- INMEMORIAM
To the memory of a gracious and lovely lady, these words are penned:
Pearl Langston Frances, born, born July 05, 1903, to Guy Bowen andZuela Williams Langson at Watson, Mississippi, died October 04, 1944, atTupelo, Mississippi. A talented and accomplished musician, both violinand piano, she was always willing to play and unselfishly gave of hertime and strength to bring pleasure to her family and friends.
She was born, reared and died in Mississippi with the exception of afew years in Memphis, Tenn.,
and Nazareth, Ky., where she received her education. Her life was spentin this state. In 1928 she was married to Walker Frances of Tupelo andSaltillo. Theirs was a happy union.
One of her most admirable characteristics was tolerance. She nevercensured or blamed people for their shortcomings, but ever sought excusesfor them. She was a dutiful and loving daughter, sister,
and a devoted wife.
As one who has been closely associated with her since childhood, I cansay with marked assurance, that not only was her name Pearl, she was ajewel among women. The tribute of her many friends in Tupelo where sheresided in recent years, the beautiful floral offerings, and otherkindnesses and interests shown during her last illness and death, speakmore eloquently than I am capable of portraying.
She was a member of the Methodist Church. She did not have to talk herreligion, she lived it.
As the fragrance of flowers linger in a room long after the bouquet hasfaded, so we who knew Pearl will find life's pathway beautiful bymemories that will ever linger, making the road through life morepleasant because she passed this way.
To her sorrowing husband, parents, brothers and sisters. I extend mylove and sympathy. Our loss is heaven's gain. Help us O Lord to say "ThyWill Be Done."
CHRISTINE DICKINSON.
