Parents William Allen and Elizabeth Mccaskill∼Mrs. Lula Allen Larimore passed from this life on Wednesday, February 9, 1955, at the Eliza Coffey Memorial Hospital in Florence, Ala. She was seventy-one years of age. "Miss Lula" was reared in Henderson, Tenn. For a number of years she served as secretary to the president and as teacher of commercial subjects in Freed-Hardeman College. On July 20, 1930, she was married to Virgil Larimore, son of the late esteemed T. B. Larimore. The ceremony was performed in the Jap Hardeman home in Henderson. For several years they made their home in the T. B. Larimore residence in Mars Hill, Ala. When brethren proposed a Christian school for that area, the Larimores sold this residence with some twenty acres of land for that purpose. They then erected a new modern home on an adjoining lot where they resided at the time of "Miss Lula's" passing. A closer, more companionable relation than that of "Brother Virgil" and Miss Lula" could hardly be described. Theirs was a hospitable home. "Elisha's room" was there for many preachers who came to Mars Hill. Their influence for good has been felt by the community and by all who have passed that way. A great woman has passed to her eternal abode. In addition to Brother Virgil, "Miss Lula" leaves a sister, Mrs. Hope Mayfield, and a brother, T. F. Davis, both of Henderson, Tenn. Funeral services were conducted at the Mars Hill Church as requested by Mrs. Larimore with R. G. Hibbett, Sr., Paul Simon, and the writer participating. -H. A. Dixon.
