Neshoba Baptist Church Records, p. 118: "Resolutions" On June 12, 1915 the death angel visited the house of Sister A. C. Walton and took from their midst her Mother, Sister Sallie J. Peebles. She was born May 31, 1836, being 79 years and 12 days old. She joined the New Hope Baptist Church of which Bro. Arnold was Pastor in 1885, now known as Neshoba Baptist Church, of which she lived a devoted and faithful member until death. She was married to William H. Peebles July 7, 1859 who left her to fight the battle of life alone having given his life for his country during the Civil War. To this union was born one daughter, who was left to mourn her death with a host of relatives and friends. To know Aunt Sallie was to love her. Her white hair showed the frosts of many winters with patient toil and care for her loved ones. Therefore be it resolved by Neshoba Baptist Church that in the death of Sister Peebles it has lost one of its most faithful members whom we miss so much. Resolved 2nd that she is greatly mourned by the town and community for she was a friend to all and met every one with a pleasant smile. That we extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved daughter and family who so tenderly cared for her in their home. That these resolutions be read in our records, and a copy be sent to the bereaved family and the Miss. Baptist be requested to publish same.
