MRS. G. W. RED DIES IN HOME OF HER DAUGHTER
Mrs. G. W. Red, who had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. D. R. Holiday, of Newton, for the last several years died at age eighty-four.
Mrs. Sarah Stamper Red was born in Georgia, November 11, 1845, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joel Stamper. When only ten years of age she moved to the Stamper community northwest of Decatur, Newton county, Mississippi.
When only a young woman she was married to G. W. Red and the young couple settled and built them a home at what is now Red's Crossing three miles north of Decatur where they ever afterwards resided until a few years ago when the infirmaties of age necessitated their breaking up the old home.
Mrs. Red was a member of one of those sturdy, pioneer substantial families of the county whose word was their bond, always known for their straightforwardness of purpose and uprightness of character. Truly they were "The Salt of the Earth." There are only a few of these older people scattered over the county now, and those of us who are younger owe them more than we sometimes realize for the true "trails" that they blazed in those former days.
She is survived by three daughters: Mrs. D. R. Holiday, Newton; Mrs. Sidney Pennington, Crystal Springs ; Mrs. H. E. Germany, New Mexico; four sons: Charles Red, Union; Walter Red, Lucedale; Edd Red, Conehatta; Theo Red, Decatur. She is also survived by two brothers: Rev. Tom. J. Stamper, Stratton ; S. A. Stamper, Conehatta; one sister, Mrs. Annie Holiday of Louisiana.
Mrs. Red was of Presbyterian faith.
The body was conveyed to New Hope church, in the old home community, where Rev. J. E.. Wills, conducted the service in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives who came to pay their last respects to the memory of this good woman, and the body was interred there.
