April 1919
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.
