Terza, Panola County: A Methodist Church, a Rural Post Office, and the Lester Family

Appalachian Community Histories – Terza, Panola County: A Methodist Church, a Rural Post Office, and the Lester Family. Along Terza Road in Panola County, Mississippi, between the communities of Batesville and Sardis, lies a rural settlement whose history can easily be overlooked.

Nevertheless, the community’s name appears in nineteenth-century postal records, early Mississippi historical publications, Methodist church histories, and cemetery records that reveal a settlement with roots extending back to the antebellum period.

In the southern portion of Panola County, Mississippi, the small community of Pope developed beside a railroad that helped transform the surrounding countryside during the nineteenth century.

Although Pope never grew into a large commercial center, its history provides an important example of how transportation, agriculture, religion, education, and community organizations shaped the development of rural towns throughout the region.
