• Notes

  Ernest Stapp is described as man of dark curly hair that was usually covered by a straw hat, dark complection, and blue eyes. He stood about 6 feet tall and had a slim figure. Throughout his life, Ernest had a speech impediment, in which he stuttered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the April 1946 Term of Chancery Court, First District, Yalobusha County, Ernest put in for divorce from wife Robbie. In court, Robbie then pressed for a cross bill against Ernest for failure of support and in doing so, requested alimony pendente lite, alimony permanent , and solicitors fees. On 15 October, 1949, V. D. Rowe, Chancellor of First District, Yalobusha found Ernest "in contempt of court on having failed to show for such comtempt; it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the said Ernest Stapp be committed to the court jail of Yalobusha County, Mississippi to there be confined and held until he will lose purgered himself of such comtempt of court." Source: Chancery Court Docket Case #4044, First District, Yalobusha County, Mississippi It is believed that Ernest was not detained in the Yalobusha County jail, but rather that he and wife Robbie made amends and alimony was dropped.
