Missouri Henry, also known by Randy Bragg as Mizzoo, was the houskeeper for Randy Bragg and the McGovern's. Missouri was also the neighbor of Randy Bragg. Missouri was always well treated by Randy, but not always so well treated by Mrs. Lavinia McGovern, Lib McGovern's mother.
Missouri was a big part of Randy Bragg's life. Even though the Henry's were an African American family, Randy considered them family because they grew up together. However, after The Day, Missouri played just as big of a role as most other women in Fort Repose, which was cooking, cleaning, and sowing.
