MRS. DELILAH‘PEARSON’S
BIRTHDAY DINNER.
Mrs. Delilah Pearson, the wife of
James Pearson, deceased, who gave
Coffee County fifty acres of lar.d on
which now stands the county court
house, and J.he City of Douglas was
81 years of age last Tuesday, the 25,
and her son, D. J. Pearson, who re
sides four miles south of Pearson,
gave in her honor, and in thanks to
God for giving his mother long life
and health a birthday dinner.
Invitations to the children ar.d rel
atives and friends were sent out, and
when the day came the crowd also
came with it, and in that crowd of
people were 150 of her relatives. So,
we may say it was a birthday dinner,
celebration and family reunion. Mr.
Daniel Gaskin, of this plaofe, her
brother, was among those who went
out to the reunion, and he reports a
most enjoyable occasion. A long
table, set int he yard under the trees,
groaning under the weight of all the
eatables that go to make an old fash
ioned dinner complete, was the main
subject of discussion among 250 or
300 men, women and childrens, who
did the subject full justice, but fell
back from the attack unable t» dear
the deck.
In the afternoon, when the hour
6f departure arrived, there were
many wishes for other returns of the
birthday of this grand old lady, who
can well be classed with the lady
pioneers of the county. May God ir.
His mercy and love be with her all
along the few more years c-f her jour
ney with a safe ending of life’s voy
age. The writer regrets that the of
ficial duties of his office prevented his
attendance.
