Frank Serio was an immigrant from Sicily and came to America as a young child.  During his early adult life, he worked for the Ford Motor Company in New Roads.  In 1918 he opened Serio's Garage and in 1936 built the current business, Serio's Service Station.

Today, his son Jacko runs the business and it is open for oil changes, tire repairs and other minor car repairs.  

Doug Humphreys is from Innis, a town 5 miles from Morganza.  The building the Village One Stop is located in was originally a full service gas station and repair shop, then it was an auto parts store and last it was the Village Marketplace Antiques.  Doug runs it as a gas station, convenience store and there's a delicious cafe' in the back that serves the best fried chicken and catfish in the parish.  He also makes sure to have biscuits for the community after church on Sunday mornings.

In 1958, a bareback rider from Mowata, Louisiana, Fred Frey, married Dorthy "Dot" Vizinat from Eunice, Louisiana. Frey worked as a roughneck in the oil field until he decided to take a different direction in life. In 1959 Frey packed up his family and moved to Mississippi to take a position as a farm manager, despite knowing nothing about farming.  In 1967 property  became available in Morganza to rent, so Frey and his brother-in-law, Edwin Leonards managed the land for five years.​ Then, finally bought the land and founded F&L Planters.

​

In 1982, when Fred retired, he gave his part of the business to his sons and named it Four Oaks Farm, named after the four oak trees growing in their front yard. Today they farm sugarcane, crawfish, rice, soybeans, corn and cattle. The Freys sell crawfish to the public during crawfish season, February thru May.

The Cedar Saloon is where generations of people have played and listened to some of the best music made in America.

​

Mark is a cattle farmer and lives on the family ranch that he grew up on in Batchelor.  He is also a musician that recorded an album in Nashville in 1993.   Because he spent a lot of his childhood in Morganza with his grandparents, Morganza is a very special place to him.  He hopes to see friends, families, happy faces, entertainment, and some of the finest music (country, cajun, jitterbug and old time rock and roll) being played at the saloon. He wants the place to remind people of a simpler time.  The place also has a gaming room for people to enjoy video poker, darts, pool and other games. Bingo, free food giveaways, and cajun days are all things Mark hopes to regularly have at the saloon.
