From the "Baptist
and Commoner", Baptist Publishing Company, Benton and Little Rock,
Arkansas, Volume VII, Number 37, January
9, 1924, was his obituary, written by his daughter, Rosa Lee (Mrs. Abner Gibson):
"On Friday night,
July 19, 1923, after an illness of two weeks, God in his infinite wisdom saw
fit to call dear father, Uriah Lee, to that blessed home above. He was born
July 22, 1841, was married to Elizabeth Williams in 1859. To this union twelve
children were born, of which nine are left to mourn his loss. Also dear mother
and one brother and one sister and a host of friends are left to mourn his
loss.
He lived a faithful
Christian life. He was a faithful husband and father and a friend to all, so we
bow in humble submission to the will of Him that doeth all things well. It was
so hard to give him up. We loved him so much, but God loved him more. He called
him to that eternal home, where there is no sin and sorrow. So dear ones, let
us not weep, as those that have no hope. It grieves our hearts to part with
him, yet I can rejoice to know that he is safe with Him who gave His life for
the sins of the world. He always lived a life for Christ, before his children,
always striving to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And
Oh! how I do love him for that. I can realize that our loss is heaven's gain,
for he died with a smile as if he saw Jesus setting on the right hand of God,
as did Stephens. We shall meet him again in that beautiful home above, to bask
in the sunlight of God's eternal love.
A kind and dear one
from us is gone,
A voice we loved is
stilled.
A place is vacant in
our home
Which never can be
filled.
Papa has gone to live
with Jesus,
And we know that he is
there,
We hope some day to
meet him
In that happy land so
fair.
Tears from our eyes
are falling,
Deep sorrow shades our
brow,
Cold in the grave he
is sleeping,
And we have no papa
now.
Written by his daughter, Mrs. A.
Gibson."
Regarding Uriah Lee's
date of death, we have conflicting information. His obituary indicates that he

Notes for GEORGE C. LEE:
The 1910 census for Forrest
County, Mississippi lists a George Lee with Mary Miles as his wife of 15 years

then married her sister, but that needs to be confirmed by further research. In
this census, there is a son, Edgar, age 6, and a mother-in-law, Miriah Miles,
age 65, living with them.

"Eva Johnson's
kindness won the kids
By KAT BERGERON
THE SUN HERALD
WIGGINS - The
neighborhood kids loved Eva M. Johnson. She was always there for them, but best
of all, she let them take away candy when they didn't have the cash to pay. Her
little grocery store on Magnolia Drive in Wiggins was a safe haven - and a
stash of goodies.
"We'd be playing
in the woods, run over to the store to buy candy and a soft drink, then we'd go
back to playing," said Susan Lott, the Stone County comptroller who grew
up in the piney-woods neighborhood.
"She'd keep a
ticket on each of us and at the end of the month let our parents know how much
it was. Sometimes we'd have her slice up just a couple of pieces of lunch meat
and we'd take it home to make a sandwich. When I think back on those times, they
really were incredible."
"Miss
Johnson," as the neighborhood politely called her, died Thursday at 92.
Although Johnson's Grocery closed two decades ago, those who grew up with its
friendly proprietor in the 1950s through the 1970s never forgot her kindness.
"She was a
sweetheart," Lott said.
Johnson is also
remembered for her strong faith. Until age slowed her, she taught Sunday school
and was faithfully involved in the women's league at Vardaman Street Baptist
Church.
"She believed in
teaching the Bible to all of her friends and anyone who would listen,"
said her daughter, Eva "Dimple" Ferrell of Wiggins.
"Her upbringing
was the key to her personality. Her mother died when she was a teen-ager so she
quit school to take care of the other children. She never resented or regretted
it.
"She lived the
Christian way and set a good example."
An obituary appears below.
Eva Johnson
Service: 11:30 a.m.
Saturday at Moore Funeral Home in Wiggins.
- WIGGINS - Eva M.
Johnson, 92, died Thursday, Oct. 31, 2002, in Wiggins.
Mrs. Johnson was a
retired owner of Johnson's Grocery in Wiggins and was a member of Vardaman Street
Baptist Church.
Survivors include a
daughter, Dimple Ferrell of Wiggins; a sister, Madie Baulch of Franklin, Tenn.;
two grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Notes for MITTIE RUTH GIBSON:
Mittie Ruth was never
able to support herself independently. She lived with her father, Abner Gibson,
or her sister, Eva Mae Gibson Johnson, most of her life, until her care
requirements necessitated living in a nursing home. She died in a nursing home
in Gulfport, Mississippi. Her obituary read as follows, "Mittie Ruth
Gibson, 82, of Gulfport, died November 13, 1998, in Gulfport. She was a member
of Vardaman Street Baptist Church in Wiggins, and a native of Stone County. She
is survived by two sisters, Eva Mae Johnson of Wiggins and Madie Baulch, of
Franklin, Tennessee; and a number of neices (sic) and nephews. Services were

24 Nov 1992, Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, LA.
Notes for MADIE GIBSON:
Madie was given the
name Maybell at birth, but her sister, Mittie Ruth, could never pronounce it
right and called her Madie. Eventually she legally changed her name to Madie
and dropped any reference to Maybell. She was raised in Bond, Mississippi and
attended Harrison-Stone-Jackson Agricultural High School and Junior College
(later known as Perkinston Junior College).
The following is her
wedding announcement contained in a local newspaper:
"Mr. Abner Gibson
announces the marriage of his daughter Miss Madie Gibson to Mr. James H.
Baulch, son of Mr. G. N. Baulch of Gallatin, Tenn. The groom is a graduate of
Bowling Green Commercial Law School of Bowling Green, Kentucky and has been
bookkeeping instructor and business manager at Perkinston Junior Colege (sic)
for two years when he resigned to take a position in Tennessee. The bride is a
graduate of Perkinston High School. The young couple left as soon as his work
was completed at the Junior College. They will be at his home in Gallatin,
Tenn."
Madie was an
accomplished seamstress, making clothes for her children and thirteen
grandchildren. She was an active member of the United Methodist Church, having
held numerous positions on church boards and committees. One of her greatest
gifts is her contributions to the Altar Guild and, more directly, the talent
she has with the flower arrangements for the church services. When Jim entered
semi-retirement, they enjoyed travels to West Germany, Austria, England,
Canada, and Brazil. Life was difficult for Madie after Jim died in November
1992. In September 1997 she moved from Slidell, Louisiana to Morningside
Assisted Living in Franklin, Tennessee.

Notes for JAMES HOMER BAULCH:
The middle name of
Homer came from the man who delivered James into this world, Dr. Homer Reese.
He was raised and schooled in Sumner County, Tennessee and spent his grammar
school years at the Salem School building where he laughingly claimed he
"was the smartest one in the eighth grade ... and the only one!" He
attended Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute (l.k.a. Spartanburg Junior
College), University of Tennessee, and Bowling Green College of Commerce.
The 1935 yearbook of
Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute, "The Trail Blazer", lists
Freshmen in attendance. On page 21, it lists "James Baulch, Gallatin,
Tenn."
The 1936 yearbook of
Spartanburg Textile Industrial Institute, "The Olympic", lists
Sophomores in attendance. On page 10, it lists "Jim Baulch, Gallatin, VA
(sic), 'What I must do concerns me, not what people think.'"
The 1938 yearbook of
Bowling Green College of Commerce, "The Towers", lists the 1938
Seniors in attandance. On page 20, it lists "James H. Baulch, B. S.,
Gallatin, Tennessee, 'Most powerful is he who has himself in his own
power.'"
After graduating from
college, Jim became an instructor and business manager at
Harrison-Stone-Jackson Agricultural High School and Junior College (l.k.a.
Perkinston Junior College), where he met a student, Madie Gibson, who became
his wife.
The record of Jim and
Madie's marriage is in the Harrison County, Mississippi court book 50, page
640, where it indicates that they were married April 13, 1940 by H. C. Moore,
Justice of the Peace.
He and Madie then
traveled to Gallatin, Tennessee to visit his family, and they moved to
Charlotte, North Carolina where he was a bookkeeper and instructor for Carolina
Business College. He later joined his brother, Ernest, as schoolmaster at
"Baulch Junior School for Boys" in Park City, Kentucky until 1949.
From there they moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky where he was Business Manager
for Hopkinsville Lincoln-Mercury and bookkeeper for Hopkinsville Auto Parts
until 1958. He was then recruited by Oak Motors of Nashville, Tennessee to be
Assistant Business Manager. In 1959 he was recruited by Jim Burke Buick of
Birmingham, Alabama to be Business Manager. In 1964 he followed his doctor's
advice to find a less stressful job and moved to Slidell, Louisiana to be
Business Manager and part owner of John Brown Olds (later Tom Brown Olds-Buick,
Del Williams Motors, and Bill Ward Motors), Slidell, Louisiana until his
retirement in 1986 (excepting for a brief return to Birmingham, Alabama to help
out Jim Burke Buick in 1971).
James Baulch was
received into membership of the Salem Methodist Church, north of Gallatin,
Sumner County, Tennessee in October 1929 by his brother, Rev. Ernest F. Baulch.
He remained an active member of the United Methodist Church his entire life,
holding numerous positions on its boards and committees and taught an Adult
Sunday School Class for over 30 years. He was an ardent believer in maintaining
a healthy body, engaging in a variety of exercise programs, particularly those
centered around running. He won numerous awards for finishing top in his age
group for 10K and 5K runs through age 76. Having been raised on a farm, the
"farmer blood" never left him. He maintained a vegetable garden
wherever he lived and helped his children establish ones for them.
Largely due to his
active life style, he looked and acted younger than his years. He was admired
and respected by his friends and family for his physical, mental, and spiritual
strength. He was the epitome of reliability: if he promised he would do
something, he did it as committed and did it well. While quite introverted, he
was a friend to anyone who needed him, often selflessly sacrificing himself in
support of others. Friends and family knew they could count on him.
He and his wife, Madie,
lived a beautiful fifty-two years together. They were always committed to each
other, to their family, to their church, and to their friends. They were both
victims of a tragic car accident (being hit broadside by a one-ton truck that
ran through an inoperative red light) in May 1992 and were hospitalized for
over a month. With two brain hemorrhages and numerous broken bones, recovery
was slow and physical therapy was difficult. Six months later, a massive stroke
put him in a deep, irreversible coma. With no hope of a functional life, his
family followed his often repeated request if such an occasion arose. He was
taken home and removed from life support systems. He died on November 24, 1992,
two days before Thanksgiving. It was as he would have liked it: he was at home
in his own bed, kept warm by the quilt made by his mother that had been a
wedding gift to Madie and him, and surrounded by his family. Madie, all three
children, and all their spouses were there, singing hymns from the United
Methodist Hymnal. It was during his son Howard's singing of "How Great
Thou Art" that he breathed his last breath here on earth. His son-in-law,
Floyd Duvall, fittingly read the Twenty-Third Psalm as he joined the angels in
heaven.
Originally, Jim was
placed in a mausoleum in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Slidell, Louisiana. After Madie
moved to Franklin, Tennessee in September 1997, he was moved to his final
burial place in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, near his
parents and his brother, Nelson Howard Baulch.
