"In Memory"
Sister Emma CRENSHAW was born Jan. 18th 1878, and departed this life July 26,
1929. Age 51 yrs. She was married to Bro. W. A. CRENSHAW Dec. 14,
1899. To this union was born 7 children, of whom 2 preceded her to her
grave. In early life she united with White Oak Baptist Church later
Neshoba Baptist Church of which she remained a faithful member until her death.
In the homegoing of Sister Emma, Neshoba Church has lost one of its most
faithful members, we grieve beyond measure, still we do grieve as those who have
no hope. Her character was pure. Her reward is great. Blessed
be the memory of such women. We do not question why God took her from her
loved ones just at this time, but we rejoice in the fact that we trust in a God
"who doeth all things well". Sister Emma was sick a long time
and suffered things that were hard to bear still she wanted to get well that she
might live a life of unselfish service. However when the call came she was
ready to go being fully submissive to her master will. May God's richest
blessings rest in her bereaved husband and children. Respectively
submitted: Mrs. Lottie CRENSHAW, Mrs. Willie GULLY, Mrs. Esther GULLY.
Emma Waller was the wife of William Annel
Crenshaw and the daughter of Charles R. Waller and Renvey Tucker.
