Resolutions of respect and loving memory of Mrs. M. J. Harrison.  She was born Sept. 10, 1856.  She united with the Baptist Church of Mt. Sinai Aug. 1878.  She was married to J. G. Harrison Sept. 1890.  To this union was born one child.  Whereas on April 3, 1919 it pleased our Heavenly Father to take from her only child, her step children, our community and church our beloved sister in Christ Mrs. M. J. Harrison.  Be it resolved first That by her untimely departure Neshoba Baptist Church sustains an irreparable loss.  She was a faithful member of this church always ready and willing to do her part in every thing.  Second.  That we extend to the bereaved family our strongest assurance that they are not alone in their sorrow but that we too both as a Church and neighbors and friends, daily mourn the departure of their loved one and our friend reminding them also that while in a way we suffer loss there is happy side that is that their home and our church has a direct representative in Heaven now.  Resolved finally that a copy of these resolutions be placed on the record of our church, a copy be sent to the Baptist Record for publication and one to the bereaved family.  Done by the order of the Baptist Church in conference April 27, 1919.  Signed Committee: Lettie Lewis, Lottie Crenshaw, Willie Gully, Mattie Vance.
