January 1919
Miss Ala Thomas was born Apr. 12th 1887, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Thomas. She joined the Baptist Church early in life. She was
married to Mr. B. H. Walton April 11, 1907 being 20 years of age. Unto
this union were born five children all of whom are still living to mourn with
their father her untimely death. On Oct. 17th it pleased our Heavenly
Father to take from our community and church our beloved sister in Christ.
Be it resolved first that by her untimely departation the Neshoba Baptist Church
sustains an ineparable loss. Second that we desire to express our deepest
and fullest appreciation of her pure and faithful Christian character.
Third, that we extend to the bereaved family our strongest assurance that they
are not alone in their sorrow, but that we too, mourn the departure of their
loved one. Fourth that we have in humble submission rejoining in the fact
that God has a jewel to adorn his own home. Signed: Mrs. J. L.
Viverett, Mrs. H. A. McCraw, Mrs. Fleta Smith, Mrs. M. J. Harrison.
Lillian Alie Thomas was the
wife of Benjamin Harrison Walton.
