Missionaries came from afar to establishes churches. Today Rodney is history. Once destined to be great, even its cemetery today is abandoned , over grown with high weeds. A ghost town in reality. One dirt road in with not exit. The buildings are all gone, except for an abandon church. Rodney seems to have been cursed with a fire, a rail road that went somewhere else, and a TRICKLING MISSISSIPPI RIVER. Rodney sits today 3 miles from the banks of the great Mississippi, a river that gradually CHANNGED ITS COURSE and Rodney began to die! Because of its location, on the great Mississippi, Rodney came within 3 votes in the legislature of BECOMING THE STATE CAPITAL of Mississippi.
