Family History

Can you believe the realtor put the build date for this gem as 1954? It was more likely built soon after the turn of the century. In fact, Miss Mayme Kornrumpf and Bertram E. Butler were married in this home in 1917. It was the home of the bride’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Dean C. Holmes. Dean and his wife Nellie purchased the home about 1905 free and clear with no mortgage. Dean Crawford Holmes (1872-1936) was a railroad commissioner from the Southern district of Mississippi as well as a one-time secretary-manager of the McComb Chamber of Commerce.

Dean and Nellie were married in 1898 and lived in the home with their three children Dean, Nellie Kay and Zita as well as several other relatives including Mayme who they raised as a child after her and Nellie’s mother died in 1906.

Pros

1. Very affordable housing

McComb’s housing costs are among its strongest selling points. Home prices and rents are generally well below national averages, making homeownership accessible for many residents.

2. Low overall cost of living

Utilities, groceries, and property taxes are typically lower than in many parts of the country, which can be attractive for retirees and people on fixed incomes.

3. Mild winters

Compared with northern states, winters are short and relatively mild. Snow is rare, and year-round outdoor activity is possible.

4. Small-city convenience

McComb is large enough to have hospitals, shopping centers, restaurants, and basic services while avoiding the congestion of major metropolitan areas.

5. Strategic location

Residents can reach both Jackson and New Orleans for specialized healthcare, airports, entertainment, and employment opportunities.

6. Rich history and culture

The city played a notable role in the Civil Rights Movement and retains strong Southern cultural traditions.

Cons

1. Limited job market

Employment opportunities can be limited, particularly in specialized professional fields. Healthcare, education, retail, manufacturing, and transportation are among the larger employment sectors.

2. Economic challenges

Like many small Southern cities, McComb has faced population decline, industrial changes, and periods of economic stagnation.

3. Higher crime concerns

Crime rates are often cited as a concern by residents and prospective movers. Conditions vary considerably by neighborhood, making local research especially important.
