"J. G. HOUSTON"
J. G. HOUSTON, who departed this life Jan. 7, 1944 was born January 7, 1865 and
lived his entire life in and around Neshoba Community. This church feels,
in the going of Brother HOUSTON, the loss of a loayl member and the community a
sympathetic friend. He joined CRENSHAW (now Neshoba) Baptist Church at the
age of 26, being faithful in attendance and activities of his church until the
last 5 years, when his health prohibited his active service. Bro. HOUSTON
leaves his wife, Mrs. Mollie GULLY HOUSTON, two girls
and five boys to mourn his going. On son, J. G. HOUSTON, Jr. is now
serving his country somewhere in Europe. We of this church and community
share their feelings of a great loss in the departure of this sympathetic
servant of needy mankind. Therefore be it resolved that this statement of
mutual respect and christian esteem be expressed for a life given to unselfish
service for Christ and others. Be it further resolved that a copy of this
resolution be sent to the Baptist Record and the Neshoba Democrat.
