Parade of Parks Kickoff Rescheduled Due to Rain

Louis Fry, a prominent Natchez businessman with a philanthropic spirit, lived from 1881 to 1938. His grandson, Walter Davis, and his wife, Leah, will be present. “At the time, my grandfather owned much of the property along Wall Street,” recalls Davis. “In 1932, he donated this block to the city so all children would have a place to play.”
