"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.
