New Orleans TIMES DEMOCRAT, July 22, 1900, p.18:
"Miss Alma Pass of Grenada graced our social circles with her sunny presence the past week."

Name: Alma Farnham
SSN: 427-92-1386
Last Residence: 38901 Grenada, Grenada, Mississippi, USA
BORN: 13 Jul 1882
Died: Jan 1971
State (Year) SSN issued: Mississippi (1962)
From Nina Wheeler: She and her second husband Lant C. Farnham are buried in
Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis.
Miss Alma Pass left $2 million to All Saints Episcopal Parish which used it to add a large wing onto the church and to turn the old Grenada College building into a nursing home. It was decided (by the builders/contractors) that the historical antebellum college building was "too expensive to preserve," maintain and restore, so it was demolished and a modern building of inferior architecture (and of course no history) replaced it, which would have grieved Miss Alma immensely to see her generous bequest appropriated and squandered by modern thieves and vandals as so often occurs.
