Homage to Winter in Anticipation of Spring!

Excitement builds each year for us at EIC at each chance of a good snow. Driving the backroads of Izard County when the hills are blanketed in snow gives one a similar feeling as stepping out on the town with your hot-clad sweetheart!

A "similar feeling" because, unlike a night out with your beautiful soulmate, one is most likely glad when an icy rendezvous is over.

An encounter or two per year satisfies the lust for snowy drives!

Therefore, in the hope of Redbuds and Dogwoods, we pay homage to Winters past while inviting glorious Spring!

The video below is compiled of photos and video from the winters of 2007-2009.

ENJOY!

Moody Cemetery (Iuka)

The Moody Cemetery lies just outside of Iuka near the Baxter County line. I'm sorry to say...there wasn't much information about Moody Cemetery, Iuka, or those buried at Moody online. I have read some stories about late 19th Century happenings around the Iuka area, however, and will see if I can find those stories to share with our readers later. There are still a few features in the Iuka area we intend to visit.

None of us are aware of the name of the old school-building in the photos...or how old the church-building might be. We welcome your contributions and will publish any information you might want to pass on to us. Or...you are more than welcome to share the info in the comments section!

The Arnold, Killian, and Moody families are well-represented in the Moody Cemetery.
