Tombstone Tuesday: Pearl & Dave

September 10, 2013 Tonia Kendrick

White-Pearl-Dave-TT-v2-wPearl Ward, daughter of Newton Coleman Ward and Rachel Louisa Johnson, was born 15 April 1923 in Newport, Georgia, and died 23 Mar 2002 in Gulfport, Mississippi.  She married Mahlon David “Dave” White on 29 January 1972 in Akron, Ohio.  Dave was born 5 November 1929 in Hollway, Ohio and died 7 June 1987.

Pearl and Dave had both been married and divorced twice before, but in their case, the third time was certainly a charm.

Pearl was my grandmother’s next oldest sister.  I remember them coming to visit when I was younger.  They lived in the Gulfport / Pascagoula area by then, and they always brought homemade crab dip.

They are buried at Finley Cemetery in Gulfport, Mississippi.

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
