Neshoba Community, Neshoba Co, MS
June 23, 1946: The resolutions committee as appointed at the previous
conference reported as follows: "On April 11, 1946, our hearts were deeply
greived by the passing away of one of our most devoted members, Mrs. Alice
WALTON, aged 87 years. In young womanhood she was married to Mr. Hiram
WALTON and to this union were born three children, two of whom with their
father, preceded her in death many years ago. Her remaining years were
devoted to her son and five motherless grand children with whom she made her
home. No task was to great, no feed too small for "Cousin Din Rie
??" as she was affectionately known and although her health had failed her
several years, she was a perfect example of kindness, devotion and sacrifice to
her family and friends whom she loved dearly. She is sadly missed in her
home and community where she lived as the ideal mother and neighbors. She
leaves a son, B. H. WALTON of Neshoba and four grandsons: Heber of
California, Curtis of Neshoba, Thomas H. of Atlanta and Cecil of Jackson.
We, the members of Neshoba Baptist Church pay tribute to her whose memory we
hold dear and pause to give thanks to God for her life and influence.
Resolved that these resolutions and a copy be sent to her family and to the
Baptist Record for publication. Mrs. W. J. VANCE, Mrs. Nona VIVERETTE,
Mrs. Ethie McNAIR, Miss Ora LEWIS, Committee.
(Mrs. Alice WALTON was Alice C. PEEBLES, only child of
William H. PEEBLES
(killed in the Civil War) and Sarah J. GULLY)
