      In Memory of Bro. J.P. Crenshaw

      Bro. James Pleasant Crenshaw was born December 20th, 1872 and died Jan. 31st 1936, making him 63 years, one month and eleven days old at the time of his death. He joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Old Crenshaw, now Neshoba Church, forty or more years ago. He was a faithful and consistent member of this church until his death. He was married Nov. 22 1900 to Miss Lucy Bassett and to this union were born ten boys and two girls. Two of the boys died in early childhood. The boys now living are Earle and Noel, now living in Texas, J.P. of Smith County, Hubby, Earnest, Otho, Maurice and Rudolph of this county. The girls are Queenie, now Mrs. Johnie Miles of Neshoba and Lucile, now Mrs. Leotis Thomas. Neshoba Church never had a more faithful member and Neshoba Community never had a truer and more valuable citizen than Plez as he was to friends. Though we know that his going was to his eternal gain we as a church and community are experiencing a feeling of distinct loss. May the Savior in whose footsteps our brother and friend endeavoured to follow during his lifetime, be our guide and comforter now. Loyal and honest, brave and true. Cheerful and broad of mind. Strong for the tasks he has to do; Patient, considerate, kind. And life will hold and always will, Unto the journey's end, Such posts as there for his to fill, Brother, Neighbor, friend. The lives of many each must touch, So varied is life's Plan. We seldom realize how much it takes, just to be a man. Committee: W.J. Houston, M.S. Lewis, B.H. Walton.
