Original grave. Cenotaph in Memphis Memorial Park.

William Norwood Pass, 1836-c1898.
Death date and burial information uncertain. He may be buried in an unmarked grave at Odd Fellows Cemetery with many of the other Pass family.

Grenada GAZETTE, July 17, 1886, p.4, column 4:
Civil Docket.
W.N. Pass vs. M.E. Mayhew, covenant, continued.

Mary Ann Ragsdale married W. S. Pass on 27 January 1881 in Grenada County, MS.

Most Ragsdale family trees show her as marrying William N. Pass. A Pass family tree shows this as William Norwood Pass, brother of Col. Algernon Sidney Pass.

Other family trees show Molly Ragsdale's husband as William S. Pass, son of Algernon Sidney Pass. She does not appear to have married William Norwood Pass Jr.

After William S. Pass' death, his widow Molly Ragadale Pass married Judge James Carter Longstreet of Grenada in 1899.

Judge Longstreet and Molly Ragsdale had no children but adopted a younger sister and brother of her late husband William S. Pass:
Alma M. Pass 1882-1972
Lewis Norwood Pass 1888-1907

Alma M. Pass and Algernon Sidney Pass's widow, Gretel Jinkins Pass Eggleston, were both members of All Saints Episcopal Parish and very close. Miss Alma referred to Gretel Pass Eggleston as her grandmother.
