Fido the Possum Dog and a Saintly Church Woman
A long memory piece recalls Fido a yellow ear dog born at the foot of No Business mountain who protected a family and chased possums and sheep. His loyalty ends when a rope and a hard decision take him to the woods for the safety of neighbors. The text also honors Mary P Creed born 1835 who died 1908 at White Plains North Carolina, a Christian woman known for kindness and steadfast faith, with funeral services led by J C Holmes and T Wesley Wooten.
