The Pulaski Enterprise, Friday, 3 Jun 1927:
Death Claims Old Time Resident
George Pearson, age 72, a former resident of Mounds, died in this city Tuesday night. He had been a resident in this community for over 50 years and had resided in this city for the past three years.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Lawrence Gray, pastor of the Congregational Church at his late residence in Mound City at 10 o’clock Thursday morning.
He was a retired employee of the Illinois Central railway company, having reached the age limit and a pensioner of that company having earned his retirement.
Surviving Mr. Pearman (sic) are two daughters, Mrs. Bailey Arter, of Chicago, and Mrs. Nettie Miller, of Mattoon, Ill.; also three sons, Ben Pearson, of Chicago, P. E. Pearson, of Evansville, Ind., and Howard (sic) Pearson, of Mound City. His wife died about ten years ago.
George is the son of Joseph Allen Pearson and Nancy Ann Fields. He was born and died in Pulaski County, IL. He married Emma Kate Green in 1883. She died 10 years before he did, and so it would seem no one bothered to have George's date of death inscribed on their shared headstone. As of mid-November 2014, George's date of death has finally been added.
George descends from Thomas Pearson, a Revolutionary War soldier, and his wife, Elizabeth Palmer.
