A Mother's Day Tribute

Mrs. B. O. Harrison of Whigham, age 93, was born August 10, 1873. She is the
mother of nine children, six girls and three boys. She has twenty-five
grandchildren, thirty-three great grandchildren and one great-great grandson.

Mrs. Harrison has an alert, active mind. Her memory goes back to happenings
of ninety years. If anyone in the county is doubtful of dates of things that
happened, they come to Mrs. Harrison for verification.

She remembers the first automobile that ever came to Grady County. She also
remembers when a sawmill was in operation where Twin-Lakes now is.

Mrs. Harrison is still active and enjoys doing small chores. For pastime she
reads, writes and watches T. V. She receives and sends mail everyday. She
always looks forward to mail time because she knows one of her hundreds of
friends have remembered to send her a card or letter.

She is truly one of the world's sweetest mothers.
