The story handed down through the years concerning the sad death of the infant child of F.D. and Ella Srygley is one that touches the heart, and recognizes the true heart of T.B. Larimore. When Mamie died at just a couple weeks past her first birthday, her mother was deeply distraught at her passing. For weeks after the death of the child, her mother mourned her death, not seeming to ever get relief. She suggested that she did not even have a lock of her hair. When her husband mentioned this to brother Larimore, the older brother took students out to the cemetery late one evening, and exhumed the body of the child. F.D. Srygley then clipped some of Mamie's hair, and laid it into the hands of the grieving mother. This helped soothe her deep sorrow, and brother Larimore's kindness was never forgotten
