HISTORY:

LAMEY FAMILY

The familial name LAMEY has been noted in archival documents as LAMILAME, LAMIE, LAMMY, LAMAIS, LANIE, and LEMME.  The progenitor of this family in America was Jacques Lamy, the son of Jacques Lamy (ca 1740-1770) and Marguerite de Rossiere.  He was born at Meaux, France east of Paris. 

Jacques Lamy came to North America in French Colonial Louisiana as a soldier.  He married Marie Helene Moreau, the daughter of Joseph Moreau and Marine Jeanne Dauphin.  Sergeant Lamy was discharged in 1763, having served in the company of Captain Trente.  He lost his life in February 1770, when the Pere de Famille sank on a voyage to France.(De Ville, 19      , p.      )

In 1761, Jacques and Marie Helene Lamy had a son, Jean Batiste Lamy (1761-1804+).  A daughter, Euphrasie Lamy, was born in November 1769.  Jean B.

After the demise of Marguerite C. Lamey ca 1844, Alexandre A. Lamey married Darthula Latimer (1827-1876), a native of Indiana, and the daughter of Elisha Latimer (1792-1860+) and Mary Jane Ewing (1792-1877).  Their children were: Edward Lamey (b. 1845), Peter Abijah Lamey (1847-1932) married Sarah H.

Lamey Ferry

The Lamey Ferry was situated very near the present day Lamey Bridge on the Tchoutacabouffa River.  It was operated by Antoine Lamey (1849-1929), the son of Alexandre A. Lamey and Darthula Latimer Lamey.  Antoine Lamey, called Anthony, married Louisa Rhodes Wells (1848-1910), the second spouse and widow of Berry Wells (1812-1876).  She was a Mississippi native born of a Kentucky father and Missouri mother.  Antoine Lamey and Louisa R.

It could have been a very sad 1913 Christmas for the settlers in the area near the Lamey Ferry

The Hosli family

The land on which the Lamey Cemetery lies once belonged to the Hosli* family who came to America from Canton Glarius Switzerland in the mid-19th Century.  Henry Hosli (1832-circa 1870) and Barbara Hosli (1833-1900+)

In July 1870, Joseph Hosli for $375 acquired 400 acres of land in Section 33, T6S-R9W from Ann and Erasmus Thompson.  This land was described as: the NW/4, SW/4, and the W/2 of the NE/4.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 13, p. 167)

In August 1899, Barbara Hosli, the sister and sole surviving heir of Joseph Hosli, gave this land to her daughter, Annie Hosli Lamey (1869-1949), the wife of Philip Edward “Dink” Lamey (1870-1953), the son of Philip Lamey and Catherine “Katie” Hudson. (HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 42, p. 81)

In his Gulf Coast Genealogy, The Santa Cruz Family, Brother Jerome Lepre states that the Abbley Family of the Mississippi Gulf Coast commenced with the emigration to the United States of the Swiss couple, Fritz (Fridolin) Abbley (1799-?) (Abli) and Margaret Husley (Hosli) (1804-1892).  He was the son of Rudolph Abli and Catherine Durst of Ennenda, Switzerland.  Margaret Husley was the daughter of Jost and Salome Oerthli of Ennetbuehls, a town very near Ennenda in Canton Glarus, western Switzerland.

The Abbleys arrived in America about 1854, and settled at Back Bay (North Biloxi).  They left their native Switzerland because it was difficult to make a living at the time in that nation.  Like every immigrant they felt that their lot would improve by coming to America.

On October 24, 1867, Casimir J. Harvey (1845-1905) married Rosina Hosli (Husley) (1852-1937) who was born May 2, 1852, at Ennenda, Canton Glarius, Switzerland.  Her parents were Jacob Hosli and Salome Abbli or Abbley (b. 1830) who immigrated to the United States circa 1856.

Hosli Road

In October 1911, Annie and Philip Lamey conveyed a strip of land to Harrison County, Mississippi to straighten Hosli Road.  This transaction was described as: beginning on the west side of the Tchoutacabouffa River near the ferry landing and leaving the Hosli Road about fifty feet from the river thence go north for a distance of about three-quarters of a mile where it will intersect said Hosli Road the width of the same from beginning to termination to be thirty feet all being in Section 33, T6S-R9W.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 97, p. 469)

Lamey’s Bridge and road improvement

Prior to 1913, there were two circuitous routes from Biloxi to Ramsay Springs.  One could either travel the Cedar Lake Road or go through Jackson County to the east.  Neither path was in a direct line to the spa.  In August 1913, the new road, which would become Mississippi Highway No. 15, from North Biloxi to Ramsay Springs, which would erase twelve miles from the present way, was under construction.  F.W. Elmer, County Supervisor, reported that road construction in Harrison County Beat One and Beat Five were progressing well with the utilization of convict labor to grade and surface the road.  Grading from Bate’s Still to Lamey’s Ferry was completed and five miles north had been surfaced.  On the southern route from Lamey’s Ferry to the Johnson Store, the stumps had been cleared and the roadbed surfaced with clay and shell.  A number of older roads were being widened and improved.(The Daily Herald, August 20, 1913, p. 1 and August 27, 1913, p. 8)

In July 1913, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors let a $6300 contract to the Austin Brothers of Atlanta, Georgia to erect a structure across the Tchoutacabouffa River to replace the Lamey Ferry.  In November 1913, board member, F.W. Elmer Sr., was appointed to oversee construction of the bridge.(HARCO, Ms. Board of Supervisors Minute Bk. 10, p. 274 and p. 391)

The steel bridge that was being erected across the Tchoutacabouffa River at Lamey’s Ferry was expected to be in operation by the first of December 1913.  Another bridge across Hurricane Creek was planned.(The Daily Herald, August 20, 1913, p. 1)

In February 1914, Annie and Philip Lamey sold another thirty-foot wide strip of their land to the people of Harrison County for improvements.  This conveyance was described as: beginning at the southwest corner of P. Lamey’s property known as Hosli Road, thence running in a southerly direction to the Tchoutacabouffa River and continuing across said river to the intersection of the aforesaid Hosli Road on the south side of the river in Section 33, T6S-R9W.  The above description is intended to cover what is known as the site of Lamey Bridge and approaches thereto.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 108, p. 47)

At its April 1914 meeting, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors accepted the completed work and paid the Austin Brothers for the Tchoutacabouffa River bridge.  Philip Lamey was appointed bridge keeper for one year and paid $30 per month for his services.(HARCO, Ms. Board of Supervisors Minute Bk. 11, p. 6 and p. 10)

1925 Land purchase

In February 1925, Annie H. Lamey acquired an additional forty acres of land, the NW/4 of the SE/4 of Section from J.H. Johnson.  The consideration was $640.  In March 1927, she and Philip Lamey sold to Marjorie Bouvier Rickey that portion of the NW/4 of the SE/4 of Section 33, T6S-R9W lying east of the Tchoutacabouffa River.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 156, p. 206 and Bk. 169, p. 370)

In September 1903, J.H. Johnson began acquiring land in Section 33, T6S-R9W, when he paid George Wells, $240 for eighty acres, the S/2 of the SE/4.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 56, p. 568)

In June 1905, J.H. Johnson bought from Percy J. Wetzel for $800, eighty acres, the N/2 of the SE/4 of Section 33, T6S-R9W.(HARCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 69, p. 567)

1952 Land donations

In September 1952, Philip Lamey began land donations to his children.  Those receiving acreage were: “Coot” L. Riggle, Dorothy D. Hebert, and William J. Lamey.

Upon Audrey Lamey’s death in July 1997, Helen L. Moore Goff, inherited the family lands in Section 33, T6S-R9W.  The Lamey Cemetery is situated upon this acreage. 

Lamey Cemetery 2002

In 2002, Helen L. Moore Goff has offered her two hundred plus acres of land for sale.  Developers have been creating subdivisions in this area for years and her land is valuable because of its desirable location on the Tchoutacabouffa River and its propinquity to Biloxi.  In June 2002, she and the family decided to enlarge the Lamey Cemetery from its present area to a larger outline.  Stakes have been set and the land will be surveyed soon.

According to Annie Hosli Lamey, several infants of Ira Clifford Hosli (1907-1932) and Ruby Davis Hosli were interred in the Lamey Cemetery.  Ira Hosli was the son of Joseph Hosli (1865-1946) and Mary Virginia Krohn (1867-1952).  He married Ruby Davis of Lumberton, Mississippi in 1927.  They had a son who was born in 1929.  Ira Hosli was murdered on April 5, 1932 by Floyd E. Davis (1913-1996?), his brother-in-law.  Davis was exonerated for this crime because Hosli had been beating his wife with an iron rod, and the grand jury ruled that it was a justifiable homicide.  In November 1930, Ira Hosli had killed Lydia Albert (1925-1932), the daughter of Oscar Albert (1877-1938) and Eva Richard, when his truck hit her while playing on the steps of her house at one of the seafood workers’ camps on Back Bay.  He was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the tragic accident.  Hosli’s corporal remains were interred in the Bellande Cemetery at Ocean Springs.  His parents and a brother, Louis Wilmer Hosli (1905-1941), are also buried here.(The Daily Herald, April 6, 1932, p. 1 and April 8, 1932, p. 2)
