' MRS. EULADANIEI^^
As an avid shell collector and
authority on the subject, Mrs.
. Daniel has assembled an ex
; tensive collection, which is
housed in a specially construct
; ed cabinet in her home. She
t enjoys sharing her shells by
making collections and giving
them to the local schools.
As a teacher for 22 years,
Mrs. Daniel earned a BA De
gree in Education from Uni
versity of Georgia and taught
for 16 years at Jonesboro High.
Her unselfish public service
is acclaimed by the many she
has served. Each Individual, In
turn, has been greatly blessed
by having known her and felt
the generosity which stems
from her heart.
To her church, First Baptist
of Morrow, she has given of
her strength and support to all
its endeavors and has taught
a Sunday School Class for 40
years. From 1947-1958 Mrs.
Daniel was Mission Study
chairman of the Flint River
Association of WMU; from
1950-1963 she was Stewardship
chairman of the Clayton Asso
ciation of WMU; served as
WMU president in her own
church 1958-1960.
To know Mrs. Daniel is to
gain a true insight into a per
son’s life where courage, pa
tience, cheerfulness, affection
and understanding are exempli
fied. Everyone whose life has
been touched by hers, has been
enriched because of these en
viable qualities. No one could
have summed up her life better
than did J. E. Edmonds, Clayton
County Superintendent of
Schools, who said, “we are
all proud and fortunate to be
associated with her. The con
tributions she makes to the
lives of all who know her will
ever be remembered and ap
preciated.” These lines of Ed
win Markham’s are appropri
ate: “There is a destiny that
makes us brothers none goes
his way alone; all that is sent
into the lives of others comes
back into our own.”
Every member of the Morrow
Junior Woman’s Club is proud
of their nominee, Mrs. Eula B.
Daniel, and rightly so.
