Obituary of Emma Missouri Palmer Poore 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 13 Sep 1957.  

Camilla, Georgia.  
Mrs. Martin Poore died at the age of 82 about 
11:00 AM yesterday (Thursday), 12 Sep 1957, at Mitchell County Hospital after a long 
illness due to the infirmities of age.  Funeral plans are incomplete, pending the arrival of 
some of the members of the family, but one of them said the services would probably be 
some time Saturday, 14 Sep 1957, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church where she held 
membership.  Mrs. Poore was the former Miss Emma Missouri Palmer, daughter of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Palmer, of Mitchell County.  She had spent her entire life here.  
She was the widow of Mart Poore who died in November of 1950.  One son, James  
Medford Poore, died in March 1955 and since that time she had made her home at the old 
family home place with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. James Medford (Ouida) Poore, and 
grandson J. M. Poore Jr. (Jimmy).  Survivors include the daughter-in-law and grandson 
who lovingly cared for her during her last illness; one daughter, Mrs. Jewell Carrera of 
Mariposa, California; two sons, Neufville Poore of Atlanta and J. Lorraine Poore of 
Leesburg, Fla;  one sister, Mrs. Ila Frazier of Pelham; three brothers, Hubert I. Palmer of
