Owned and...Yeah, it's called The Tamale Place. Owned and operated by Henry Sollys' daughter. When my great-grandfather died, these other people fabricated some crazy story that Henry Sollys didn't get along with his family. The judge that was in control of his Will didn't even have the courtesy to wait till the funeral was over to deliver it to my grandmother. We were walking into the sanctuary for his service and the judge (A "Close friend" of Dean McCain) walked up to my grandmother, handed her the Will and said, "Everything was left to Maybelle Hampton and Dean McCain, I made sure of it." This "Will" even gave her the rights to his ashes...She threw his ashes off the Mississippi River Bridge. One thing he never learned to do was swim. He hated the water. When Dean's mother died a few years later, her and her siblings got into a knock-down drag out fight over the rights to Sollys'. I'm glad I'm not related to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094947070276142696.post-17942221379735344252010-03-02T21:19:02.079-08:002010-03-02T21:19:02.079-08:00Whoa.
