View all 9 ReflectionsI always remember the sadness that Halloween brought to my grandmother, your daughter Sadie, as she recalled your death. A little more than a month later on December 1, 1929 your devoted wife Rebecca with her broken heart would pass away. The end of 1929 brought much sorrow to your family, changing everyone. Rest In Peace Deputy Pegram
