MRS. THOMAS M. HAYGOOD
     June 22, 1951, the Culloden Methodist Church and Woman's Society of 
Christian Service suffered a great loss in the death of one of their most 
faithful members, Mrs. T. M. Haygood.
     Mrs. Haygood, formerly Miss Minnie Martin, spent more than forty-five 
years of her life in this community, having moved here from her native 
Crawford County.
     During those years, as the wife of Deacon Haygood of the Primitive 
Baptist Church and herself a member of the Methodist Church, Mrs. Haygood 
lived a life interested in all the Churches and the organizations and 
activities of each church.
     Her active support and devotion to the Sunday School of her church was 
remarkable, and nowhere could a more faithful member of the Woman's Society of 
Christian Service be found.
     It is a pleasant recollection that through the years, form the days of 
the "Parsonage Aid Society" that Mrs. Haygood has been most ardent in her 
interest and work of the parsonage and the missionary activities of the 
Woman's Society of Christian Service.  Many are the pastors who can recall her 
warm reception upon their arrival as a "new pastor."  Nothing delighted her 
more than to have her pastors family and friends to "come spend the day with 
me."
     Among many, many qualities of graciousness, as this friend feels it, her 
most beautiful attribute was the coveted virtue of loving people.  While she 
did not condone wrong doing in anyone she loved people, both good and not so 
good, just for themselves, and did not spare herself in anyway to express her 
love and thoughtfulness.  There was never an occasion of sadness, or gladness, 
that Miss Minnie did not share with her friends and acquaintances.  Truly it 
can be said of her that she went about doing good.
     After her physical strength became limited she was constantly expressing 
her gratitude and love for every simple act done for her in such an 
appreciative way that mad ethe strong feel remiss.
     Mrs. Haygood was a citizen of the old type who believed in high standards 
of honesty and upright living.  This community is better by her having lived 
here and her influence is a treasured legacy.
     The Church and the W. S. C. S. grieve at her passing and feel it as a 
personal loss, but we members rejoice with her family, as we are bound to feel 
that she still lives, and has merely passed through the gate to a more blessed 
state where she is at home with her loved ones and God.
-By Mrs. H. G. Holmes,
 For Culloden W. S. C. S.
