Mr. Alfords family represent a historical span of time here in Caldwell Parish. The Mecom Family was one of the founding families here in the Columbia and Caldwell Parish area. His father was a pharmacist and owned and operated Alford Drug where local residents frequented the soda fountain. His father also served as state representative for Caldwell Parish. His mother was the first female mayor in the State of Louisiana having served as the mayor of Columbia, and was a Graduate of Columbia High School and she herself became a teacher who was loved and respected by all. Mickey grew up in a family that served their community and so in turn he tried to help those around him.
Left to cherish his memory are three dear friends who chose to help Mickey in his latter years as he was preceded in death by his beloved wife Willie Frances Gibson Alford.
His friends: Melissa Anne Johnston of West Monroe, Richard Burdette of West Monroe and Terri Wood of West Monroe.
