucci and second anytime you encounter the spelling tucei you know that person is a descendant of biagio and is a blood relative the tombstone on biagio s grave in biloxi reads blaise tucei born december 9 1855 died january 21 1932 technically this has three errors first the name of blaise which was pronounced bless should be biagio when and why his first name was changed from biagio to blaise is also subject to speculation it is probably that this occurred while he was in france as blaise is a french derivative of biagio second the birth year of 1855 should be 1854 finally the surname of tucei should be tucci as this was never officially change to tucei to the best of my knowledge but so be it we are all tucei s biagio was never naturalized as a us citizen so there is nothing that could be learned about the spelling from that source his brother joseph who came to the us after biagio and also lived in biloxi did become a naturalized citizen may 17 1894 and for whatever reason biagio never forgave him for doing so this is according to bless rusk as mentioned before biagio came to this country through new orleans why how and when he sent to biloxi to live is not known we do know that he had a successful shoe shop on howard ave in biloxi and that he wan his brother joseph were among the 74 original investors on april 2 1896 in what is now peoples financial corp the peoples bank i have been told several stories about him one in particular may be of interest apparently in order to get leather for his shoe shop he would walk the railroad tracks from biloxi to new orleans to purchase his leather then he would take the train back to biloxi biagio married isabelle e lawrence in biloxi on january 4 1879 isabelle was born in biloxi on october 27 1857 but her family was originally from meaone spain as mentioned before biagio s sister catherine also immigrated to the us she married isabelle s brother joseph lawrence on september 20 1890 there for the descendants of biagio and catherine are double cousins the genealogy of the lawrence family has been documented by chris j lawrence jr and i have a copy of it  biagio a tucci  biagio antonio tucci was born on 9 december 1854 in trecchina italy biagio immigrated to the united states in 1875 from bordeaux france it was said that biagio was sold into bondage by his father for five years to a man in florence to satisfy a debt of his father s it was also said that in
