Obituary of Mary Francis Faircloth Joiner 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 10 Jul 1931.  



Relatives and numerous friends throughout the county were deeply 
grieved to learn of the death of Mrs. Mary Faircloth Joiner, which took place at her home 
eight miles east of Camilla, near Duffey, on Saturday, 4 Jul 1931, at 3:45 PM.  Mrs. 
Joiner's death followed a last illness of two weeks.  She had been an invalid for twenty 
five years, confined to her room the entire time.  Funeral services were held Sunday, 5 Jul 
1931, at 3:00 PM at Pleasant Hill church, where a large crowd of friends and relatives 
gathered for the service conducted by Rev H. N. Burnett.  Tender and beautiful tributes 
were paid to the saintly life of the deceased and there were many floral offerings 
expressing love and sympathy of friends.  The funeral was in charge of Mr. Bramlett, of 
Camilla Hardware and Implement Co.  Mrs. Joiner was sixty-three years of age when her 
life came to a close.  She was a daughter of the late Mrs. Lauretta Faircloth and was born 
and reared in the county.  She was happily married to Mr. W. C. D. Joiner, who preceded 
her to the grave about eight years ago.  She was reared in an atmosphere of Christian 
piety and had been a confessed Christian since her young girlhood, uniting with Pleasant 
Hill Baptist church in 1880.  For more than fifty years she had been a loyal member and 
for thirty years of this time had the privilege of serving actively and happily.  The 
influence of her long Christian life and unselfish and resigned spirit through the years of 
illness have reached far and wide among relatives, friends and all who knew her, and she 
was generally loved.  Surviving Mrs. Joiner are her two sons, Carl Joiner of Camilla and 
Crosby Joiner of Bainbridge and four daughters, Mrs. E. O. Barnes of Hopeful; Mrs. E. 
N. Lucky of Pelham; Mrs. Ethel Rowan of River Junction, Fla.; and Mrs. Julia Lawson of 
Camilla.  Brothers of Mrs. Joiner are Mr. E. V. Faircloth of Camilla and G. W. Faircloth 
of Baconton and sisters are Mrs. Ella Blanchard of Meigs; Mrs. Porter Piram of St. 
George, Fla.; Mrs. Minnie Lee Akridge of Sale City and Mrs. J. L. Stripling of Camilla.  
The sincere sympathy of friends throughout the county is extended the bereaved family in 
their sadness.
