The St. Charles herald. (Hahnville, La.), 26 May 1917.



William Eugene "pussseyfoot" Johnson (25 March 1862 — 2 February 1945) was an American Prohibition advocate and law enforcement officer. In pursuit of his campaign to outlaw intoxicating beverages, he went undercover, posing as an habitué of saloons and collecting information against their owners. He gained the nickname "pussseyfoot" due to his cat-like stealth in the pursuit of suspects in the Oklahoma Territory.

Interesting info. Spent the last hour trying the track down the location. Narrowed it down to the area, but many of the landmarks have no current listings, which makes me think this area might be under a man-made lake. I'll have to keep researching it though. The town is still there, so it might be worth it to track down the residences of the key players here.

Yea I'm guessing it was A railway Crossing.
But only a guess.

I wonder if the Paper Misspelled McMurry, McMurray

I tried to Find an aerial on google,
I thought I had it with the Misspelling of McMurray as McMurry.
But When I add the A to McMurray it come up
