The LaFayette Sun April 8, 1896
In Memory of Mrs. Nancy Pearson.
	The subject of this sketch was born January 8, 1817. She died March 16, 
1896 at the home of her son, Mr. J. M. Pearson, near Marcoot, Ala. She was the 
daughter of Wm. and Elizabeth Finley, was married to Mr. Richard (Note: Should 
be Richmond) Pearson early in life. They lived happily together for over 60 
years, reared a large family, being blessed with four girls and seven boys, all 
of whom lived to be grown, besides three children who died in infancy. She lost 
three sons in the Civil War, two since. She leaves two sons and three daughters 
and her husband, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn her 
departure. While we deplore her absence from us, yet nearly sixty years of a 
consistent Christian life is sufficient evidence of her acceptance in the sweet 
beyond. She joined the Primitive Baptist Church Nov. 11, 1843, where she 
remained until death. There was never a charge brought against her. Mrs. 
Pearson had been a patient sufferer for several years; all that could be done 
to stay the rider of the dark horse, was done by loving hearts but all in vain. 
She died without a murmur or regret, having served her country long and 
faithfully by being a faithful wife and mother. She and “Uncle Richmond” had 
lived in Chambers County as loyal subjects of State and County for over sixty 
years. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved, especially to the aged 
husband, who is now about 84 years of age.	R. H. G.
(Note: Per “Survey of Cemeteries in Chambers County, Alabama” there is a 
tombstone in the Macedonia Primitive Baptist 
Church Cemetery that reads: “Nancy M. Pearson, Jan. 8, 1817 – March 16, 1896”. 
She is buried next to her husband Richmond Pearson. gb)
