So often we are reminded that
death rides on every breeze, and
turks in every flower. This solemn
truth was forcibly impressed upon us
when our little village Of Tillman was
saddened on March 2, 1922, bv the
death Of Myrtle Russum Regan,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Rus
sum.
Myrtle was born Jan. l3, 1902 and
married to Mr.. J. B. Regain on Dec.

while and bore her suffering patiently
All that medical skill and nursing
could do was done, but could not stay
the hand Of death.

To His Excellency, Lee NJ Russell,
Governor Of the State Of Mississippi
The undersigned, your petitioners,
respectfully represent and would show
unto your Excelleney the following
facts, to-wit:
That, at the June term, 1921, of the
Circuit Court of Claiborne County, in
this State, Irwin Wilson was convict
ed of the crime of manufacturing
whiskey and was by the court sen
fenced TO serve, one year in the State
Penitentiary.
Petitioners would further show that
the said Irwin Wilson has, to the best
Of our knowledge, made a good pris-
oner and has rendered the state val
liable services and We would further
show that he has a wife and seven
children who are without support and
that by granting pardon to the said
n in Wilson now, he can return to
them, prepare land and plant crop
for their support. We believe he has
been punished sufficiently for the a.
bove crime and that his wife and chill
dren need his assistance for their sup
port and to this end we file this pc
tition and respectfully ask that the
said Irwin Wilson be pardoned.
