WOW! These are the first photos I’ve ever seen of my birthplace of Rochelle. Thanks for posting them.
I was born and raised at Rochelle. Any more old pictures would be great.
I lived at Rochelle from 1927 to 1945.
I was born in Rochelle in 1930. My father, Wim Tooke, worked as a bookkeeper/accountant in the general office there. We moved to Jena in about 1939 or 1940. When we lived in Rochelle, I was very sickly including malaria, infantigo (spelling?), and most of the childhood diseases. One illness which caused frequent stomach aches (always treated by Dr. Scott with the words, “Give him a dose of Castor Oil.”) Once when Dr. Scott was not available/out of town or something, I was taken to a doctor in Georgetown who found that I had an “enlarged liver” for which I was treated with a regimen of about five different capsules and one liquid medicine each day. I also remember several times when I was treated for malaria with quinine capsules, etc.
I remember during the time of one of my illnesses (measles and rhumatism(spelling?)) was when the army was having maneuvers in LA. I could see the highway from my bedroom and I would lay in bed and count the trucks in a convoy as they passed by.
We moved to Jena and then to Shreveport in about 1940. After a bout with Acute Anemia for which the doctor prescribed a “rest cure” with lots of liver (ack!) and hot fudge sundaes (yum!) I was allowed to return to school after missing most of one semester of school in the seventh grade. The doctor had said that I couldn’t go back to school until I weighed 115 pounds. I got to 117 pounds and re-entered school finishing elementary school in Shreveport in 1943.
I have lots of memories of Rochelle and friends (personal and family) there.
Joe, I have some photos of the old highway bridge at Rochelle on my Georgetown -Tullos Images blog.

One of them is a shot taken a few years ago facing downstream toward the “new” 165 bridge.
(note: My blog includes a couple articles Jack Willis sent me that he wrote about your B-I-L’s.)
Please feel free to use, abuse, or lose anything I’ve posted. I’ve taken the liberty of putting a link to this site on both my “images” and “writing” blog.
I found a photo of Rochelle’s Steaming
Pressing shop. There is a picture of a black man in the photo who looks like my father Loucious McMillon who died in 1978.
If any has know of the people in this photo, please email me at loretthowell@yahoo.com
Does anyone know or remember any Leckies that lived and worked in Rochelle??? ericdmiller71@me.com
I tried to email Loretta Lillard about the photo of the steam pressing shop. Unfortunately, the email bounced. I have the same photo and my grandfather is in it. If she reads this page, perhaps she will post a response and we can get in touch.
Thanks,
Jayme
